Showcasing 3,000 sq ft worth of pizza-centric-memorabilia, the U.S. Pizza Museum is finally ready to re-open its doors to the public. Though pop-up versions of the cheesy experience<\/a> have floated around Chicago for the past few years now, the move to\u00a0150 Roosevelt Rd in the city’s South Loop marks the largest and most ~official~ version of the museum to-date \u2013 and we couldn’t be more stoked.<\/p>\n

Intent on telling the history of American ‘za, the collection features everything from pizza boxes to vintage menus, from long-lost chain-mascots to 80’s collectibles. In addition to the pieces themselves, the museum will also showcase a wide variety of themed souvenirs, t-shirts and more. Oh, and before we forget, did we mention that it’s free<\/em>?<\/p>\n

The U.S. Pizza Museum first opened as a pop-up in Chicago last August, but now it’s here to stay. New features include vintage pizzeria menus and advertisements, an authentic 10-foot-tall Pizzeria Due<\/a> sign from the 1980s, a 1975 kids’ Pizza Hut Electric Baking Oven, and Forever Pizza, a real slice of pizza preserved in acrylic by artist Steph Mantis.<\/p>\n

Get your tickets<\/a> today to the Grand Re-Opening Reception on June 1 from 12:30 – 1:30 pm. And yes, there will be free pizza while supplies last for this special event!<\/p>\n
