Beth Moon: Great brick-oven style pizza and calzones, good Caesar salads, friendly staff and a fully-stocked bar. Good craft beers on tap. Check out the sports lounge upstairs.
Time Out Chicago Kids: The pies are neither thin nor thick, and they are neither distinguishably crisp nor noticeably soft. But if you’re here to eat something of note, try the surprisingly spectacular mini calzones. Read more.
Shafiq Shariff: The calzones are amazing! We had the mushroom and green pepper calzone. A little ricotta goes a long way.
Miljan Vukovic: Calzones are warm, fresh, and taste awesome. Smoked ham and avocado one's my calzone of choice. Space inside is awesome as well.
Emily Jurlina: Pizzas come in small, medium and large sizes so you can definitely get your own if you want. Calzones weren't saucy enough for me.
Ashley Kasper: Breakfast Calzone 😳

Mike Winston: Hungover? Get the Fast & the Flammkuchen pizza which comes topped with bacon, smoked mozz, caramelized onions, & "Indiana Creme Fraiche" aka RANCH DRESSING. It'll fix you right up. WinstonWanders.com

Italian Restaurant · West Loop · 11 tips and reviews
Brent Sordyl: Order the special calzone, on any given day its the best thing on the menu and its fast.
charleen: half mixed greens & Cajun chicken salad, great bkfst options, solid loop choice for the $ you pay.
Erik Rowley: Nothing spectacular, convenient for a quick Italian meal during lunch hour. Go with the daily chef's special, great value.
MR Rice: Margarita Pizza was very good! Had a calzone also, the mix of ricotta and mozzarella was buttery and delicious.
Matt Tomasko: Pizza here was good. But for the best Neapolitan pizza in Chicago, I still prefer Pizzeria da Nella on Fullerton. I would come back for the burrata and the Nutella dessert, though!
Eater: The thin crust pies can be ordered with traditional red sauce or topped with olive oil, and the quality ingredients like prosciutto, Italian sausage, spicy salami and arugula pay tribute to Italy. Read more.
