A little pricey for the portion size, but definitely a decent pizza.
We stopped in at the farmers market last weekend and finally decided to try one of the wood-fired pizzas at Italy at the Market (owned and operated by the founders of the adjacent Mexico at the Market stand at the farmers market).
We ordered a small (and by small, I do mean the size is pretty damn small) Loaded Vegetarian pizza with artichokes, roasted garlic and fresh mozzarella. We waited approximately ten minutes for our order to be ready.
The toppings were quite good, flavorful and fresh, but with a very thin crust. I'm not traditionally a huge fan of super thin crust pizza, but this one was okay, though the toppings kept slipping off occasionally, making for a rather messy pizza-eating experience! Still, the pizza was cooked thoroughly, but it was a bit messy and if you're solely into Chicago deep dish or thicker crust pizza, you might not love this one. Nonetheless, for a veggie pizza, the toppings were great. Personally, I think a thicker pizza crust would hold the heavier veggie toppings, like artichoke hearts, a bit better.
The prices seemed a bit steep for the portion size, but when I noticed there was kiosk with a serious, legit pizza oven at the farmers market, I had to try it. Just remember, the slices are individually pretty small, so if you have a kid or two or you want more than a quick bite, you better order a bigger size or else you'll leave hungry. I was only interested in a quick lunch to satiate me until I got home in an hour, so the small size cut it for my husband and myself that day. If we were hungrier, it wouldn't.
On Tuesdays, they run a $2 pizza slice special, otherwise individual slices are sold at $4 apiece. Our small vegetarian pizza was $8.99. Extra toppings are $1.25 apiece. Other than pizza, they have a variety of salads and bread sticks, but we didn't notice any fresh pasta dishes.
Overall, 3.8 stars. I'd definitely give their pizza another shot when I'm craving a nice slice of pizza downtown. read more
