Seems mixologist J. Spillane (ex-Matchbox) has mad kitchen skills to boot – he and partner Bill Carroll (ex-Jub Jub Club) are getting rave reviews for their coal-fired East Coast-style pizza at their West Town spot (both owners are from Massachusetts). The 'za here has a foldable, crispy, slightly charred crust –about the exact opposite of Chicago's own gut-busting deep-dish. Signature pies include the pesto, with ricotta, pesto, black olives and olive oil, or build-your-own with topping choices like Calabrese hot salami, hot fennel salami or sweet Italian sausage.
