"The new West Loop outpost, opened January 16, aims to recreate the New York slice-shop experience in Chicago through a collaboration with local restaurateur David Choi, using the brand’s original recipes and efforts to match New York water pH for authentic dough. Diners can get Sicilian squares, large Neapolitan slices, whole pies, salads, and starters; the Spicy Spring remains the best-known pie, and a Chicago-exclusive ‘Chicago Supreme’ was developed featuring giardiniera, a poppy-seed crust, pepperoni, mushroom, onion, and crumbled sausage to echo local flavors. The location is primarily takeout with only a small standup bar ledge for indoor eating, is expected to draw waits similar to other locations, and operates 11 a.m.–11 p.m. Sunday–Thursday and 11 a.m.–3 a.m. Friday–Saturday." - Adam Rothbarth
