Floriole Cafe & Bakery’s weekly pizza dinners helmed by chef Rachel Post also have a devoted following. Her pizzas are known for their delectably crispy crusts and farm-fresh toppings. Soon you’ll be able to acquire her pizza more regularly as she’s opening a pizza restaurant dubbed Our House. Dining Chicago reports she doesn’t have a location yet but she’s looking at Avondale, West Ukrainian Village and Humboldt Park.
