Two styles of Chicago pizza

The menu will focus on Chicago Thin & Crispy pizza and New York Crispy pizza, the kitchen’s crunchier take on a traditional New York-style pie. More than 10 pizzas will be offered, including Chicago-style Fennel Sausage & Giardiniera, Chicago Supreme, New York-style Tomato Pie, and Golden Potato, Lemon & Rosemary.

According to the announcement, the dough will use premium organic flour and a long fermentation process. The New York-style dough combines three flours and rests for about 48 hours before baking. A gluten-free crust will also be available.

“We’re thrilled for Pizzeria Gabbo to be a new meeting spot for the neighborhood,” Jacobs said in the press release. “Pizza holds a special place in Chicago’s history, and we’re excited to share our take on both Chicago and New York-style.”

Beyond pizza, diners will find antipasti, salads, and housemade pasta. Offerings include Pepperoni Chips with marinara, Butternut Squash Croccanti with Calabrian chili aioli and giardiniera, A Light Lemon Fettuccine Alfredo, and Slow-Cooked Chicken Bolognese Rigatoni.
