Chef Bill Kim’s Pizza & Parm Shop, a new virtual restaurant based out of the Chicago suburb of Oak Brook, opens this Wednesday, December 2.
Available exclusively for takeout through DoorDash, this pop-up offers the western Chicago suburbs a chance to experience the chef’s menu of flavors.
“Growing up on the northside of Chicago, I had a lot of Italian friends and was constantly surrounded by the cuisine… I think part of me even wanted to be Italian!” remarks Kim, a native of Seoul, South Korea whose family immigrated to Chicago when he was seven. “This menu is a homage to them and my childhood with flavors and dishes I love and that travel incredibly well through delivery.”
The menu spotlights Detroit-style pizza, known for its signature square shape and caramelized cheese crust — as Kim says, “a happy medium between Chicago deep dish and thin crust styles.” In addition to pizza, the menu features a classic chicken parmesan entrée and chicken parmesan sandwiches. Salads such as a chopped Caesar salad and wings are available as well.
Chef Bill Kim’s Pizza & Parm Shop hours are 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday.
This pop-up follows the launch of Chef Bill Kim’s Ramen Bar one month ago, another concept located in Oak Brook featuring Kim’s takes on the Asian comfort and cold-weather dish. Both represent new restaurant concepts and menus not present on Cornerstone and Kim’s portfolio of restaurants.
"Every restaurateur and entrepreneur needed to get more creative than ever this year,” said Danny McGowan, COO of Cornerstone. “We are thinking beyond the four walls of our restaurants and utilizing all parts of that space. The ghost kitchen is a concept we’ve explored before, but never to this level with two brand new restaurant concepts and menus."
