I went to watch one of the FIFA matches here, the vibe was really good, the pizzas were so yummy and there’s a photo booth that’s hidden away at the back of the restaurant.

Public parking garage is next door and super convenient. Our server was amazing! She worked with the chef to prepare something special to accommodate my friend with many allergies. Fun vibe. Kids only allowed with parents. As a parent who still wants to feel like we're "out", everyone was happy. The appetizer servings were large and the food was delicious.

Don’t even think, just order the potato skins. They are oven fried and stuffed with pulled pork and I literally want them every day for the rest of my life. Then I got the Linda pizza on a GF crust and allergy precautions were taken since I have celiac disease. All food came out flagged, servers were knowledgeable and the crust was INCREDIBLE. I’m a thick crust girl. I wish the world made GF stuffed crust but alas. This crust was perfect beyond perfect (unless you prefer thin crust to which I say buh bye 😅) Don’t sleep on this place, go enjoy some Chicago pizza.

SO happy I stopped here!!! Staying in a nearby hotel for work. Atmosphere is great, TVs showing a good selection of current sports. I was thinking pizza, but a burger is so hard to decline! Yuengling on tap. Haley my server strongly suggested the classic burger (her favorite), and I decided to try it. Amazing. Beef was excellent, and the cheese...so much cheese!!! It made for a great dinner on a cold day. Haley was very kind and attentive! Highly recommend this place and definitely ask for Haley if she's working!

Such a cool place in Old Town area! We got the tavern style pizzas and whipped feta appetizer. Everything was very good. One thing I will recommend is ask for a quiet table if you are making a reservation. We always try to request a booth, but that ended up not being the best area to sit, since it was loud and very orange since the only real light by us was from the neon sign. Luckily the great company, service and food made it a great meal! I would just try to sit on the quieter side of the restaurant next time. I really love the look and decor in the restaurant. The tire swings by the smaller bar were a nice touch and really cool!
