Bob’s Pizza Slated to Open Fourth Location in Hyde Park’s Harper Court in Late January 2023

Bob’s Pizza is scheduled to open its fourth permanent location in Hyde Park in late January 2023.

The Hyde Park location of Bob’s Pizza (1518 E Harper Court) will open in the Harper Court development that features other restaurants including chef Erick Williams’ Daisy’s Po-Boy and Tavern, Ja’ Grill, Jade Court, and more.

The first Bob’s Pizza location opened in Pilsen in March 2019. Locations in Old Town and in suburban Evanston followed. All three existing locations remain open. Bob’s Pizza had a six-month residency inside Recess bar in the West Loop that concluded in October 2022.

The 3,000 square foot Bob’s Pizza location in Hyde Park will be open for dine-in, carryout, and delivery. It will have a full bar serving classic cocktail riffs, four frozen cocktails, beer by the bottle and can, wines by the glass and bottle, and spirit-free offerings. 

The Hyde Park location will feature 66 interior seats, a 60 seat patio opening in the spring, and interior murals painted by graffiti artist (and Kimski co-owner/executive chef) Won Kim. 

Slated to open for lunch and dinner seven days a week, this Bob’s Pizza location will open with specialty Pilsen-style pizzas and appetizers exclusive to the Hyde Park location.
