Portillo’s Menu Prices (2026)
Portillo’s menu prices are the first thing to check before you walk into one of Chicago’s most famous food stops — and the hardest to pin down, because Portillo’s doesn’t publish a single national price list. This page fixes that the honest way: every price below is a real DoorDash delivery price we pulled on Oct 17, 2026 from two Illinois locations (Chicago and Orland Park), labeled as delivery, with the in-store gap explained instead of guessed. If you’re visiting Chicago, start with the Italian Beef. If you’re ordering in, read the delivery-vs-in-store box first — delivery prices run higher than the counter.
Portillo’s Prices at a Glance (Delivery)
| Item | Delivery Price (Oct 17, 2026) | Calories (Official Nutrition Sheet) |

The “+” on DoorDash prices is DoorDash’s own “from” marker — your total depends on size and add-ons. The two Illinois stores we checked sit within $0.60 of each other on every shared item, which tells you in-state delivery pricing is fairly tight. Out-of-state delivery listings run higher (Italian Beef up to ~$13.00, Hot Dog up to ~$7.00 in California listings we saw as corroboration) — that’s the location variation nobody else shows you. For how these numbers compare to budget chains, see our value menus hub.
Italian Beef: The Sandwich That Built Portillo’s
Portillo’s started in 1963 as a hot dog stand in Villa Park, Illinois. The Italian Beef made it a Chicago institution: thin-sliced seasoned roast beef piled on a French roll, with your choice of sweet peppers, hot peppers (giardiniera), or both — and the all-important dip question. Regular (693 cal) is the standard sandwich; Big Beef (1,040 cal) is the larger build. Ask for it dipped (whole sandwich dunked in gravy), wet, or dry — dipped is the full Chicago experience, wet is the middle ground. Delivery price: $10.74–$10.95+ for the sandwich. The Combo Beef & Sausage (858 cal Regular / 1,360 Big) adds a char-grilled Italian sausage link to the beef — price varies by location, check at your stand. Full detail on sizes, peppers, and the dipped-vs-dry call: Portillo’s Italian Beef Price.
Chicago-Style Hot Dogs
The Chicago-style hot dog is an all-beef frank “dragged through the garden”: yellow mustard, chopped white onions, bright green sweet pickle relish, a dill pickle spear, tomato slices, pickled sport peppers, and a dash of celery salt — on a poppy seed bun. No ketchup. That’s the rule, and Portillo’s follows it. Delivery: $4.99–$5.55+ (Regular, 352 cal) with a Jumbo (462 cal) available. The Chili Cheese Dog (Regular 511 cal, delivery $6.74–$7.10+) and the plant-based Garden Dog (332 cal, delivery $5.90 at Chicago) round out the dog menu. Details: Portillo’s Hot Dogs Price.
Char-Broiled Burgers
Portillo’s burgers are char-broiled 1/3-pound patties on a brioche bun — a different lane from the beef and dogs, and worth ordering if your group is split. Delivery: Hamburger $8.49–$8.50+ (Single 592 cal / Double 921 cal), Cheeseburger $9.36–$9.50+, Bacon Hamburger $10.36–$10.55+, Bacon Cheeseburger $10.99–$11.60+, and the Rodeo Burger $12.11–$12.20+ (Single 795 cal / Double 1,164 cal) with bacon, onion rings, red onion, American cheese, and BBQ sauce. Full burger breakdown: Portillo’s Burgers Price.
Salads: The Chopped Salad Is the Main Event
The Chopped Salad (506 cal without dressing / 846 with, per the official sheet) is Portillo’s most famous salad — romaine, iceberg, red cabbage, chicken, bacon, blue cheese, pasta, and tomatoes, chopped fine. Delivery: $16.35 at the Chicago store we checked; the Orland Park menu didn’t list it, so we don’t publish an Orland Park price for it. Also on the menu: Caesar ($12.10+ delivery), Greek with Grilled Chicken ($16.35), Spicy Chicken Chopped ($16.95), Chicken Pecan with Bacon ($16.95), and the Garden Side Salad ($8.10). Full salad guide: Portillo’s Chopped Salad Price.
Chicken, Fish, Sides & Soup
Beyond the headliners: Breaded Chicken Sandwich ($9.65 delivery, 601 cal), Spicy Chicken Sandwich ($9.61–$10.15, 549 cal), Char-Broiled Chicken Sandwich ($9.11–$9.65), Chicken Tenders ($7.74–$8.00+, 4pc 337 cal), Breaded Whitefish Sandwich ($9.40, 250 cal for the fish). Sides: Fries ($3.74–$4.25+, Regular 340 cal), Cheese Fries ($3.74–$4.25+), Onion Rings ($4.99–$5.65+, Regular 318 cal), Cheese Sauce ($1.49–$1.70+), Sweet Peppers ($1.24–$1.30), Tamale ($3.36–$3.85, 340 cal), Chicken Noodle Soup ($6.11–$6.45, 138 cal), Cup of Chili ($6.11–$6.30, 431 cal with cheese and onion). Ribs run $20.05+ delivery at Chicago.
Cake & Shakes
Portillo’s chocolate cake is a destination in itself — a thick slice of moist chocolate layer cake with chocolate frosting (718 cal, delivery $4.86–$5.40). A Whole Chocolate Cake runs $34.98–$38.55 delivery. Also: Strawberry Shortcake and Chocolate Éclair Cake ($6.74–$7.35 each), and the Chocolate Cake Shake ($6.45–$6.49+, Regular 846 cal / Large 1,494 cal) — cake blended into a shake. Vanilla Shake (Regular 497 cal) and Strawberry Shake (Regular 939 cal) and Malts (Regular 553 cal) round out the frozen side. Save the cake for last: it travels better than the shake if you’re ordering delivery.
Visiting Chicago? What to Order
If you’re in Chicago for the first time, the move is simple: Italian Beef (dipped, hot peppers), a Chicago-style hot dog, fries, and a cake slice. That’s the full Portillo’s story in one tray — roughly $10.74–$10.95 (beef) + $4.99–$5.55 (dog) + $3.74–$4.25 (fries) + $4.86–$5.40 (cake) at delivery prices, less at the counter. Portillo’s now operates in 10 states (Illinois, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Texas), so the Chicago originals are no longer Chicago-only — but the downtown Chicago locations are still the pilgrimage. If you’re comparing Chicago food stops before a trip, the price logic here is the same one behind our deals hub: know the price before you arrive.
Delivery vs In-Store: Why We Label Everything
Most Portillo’s price pages you find in search results are undated delivery menus from a single aggregator, presented as if they were the restaurant’s prices. They aren’t. Delivery platforms add markup and fees, and Portillo’s own counters charge less. We label every figure on this site as a delivery price with the check date (Oct 17, 2026) and the two stores it came from. When in-store prices get verified, we’ll add them as a separate column — not by quietly swapping the numbers. That’s the difference between a price page you can trust and one you can’t. For delivery specifics (which apps, fees, what travels well), see Portillo’s Delivery.
How to Save on Portillo’s Menu Prices
Three honest ways: (1) Order at the counter instead of delivery — you skip platform markup entirely. (2) Share the big items — a Big Beef (1,040 cal) plus fries feeds two light eaters for less than two Regulars. (3) Check the app before ordering — Portillo’s runs app offers; we don’t publish unverified coupons, so check the app the day you order. More value thinking: Portillo’s Value & Deals.
