Little Lark is a fantastic addition to the Chicago dining scene and a must-visit for anyone who appreciates a welcoming atmosphere. From the moment you walk in, the friendly staff makes you feel right at home, providing attentive and warm service that truly sets the stage for a great meal. The standout, however, is the excellent pizza. The crust has the perfect balance of chew and crispness, topped with high-quality ingredients that elevate every bite. Whether you’re stopping by for a casual weeknight dinner or a weekend treat, the combination of great vibes and top-tier food makes it a local gem. I can’t recommend it enough!

“A total hidden gem inside guild hall.”

A total hidden gem inside guild hall. neo Neapolitan pizzas in a special wood fired oven, killed winter cocktails and appetizers to blow you away. Loved the fungi pizza, winter berries cocktail, chocolate pot de creme for dessert. Their salumi platter was wow!! Loved the vibes and service !

“Little Lark was an absolute win for a fun Saturday night dinner under $100.”

Little Lark was an absolute win for a fun Saturday night dinner under $100. We started with the broccoli salad, which was fresh and full of texture. The broccolini was perfectly charred and tossed with crisp fennel, red onion, and a shower of Pecorino that added the perfect salty bite. Every forkful was bright, earthy, and balanced. The pepperoni pizza was phenomenal. The crust was blistered and chewy with that wood-fired aroma that makes your mouth water before the first bite. The pepperoni had crispy edges and a smoky, spicy kick, and dipping each slice into the creamy, herb-packed green goddess sauce took it to another level. The drinks were just as impressive. The spicy peach spritz was refreshing with a subtle kick that built with every sip, and the limoncello margarita was bright, citrusy, and perfectly balanced — one of the best margaritas I’ve had in a long time. Colleen really took care of us. She was warm, attentive, and checked in at exactly the right times. Her drinks were perfect, and she built a genuine rapport that made the whole experience even more enjoyable. We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. Everything tasted incredible from the first bite to the last sip. Highly recommend Little Lark for anyone who loves great pizza, fresh ingredients, and thoughtful service.

“The service was excellent!”

The service was excellent!! Starting with host. We thought we didn't have a reservation and she did her best to squeeze us in for an early dinner. We later realized that we had made reservations. The servers were great. Answered our questions and went above and beyond. The Chef came out greet us and ask how everything was. Now the food...yum...we had olives, I thought I was in Italy, the burrata melts in your mouth. We had honeynut squash with pepitas and anchovies..to start and I think i would have them all again. As for the pizzas..we tried the butternut squash, sausage, pepperoni, and funghi pizza. I had all but the funghi, I forgot to taste but it was a hit, as were all the pizzas. Can't wait to go back. They have a nice big, beautiful patio where they make pizzas as well. Almost forgot, we had the Autumn Spice Panna Cotta and the Chocolate Pot de Créme, and both were so yummy and not too sweet, just the perfect amount of sweetness.

“I was excited about this opening but it was quite honestly the most disappointing place I’ve tried in a while.”

I was excited about this opening but it was quite honestly the most disappointing place I’ve tried in a while. My friend and I ordered a pizza and a sandwich to share. The sandwich came out first, and it was unpalatable; the “focaccia” was dry and not freshly toasted, the ingredients were skimped on, and there lacked balance to the flavors. The pizza took ages to come out (the restaurant wasn’t busy) and it was overdone and very dry and didn’t taste like much of anything - the ingredients listed didn’t translate into the flavor and it was terribly small for $26. It could be that they’re still figuring things out but I wouldn’t visit again.
