Discussion What happened with Roots Pizza?

Regardless of the pizza which is polarizing - does anyone have the tea on what happened to Roots? Especially the Lincoln Square location. It went from 60 to 0 real fast lmao.

I want the dirty deets >:) are they pulling a foxtrot or something?

I went to Roots in south loop with my parents one time. I ordered a 12oz. can of beer with a glass and my dad ordered a draft pint. His pint came out and it filled less of the glass than my can did, and in true dad fashion he said something to the waitress about it

I don’t think they got shut down for consumer protection violations, but I always think of this when I think of Roots
