Questions
Pizza of the Month questions, answered.
Can I still order a pizza from the Hall of Fame?
Only when it’s back. Our specialty pizza changes every month, and it’s on the menu every Saturday that month. The Thanksgiving Turkey Pizza returns every November, the Irish Reuben Pizza every March and the Tikka Masala Mac n Cheese Pizza every June.
How do I get this month's specialty pizza?
Walk in on a Saturday for a 1-pound slice, or order the full pizza online. This month’s pizza is always on our Saturday Pizza page.
What is the high school pizza competition?
Culinary students from local high schools, including Elk Grove, Conant and Schaumburg, each design a pizza that has to taste great, cost out and be quick enough to make in our kitchen. Customers vote by buying slices and filling out comment cards, and the winning pizza goes on our menu.
Did any student winners end up working at Frato's?
Yes. The 2018 Conant winner joined our paid culinary apprenticeship while studying culinary arts in college, and a year later created our Spicy Italian Pizza.
