Kids are the biggest birthday party animals out there. And what do you get at birthday parties? Pizza, pizza … and more pizza. Nothing against ‘za (it’s so quick and easy!), but for a choice less ordinary, go with one of our picks. Flip through this album for six choices, from bao buns to mini meatloafs, that are a welcome change from cheese and tomato sauce.
Artopitas
Greek food is a great choice because of the many dips and handheld items. Artopolis in Greektown is known for their artopitas, which resemble a circular spanakopita (but with a variety of different fillings). For parties they will do petite artopitas with fillings like chicken and mozzarella and spinach and cheese. Pair with a Mediterranean Fest platter stocked with hummus, baba ghanoush and other fun dunk-ables.
Artopolis, 306 S. Halsted St., Greektown (312-559-9000 or online at artopolischicago.com)
