THIS IS THE ONE! I’ve heard the hype around Novel for a while and it’s WELL deserved! The famous Longanisa & Giardiniera is 10/10! 💥 Rumor has it, you HAVE to take it up a notch by adding Ricotta on top but we forgot. 🫣 GUESS I just gotta go back! Takes me 45 minutes to get down to Pilsen but it’s well worth it. I also got half with the Hot Pep and it was phenomenal. The pizza is Tavern style so it has a great thin & crunchy crust with flavorful sauce & ingredients on top. They also sell slices with the usual toppings AND some coffee courtesy of Drip Collective if you need to take some caffeine to go. The place is a little small so during the weekend it’ll be a little hard to get a seat with a larger group.
