While supplies last!!!!! A little update on two of our favorites at Forno Pavese! 🪵🔥🍕❤️
Our imported buffalo mozzarella and burrata have been held up this week due to some issues going on over in Italy.
We’re hoping everyone stays safe and everything gets cleared up soon!!
We take a lot of pride in the ingredients we use, and sometimes that means dealing with a few unexpected bumps along the way when sourcing products from Italy.
In the meantime, we wanted to keep everyone updated. We appreciate your patience while supplies last!
Good things are worth waiting for! 🇮🇹❤️

We’ve been doing a little shopping… 🍸🥃🍹😂
And here’s a little sneak peek!

From Italian classics to some of your favorite cocktails, we’re working on putting together a drink menu that we’re excited to share with you.
We’re not quite ready to start pouring everything just yet, but we’re getting very close!
Cocktails coming soon! 🍸🇮🇹
In the meantime, tell us what’s your go-to cocktail? We’d love to hear what everyone likes!

Three different pizzas, one wood-fired oven. 🍕🔥
A Capricciosa, a custom creation, and the classic Margherita. Each one a little different, but all made the same way hand-stretched, quality ingredients and fired up in our wood-burning oven.

Come see what we’re cooking at Forno Pavese!

23 years together, and somehow I continue to love you more with every passing day. ❤️
You still find ways to surprise me, amaze me, and remind me that there is absolutely nothing you can’t do when you put your mind to it. You are my strength, my motivation, and the fuel that keeps me going, even on the hardest days.
We’ve been through so much together, and there’s nobody else I’d rather go through this crazy life with. I’m so proud of you, of us, and of everything we’ve built together.
After 23 years, I can say without a doubt that I would choose you all over again, every single time in this life and everyone after it.
Happy anniversary, my love. I love you more today but not as much as I will tomorrow. I’ll never stop loving you. ❤️

Bears up 14–0, homemade Bloody Mary in hand, and brunch is underway! 🐻⬇️🍹
Not a bad way to spend a Sunday!
We’ve got our house made Bloody Marys flowing, breakfast pizzas coming out of the wood fired oven, and the Bears game on the screens.
Even Ben Johnson made it into the picture! 😂🏈
If you’re looking for somewhere to watch the game, come hang out with us!
Bear Down! 🧡💙

We thought we were done for the night… then realized we only had a couple dough balls left for tomorrow. So, back to work we go. 😂
Long day? Yes!! Tired? No time to be lol. But having to stay late and make more dough because you guys kept us busy is something we’ll never complain about.
A few years ago we were making dough for farmers markets and the food truck, dreaming about having a restaurant of our own. Tonight we’re making dough late because you showed up and ate almost everything we prepared.
That’s something to be grateful for. ❤️
Thank you for keeping our oven hot and our hands busy. Tomorrow’s dough is getting ready. 🔥🍕

Some of you have been with us since the food-truck days.
And if you were… you might remember the breakfast pizzas on the weekends. 🍳🍕

Sometimes, even a pizza needs a few seconds to itself. 😂🍕
Straight out of the wood-fired oven, our pizzas take a quick rest on a cooling rack to let the steam escape before it makes its way to your table or into a pizza box. It’s a small step, but it helps keep that beautiful wood-fired crust from getting too soggy.
A little patience goes a long way when it comes to good pizza. 🔥❤️

What people say
Forno Pavese is a must-visit for anyone who loves authentic Neapolitan-style pizza. This family-owned catering business takes pride in using only the finest ingredients, including fresh dough made from imported Italian flour, San Marzano tomatoes, and high-quality mozzarella cheese. The pizzas are hand-stretched and baked in ovens that reach upwards of 900 degrees Fahrenheit, resulting in a perfectly crispy crust with a tender, chewy interior.
What sets Forno Pavese apart is their commitment to bringing the Neapolitan pizza experience right to you. Their mobile ovens can be set up in any outdoor or indoor location, allowing guests to watch as expert pizza-makers create custom pizzas right before their eyes. With a wide variety of toppings to choose from, everyone can find something they love.
The story behind Forno Pavese is also heartwarming - it all began with Tony Pavese's grandfather Papa Dan, who owned a pizzeria in Chicago in the late 50s. Tony spent years self-learning the craft of pizza-making and experimenting with ingredients to perfect his technique. His passion for pizza-making is shared by his family, who help out at events and have grown to love pizza just as much as Tony does.
Overall, Forno Pavese offers not only delicious food but also an unforgettable experience that will leave you wanting more.
