Master Critic Review

Pro Shop Pizza Co 7.8
Harwood Heights
A newer, sports-leaning pizza-and-burger spot with late-night hours where the strongest play is one signature pizza plus one handheld, not a full sampler. It’s at its best when you treat it like a focused game-night order—pizza as the anchor, then one shareable side.
Must-Try Dishes: Pro Shop Burger, Pepperoni & sausage pizza, French dip chips
Scores:
Value: 7.3 Service: 7.4 Consistency: 7.4 Food Quality: 8.1 Atmosphere: 7 Cultural Relevance: 7.2

Insider tip: Do one pizza for the table, then one side—stop there.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking along the surrounding blocks; usually manageable late at night but can tighten during peak game hours.
Dress code: Casual and sporty — jeans, sneakers, team gear all fit right in.
Noise level: Loud during games — TVs and crowd energy dominate, conversation takes a back seat.
Weekend wait: 30–45 minutes after 9:30pm on busy game nights
Weekday lunch: No wait typically (late-night focused spot)
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — cheese pizzas and customizable veggie toppings are available.
Vegan options: Very limited — possible with heavy customization, not a core strength.
Gluten-free options: Limited — gluten-free crust availability varies; cross-contamination likely.
Best For
Better for: Late-night pizza with a true sports-bar atmosphere and group-friendly pacing.
Consider Alternatives If: You want quiet dining, refined pizza execution, or strong dietary-accommodation menus.
