Johnnie's Pizza has been around since 1985. First started coming here in the early 90's when Johnnie was still around. No worries. Same great food with his family members taking the wheel and providing high quality product and enthusiasm that would make their father / grandfather proud.
Took my Dad here while he was in PHX on vacation. He grew up in Chi-town and was craving some thin crust Pizza and a Dog. It was fun listening to him comment about all the fun posters and Chicago item that were decorated all over the walls. We must have heard a dozen stories or more about his past and favorite memories around the city.
Ordered the famous Johnnie's Deluxe Pizza and a Chi-Dog and Fries. My Dad really liked the Dog and scarfed it down rather quickly. The Pizza was so good that even my wife from MN got excited. It had the perfect thin crust with their Homemade Sauce, top secret Homemade Italian Sausage, Pepperoni, Green Peppers, Onions, Mushrooms, Black Olives and extra Cheese. So good!
They also have several other Chicago favorites like the Italian Beef Sandwich, Meatball Sandwich, Beef and Sausage Sandwich and yummy Wings.
This is not a fancy franchise restaurant with high end seating and valet parking. Although it was nicely remodeled recently. Just plain good old fashion quality food with some super happy friendly service.
Come on over and give these local guys a visit. Hands down some of the BEST CHICAGO PIZZA in town. TOUCHDOWN BEARS!
