Credit: Sanford Nowlin<\/p>\n<p>A Monte Vista pizza joint famous for lines that often curl around the side of its building is evolving from a first-come, first-served counter model into an online reservation-and-pickup service, its owners revealed online.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStarting May 14th, we will be moving to full service,\u201d Lovers Pizzeria posted last week on Instagram. \u201cWe will be doing reservations\/limited walk-ins and will have online ordering for to-go pizzas!<\/p>\n<p>Beloved for its coal-oven style New York-style pies, including a poblano-topped signature model, Lovers has attracted fans willing to brave long waits and early sellouts since relocating to its current Monte Vista digs in early 2025. <\/p>\n<p>The shop is owned by Dusty Dworak and Victoria Moreno, who started the business on the South Side before jumping to the current location. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe truly never expected to have the line like we do, and while it\u2019s been amazing, it\u2019s time for something new,\u201d the Instagram post said. \u201cThis will hopefully give everyone a better experience at Lovers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\"><a
