Yeah, I heard last week that he wanted to go to law school.

Also, the front house person everyone keeps talking about is his sister.


Oof.

Never get in business with family.

Especially family members whom allegedly look like they have substance abuse issues.

Was she the kind of cute one that looked like she would be a little wild.

They were all kind of hipsters anyways.

Just ordered 3 pizzas for happy hour. $26

1 hour and 45 minute wait. Looks like I’m not the only one eating pizza tonight.

Manny is probably in his mid 30's. He majored in Criminal Justice at Northwestern which is the career he always wanted to pursue. Being a chef was the easy decision since he grew up in the family kitchen/restaurant watching his dad cook. Dude is an amazing chef as I'm sure fatigue set in and perhaps he no longer had the passion to continue in this industry. He's young enough to pursue his dream and within 3-5 years, he can look back and decide if he made the right choice. IMO, Manny is talented enough that he can always get a job cooking anywhere in the US. Wish him the best as I'm gonna miss his pizza

The pizzas were fantastic. Really gonna miss this place. Would be better suited downtown. I really hate the building they are in.

Great food, terrible service. Seemed like everyone was way too stoned up front to actually run a business. Manny and his sister seem super cool though

We're picking up at 5:30. Hour and a half wait for pickup.

...... So we're picking up our pizza and their phone is ringing off the hook. To Go pizzas are now a 3hr wait.

Do they do the happy hour on Saturdays? I just checked their Facebook page and they aren’t open until 3 today. Said they were out of food

I could definitively go for a Juicy Lucy before they close

Just saw that. Too bad he can't just sell the business. I hate having to go downtown for Central.

He probably wants to keep his recipes in case he wants to reopen.

Why not just hire a manager and keep it open?
