The iconic and delicious Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder is headed to you on Friday, May 8th!
Chicago might have its deep dish pizza, but there’s another hometown creation that’s just as hearty and delicious, and quite possibly even cheesier: the Pizza Pot Pie. Created in 1972 at Chicago Pizza &amp; Oven Grinder, located just across the street from the location of the infamous St. Valentine’s Day Massacre, this ooey-gooey masterpiece just might deliver the most legendary cheese pull in all of Chi-town!
This ingenious creation starts with scratchmade triple-raised Sicilian bread dough. It’s filled with rich homemade tomato sauce that’s slow-simmered with olive oil, fresh garlic, onions, green peppers, and whole plum tomatoes. And finally, cheese – and lots of it! Baked upside-down and served right-side-up, it’s a pizza like no other — comforting, indulgent, and uniquely Chicago.
Ordering closes by 12pm on Thursday, or when we sell out.
Your order will be available for home delivery between 2:30-6:00pm.View menu + order: <a href="https://dwell.social/3QELb95" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://dwell.social/3QELb95</a>

Metropolis Ballroom

If Mother’s Day planning usually ends with a crowded restaurant, a long wait, and a rushed meal… it might be time to try something better this year.
On Sunday, May 10, Metropolis Ballroom of Arlington Heights is hosting its annual Mother’s Day Brunch - a full-venue experience designed for families who want to celebrate without the usual chaos.
<a href="https://www.metropolisballroom.com/upcoming-events?utm_source=patch&amp;utm_medium=article&amp;utm_campaign=mothersday26" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">👉 View details and reserve your table here</a>
<hr>
<h2>A Brunch That Actually Feels Like an Occasion</h2>
Instead of squeezing into a packed dining room, guests are welcomed into a spacious setting with seating throughout the Ballroom, Campbell Room, Vail Room, and Harmony Suite.
That means:
<ul>
<li>
more room to move
</li>
<li>
more comfortable seating
</li>
<li>
and a pace that feels relaxed instead of rushed
</li>
</ul>
It’s the kind of setup that makes it easy to actually enjoy time with family, which is kind of the whole point.
<hr>
<h2>Let’s Talk About the Food (Because It’s a Lot)</h2>
This isn’t a “pick one entrée and call it a day” type of brunch.
This year’s menu features 40+ selections, combining chef-attended stations, brunch classics, and globally inspired dishes that give everyone at the table options.
Some highlights include:
<ul>
<li>
Raw bar with oysters and colossal shrimp
</li>
<li>
Prime rib carved to order with au jus and horseradish cream
</li>
<li>
Korean-inspired beef kalbi and Mediterranean branzino
</li>
<li>
Brioche French toast bites and Nueske candied bacon
</li>
<li>
Charcuterie boards and fresh seasonal fruit displays
</li>
<li>
Shakshuka and coconut chia pudding
</li>
<li>
A full sweets table and Bananas Foster chef station
</li>
</ul>
And yes...&nbsp;bottomless mimosas are part of the experience.
<a href="https://www.metropolisballroom.com/upcoming-events?utm_source=patch&amp;utm_medium=article&amp;utm_campaign=mothersday26" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">👉 Reserve your table while seating times are still available</a>
<hr>
<h2>Chef Stations + Interactive Experience</h2>
A big part of what sets this brunch apart is the live element.
Guests can enjoy:
<ul>
<li>
Made-to-order omelets
</li>
<li>
A waffle station with full toppings
</li>
<li>
Prime rib carving station
</li>
<li>
Bananas Foster prepared fresh
</li>
</ul>
It’s not just a buffet, it’s something you move through, explore, and come back to (more than once).
<hr>
<h2>Built for Families (Not Just Couples)</h2>
Whether it’s a table for four or a full family gathering, this setup works.
There’s a wide range of options for all ages, including kid-friendly favorites and crowd-pleasers like Corky’s fried chicken, making it easy to keep everyone happy without overthinking it.
<hr>
<h2>Seating Details (What to Know Before Booking)</h2>
Seatings are available every half hour from 10:00 AM to 2:30 PM.
When you book:
<ul>
<li>
Your ticket secures your reservation
</li>
<li>
The team follows up to confirm your exact seating time
</li>
<li>
Earlier bookings = better time selection
</li>
</ul>
Translation: waiting usually means fewer options.
<hr>
<h2>A Better Way to Do Mother’s Day</h2>
Mother’s Day doesn’t have to mean packed restaurants, limited menus, and feeling rushed out the door.
This is a more relaxed, more flexible, and honestly more enjoyable way to celebrate — with great food, space to breathe, and time to actually sit and enjoy it.
