This once empty lot in the landmarked Printer’s Row district is now alive and bustling, courtesy of a new construction project that blends perfectly with the historic character of the surrounding neighborhood!
The new 2-story location of Roots Pizza features bright graffiti, a retractable roof, 400 seats, and a 21+ rooftop “canopy” area, bringing some much-needed nightlife to this pocket of the South Loop. The old-world aesthetic of the classic red-brown “Ironstone” Interstate brick we provided is complimented by the use of sleek and modern bifolding LaCantina Doors. The thermally broken folding doors used on this project were custom made with SDL (simulated divided light) bars to evoke the window appearance of the late 19th century buildings across and up the street.
