Vibes: Family Friendly Favorites Group Dining Gatherings Comfort Food Classics Trendy Table Hotspots
A classic Chicago deep-dish stop in Printer’s Row that’s built for families who want a sit-down pizza night with a little spectacle. The move is to commit to one deep dish (it takes time) and add one appetizer so the table stays happy while the pie bakes.
Must-Try Dishes: Deep dish pizza (sausage or spinach Margherita), Homemade mozzarella sticks, Thin crust veggie pizza
