Pizza Lobo

"Pizza Lobo’s original Logan Square location is great for the following reasons: they have good pizza-by-the-slice, pitchers of beer, and a large outdoor patio that’s perfect for the two weeks in the year that Chicago isn't a frozen wasteland. And their Andersonville location is the same—down to the rectangular dining room with a large retro bar, colorful glass light fixtures, and two disco balls that might inspire you to use the word "groovy." The best slice is the Borgata with calabrian chile honey and pepperoni, but if you come with enough people, order one of their pizzas that are only available as whole pies, like the Coal Miner with vodka sauce, pancetta, and smoked provolone. Plus, they're open until midnight, so it's great for a late-night snack if you live nearby." - John Ringor

"We like Pizza Lobo in Logan Square for the following reasons: They have good pizza-by-the-slice, pitchers of beer, and a large outdoor patio that’s perfect during the two weeks of nice weather Chicagoans can count on every year. And their Andersonville location is no different—down to its rectangular dining room with a large wooden bar, and stained glass light fixtures that make it feel like a basement from the 70s. The best slice is the Borgata with calabrian chile honey and pepperoni, but if you come with a large group, order one of their pizzas that are only available as whole pies, like the Coal Miner with vodka sauce, pancetta, and smoked provolone. Plus, they’re open until midnight." - sam faye, adrian kane, john ringor

"Pizza Lobo’s original Logan Square location has great pizza-by-the-slice, pitchers of beer, and a large outdoor patio. And their new Andersonville location is the same, including an enormous back patio that has firepits, astroturf, and (probably) a bunch of cute dogs. They serve thin crust (for Chicago at least) pies, and have solid red sauce options like the Borgata (ricotta, basil, and Calabrian chile honey), and white pies. Plus, they're open until midnight.

"Pizza Lobo is known for its pepperoni-covered slices which Syd savors during her tour." - Samantha Nelson

"Pizza Lobo, an expansive indoor-outdoor New York-style pizzeria in Logan Square, opened its second Chicago restaurant on Wednesday, February 1 at 5457 N. Clark Street, according to a rep. The space includes a 3,000-square-foot outdoor patio with fire pits and bocce courts, as well as an enclosed and heated section that seats more than 70." - Naomi Waxman
