Eataly has multiple locations in Italy and Japan, one in Dubai, one in Istanbul, one in New York, and one in Chicago. The Chicago location opened about a year ago downtown on E Ohio St between Wabash Ave and Rush St. Eataly is a high-end Italian food market with 23 restaurants and 21 retail departments. There are lots of sights, smells, and flavors to take in. It's slightly overwhelming, but once you get comfortable in there, it's really fantastic. Every ingredient used in the restaurants in Eataly is also for sale there.
We ate at the counter at La Pizza, and watched a chef hand-stretch, spin, and pile our Neapolitan-style pizzas with toppings before cooking them in the 900° wood-burning oven for 90 seconds. I ordered the Dolce e Piccante, which is a white pizza with gorgonzola dolce, spicy salami, mozzarella, basil, and extra virgin olive oil. Perfect.
