PIZZERIA GABBO TO OPEN IN FULTON MARKET THIS FALL

The new neighborhood pizzeria will serve thin cut pizza, pasta, antipasti, and more

Pizzeria Gabbo, a neighborhood pizzeria and bar from Lettuce Entertain You Restaurants, will open in Fulton Market (834 W. Fulton Market St., Suite 200) this Fall. Created by Executive Partner and Divisional President Marc Jacobs and Chef Partner Andrew Ashmore (Beatrix), Pizzeria Gabbo will feature two styles of pizza—Chicago Thin & Crispy and New York Crispy, chef’s take on a traditional New York-style with a crispier finish. The menu will also highlight Italian classics, including antipasti, salads, pastas, and soft-serve gelato. 

“Having a small pizzeria has always been a dream of mine,” shared Ashmore. “The first restaurant I ever worked in was a mom-and-pop Italian restaurant in Michigan and I always enjoyed the craft behind it, especially making the dough. To use five simple ingredients and turn it into something light, crispy, and airy is just magic.”

The 60-seat restaurant and 8-seat bar will focus on sourcing product from both local farms and purveyors as well as imported from abroad, with an emphasis on the highest-quality ingredients including organic flour, imported tomatoes and aged parmigiano reggiano. Similarly, the wine program, crafted by Senior Sommelier John C. Slatter (Aba, Ema) will highlight Italian, artisanal family-owned wineries with more than 20 pours available by-the-glass. The bar program, led by Senior Beverage Manager Nicholas Berggren (Aba, Ema) will offer a classic, all-natural Spritz list and Italian-inspired cocktails, plus low ABV and zero-proof cocktails. 

Pizzeria Gabbo will be open for lunch and dinner, with carryout and delivery to follow. The restaurant is located at 834 W. Fulton Market St., Suite 200. For more information and to be the first to know about opening updates, follow @pizzeriagabbo on Instagram and join the email newsletter.
