Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking in Fulton Market can be limited, especially evenings and weekends. Paid garages are available within a few blocks.
Dress code: Very casual — come as you are (jeans, hoodies, and sneakers are totally fine).
Noise level: Moderate — it’s a counter-service spot, so expect chatter and some music, but you can still hold a conversation.
Weekend wait: 10–25 minutes depending on the rush, mostly for counter lines rather than seating.
Weekday lunch: Usually minimal wait, though popular trays may sell out and be replenished.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — often several rotating veggie-topped pizzas like potato, margherita, and seasonal options.
Vegan options: Occasionally — some veggie slices may be dairy-free, but options vary by day.
Gluten-free options: No dedicated gluten-free crust or prep area.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes if you want something casual and low-pressure — it’s order-at-the-counter and relaxed, so it works better for a fun, unfussy date than a formal one.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes — they don’t take reservations. Seating is limited and more grab-and-go focused, so be prepared to perch or take your pizza to-go during peak times.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes — it’s informal, quick, and great for picky eaters since you can order slices by type. No special kids’ menu, but families are common during the day.
Best For
Better for: Creative Roman-style slices with ultra-light airy crusts and rotating toppings — perfect when you want variety and high-quality pizza without a full sit-down meal.
Skip if: You’re looking for traditional Chicago deep dish, table service, or a long, linger-friendly dinner environment.
