A new restaurant is taking over the responsibility of offering free food in hopes of inspiring another Bears win this weekend.
Inspired by the Wieners Circle’s free hot dog giveaway, Dicey’s Pizza & Tavern is now offering up free pizza if Caleb Williams once again throws four touchdowns on Sunday.
“Chicago Sports Fans! We want to thank @wienerscircle for inspiring @ayeeecaleb and the @chicagobears to score four passing touchdowns by offering up free hot dogs to the City of Chicago. We got next!” the restaurant posted on social media.
If Williams can complete four passing touchdowns once again — this time against the Las Vegas Raiders — Dicey’s Pizza & Tavern, located at 1209 W. Chicago Ave., said it will “continue this tradition” by giving away free tavern-style pizza from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sept. 30.
The Wieners Circle bet led to thousands of free hot dogs for Chicago Bears fans earlier this week. Even Williams’ dog Supa was on hand to “supa-vise” the festivities.

Fans waited for hours, with lines stretching down blocks as thousands sought their free treat.
The promise from the famous hot dog joint, known for its food and snarky attitude, came last Friday, when the store posted on social media that if Williams threw four touchdowns against the Cowboys, free hot dogs would be served up Tuesday.
Moments after Williams threw his fourth touchdown in Sunday’s game, the restaurant posted a hilarious response, calling for beef backup.
By Monday afternoon, deliveries with dozens of boxes of brand new Vienna Beef hot dogs were seen being carted into the restaurant.
According to a release, longtime Chicago bakery and Wieners Circle bun supplier S. Rosen’s said it was partnering with the hot dog joint to help out with the poppy seed buns.
On a typical Tuesday, The Wieners Circle sells about 400 dogs, Manager Evelyn Morris told NBC Chicago’s Patrick Fazio. For the giveaway, they ordered 10 times that amount.
Can Williams do it again?
Fans will have to wait and see.
