Logistics & Planning
Parking: Limited street parking on 6th Street; metered spots open up late night but can be scarce. No dedicated lot or valet.
Dress code: Casual—hoodies, jeans, and sneakers are standard; no dress code enforced.
Noise level: Moderate to loud, especially on weekends when post-club crowds roll in. Not ideal for quiet conversation.
Weekend wait: Usually no wait for slices, though the line can stretch 5–10 minutes around midnight rush.
Weekday lunch: Rarely busy during daytime hours; walk right up.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—cheese and veggie slices are regularly available.
Vegan options: Limited—ask for cheeseless veggie slices; no dedicated vegan cheese.
Gluten-free options: No gluten-free crusts; standard wheat-based pies only.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not really—Chico’s is more of a functional late-night stop than a date setting. It’s bright, busy, and geared toward speed rather than atmosphere.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—there are a few counter seats, but most people grab slices to go. No reservations accepted or needed.
Is it kid-friendly? Better for adults, especially late night. The space is small and geared toward fast service, with no kid-specific amenities.
Best For
Better for: Chico’s is better for very late-night, budget-friendly pizza when other spots are closed.
Skip if: Skip if you’re looking for artisanal pies, sit-down service, or a quieter environment—opt for Montesacro or Square Pie Guys instead.
