UPDATE — the full story: a local wood-fired pizza spot named Wooden Paddle has confirmed its oven will stay on until midnight, allowing guests to eat “as much pizza as they want”.

The all-nighter marks the restaurant’s 13th birthday. Friday, July 17. Endless pizza, a DJ, no off-switch.

“We turned 13 and lost our minds,” one owner said, staring into the middle distance.

Tickets are reportedly $29. A link has surfaced in the comment section; sources could not confirm when it closes. At press time, staff were still making pizza and declined to comment.

Wooden Paddle turns 13 on Friday, July 17. Endless wood-fired pizza till midnight, a DJ, and a full bar. Tickets $29. Lemont + La Grange.

We have a winner. Christine Smith, this one's yours. Your dad ordering lamb on a cruise and telling the waiter it was "not baaaad" is the exact groan we were after. Brunch for two is on us. Please check your DMs.

To everyone who entered: thank you. We read every single one. Turns out your dads are a deeply unserious bunch, and we say that with love.

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there.❤️
