Notable Picks
8.4
Coal-fired thin crust with a charred edge and topping combinations that lean modern without losing Chicago comfort. The move is to build the table around one white-leaning pie and one red-sauce classic so the crisp, blistered bake stays the headline. It’s casual, busy in the middle, and most rewarding when you eat it hot.

White Pizza, Pepperoni & Whipped Ricotta Pizza, Pistachio Pesto Pizza
What Makes it Special: Coal-fired thin crust that delivers blistered char with creative, balanced topping builds.
