About
Jeffrey Fink and Matt Sieve, the restaurateurs behind Madison on Park and Madi, opened Sonny's Pizza in May 2025, transforming a 100-year-old former auto shop in University Heights into a Brooklyn-inspired pizzeria channeling 1980s Northeast pizza culture. Step inside and you're greeted with wood paneling, vintage decor, and retro touches that feel authentically lived-in, not staged. The mezzanine dining area overlooks the action while the outdoor patio—strung with lights and adorned with murals—buzzes with energy most nights. Their 12-inch pies blend Neapolitan and New York styles, delivering that perfect balance of char and chew. But Sonny's isn't just pizza: garlic knots, chicken and eggplant parm, meatballs, and Caesar salads round out the menu, while modern cocktails, natural wine, and craft beer keep the vibe laid-back but elevated. Already rated 4.7/5, this newcomer has quickly become a University Heights favorite.
