DOWNTOWN — Side by side, two seven-inch personal deep dish pizzas look suggestive enough to inspire a breast cancer awareness month promotion announced Tuesday at Bacino's Italian restaurants in Lincoln Park and Downtown.

During the restaurant's month-long "Bacino's for Boobs" campaign, personal pizza pairs can be ordered for $14 and will arrive wrapped in a pink ribbon. One dollar from each order will be donated to the One in a Million campaign to fund the fight against breast cancer.

Bacino's owner, Linda Bacin, is herself a breast cancer survivor, and said she wanted "to do something to help end this disease that not only affected myself personally, but affects almost 200,000 new women each year."

"It's hard to find someone who has not been affected by breast cancer," Bacin continued in a statement.

Orders can be placed for a $14 "pizza pair" at Bacino's locations at 75 E. Wacker Dr. and 2204 N. Lincoln Ave.

Bacino's will also donate a dollar for every Tweet or photo post tagged with #BacinosForBoobs this month.
