About
Coal-fired pizza with a serious crust and creative toppings. Black Sheep offers vegan cheese on any pizza and has vegetable-forward options that shine without meat. The char from the coal oven adds incredible flavor. Try the seasonal vegetable pizza or build your own with their quality toppings. The North Loop location has industrial character with exposed brick and an open kitchen. Multiple locations serve the same quality pies. Great for groups with mixed dietary needs.

Our server Emily was great! She was really kind to us and helped guide my partner through all of the vegan options. Will definitely recommend! Good service!
Bar-like pizza place with fresh coal fired pizza, and unique toppings. This is the only gluten free pizza that tasted so good, it could be wheat pizza. And their mozzarella did not cause my lactose-intolerant self any issues. Favorite toppings (not all together) are Persian beef, mushrooms, margarita, Kalamata olives, harissa sauce, rosemary, and smoked mozzarella. Also, donβt sleep on the eggplant dip, itβs so delicious. Cocktails are excellent, too. Pizza is on the expensive end but so worth it. 3 points for atmosphere because itβs very bar-like, loud, dark, juke box, sports tv, etc, which may be right up someone elseβs alley, just not mine 4 points for service, could be better. They seem exhausted and exasperated consistently. And this isnβt a judgement of the employees, but rather the employer. The employer should hire more staff rather than have overworked and exhausted employees.
Update: We went back and had a fantastic meal!! We got the ricotta meatball pizza. The crust was flavorful and perfectly thin and crispy. We also got the roasted vegetables. Emily (who was awesome!!) recommended them to us, and we are so glad we took her up on her suggestion! They may not sound very exciting, but WOW so tasty and delicious! We will definitely go back and get the roasted vegetables again. Original: The mushroom skewer was good! The mushroom pizza we got was just okay. Maybe because of all the water released by the mushrooms, the bottom crust was kind of soggy.
I was visiting for a work trip and someone from Chicago told me I had to try this pizza on my way in on the Amtrak. The pizza was so good!! They even let you do half and half pizzas, so you can try more of their delicious flavors. I went with the meatball/ricotta (#4) and the smoked chicken (#14), and it was one of the best pizzas Iβve had. The crust was perfectly crispy and the flavors were freak and complex. The service was phenomenal and they made sure my water never got below half full on a hot day in the city. I did pay $3/hr for parking, but thatβs to be expected anywhere in the city. If you like quality pizza from a local company that supports their workers, this is a must try spot.
Can definitely be harder to find parking on the weekend when thereβs a Timβs game or twins game going on, but definitely worth it, really great location, amazing service and phenomenal food. Really delicious and exciting mocktails! for one pizza split between two people and two drinks it was about $20 each!!
I have been coming to this north loop location for the last decade or so, and every time has been a very enjoyable experience that I have always been happy to share with friends and family over the years. Place has a very unique vibe to it that brings a nice atmosphere to this pizza shop, the food over the years has always been superb, and has always stayed up to date with pizza trends (ex. Hot Honey!) - servers here are always the best and will ensure that any problems that arise are promptly resolved to your satisfaction! Here's to another decade of great north loop pizza!
Teamed up with friends to get 3 different pizzas. Meatball was my favorite. Pineapple and bacon was 2nd and pepperoni onion and olives were a 3rd place. All tasted great. Service was very good stopping at the table multiple times to check on drinks and refills. Interior is industrial downtown vibe. You can see the flames from the coal fire oven from seating area.
Service was prompt and tentative. Pizza came out and was cooked perfectly. Crispy bottom with just enough flop to it. Ordered a simple pepperoni. Sauce is light and refreshing. Cheese had very good flavor. Pepperoni were on the mild side but worked well with all the flavors. The crust had nice spots of char without being over cooked.
Really good pizza. It wasnβt even very hot because we had it Uber Eats delivered but I could have crushed an entire pizza by myself. Surprisingly the cheese pizza was really good. Not usually a fan of just cheese but this was great. Nice chew to the crust. Good sauce. Good toppings on the others. Nice slight coal fired flavored. Definitely a win. The rest of the city is crap but this place is good.
Very cool spot! Had great reviews so stopped in for dinner with the family. We had the cheesy bread with marinara which was good. We also ordered the grilled vegetables appetizer that we enjoyed. Then my wife and daughter ordered a pizza with tomatoes, feta cheese, harissa and fennel sausage which they really enjoyed. My son is a basic pizza kid so we split a pepperoni pizza which we also enjoyed. We all liked the coal fired approach which reminded us of some of the places we enjoyed when we lived in CT (New Haven). Service is going to get its own section here in the write up because it was exceptional! We had an Asian guy (apologies I can't recall his name) who took care of us who was fantastic! Positive attitude, super upbeat and friendly. Very helpful with menu suggestions and beer suggestions as well. Very attentive, refills were timely, never had any long stretches where he disappeared (and they were PACKED). Really stayed on top of everything and provided a great experience overall. Excellent meal and experience and I highly recommend you give it a shot if you're in the area.
