Motorized Retractable Roof | Paradise Park Pizza – Chicago, IL

In the heart of Chicago, where weather can change by the hour and winters are uncompromising, Artepatio engineered a solution that allows outdoor dining to thrive year-round.

For the expansive patio at Paradise Park Pizza, we designed and installed a custom motorized retractable roof system that transforms the space from open-air summer dining to a fully protected winter-ready environment—without sacrificing light, atmosphere, or guest comfort.

The retractable roof opens effortlessly to welcome sunshine and fresh air during warmer months, then closes seamlessly to shield guests from rain, wind, and snow, creating a climate-controlled outdoor experience even in peak winter conditions. The translucent roofing panels flood the space with natural light, preserving the vibrant, energetic feel that defines the venue.

Built for heavy snow loads, temperature extremes, and high-traffic hospitality use, this system expands the restaurant’s usable square footage, increases seating capacity, and ensures consistent operation regardless of season—turning the patio into one of the most valuable assets of the business.

The result is a bold example of how smart outdoor architecture can overcome climate limitations and deliver unforgettable experiences all year long.
