Ciao Down

Stopped in here with my beer-drinking friend and our dogs after a short mile long walk along the Loop.It was 1pm and there was no line. My friend and I were seated nextdoor at the Hop Shop with our dogs. I went to Ciao Down and ordered a veggie pizza. The very friendly server then delivered the pizza to our table with two strips of chicken for each of our dogs.The pizza was delicious. The crust had a slightly sweet taste. The sauce was tangy and the cheese and other toppings was just right. It made for a very tasty lunch. I will be back.

After a long day at the nearby PPA tournament, our party of six (3 moms and 3 kids) made our way to Ciao Down...We had worked up an appetite playing and watching pickleball so we were literally ready to chow down!The parking lot was packed but we managed to find parking and luckily the line to order food wasn't too bad when we arrived. The kids ordered their own pizzas and the moms shared a caprese salad, a heatwave pizza, and an order of artichokes. It took awhile to come out, but it was delicious!As others have shared, it's a fast casual restaurant housed in the Metal Arts Village... there is a bottle shop in the building so those that want drinks (wine, cider, beer) can find it there. There is also a mini bookstore on the property and there was a book club meeting happening while we were there. There is plenty of seating indoor and outdoor, and I think upstairs too... some fun vending machines, and more.We enjoyed our meal and had some treats (fresh cookies) on our way out for dessert. I would definitely return to this unique pizza place in the future!

Great pizza, great atmosphere! I absolutely love the creative pizza toppings, especially on the snakebite pizza.

I live these pizzas! Partial to the snakebite, but all are great. Love the expanding variety and inclusion of salads and charcuterie boards. Quick service even while it's very popular!

Amazing food, service and atmosphere! The specialty pizzas are so unique! I love The Snakebite! Definitely worth a try.

Great pizza - delivered to our table next door at The Hop Shop. Love the cooperation!
