Loud Pizza Records
Opened in Downtown Highland Park in 2022, Loud Pizza Records is a bright, exciting, and joyful record store. Inside, customers will find thousands of vinyl records ranging from Pop to Alternative to New Soul to Punk to Soundtracks and more. Much of Loud Pizza’s inventory is actually inspired by customers who come in and recommend an artist or album.
In addition to vinyl, customers can find merch and collectables. With frequent in-store listening parties, artist meet & greets, and live performances, customers can get a truly immersive musical experience.
We asked owners Jeri and Michael what makes Loud Pizza stand out from other record stores. Loud Pizza is a place where customers can be themselves without fear of judgement for who they are or what they listen to… no need to hide that Taylor Swift vinyl at checkout! The chill atmosphere and approachable, relatable staff put customers at ease and make perusing the inventory a fun and satisfying way to spend an hour (or afternoon - seriously… there’s so much to find you could spend all day inside!).
Loud Pizza’s tagline is “always fresh & always loud.” The bright green accents, vibrant branding, and quirky “take out box” packaging paired with an inventory that’s always evolving means that each visit is a brand new dopamine-fueled experience. You’ll feel like you’ve stepped into “Trax” from John Hughes’ “Pretty in Pink,” and it doesn’t get much cooler than that.
