Introduction to Little Nero’s Pop-Up
FULTON MARKET — Thirty-five years after “Home Alone” hit the silver screen, you can finally get a lovely cheese pizza all to yourself just as Kevin McCallister dreamed of.
The Pop-Up Concept
To mark the film’s anniversary, Prince Street Pizza, 939 W. Randolph St., is teaming up with Disney+ on a pop-up that transforms the Fulton Market shop into Little Nero’s, the fictional pizzeria the McCallisters order from the night before their Paris trip.
The Inspiration Behind the Pop-Up
It’s also where Kevin famously orders his cheese pizza, scaring off the delivery driver by blasting audio from a gangster movie on VHS.
Features of the Pop-Up
The pop-up runs through Wednesday and features Little Nero’s pizza boxes, redesigned menus and other novelty packaging. Prince Street also renamed its cheese slice “The Lovely Cheese Pizza” in an ode to Kevin’s preferred order.
Nods to the Movie
Inside, the restaurant is packed with nods to the movie, including a Winnetka license plate and, a “Polka Clarinet Lessons” flier referencing the band Kate McCallister hitches a ride with back to Chicago,. Out front, a red delivery car matching the one seen on-screen is parked by the entrance.
Alternative Location
If you can’t make it to the pop-up Downtown, Easy Street Pizza has decked out its Park Ridge location with all things “Home Alone” through mid-January, with themed food, cocktails and floor-to-ceiling holiday decor.
Conclusion
The Little Nero’s pop-up is a must-visit for any "Home Alone" fan, offering a unique and immersive experience that will transport you back to the iconic movie. With its themed food, decorations, and novelty packaging, it’s an event you won’t want to miss.
