Little Nero’s Pizza from Home Alone is Back—Just in Time for the Holidays!

You don’t have to be left Home Alone to enjoy Kevin McCallister’s favorite fictional pizza joint! For a limited time, Easy Street Pizza in Park Ridge is transforming into the iconic Little Nero’s Pizza from the classic 1990 holiday film. Located at 711 Devon Ave., this nostalgic pop-up runs through the end of the year, giving fans a chance to indulge in some movie magic.

The pizzeria’s regular menu is still available, but the real treat is the selection of Home Alone-themed dishes. Dig into creative options like Kevin’s Fried Chicken Mac and Cheese or toasted ravioli—a nod to the Midwest’s love for this crispy classic.

And the fun doesn’t stop at the food! Seasonal cocktails take inspiration from the film, including the decadent “Wet Bandits Hot Chocolate” and the festive “Uncle Frank,” a mix of whiskey, brown sugar simple syrup, black walnut bitters, and a garnish of orange peel and cranberry.

Whether you’re a fan of the movie or just love holiday-themed eats and drinks, this pop-up is worth the trip. Don’t miss your chance to live out a slice of Home Alone magic before the year ends. Cheers, ya filthy animals!
