It’s official: world-famous Italian pizzeria Bonci will open a second restaurant in Chicago. Popular due to the eclectic topping combinations from founder/chef Gabriele Bonci, the owners of Bonci’s American division plan to open this spring at 1566 N. Damen Avenue, the former home of Dox Quality Greek.
Eater Chicago previously reported that Bonci was interested in opening in Wicker Park near the six corners intersection, but ownership in November said a deal wasn’t official. There is only one Bonci in the United States. It opened in August in the West Loop and introduced pizza al taglio — Roman-style pizza slices cut to order with scissors — to the neighborhood.
