Chicago Thin Crust Pizza
Ask a Chicago local: real Chicago pizza is thin. Crispy crust, toppings edge to edge, cut in squares. Build yours, made to order in our stone oven.

Tavern-style
Deep dish is for visitors.
Chicago’s everyday pizza started in neighborhood taverns: a thin, crispy crust sturdy enough to hold its toppings, sauce and cheese out to the edge, and square cuts so everyone could grab a piece. That’s the pizza we make every day.
Part of Frato’s lineup of pizza in Schaumburg: specialty pizzas, Chicago thin crust, one-pound slices and gyro pizza.
Every whole pizza is made to order with Frato’s cheese blend: buffalo milk mozzarella, whole milk mozzarella and provolone.
