First off, the originality of this place is truly inspiring. Instead of copying existing fads and successes (*cough cough* Cold Beer and Cheeseburgers) they've generated their OWN ORIGINAL IDEA. This place is working towards making the next big thing!!!
The menu is one of a kind.. I mean this place has alligator pizza! There's nothing like it. As for myself, this place had a variety of vegetarian options which was a HUGE PLUS. Ordered the hummus and the Death Valley pizza. The hummus was home-made and the veggies were fresh! The pizza wasn't a typical Chicago style pizza as I was expecting. It was lighter on the sauce and cheese all on a homemade crust. It served its name. It was hot just like Death Valley. I loved it, but if that's not for you they also have a build your own pizza option to make your pizza dreams come true. This place has many menu options and can make mods to fit your needs.
In addition to the incredible food, there were a million "little things" that made me smile. The restaurant is whimsically decorated with bicycles, hand calligraphed signs, CAMPING TRAILERS, boats on the ceilings, and outdoorsy furniture. There's a small camper near the front of the restaurant where the hostesses will welcome you. One of the workers was wearing acid wash jean shorts which was pretty awesome. Another was wearing timberland boots with a flannel. The entire atmosphere puts you at ease and l promise that it will do an unexpectedly good job of lifting your mood, as it did mine.
