When you imagine foods that you take a slice of, pizza or pie is probably at the top of your list.

But IHOP wants another food to be included in that group: Pancakes.

With National Pizza Day coming up this Saturday, the popular pancake chain is offering for a limited time a "Pancizza," or a pizza-shaped pancake. Consumers in New York, Los Angeles, Dallas and Chicago will be able to pick up or have delivered the Pancizza through food delivery service DoorDash and IHOP.com on Saturday and Sunday.

IHOP is implementing this special to celebrate the fact that, after entering a partnership with DoorDash this past summer, around 1,000 IHOP restaurants nationwide use the service, according to IHOP Chief Marketing Officer Brad Haley.

"We thought what better way to celebrate that since National Pizza Day since pizza was one of the first, and still is, the biggest take-out and delivery item," Haley said.

Customers will have three choices of flavors with their Pancizza: bacon and cheddar, cupcake and buttermilk.

On top of pick-up and delivery at various IHOP restaurants across the country, the famous Bleecker Street Pizza in New York will become "The IHOP Pancizzeria" on Saturday, serving slices of the Pancizza from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.

Though the Pancizza is currently a limited-time offer at 100 IHOP restaurants, Haley said that he imagines it is a special "more restaurants will want to do it beyond this weekend.”

This promotion follows one of the most buzzworthy summers for IHOP in recent memory. Coinciding with its 60th birthday, the chain decided to momentarily change its name to "IHOb," with the "b" standing for burgers, to promote a new burger line. In July 2018, IHOP President Darren Rebelez told USA TODAY that the move was successful in getting more people to talk about IHOP and to place a larger emphasis on lunch and dinner.

According to Stephanie Peterson, IHOP's executive director of communications, the Pancizza promotion follows the IHOb spirit of "maintaining the spirit and pop culture relevancy" of the brand.
