A Local Hut of Pizza With New York Slices Hopes to Outduel the Competition | Eater Chicago

"An adjoining full-service restaurant and bar that channels a chaotic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles aesthetic, the venue opens with a 50-seat bar featuring a gallery wall of spray‑painted Renaissance reproductions and a sunny atrium seating another 50 that evokes an overgrown Roman statuary garden splashed with graffiti. A neon-lit game room plays up a sewer-lair motif with slimy green details and more than a dozen games (darts, shuffleboard, arcade machines) plus TVs hooked to multi-game consoles rotating hits like Super Smash Bros. The spot includes a patio built for pop-ups (kicking off with a Portofino-themed Aperol spritz and salumi event), operates family-friendly by day and shifts to a 21+ nightlife environment after 9 p.m., and is positioned as a project to inject new energy into the Lincoln Park neighborhood." - Naomi Waxman

Since the theme changes every few months, this review will focus on the current Jurassic Park World in the Summer of 2025. All the TV’s were playing different JP movies. Great looking dinosaurs and other displays abound. Speciality cocktails and pizzas (some by the slice, all from adjoining Slice Hut) have cute names (Stego Sausage, The Laura Dern). Drinks run sweet but or very friendly and helpful bartender customized mine and even offered to continue tweaking it after I tasted it. Pizza is mainly NY style with a couple Sicilian options. Most available by the slice which is 1/6 of an 18” pie. A bit pricey but sauce and toppings are good quality. There’s a game room with some free and some pay video games. Large patio. Sunday late afternoon is family overload so be forewarned. All in all, will keep up with the themes and go again.

I brought my entire family to this restaurant because I absolutely loved the theme. We were a big group who should have made reservations but I forgot 😭😭 they made accommodations as quickly as they could. It was my daughter’s fifth birthday, and they really made us feel welcomed and special. Loved the wings and drinks and absolutely love the creativity of the menu. The games had all the parents stuck.

Pretty cool spot, we really enjoyed our visit. The arcades were a nice surprise. The wings are so good the pizza was okay and they carry 3 Floyd’s brewery gumballhead. Can’t wait to visit again.

We visited during the week with our girls who LOVE Jurassic Park. Unfortunately, the service was lacking and both the host and waiter seemed annoyed we were there even though the restaurant was half empty and we had a reservation. We wandered around ourselves looking for the photo ops, and when we got our food the only hot thing was the pizza which was actually really good. Skip the Caesar wrap and appetizers. Go for the pizza.

We visited the Harry Potter pop-up at Neon Gardens, and it was such a fun experience for everyone! The decor was magical, and there were so many great photo opportunities. We tried some of the themed food, and while it was good, it took a long time to come out—and unfortunately, it was cold when it arrived. That was the only downside to an otherwise great night. The butterbeer was a highlight, and the atmosphere is perfect for Harry Potter fans of all ages. Definitely worth checking out!

The Jurassic Park experience is awesome. There is so much detail, I can’t believe it is only temporary. The food is good. It’s very bar-food and casual dining. My one complaint was the service. Everything took 15 minutes…15 minutes to get water…15 minutes to order food, etc. I was there for almost two hours with a 6 and 4 year old. Not ideal, but the decor made it worth the wait.

Love the atmosphere! We visited during the Jurassic Park theme and had a blast. They also had trivia which we didn’t know about but had a lot of fun with! Pizza was delicious (had the Buffalo chicken).

I absolutely love the idea of this place. A rotating theme thats kid friendly with free arcade games in a room separate from the dining area. But the execution of being a restaurant fails. We read reviews of bad service before going and thought "hey maybe those are just picky people". We're pretty patient and understand people get busy, but no.. the service was terrible. Server was not very attentive, wasnt overly busy, slow to put in food, slow to bring food, overall not good. Food was nothing great. Not terrible, but nothing to brag about. Jurassic theme was pretty cool though. Good photo opportunities for the kids.
