Great wood-fired, Neapolitan style pizzas, but don't sleep on the Detroit style "US Pizza Cup Winner"...Great beer selection and tasty cocktails for washing that pie down.

They specialize in fried chicken and fish, but we usually go for appetizers and cocktails on their sprawling outdoor patio. Their frozen negronis are the perfect cure for a toasty summer day in Chicago! When it is a really nice day, expect a wait!
