    Margherita Pizza
    Justin J.

    Was feeling like pizza the other night, and was and Eagle Rock, and Wildcrust was in my list of places I needed to try, so made a quick reservation and headed over. Parking at Wildcrust is minimal in their parking lot, so you may need to find street parking, which is much more ample. The restaurant itself has an indoor and patio seating option. It was raining hard when we arrived, so inside was the move. We were sat immediately and water was brought to the table. After a quick look at the menu, we started with the pork belly and meatballs, with two pizzas: the margherita and bacon onion jam. The pork belly passed the eyeball test with some pickled cabbage on top. The meat,itself, was thinly slides and pretty fatty overall. Would have preferred more meat to fat ratio. Also, it could have been crispier on top to give the nice textured bite you look for from pork belly. The meatballs, oh the other hand, were outstanding. Definitely in my top three meatballs I've ever had. They use a snake rivers farm beef, and you can taste the quality, but it what feel like there's Parmesan mixed directly into the beef giving it this extra amazingness to each bite. The meatballs are layers with a chipotle tomato sauce giving a little spice and smokiness. Just a great meatball, would definitely recommend. Now you the pizzas. They are on the smaller end when it comes to pizzas for a table, and that's fine. First, the margherita. The tomatoes used tasted very nice, and the dough itself was good. The cheese felt a little cold in some areas, for some reason, so it became overly hard and not that soft, creamier texture. It also felt a little overly wet for a margherita. The bacon onion jam was different. It comes with goat cheese which, for be, I didn't feel was very prominent, to the point I didn't notice it. But a little ghost cheese goes a long way so this was probably for the best. But I was expecting this to really stand out and leave a memorable mark on me but, for some reason, it didn't. Overall, Wildcrust is a wood for oven pizza spot in Highland Park serving to they're take on the classic Naples item. If you go, absolutely order the meatballs, and bring me one as well. I'd say skip the pork belly. As for the pizza, if I had to choose one for you to order.... I guess the margherita based on the two we tried. But, honestly, just get the meatballs

    Great place to eat some amazing quality food and wouldn't brake the bank honestly. the service was also just amazing friendly faces and just always walking around checking on you. the venue was clean, small but lore of a homie feel then cramped. they have a great variety of foods just need to get there and try a little bit of it all.

    Great potential here with lots to work out. The Good: The Squash blossoms were yummy, the flavor and presentation was great! The meatballs were also good, the sauce was slightly spicy which was a great touch. Their spritz is also really refreshing and surprisingly strong. Ambiance absolutely gets a 5/5! The Not so good: The space is small and can feel quite cramped we were put at a weird setup table where we both faced the wall and kept getting bumped into when people walked behind us. The wait was honestly kinda ridiculous, they recommend you put the dishes in together but then bring everything out like 15-20 minutes apart the meal did not feel cohesive whatsoever. Service was also lacking, our server (while very nice) checked in only once the whole dinner. Besides the pizza, servings are also quite small. Overall a good one and done place, I don't see myself coming back but am glad I gave it a try!

    Omigosh, so so good! Service - we had the friendliest and attentive waitress from New York. She was the best! Food - so amazing. Meatballs - 5/5, so flavorful, doesn't just taste like your regular old meaty meatballs. It was so tender, juicy, and flavorful. Would def get this again. Salame - 4/5, I got this one, this is also so amazing, the chili drizzle was really good and it gave it a little kick. I ordered the Calabrian chili for 1.75 and it made it even spicier which I loved. Very flavorful! Margherita - 5/5, my husband got this one, so insanely good, can taste so many different flavors with one bite! I'll definitely be getting this one next time, this was the highlight I was sad they stopped selling the duck croquettes cus we really wanted to try it but hope they bring it back!

    I was excited when my friend asked me to try this place since I had it bookmarked for a while lol A cute place for a date, but also a nice place for family/friends gathering. Place is not huge tho...reservations recommended. There was a deposit fee for reservation. You will lose it if you don't show up or cancel in advance. Parking was very limited. In the same plaza as Fondry...my friends ended up parking in the streets. One of my friends made reservation for 4. The friendly host seated us right away when we arrived. I don't order salad often, but i was looking forward to try their Caesar salad. We ordered one Caesar, the asparagus, meatballs, hamachi crudo, and 2 pizzas. For pizza, we got the funghi and salame picante. I enjoyed the small plates more than the pizzas. The caesar salad was very refreshing =) i enjoyed every bite. Very tasty!! The Hamachi had a little spice to it. It was so good. I loved the flavor. I also thought the asparagus was yummy. It was cooked perfectly. Not sure what they added, but it was so good. I wanted to put all the sauce on it lol My least favorite was the meatballs. It looked good, but the flavor was lacking. Also, thought it was a bit dry. Luckily, we didn't add another piece for $7. I liked the funghi pizza more than the salame. The salame was too sweet for my liking. However, i am not a fan of honey or sweet pizza . The funghi was good, but a bit too salty. Very thin pizza. I prefer the thicker ones with lots of cheese, but these weren't bad at all. Overall, it was good. Service was very good as well.

    Caesar salad - competent, lots of cheese, really nice tiny croutons with a great texture. Duck croquettes - oddly gamey tasting and not in an enjoyable way for me. There is a lot of duck in these tho and the cheese is really nice. The garlic aoili is also good. Funghi pizza - 2 day cold fermented sourdough crust, with a really nice chewy texture, that I wish had more flavor. The Raclette paired nicely with the mushrooms. It needed...maybe a little salt? Didn't wow me for the price, which was my takeaway for this entire spot, really. Our waitress was very informative and friendly and service was very quick and attentive. This space is cute altho, at night, real hard to read the menus if you're over 40 A nice date night vibe tho. I doubt we'll be back, but I'm glad we tried it.

    This is probably the best artisan pizza I've ever had the pleasure of trying. All their pizzas are made with a "slow-fermenting dough that is enhanced with sourdough starter" (I had to look that up). Add fire, and you end up with a crust that is flavorful, chewy with just the right amount of crispiness. The toppings are fresh and thoughtfully combined into true masterpieces. One of the highlights of the menu is the tempura-battered squash blossoms. Light and crispy, filled with creamy ricotta, pine nuts, and herbs, they're a must-try! The wine list is small but well chosen, with options that pair nicely with the whatever you choose. The staff are friendly and happy to help with wine suggestions or menu questions. (I suggest the 2019 Castello di Uviglie "Le Cave" Barbera del Monferrato Superiore) :-) Whether you're planning a date night or just want a really good pizza, Wildcrust hits the mark. It's a simple, well-executed dining experience with top-quality ingredients and a laid-back vibe.

    Salame Piccante Pizza
    Winnie L.

    Decided to do to an online order for pickup since I was craving pizza. You can choose if you want your pizza to be 6 or 8 slices. Once you place your order you'll receive an email order receipt with your pick up time on the top left. You won't receive any text or email saying it's ready for pickup, you just show up. I Picked it up 10 min after the eta and I was glad that it was still warm. Salame Piccante: Upon the first bite, I definitely tasted the charred smoky flavor from the crust. Then a combination of salty, sweet and a slight spiciness. The sweetness reminded me of hot honey. This is a thin but structured pizza. Overall the pizza was good and I enjoyed it. Parking: There is a small shared lot in the plaza. They are located in the same plaza as Fondry. There are lots of street parking.

    been a long time since i really checked out highland park though my first residence after graduating college was in highland park. what a change in the scenery, especially among the shops and restaurants. if wildcrust is an example of the new places here then highland park's future looks bright. i came here to try the pizza and it did not disappoint. there are, i think, six or seven pizzas and they are all slightly bigger than personal sizes but ideal for sharing. get two and you can share among two or three people. i went for the salame one which is more traditional but it has a slight kick to it, more flavor than heat. the crust was sourdough and i imagine it was either a coal- or wood-fired oven. thin crust, totally balanced and sublime. angelina the GM came by to check on me and convinced me to try the meatballs. they did not disappoint either. they were crispy on the outside so i imagine they were probably baked and then put onto a grill after. whatever they did, there was a ton of flavor. angelina is super warm and friendly and has a smile that makes you feel like an old friend. the place has a great neighborly feel. parking is a little challenging but a small price to pay. i will be back. what a cool find.

    funghi pizza

    Really enjoyed our meal here. The food was great. Ambience was casual. Service was friendly. We had the hamachi crudo as a starter. Then followed with the asparagus. We ordered 2 pizzas, knowing we would take home some leftovers but wanted to try more than one. We preferred the fungi over the mortadella. Mortadella slices on the pizza were strangely thick. We had 3 glasses of wine between the 2 of us. The only downside (besides the lack of parking) is that our bill was over $200 for a really good, but pizza dinner. With the appetizer @ $29 for good but 5 pieces of hamachi crudo, asparagus coming in at $23, and pizzas averaging $26 each, this is a pricey meal. Add wine at an average of $20/glass and it adds up. This is not your average casual dinner for 2. But the location, ambience and service suggest otherwise. Would I return? I don't think so. I would like to hope that I could go out to a nice, but casual pizza restaurant for under $200. It was good, but not that good. Unfortunately.

    So so glad my boss introduced me to Wildcrust located in the Highland Park area. Everything we ordered was DELICIOUS & service was super quick. Cesar Salad: I wanna say this was probably one of the best Cesar salads I've ever had -- each piece of salad was coated nicely in the Cesar sauce and the crunchy bits in each bite made it 1000x better. Salame Piccante: Woah.. the way the crust was light & airy. They were super generous with the amount of salame they put on the pizza & the sauce and hints of honey altogether was *chefs kiss*. Burrata: The burrata was delicious and super fresh! This was a nice light side we had before our main dish came out. Broccolini: The broccolini was sooo good and flavorful -- you gotta make sure to dip as much sauce as possible into the veggie or you're missing out. This was a great addition to our meal as a veggie option :-) This was such a cute, hipstery spot in HP that I discovered. I would 10000% come back specifically for the Cesar Salad + the salame piccante pizza.

    This may as well be one of the BEST pizza spots in the area. BUT, I cannot stop there. The appetizers are a solid, unskippable must. The waiters are kind and intimate, with convenient sake recommendations. The desserts are a very very nice round off to a delicious night out. DO NOT miss this spot. If there is one dish I have to give the shout-out to, it will easily be the Brussels sprouts, SO ADDICTING!

    Funghi pizza perfection.

The list clearly favors organic and biodynamic producers, which I always appreciate--minimal intervention, letting the terroir and varietal speak without unnecessary manipulation. The flight format was flexible, offering around five selections with the option to choose three pours. I went with a sparkling red, an orange wine, and a white--each bringing its own personality to the table. The sparkling red was lively and slightly unconventional, the orange wine had that textured, skin-contact complexity, and the white rounded things out with a clean, expressive finish. Our server elevated the experience by guiding the tasting order, which made a noticeable difference in how each wine showed. It's always a good sign when the staff understands how to pace a flight rather than just drop it off and walk away. We didn't explore the food menu this time, so I can't speak to the full program, but purely from a wine perspective, it lands at a solid 4 stars for me. The space itself is ideal for a relaxed midday tasting--plenty of seating, with a great outdoor setup. The tall greenery creates a sense of privacy without feeling closed off, making it just as suitable for a casual date as it is for catching up with friends. Honestly, if you've got a flexible workday and don't need to be on camera, this is a pretty perfect spot to post up with a glass and ease into the afternoon.
