Tucked into a Traction Avenue space in the Arts District, Mongiello’s runs on New York–leaning pies and straightforward wings that travel well for takeout or pair nicely with nearby taprooms. It’s more casual neighborhood joint than destination, but a dependable option when you want classic wings plus pizza under one roof.

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking on Traction Ave and adjacent blocks; can be tight during peak Arts District evenings. Metered spots open up later at night; no valet.
Dress code: Completely casual — jeans, tees, and brewery-adjacent attire fit right in.
Noise level: Low to moderate; mostly takeout traffic and small groups, so conversation is easy.
Weekend wait: 10–20 minutes depending on pizza/wing order volume; takeout may run slightly longer.
Weekday lunch: Usually no wait; fast pickup times.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — cheese pizza, veggie pies, fries, and a few sides work for vegetarians.
Vegan options: Limited — no dedicated vegan wings; vegan diners will rely on sides or plain pies without cheese depending on preferences.
Gluten-free options: No formal gluten-free program; pizzas and wings share prep areas. Not recommended for strict gluten-free diners.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better for casual hangs than a first date — it’s a simple, pizza-and-wings joint with more takeout energy than atmosphere.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes — they operate counter-service with open seating; just walk in or grab takeout. Peak evenings may have limited tables.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes — simple menu, quick service, and low-key vibes work well for kids, though seating is limited and best for older children who don’t need high chairs.
Best For
Better for: Classic, fuss-free wings-and-pizza combos that travel well, plus convenient proximity to local breweries.
Skip if: You want specialty sauces, upscale seating, or chef-driven wings — other Arts District options offer more ambitious menus.
