Paisans is an Italian word for friends, but to us, it also means family. Family has always been at the center of Paisans’ beginning and the driving force behind its success. Paisans Pizza was started by Luigi, an immigrant to the United States, in 1985. In a small corner store in Cicero, Illinois, Luigi started making pizzas out of a household kitchen oven. Shortly after, Luigi was joined by his son Pete, fulfilling orders one at a time using hand-written tickets hanging from clothespins in their tiny kitchen.

Pete spent the next 30 years expanding the business, while also refining the Paisans brand and menu. He did this while always remembering what got us here: our famous pizza and award-winning wings.

Staying true to the idea of family, Pete brought in his boys to help him take the Paisans concept to the next level. Mentoring his sons in their new roles, Pete involves them in every aspect of the restaurant business.

This place is big and loud inside. A large menu, we were interested in the pizza we heard so much about. We ordered a sausage and mushroom on their extra thin crust. Their extra thin crust is thicker than most Chicago thin crust pizzas but wasn’t bad. The sauce is sweet just like I heard on previous reviews. I’m not a fan of sweet sauce but my wife liked it. Service was great. Prices are kinda high. If I go back I’ll try a burger.

The meatballs are very good, I could make a meal out of them. My husband got pizza which was also very good. Service is excellent and the owner is always there making everyone feel welcome. We also enjoyed watching gymnastics on the sports screen.
