The 23 Best New Restaurants In Chicago - Chicago - The Infatuation

"Some ideas are guaranteed to be a hit, whether they’re good or not. This fact has kept Michael Bay rich for decades. Zarella, a pizza-focused Italian spot in River North from the team behind Alla Vita, is one of these ideas. The menu: uncomplicated. The neighborhood: busy. The booths: big. But we’re delighted to report that this spot is, indeed, good. There are dueling pizza styles, tavern and “artisan” (thin but with a puffy edge), and both have tangy crusts with admirable structural integrity.  Zarella’s winning formula of pizza + giant bar + upbeat pop music equals an easy, reasonably affordable, low-stakes place. Come here the next time you need to get a random assortment of people together." - adrian kane, john ringor, nick allen, adrian kane, nick allen, nick allen, john ringor, john ringor, nick allen, john ringor, nick allen, nick allen, nick allen, john ringor, john ringor, john ringor, john ringor, john ringor, adrian kane, john ringor, john ringor, john ringor, john ringor, john ringor, john ringor, john ringor
