Feral Pizza

Pizza Takeout · North Loop

"The dough at Feral Pizza ferments for nearly two days, and we assume it spends that time pondering the true nature of life, love, and what it means to be a crust. The end result is a crispy, chewy, and distinctly sour base that pairs especially well with tomatoes, cheese, and meat. This speciality at this tiny trailer in North Loop is New York-style pies, with an ultra-thin layer of sauce that provides sweet, tangy flavor without overpowering the crust. You’ll also find thicker grandma-style pizzas, a weekly Sicilian special, and a rotating dessert. The whole operation takes place behind a convenience store—it’s mostly a takeout spot with a few picnic tables. As a result, pies can take a while. Order ahead online or cozy up at a bar nearby while you wait around for a text like you’re back in high school again. If the dough can hang out that long, you can wait an hour without going feral. Food Rundown photo credit: Richard Casteel New York-Style Pizza Feral Pizza’s New York pies are the menu's focal point, and rightly so. The crispy base is topped with a thin layer of cheese and whatever else you want. We like the Ankle Biter with pepperoni and jalapeño. photo credit: Richard Casteel Grandma-Style Pizza The grandma-style pies come out rectangular, at a density level somewhere between a classic pizza and a slice of focaccia. The base is crunchy, but there’s a satisfying thickness to each bite. These are great if you like something a little more hearty. photo credit: Richard Casteel Tomato Pie This is basically a pizza without the mozzarella. It’s topped with sweet and tangy tomato sauce, garlic oil, pecorino, and basil. Don’t skip out on a classic pizza to get this, but throw one in if you’re ordering multiple items and want a little variety. photo credit: Richard Casteel Sweets The dessert menu usually includes some kind of brownie, and it’s an absolute must. On the fudgy-to-cakey brownie spectrum, it sits perfectly in the center. We’ve had them filled with Oreos, marshmallows, and peanut butter chips, and we’ve enjoyed every one." - Nicolai McCrary
