Roasted Chicken and Kimchi pizza feels like, yes, something you can get in the West Loop, but I'm gonna say that Bobs pizza does it better than any comparisons I've had. But the Pickle Pizza?? Sounds terrible and might be a winner.
Bob Pizza first location is in Pilsen, and also has spots in Old Town and Evanston. But this "permanent pop up" inside of Recess in the West Loop is brand new as of late Aug 2020.
Recess is a huge patio bar with TVs, live music and west loop vibe, and it's bordered by shipping containers. Trendy. But if you're sitting inside, you can order Bobs pizza straight off the menu with a server. It's a separate menu and kitchen but they integrated it into the ordering system. But you'll also be able to grab pickup from an outside window without going inside Recess.
We talked with the co-owner Matt and he hooked us up with a half and half pickle pizza and Roasted chicken and kimchi (the half and half is not on the menu and I don't know if they can do this normally-thanks Matt!). The pickle sounded horrible and but was literally the best. Crunchy, salty... I dunno. You want this.
But I'd have trouble deciding in the future. The kimchi had complex taste but was not spicy (I could have had more heat tbh).
Just Bobs being here means I may be back.
