Pizza Matta

Lou Malnati’s Logan Square, Giant’s New Pizzeria, and Professor Pizza Debut New Restaurants | Eater Chicago

"Built from Jason Vincent’s pandemic pivots and cooking evolution, Pizza Matta grows out of the Giant team’s pizza experiments (the staff served square, Detroit-like slices from a food truck starting in October 2020). Vincent — who opened Giant in 2016 and earned a James Beard Foundation nomination — said Matta will serve 14-inch round pies that fuse many styles and will feature recipes from chef de cuisine Mike Gaia; the menu also includes salads made with produce from Werp Farms and even leans on the tongue-in-cheek premise that “Salad cancels out pizza… it’s science.” (status: opening Friday, April 14)." - Ashok Selvam
