Jul 27 Homeslice is the Perfect Summer Hangout Spot

This Lincoln Park staple is the perfect summer spot to grab some pizza and cocktails with friends and lounge outside on one of their many patios and picnic tables. The restaurant is lined with logs hauled from Oregon, lending the venue a homey, log cabin-like feel (hence the name!). If you're lucky, Gary the French bulldog might stop by for a visit!

Homeslice specializes in thin crust pizza, with thirty different kinds of pies to pick from and plenty of veggie friendly options for non-meat eaters. The menu also boasts a fairly extensive list of calzones, salads and shareable starters, if pizza isn't really your thing (hey, to each their own).

Homeslice is a great place to grab drinks. Beers come in campy coolers if you order enough at once and cocktails arrive in kitschy vessels like gummy bear-shaped jars or plastic pineapples. The cocktail list is constantly changing to reflect seasonal preferences–when I was last there I enjoyed a refreshing vodka lemonade with cucumber. The joint also doubles as a brunch spot, so if you can make it all the way to Lincoln Park in time, you can sip on mimosas and enjoy breakfast burritos under Homeslice's leafy patio.
