đŸ„– Doughboys Brings Chicago Italian Beef to OB

For this special Monday night, we’re teaming up with our friends at Doughboys, one of the newest restaurants in Ocean Beach. Known for their smash burgers, wings, and pizza, Doughboys has quickly become a favorite hangout for OB locals.

But here’s the twist: for the first time ever, Doughboys is creating a Chicago-style Italian beef right here in Ocean Beach. Served free to our guests, these sandwiches will be piled high with tender beef, dripping with rich au jus, and topped with Monica’s homemade giardiniera—a spicy, tangy mix that takes the flavor to another level. Trust us, this will be the best Italian beef Ocean Beach has ever seen.

Doughboys isn’t just about food—they’re about community. Their team is passionate about bringing people together around the table, and we’re excited to showcase this collaboration with a true Ocean Beach favorite.
