More...The Experience
Get to know the hidden side of Chicago pizza—the thin-crust, tavern-style pie locals love—during a hands-on evening at Novel Pizza Cafe. Start with an artisanal cocktail and mixology tutorial by Joe Briggs and Lily Wang of acclaimed local speakeasy Nine Bar. Novel co-owner Francis Almeda will then share the story of how the cafe went from popup to icon, before head chef Enrique Huizar guides you in preparing irresistible cracker-crisp pizzas. Finally, you'll savor slices during a communal-style dinner complete with drinks and music. Exclusively for Mastercard cardholders.
