Has a large vegan/vegetarian selection, which is pretty good. Injera is delicious and definitely the highlight. Quality of the dishes seems to vary on the day I've noticed, on a good day it's pretty fantastic.
Service can be somewhat slow and inattentive, it's difficult to split checks if you have a large group too. Will provide gluten free injera if you call in advance which is a plus.
Food was delicious! We had the classic burger and the spicy version (belly burger). Both were very good. My gluten free bun was probably the best I've ever had- not gf spongy at all (in the kitchen sponge type of way most gf buns are). Only down side was the fries were not safe. Could upgrade to a salad for 4 dollars, but I decided not to. Burger was already pretty pricey. We will probably be back, though as there aren't a lot of comparable, delicious options!
I've been coming here since the old location across the street, and it makes me so happy to see how successful they've been since expanding.
I was diagnosed with celiac, so it was difficult trying to adjust to the fact I couldn't have everything from the menu anymore. Our waitress is one whom we have seen around for awhile and she was so kind in letting me know some of the rolls could be adjusted and made gluten free. She even brought gluten free soy sauce for me and gave reassurance (without me asking) that the rolls i got were made carefully! š„¹
I love it here and would recommend anyone, Celiac and non-celiac, to come here! For sure my favorite place in Chicago! š£ā¤ļø
I often come here for lunch. The lunch specials are really tasty. They offer sushi specials with raw and cooked options. Also cooked meals like pad Thai and basil chicken. I enjoy the Thai iced tea. They are very welcoming to solo diners, which is much appreciated. I recommend the taro custard for dessert. I also have the ramen here, which they will make with rice noodles for gluten-free diners.

We loved our dinner! Delicious sushi, friendly and helpful staff. They were very helpful with gluten free options, and they carry gluten free soy sauce. This is our new sushi spot!
A Hidden Gem in the Neighborhood ā Weāll Be Back!
My wife and I had an absolutely fantastic experience at Pizzeria Aroma in Chicago. From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations.
We kicked things off with their handcrafted margaritasābalanced, fresh, and perfectly made. Then came the salads, which were far from your standard āsimpleā dinner salads. Each ingredient was neatly chopped, fresh, and beautifully presented.
For dinner, we ordered three gluten-free pizzas: a 10" gluten-free pizza for me, another 10" flat pizza with cheese, sausage, and veggies for my wife, and a medium cheese and sausage pizza to bring home for the kids. Every pie was flavorful, crisp, and clearly made with careāgluten-free or not.
To cap off the evening, we shared a slice of flourless chocolate cake sourced from a local, family-owned bakery. Rich, satisfying, andālike everything elseācompletely gluten-free.
Service throughout the meal was superb: attentive, friendly, and relaxed, which made our lazy 4th of July dinner feel like a real break from the grind.
This is a family-run spot that takes pride in its food and it shows. Weāll absolutely be back to explore more of the menuāespecially after reading so many other glowing reviews. Pizzeria Aroma is officially on our go-to list.
Highly recommend!
I have come here for lunch several times. The staff is always super friendly and attentive. There are lots of gluten-free options. I especially enjoy the chicken and rice soup. The broth has a great flavor. Tastes like fresh stock. They have lunch specials, but I usually order a main dish on its own. The pad Thai is good and so is the basil chicken. The restaurant is right next to the Granville red line stop but the noise blends into the background.
