Cheesy, Noodley Slice of Heaven

We know Chicago (thinks) it has the pizza scene covered, but we’re ecstatic to report that one of the most off-the-wall, innovative, unusually delicious New York style pizza joints is expanding to our fair city. Ian’s Pizza, native to Madison, WI and home of the most salacious slices in the Central Time Zone, plans to open a third location in Wrigleyville early this summer.

Ian’s has lots more to offer than your average slice of pepperoni - it’s your favorite meal in pie form. Menu choices include such yummy selections as Spicy Chicken Taco, BBQ Steak and Fries, and Spinach Mashed Potato. We’re excited to try Ian’s BBFAT, a.k.a. Black Bean Feta Avocado Tomato, which is a seasonal slice we’re hoping peaks soon. Ian’s best seller, with good reason, is the Mac n’ Cheese pizza. So good we hear it's become a Halloween costume.

In Madison the most popular time at Ian’s is 2:00 a.m., but we recommend checking it out while you’re still sober. You’ll want to remember every glorious bite.

Ian’s will be located 3463 N. Clark. They’re shooting for a June 1st opening.
