A refreshing and unique pizza spot that offers a welcome break from the usual Chicago scene.

First night in Chicago and this pizza is delicious ! Definitely come here to try great Roman style Chicago pizza. This is right up the street from the Best Western Hotel in River North and that's where I was staying but this place is good enough to travel to . Excellent pizza. We're from New York and we're tough pizza critics. Since it was my first time here I wanted to try Chicago pizza. And I know Chicago is mostly known for deep dish but those places looked like tourist traps . This place is very chill with really nice staff and sports on the TV if you like that. The Cargo Rita margarita.was delicious. The Italian Job drink is STRONG and has bourbon in it . Calamari was fresh and not an afterthought. Tasty. Pretty in Pink drink has vodka and strawberry puree, very tasty with mint . But the pizza is the star . Airy crust , flavorful and two people can share a small and probably still take a couple slices back to the Hotel. Got a half Fun Guy truffle sauce and mushrooms and half margherita style pizza (you can split the flavor) Waitress was really nice. I would come back.
