Get ready to experience pizza that’s out of this world!
XMarket Vegan Food Hall has exciting news for food enthusiasts! They’re adding Kitchen 17’s vegan deep-dish pizza to their impressive lineup. So, get ready for the grand opening of the Midwest's largest food hall, to be held Oct. 5-8.
A Vegan Haven for Comfort Food Lovers
Chicago’s Kitchen 17 specializes in crafting delectable comfort food made entirely from scratch. Their extensive menu features house-made meats, cheeses, desserts, and a full bar. But what sets them apart is their iconic 100% vegan deep-dish pizza, a dish so irresistible that it's now available for nationwide shipping.
Deep-Dish Vegan Pizza Comes to XMarket
PlantX CEO Lorne Rapkin shared, “No Food Hall would be complete without pizza, and Kitchen 17’s is the perfect choice, especially in Chicago, the home of deep-dish pizza. Patrons will visit the PlantX Food Hall and Kitchen 17 for deep-dish pizza if they are vegans or not. It’s that delicious. And we are certain that Kitchen 17 will be a significant draw to our innovative and diverse dining experience.”
Kitchen 17 is set to introduce a limited-menu concept, "Station 17-B: A Kitchen 17 Satellite," offering tantalizing pan-style pizza by the slice, personal-sized versions of their iconic deep-dish pizzas, seitan wings, and a wide range of house-made desserts.
Innovation Meets Tradition
Jennie Plasterer, co-owner of Kitchen 17, shared, “Our mission is to create great food without qualifications, that just happens to be 100% vegan. We are excited to join up with XMarket Vegan Food Hall to send cool vegan food into orbit at Station 17-B. We can’t wait to pay homage to our space overlords with some new food and old favorites fit for humans and extraterrestrials alike!”
Co-owner Joe Mertz added, “We are excited to launch Station 17-B at XMarket; they were one of the first vendors to carry our grocery products as we began expanding outside of Chicago. Our space station will be right at home with the exciting lineup of vendors PlantX has brought on board to open this food hall!”
Don't miss the grand opening October 5-8 from 11am-9pm. There will be sampling and events throughout the day. XMarket Vegan Food Hall is located at 804 W Montrose Ave, Chicago, IL 60613.

Just launched: Laughing in the Face of Chaos by Rudá Iandê
Exhausted from trying to hold it all together?
You show up. You smile. You say the right things. But under the surface, something’s tightening. Maybe you don’t want to “stay positive” anymore. Maybe you’re done pretending everything’s fine.
This book is your permission slip to stop performing. To understand chaos at its root and all of your emotional layers.
In Laughing in the Face of Chaos, Brazilian shaman Rudá Iandê brings over 30 years of deep, one-on-one work helping people untangle from the roles they’ve been stuck in—so they can return to something real. He exposes the quiet pressure to be good, be successful, be spiritual—and shows how freedom often lives on the other side of that pressure.
This isn’t a book about becoming your best self. It’s about becoming your real self.
