Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; expect heavy congestion and limited availability on game and concert nights near Wrigley Field — rideshare is usually easier late-night.
Dress code: Very casual — jerseys, hoodies, and post-game attire are common.
Noise level: Loud during bar let-outs and post-game crowds; conversation is limited and mostly standing-room.
Weekend wait: Short counter line with 5–15 minutes typical after games; lines can spike but move quickly since it’s by-the-slice.

Vegan options: Yes — rotating vegan specials and occasional dedicated vegan slices, but availability varies by night.
Gluten-free options: Limited — no reliable gluten-free crust; not recommended for strict gluten-free diners.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better for casual, late-night stops than a first date — it’s standing-room, loud, and geared toward post-bar slices rather than conversation.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes — there are no reservations and only limited counter seating; expect to stand or take slices to-go during busy hours.
Is it kid-friendly? Earlier evenings can work for a quick slice, but late-night crowds are adult-oriented and not ideal for young kids.
Best For
Better for: Creative, novelty late-night slices near Wrigley with fast grab-and-go service after games and bar crawls.
Skip if: You want a sit-down pizzeria, quieter atmosphere, traditional minimalist slices, or dependable gluten-free options.
