The story
The original Chicago Thanksgiving pizza.
Our chefs have been making the Thanksgiving Turkey Pizza in our own kitchen since 2012, and every fall we gave free slices to our customers. We started selling it in 2019. It has come back every November since, and Fox 32 Chicago called it the “original Chicago Thanksgiving pizza.”
Chef Mike Haracz tried our Thanksgiving Turkey Pizza slice and gave it a 9 out of 10. His review took off on TikTok, and Fox 32 Chicago featured the pizza in November 2024, then again in 2025. The Daily Herald covered its return in 2024 and 2025.
Everything here is made from scratch. The turkey is slow-cooked and herb-roasted, the gravy is ours and the potatoes are real Idaho mashed. That prep is why it’s a Saturday thing, and why it only runs in November.
