Journal Square’s food scene is slowly, but surely growing. The latest eatery to move into the neighborhood is Chicago’s Pizza With a Twist. The deep dish pizza shop announced it will open at 2 Journal Square.
Chicago’s Pizza With a Twist bills itself as a healthier pizza alternative. Originating in California back in 2014, the franchise will have over 100 locations by year’s end with storefronts in New York, Virginia, New Jersey, Indiana, Nevada, Washington, and Toronto.
As far as the food is concerned, they specialize in deep dish pizza made with local ingredients. Their menu features traditional and BYO pizza options, alongside a few international pizzas like their Naan Pizza, Paneer Pizza, and a Desi Style Meat Pizza. There are also options for salads, wings, and pasta.
The Journal Square location, which will be their second in New Jersey, will span 1,240 square feet.
“The building’s recent renovations and prime location will provide our business a steady flow of customers as well as a high-quality restaurant space,” said Virender Singh, franchisee for Chicago’s Pizza With a Twist. “We are excited to get the restaurant up and running and bringing this unique brand to the Journal Square neighborhood.”
Chicago’s Pizza With a Twist will join BurgerIM and Chase Bank, which are also opening at 2 Journal Square. There’s no precise opening date, but the pizza shop will open in early 2020.
