Since making his Major League Baseball debut in 2024, Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes has thrown more than 5,000 pitches. Yet, it may be the “pitch” he made off the field that will have the biggest impact this summer.
Earlier this year, the 6-foot-6 right-hander challenged Sheetz to think bigger when it came to hot dogs. The restaurant and convenience chain needed something with a bit more “rizz” on its menu … and Sheetz listened.
On Monday, Skenes signed autographs and introduced fans at a Pittsburgh-area Sheetz to “The Big Glizzy,” an extra-large Nathan’s Famous premium hot dog. Later that day, the menu item was officially unveiled at Sheetz’s “Glizzy Gala,” an invitation-only event where loyal customers and content creators received an exclusive first taste of the new menu item.
What started as internet slang has officially made its way to the menu. The Big Glizzy has joined the Sheetz Made-to-Order lineup, bringing a viral cultural phenomenon to customers across the company’s seven-state footprint.
Sheetz has declared summer 2026 the “Summer of the Glizzy” with the launch of “The Big Glizzy,” available starting at $3.99 and offered at all of Sheetz’s more than 830 locations.
