Windy City Pie, maker of oft-praised Chicago-style deep dish pizza with a crispy cheese edge, is now filling to-go orders at its forthcoming Phinney Ridge restaurant. The full-sized, all-ages restaurant is expected to open later this month. For now, diners can place orders for pick up on the pizzeria’s website, or request delivery via Caviar. Pizza will be available starting 4 p.m. daily until ingredients run out.

Come get some pizza from us, or get Caviar to deliver it to you. Starting 1/14 from 4pm until we run out daily. YOU MUST ORDER AHEAD ON OUR WEBSITE. TO GO ORDERS ONLY AT THIS TIME. We're operational, 2015 style. Not ready for dine-in yet, but we can make pizza and we've heard the demand from you all, so use our website and let's get you fed like we did back in the day (on the street corner!).

Windy City Pie moved out of its cramped walk-up counter inside Interbay’s Batch 206 Distillery’s Batch Bar on December 31. It’s been replaced by Oaky’s Tex Mex, from the owners of Wood Shop BBQ.

The pizzeria is taking over the former home of Phinney Market Pub and Eatery, which closed in July at 5918 Phinney Ave. N. Unlike Batch Bar, this will be an all-ages place, with a full bar paying homage to Chicago and seating for 63, plus another dozen at tables on the front sidewalk. Owner Dave Lichterman is planning to install booths, for that classic pizzeria feel, and drastically improve the flow of the kitchen for his staff.
