Boiler Room.
From the first day it opened several weeks ago, Rob and I have been dying to try out Logan Square’s newest bar/pizza place, the Boiler Room. We finally stopped by earlier this week and although we had a few complaints (cash only, too crowded, etc), we were mostly pleased by the latest addition to our neighborhood. Designed to look like a boiler room/train car, the restaurant features some of the best decor Rob and I have ever seen. From the train cables that hold up the booths, to the industrial light fixtures, to the recycled CTA doors that lead to the men and women’s bathrooms, the Boiler Room owners definitely went above and beyond when they designed their establishment. Food-wise, the Boiler Room excels as well. Rob and I both tried two slices, the purist (fresh mozzarella, basil, and balsamic) and the boiler room (PBR Meatballs, giardinera, oregano). The purist was a classic slice with a great flavor that we would both definitely get again. The boiler room was good too, but it was a bit too spicy, which took away from the flavor of the cheese and meatballs. Still though, the PBR meatballs make it a worthwhile slice. Overall, between the excellent beer selection (see our drink choices below) and cheap slices ($3-4 each, pies are $20), Boiler Room is a great new addition to Logan Square.
