At Scallywags, we believe that great food tells a storyāand our newest addition is steeped in history, flavor, and a bit of pizza-fueled persistence. After months of testing, tweaking, and tasting, weāre proud to introduce our Chicago-Style Tavern Thin Crust Pizzaāa crispy, cheesy tribute to one of Americaās most beloved pizza styles.

š So What IsĀ Tavern-Style Pizza?
Born in the neighborhood taverns of Chicago, this style is known for its thin, crackly crust, square-cut slices, and bold toppings. Unlike the deep-dish cousin it's often confused with, tavern-style pizza is light, crispy, and perfect for sharing with a cold drinkāwhich, letās be honest, is basically our love language here at Scallywags.
š„ The Crust That Took Months
Behind the scenes, our kitchen has been hard at work, with Chef LĆŖ TĆ¢mĀ leading the charge to perfect the homemade thin crust dough. "We wanted it light but sturdy, crispy but not dryāand something that would complement bold toppings without being overwhelmed by them," says TĆ¢m.
After a few flour-covered late nights and more than a few taste tests (we suffered for you, honestly), the result is a crust thatās light, golden, and just the right kind of chewy-crisp. Itās the perfect base for punchy tomato sauces, gooey cheeses, and vibrant toppings.
š The Lineup
Weāre not just rolling out one or two optionsāweāve gone all in with eight mouthwatering varietiesĀ to suit every craving:
PepperoniĀ ā A bold classic with perfectly crisped pepperoni and melty mozzarella.
BBQ ChickenĀ ā Sweet, smoky, and loaded with juicy chicken and colorful bell peppers.
Chicken PestoĀ ā Fresh, tangy, and topped with sun-dried tomatoes.
HawaiianĀ ā Ham, pineapple, and that rich tomato-mozzarella combo you secretly love.
Meat LoversĀ ā A carnivoreās dream with sausage, pepperoni, and bacon.
Garden PizzaĀ ā A colorful medley of veggies on a tomato-rich base.
MargheritaĀ ā The timeless classic with fresh basil and rich tomato sauce.
All finished with a blend of mozzarella and Parmesan, and served up Scallywags-style: casual, full of flavor, and meant to be enjoyed with friends.

š» Perfect Pairings
Whether youāre settling in to catch the footy, ordering a round with your mates, or just in the mood for something cheesy and nostalgic, this pizza is built to pair with a pint and some good banter.
Try the BBQ ChickenĀ with a crisp cider, or the Meat LoversĀ with a bold IPA. The MargheritaĀ shines with a glass of white, and the Garden Pizza? Well, that oneās perfect for pretty much any sunny Da Nang afternoon.
š Come Taste the Difference
Weāre fired up (literally) to share this with you, and the early verdict is in: our guests love it. Itās already becoming one of the most popular items on the menuāand weāre just getting started.
So next time you're in the neighborhood, stop by for a slice of historyāand a whole lot of flavor.
