WE ARE NOW OPEN FOR DINE-IN BUSINESS. WELCOME BACK
This year marks the 50th-year anniversary of the one and only Chicago Pizza & Oven Grinder Co. Since opening their doors in 1972, CPOG has been serving its unique style of pizza, the Pizza Pot Pie- an original- baked in a bowl filled with cheese; homemade sauce from scratch (each batch takes 10 hours of prep and cooking time); large fresh mushrooms and topped with a triple raised Sicilian bread-type dough; then inverted ceremoniously at your table. Six mouth-watering gargantuan Oven Grinders, several colossal salads with distinctive, original homemade dressings and the Mediterranean Bread round out its menu.
In the heart of Lincoln Park in Chicago, this cozy restaurant is housed in a historical building. Set across the street from the site of the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre, this three story brownstone is claimed to have been used as a look out for Al Capone’s gang during the legendary hit back in 1929.

Mesa Urbana Bistro is a Mexican Fusion Restaurant & Bar. Gourmet dishes features Seafood, Steak, Global Cuisine, along with handcrafted fresh squeezed juice cocktails. Our bustling ambiance, handcrafted cocktails, colorful decor are in keeping with Chicago’s finest dining spots. Nestled on a street in Chicago’s beautiful Lincoln Park, Mesa Urbana is a true neighborhood restaurant—though we believe neighborhood is more about sentiment than a specific part of town. We believe value is in the experience, which stems not only from our elevated food & beverage program, but also from our team and the positive, forward-thinking culture we are building together.

Next, you’ll cook your choices of Australian lobster tail, Gulf shrimp, beef tenderloin, fresh sea scallops or boneless chicken breast in a pot of sizzling soybean oil or broth. The main course is served with fresh vegetables and eight gourmet dipping sauces.
Our famous chocolate fondue is flamed table-side, and presented with marshmallows for roasting and other delectable dippers.

Step back in time to Gatsby's West Egg mansion where thousands of books fill the library bookcases and early 19th and 20th century oil paintings adorn the walls. Dimly lit by candles and chandeliers, you will forget which century you are in as you indulge in bespoke cocktails created by our master bartenders, who share their expertise as your waiter as well. Gorgeous and generous charcuterie, smoked fish, and cheese boards second to none, and meant to be shared, as well as various other small plates can be ordered as you enjoy your Gatsby inspired cocktails, wine or draught beer. Truly a romantic setting, The Gatsby is the perfect date spot like no other. Here you will not find a single television, but you will find classic jazz, big band, crooners, and electro swing music. The entrance is on the second floor above the Bourgeois Pig, and to gain entrance you must solve a simple riddle, and provide the password when asked. Enter through a hidden bookcase door and prepare to be amazed.

Welcome to La Crosta Woodfire Pizzeria Italiana. Here we share our vision of authentic Italian traditional pizza, which dates back to the Greco-Roman period and starts with fresh, high quality ingredients. Many of them are flown in from Italy, including our tomatoes, flour and burrata cheese. Our dough is handmade daily. In fact, La Crosta in Italian means “the crust” and we believe our fluffy crust is the best in the business. In all, I’ve created a comfortable restaurant for you and your friends to spend time together and create new memories.
