Fulton Market has another answer to the question of where to meet for pizza. Pizzeria Gabbo opened October 22 at 834 W. Fulton Market, Suite 200, bringing two approaches to thin-crust pizza into the same restaurant.

The new Lettuce Entertain You project is built around Chicago Thin & Crispy and New York Crispy. For a neighborhood where a dinner invitation can turn into a lengthy group discussion, the premise is appealingly direct: choose a style, order something to share and let the conversation move beyond the reservation.

Squares or triangles?

The restaurant group’s opening announcement describes square-cut Chicago pies and a lighter New York-inspired option cut into triangles. Chef partner Andrew Ashmore and executive partner Marc Jacobs developed the concept. The announced menu includes sausage-and-giardiniera combinations, a tomato pie and a potato, lemon and rosemary pizza.

This is not a claim that one style settles Chicago’s pizza arguments. It is a new venue for having them. If you are ordering for several people, ask about sizes and pacing so the table gets the comparison it wants without ordering more than it needs.

There is more than pizza

The official restaurant site also lists antipasti, salads, pasta and soft-serve gelato. That makes Gabbo worth considering for a mixed group, including someone who wants an Italian meal without ordering a whole pie. Check the current menu for availability and prices rather than relying on an opening-day description.

Ashmore oversees several Lettuce restaurants, including Beatrix, and the new spot sits in a dining district already familiar to many of those customers. The practical test for neighbors will be whether Gabbo becomes an easy repeat visit as well as an opening-week curiosity.

A smaller room in a busy district

Chicago Star’s opening coverage highlights the combination of pizza, Italian-inspired drinks and a neighborhood bar. The operator describes a 60-seat room with wood finishes, booths and a view into the pizza-making area. Those details suggest a different experience from grabbing a quick slice at a counter.

Before visiting, use the restaurant’s own reservation link and check the current hours. Its website lists lunch from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily, dinner until 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and until 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. New restaurants sometimes adjust service as they settle in.

Our advice: make the first visit simple. Choose the pizza style you most want to try, leave room for an accompaniment and decide afterward whether it belongs in your regular rotation. This article reports an opening; it does not claim a firsthand tasting.

Join the conversation: Are you ordering Chicago squares, New York-inspired triangles or one of each? What makes a pizza place a neighborhood regular for you?
