Pizza Craft Pizzeria & Italian Specialities

This cozy Himmarshee District spot serves Barstool-rated wood-fired pizzas alongside old school Italian specialties like rigatoni spicy vodka and chicken parmigiana. The real surprise lies behind a pair of doors where you'll discover The Apothecary 330, their hidden speakeasy-style cocktail bar.

Tucked into the historic Himmarshee District, Pizza Craft has settled into that rare category of restaurant that works for almost any occasion. It's close enough to the museum district that a family with a pizza-craving kid in tow can walk right in, and the wood-fired pies (Barstool rated 8.1) have built a loyal following for good reason. But there's more going on than just pizza: old-school Italian plates like bucatini carbonara and chicken parmigiana round out a menu that leans comforting rather than fussy, alongside snacks like black truffle arancini and a burrata that shows up often in conversation about the place. What sets Pizza Craft apart from a standard neighborhood pizzeria is what's behind the doors inside. The Apothecary 330 is a hidden speakeasy-style cocktail bar, turning a casual family dinner spot into a legitimate late-night or date-night destination once the sun goes down. Service consistently comes up as a strength, with regulars describing a level of familiarity and attentiveness that keeps them coming back. It's an easy recommendation for the Himmarshee area: reasonably priced, flexible with the crowd you bring, and open late most nights except Monday, when it's closed. Whether you're grabbing a quick pizza after a museum visit or settling into the speakeasy for cocktails, Pizza Craft delivers a genuinely local, unpretentious experience that doesn't require much of a leap of faith.
