Owner says he hopes to open Bricks Wood Fired Pizza & Café in downtown Wheaton by mid-December.
Bricks Wood Fired Pizza & Café should be open at 103 E. Front St. in downtown Wheaton by mid-December, co-owner Sam Vlahos said in an email Wednesday. "We were with our contractor and landlord today and we believe if everything goes right we can hit a Mid-December deadline," he wrote. He said a few items were backordered, causing a slight delay. He said the restaurant's sliding front windows will be installed next week. Known for its wood fired brick oven pizzas ($9-$11), Bricks serves sandwiches baked in the wood fired oven, including a signature Chicken Pesto ($7), soups, salads, some appetizers and desserts.

The new restaurant will hopefully be open by late July on Prospect Avenue in Clarendon Hills; it is owned by the same family that owns four other Chicago-area restaurants, including Il Sogno in downtown Wheaton.
A new Mexican restaurant is moving into Clarendon Hills this summer, but don’t be surprised if the menu is not quite what you’ve come to expect. “The food will be as authentic Mexican as you can possibly get,” said Sylvia Jimenez, whose family plans to open Aguamiel in the former Maijean space at 30 S. Prospect Ave. by late July. Aguamiel, named for the honey water extracted from agave plants in Mexico that once was offered only to the gods by the Aztecs and Mayans, will be the Jimenez family’s fifth Chicago-area restaurant. During its 35 years in the local market, the family has opened two Santa Fe Restaurant locations in Glen Ellyn and Sandwich, Santiago’s in La Grange, and Il Sogno in Wheaton.
