Dulono's has been my go-to on lazy weekend nights for a few years. With beer, pizza, and bluegrass starting at 8pm every Friday and Saturday, it's often where I head when I'm anxious to get out of the house but don't have a hankering for exploring new-to-me locales. The music is sometimes hit-or-miss for a true blue bluegrass lover. Some nights are better than others, but even the less exciting acts are good background ambience for beers and pizza in a cozy, kitschy booth. I've almost always stuck to the House Special pizza (pictured), because I'm a sucker for olives, but I bet all the specialty pizza are worth a whirl (although I can't get behind the cheeseburger-themed one, there's something about pickles on pizza that disturbs me). I split a Medium, which was plenty for two people, but having a cold, leftover slice of this in the morning would not be a bad thing.
Family-friendly, reasonably-priced, and quick to deliver those pizzas to table, Dulono's is a welcome dose of ease, lacking in any pretension, in the often over-priced and crowded Uptown haunts. Just around the corner from Cause Soundbar, Huge Improv Theater, and the Jungle, Dulono's would be an easy supper to start off a night of further entertainment, too. No reservations necessary (do they even take reservations??) but for more well-known bluegrass acts you'll want to get there early for a good table.
