The dough is delicious as well, tall but light and fluffy with a crispy edge to it. Would definitely get pizza there again. The beer menu is great, plenty of different styles and appreciate the access to the entire storefront. In fact, when I ordered the beer I wanted, they were out of it, so the guy just hopped into the storefront and go the next closest thing (another belgian quad that I know well). Will definitely return, had a great time

Started off with a west coast ipa that was excellent. Chased that with a Pilsner that was okay, followed by a cask red ale that was delicious. Tried a taste of the Scratch paw paw and hated it. Glad it was only a taste. Ordered a Caesar salad and a pepperoni & sausage pizza. The salad was outstanding. Big enough for a family of 4 and had a nice assortment of anchovies on top, which sucked balls, but a great salad nonetheless. The pizza is a Detroit style. Well put together with a great red sauce and plenty of cheese, but the sausage, though plentiful, had a twang to it. Service was super friendly and reasonably fast. Glad we gave it a try.

Such cool finds here. Great place to grab bombers and a must visit for any craft beer fan.

Truly enjoy their new space, the bottle shop, always have had solid draft beers, the mostly delicious food in the kitchen (especially the burger!), the service is generally above average, the outdoor space is excellent, they have a cafe with solid breakfast options and the bathrooms are stocked and clean! I strongly recommend going there and enjoying it for all that it is! Why not a 5-star review?! Well... The one star ding is due to not being presented with the total bill with details at checkout, just being presented with the Toast handheld with the gratuity page displaying, so you really do not know what 18%, 20%, 22% etc., is based on or if you want to do something custom. Turns out it's based on the total bill, including tax. Which, I'm sorry, I do not tip on tax, just as I would not be tipping on any fees added to any bill from any business. I firmly believe that tips should be based on total bill BEFORE taxes and fees. I understand that there are those who are on the opposite side of the coin. That's fine, you do you, I do me. Go and have a great time; but, be aware!

I remember trying a summery white wine I liked, and have since gotten a great juicy red bottle. While wine is their main thang, they also have a nice looking selection of gin, whiskey, bourbon and more. They have a bunch of Italian dry good items, as well as charcuterie items like gourmet crackers and local chocolates... plus there's a freezer full of Jeni's ice cream. I haven't had a chance to try their cheeses yet, but will definitely come back for that! Overall love the product offering and the knowledgeable staff, so will be picking up wine from here from now on.

The music playing was obnoxious, like someone vomiting into a trumpet. I guess World Wide Liquor and Food doesn't want its customers to stay for long! The selection of beer was decent, but didn't have anything to set it apart. The guy behind the counter mumbled horribly. I still have no idea what he said, but it ended with "ID," so I showed him my license. He seemed appeased. I never want to go back to World Wide, as a 3-minute visit made my hair smell for the rest of the day. However, I do give one extra star because they had Game of Thrones beer when 3 other stores didn't... PROBABLY because nobody wanted to set foot into the place!

If you are open to trying some unusual liquors or wines, its worth a stop. When I stopped by during Xmas on the Square, I tasted some whiskey from Alabama, and bought a couple of bottles.

They also had a bottle of Chateauneuf du Pape from Avril for a mere $26. Cigars are for sale, as well, but I did not investigate closely on my first visit.

I flashed back to college days of long drives to 'wet' counties, shifty looks, side-eyes from the clerks, and brown paper bags filled with Boones Farm and/or Cisco. But, when in Rome and without wine for a party, ya do what ya have to do. Plus, I should have realized that I was in North Center not... non-North Center. There's a reason why folks want to live in this neighborhood -- stuff's nice! At first glance, the spot is your requisite licka sto' -- complete with a selection of brightly colored, HFCS juices. Daddy like. But, after some digging into the wine selection... what's this? First, a selection. As in, choices. Real choices. In classy-looking bottles. Secondly, the wine selection is BROKEN INTO COUNTRIES! You heard me right: this small, neighborhood liquor store has a wine section that's broken into regions. Maybe it was the shock from my lowered expectations, but I was really impressed. I was not at all expecting to make this kind of find. To further sweeten the pot, the wine was priced at licka sto' prices. So, I was able to buy a fairly decent tempranillo that left a nice wad of green in my wallet. Who knew? Even the licka sto's in North Center are nice! Movin' on uuuppp....

I've suggested it to many friends as the best place in Logan Square to get natural wines. Typically the people who work here are very helpful. There was a guy who no longer seems to be around who was especially welcoming and knowledgeable in the past. My most recent visit was astounding, in a bad way. I was "helped" by an extremely condescending and belittling woman while trying to buy 8-10 bottles of wine for a large family dinner. Perhaps it's easy to forget that some people don't know everything about wine when you're surrounded by it all day, I'm not sure how else anybody could justify acting the way she did. Every question I asked was met with a response that almost seemed mocking. I could barely believe the way she was speaking to me until my partner commented how incredibly unkind she seemed. I'm leaving two stars because the wines are really good, and I've never encountered this person before, so perhaps it was a fluke. But I'll never shop here again, because I won't be able to forgot how awful she made me feel. And not only that, but because I had suggested the shop to others. I just hope none of them have to deal with the wrath of this abusive natural wine step mom. I go out of my way to shop at speciality curated stores, especially when they're good at what they do and I'm made to feel welcome. And how good they are would almost deserve another star, but employing a bully like her in 2021 is disappointing. I almost feel melodramatic because of how let down I feel. Sad I guess, but I'm sure I'll find a place with similar wines nearby.
