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.
