"Roots is a family-friendly pizza spot in Lincoln Square. They serve Quad Cities-style pies, which means the pizza here is cut into rectangles, and on most pies, the toppings are under the cheese. There’s a lengthy menu with a decent selection of salads and a rotating list of pizzas designed by local chefs, and also a separate kids’ menu, with things like housemade spaghetti, a hot dog, and mini corn dogs. A huge bar area, the large patio outside, and interesting specialty pies make it a good place to go with or without children." - adrian kane
