Pizzeria & Italian Restaurant in Chicago, IL

This listing presents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a fully built-out and functioning Pizzeria & Italian Restaurant located in the highly desirable Bucktown/Wicker Park neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. The business is an asset sale, meaning all furniture, fixtures, and the build-out are included, offering significant savings on upfront costs and build-out time. Currently specializing in wood-fired pizzas, house-made pastas, and regional Italian specialties, the establishment features a full-service restaurant with a full bar, catering to dine-in, carryout, pickup, and third-party delivery services, with online ordering also available. The interior boasts high-end finishes, exposed ductwork, vintage brick walls, modern furniture, and a cozy ambiance, complemented by a fenced-in sidewalk patio. A key feature is the open kitchen with a Marra Forni commercial Italian rotating brick pizza oven and 12 beers on tap at the bar. The basement houses a fully-equipped prep kitchen. Being an independent establishment, there are no royalty, advertising, or transfer fees. The prime corner retail space benefits from high vehicle and foot traffic, proximity to public transportation, and is surrounded by a vibrant retail and dining scene. The lease is for 1,900 sq ft plus basement space, with a monthly rent of $7,500 gross, expiring in February 2029 with renewal options. The business operates with 7 employees and is absentee-owned.

The owner is selling due to 'Other interests'.
