The faithful are also foodies, so yearly Levi's Stadium and its hospitality partner Levy go to great lengths to offer delicious culinary experiences for loyal Niner fans.
New vendors for the 2024-25 season, which begins with the upcoming Monday Night Football game against the New York Jets, include two family-owned restaurants with long Bay Area histories and an all-halal Middle Eastern menu. Fans also can look ahead to a brand new craft beer from an area chef-brewery partnership; a creative latest menu from the stadium's executive chef Alvin Kabiling; and later within the season, a brand new pizza based on one in every of quarterback Brock Purdy's favorite dishes.
In introducing the brand new lineup, Nick Wolfe, vp of hospitality and retail for the 49ers and Levi's Stadium, said he was excited concerning the opportunity to “reinvent and reimagine” the fan experience each season — and showcase local partners in the method.
Here's a range. Keep checking back as we'll be adding more returning favorites and details as chefs finalize their menus:
NEW PROVIDERS THIS SEASON
Toto's Pizzeria: This San Bruno and Belmont classic, which has been around since 1932, will make its debut on the stadium. Several generations of the Spadarella family will bake and serve single-serving Neapolitan pizzas with pepperoni and cheese, in addition to cannoli (created from an old family recipe, in fact).
Berkeley by IB: This family-run business has been feeding Berkeley students and football fans since 1991. In their first foray into the South, co-owners Fuad Baba and Michael Dughman—the latest generation to run the business—serve up IB's Original Cheesesteak and their popular Honey Garlic Wings.
Kebab cart: Husband and wife Ghezal and Yasir Wesa, owners of this cable car-style food truck and catering business, present an all-halal menu of Afghan fusion street food, including falafel, wraps and hummus plates. The Contra Costa County-based couple founded the San Francisco-based business in 2013.
Crumbs: It was because of Wolfe's wife that these large, decadent cookies were added to the stadium menu. Crumbl will offer five flavors on a rotating basis – and no less than one in every of them shall be chocolate.
RECURRING FAVORITES
Tony G’s Slice House: Tony Gemignani, the Bay Area's world pizza master, discovered QB Purdy's love of cheeseburgers and decided to create a brand new pizza with that theme. The beef pizza is topped with white cheddar cheese, mozzarella, peppers and applewood smoked bacon, and finished with green onions, peppadews, Romano cheese, oregano and a drizzle of barbecue sauce and garlic oil. (The Purdy Pie won't debut on Monday Night Football, but perhaps at the subsequent home game.)
Chef Rodney Baca’s shop: This San Jose chef shall be making his signature pastrami sandwiches with house-cured meats, coleslaw with maple aioli, pineapple molasses mustard and house-made pickles, together with the East Side Burger, inspired by his wife Maddie's San Jose heritage. It's topped with candied bacon, red relish, jalapenos and cheese. New from Baca is an IPA, Apricot Summer Orchard, a collaboration with Hapa's Brewing.
Starbird: These folks began the local fried chicken trend in Sunnyvale in 2014 after which expanded it throughout the Bay Area. This season, they're serving crispy chicken fillets with two house-made sauces and seasoned fries, each cooked in non-GMO rice bran oil
