Dicey's Pizza Relocates to Lincoln Park
What happened
Dicey’s Pizza, a popular Chicago spot, is moving to Lincoln Park. The relocation is part of a broader shuffle in the North Side's dining scene, which also includes an expansion by Strapoli's.
Why it matters
Dicey's Pizza isn't just moving; it's taking over a space recently vacated by its own sibling restaurant, Parson's Chicken & Fish. The hospitality group Land and Sea Dept. owns both concepts, making this a strategic internal shuffle at 2435 N. Halsted St. The previous Dicey's location in Ukrainian Village at 2109 W. Chicago Avenue, which also replaced a former Parson's, had a short year-long run. Online commentary from patrons suggests the West Town spot was considered "cursed" due to frequent restaurant turnover. The original Dicey's location is in Nashville, and its menu focuses on tavern-style, thin-crust pizza cut into squares, a classic Chicago style. Alongside pizza, the restaurant offers slushy cocktails and natural wines, similar to the beverage program at Parson's. This North Side restaurant shuffle also includes the expansion of Strapoli Pizza, which is opening its second location in Roscoe Village at 2054 W. Roscoe St. Its original location is also in Lincoln Park, on W. Diversey Parkway. Strapoli brings a unique Venezuelan influence to the city's pizza scene, serving Neapolitan-style pies. The owner, Marcial Bereciartu, comes from a family of pizzaiolos with over 40 years of experience running a pizzeria in Merida, Venezuela. The new Roscoe Village location will place Strapoli next to the Maison Pasquale gourmet grocery store and across from the popular Village Tap bar and grill, positioning it as a potential late-night attraction for the neighborhood.
