As loved as it was, still feel like it was slept on. Really like the vibe in there too. Bummer with the family disputes.

Sad to hear, they had a great tavern style pizza that will be dearly missed. Anyone have recommendations for alternative places to get a tavern style slice?
Just tried to go now and there’s a sign on the door saying “Closed permanently. No staff” 😭
Oh man the “every meat we have” pizza there was pure crack. RIP greasy prince
I grew up in Bucktown in the 80’s and Johns was the first phone number I memorized… 384-1755. We would order a special. I can still taste the canned mushrooms. Their veal parmigiana was something else!
Obbies pizza
RhR moved they were doomed
Glad I got to try it last month for the first time thanks to this sub
Goodbye sweet prince, I may not have been often but you were a good place
They were my to go to Pizza place for the last decade. They will be severely missed.
I can’t count how many times I’ve been over the decades. Breaks my heart.
