You can’t go wrong with a pizza and wine combo, but you can go wrong with the restaurant. Tip: Stay away from rowdy sports bars on your first date! We are very particular when choosing date spots, therefore, this list is short and sweet.
HOMESLICE | LINCOLN PARK
Homeslice gets an overall grade of an A+ for atmosphere, food, and drinks. The rustic decor makes you feel like you’re in a log cabin nestled in a ski resort. The outdoor back patio has bright Italian lights, heat lamps, cozy patio seating, and a gutted silver bullet trailer available for seating. They have the best gluten-free pizza I’ve personally ever had. Plus, they serve their Moscow Mule just right and necessarily out of a copper mug (which you can buy for $10).

QUARTINO PIZZERIA & WINE BAR | NEAR NORTHSIDE
Quartino is a great spot for grabbing a Neapolitan thin-crust pizza and a carafe of wine for two. This bustling downtown venue serves authentic regional Italian food and an atmosphere perfect for a date night.
