Deck Pizza & Pub   

A pizza joint that's both family- and after-hours friendly? Rarely do the two qualities commingle that well, but they do at the Deck, where parents and kids devour slices by day and late-night-munchie hunters stroll in by night. The 1,100-square-foot space sets prices markedly lower than its Hyde Park-area neighbors. So, if expensive sushi and martinis are not in your budget, come down to Earth and chow down at Deck. Locally owned by a group of Plant High alumni pals, Deck features a pizza shop with a covered patio, tables, four flat screen TVs and ceiling fans. Inside, an open kitchen, four more flat screens, a bar and booths accommodate around 25 diners. The mood is friendly and straight-up no-nonsense, and the menu steers clear of the gourmet flourishes trotted out by its competitors. On it are pizza by the pie and slice, calzones, strombolis and salads. Beer and wine are sold too.
