Pizza Lobo
8.4
Pizza Lobo is a New York–style slice and pie shop with a large patio, fire pits, and a full bar that stays busy with families, groups, and fans of The Bear.

Borgata pizza with pepperoni, basil, and Calabrian chile honey, Bye Felicia pizza with pepperoni, ricotta, and hot honey, Spicy chopped salad
What Makes it Special: NY-style pies, slices, and a big patio that’s as popular with families as with bar crowds.
Il Girasole Trattoria is a newer Northern Italian spot at the edge of Logan Square where brothers Rodolfo and Christian Hernandez serve ossobuco, chicken milanese, and a long list of pastas. The renovated former pub space is cozy rather than flashy, but the menu leans classic trattoria with a structured happy hour and Restaurant Week menus.

Ossobuco with saffron risotto, Spicy arrabbiata with meatballs, Chicken milanese with arugula salad
What Makes it Special: A chef-owned Northern Italian trattoria with a deep menu of classics and a surprisingly thoughtful early-bird deal.

Cheese Thin Crust Pizza, Sausage Thin Crust Pizza, Vito & Angelo Special Thin Crust Pizza
