Zarella is a River North pizzeria and taverna from Boka Restaurant Group, built around tavern-style and artisan pizzas alongside a broader menu of salads and pastas. The bar pie has become a standout among regulars, and portions run generous.
The space reads as elegant but cozy rather than formal, and it's developed a following tough enough to get a table at. A grab-and-go window on Grand Street offers a faster route to a whole pie for anyone skipping the sit-down room, and the restaurant runs a recurring pizza-making class for guests who want to learn the dough-and-oven process firsthand.
