Real Chicagoans know that tavern-style is the one true king of the city. 👑
"Hey Chicago" just dropped their list of the best pizzerias according to locals, and we’re proud to be in the mix.
What’s your go-to Candlelite topping combo? Let us know in the comments, and read the full article below.
Thank you so much for the support!
Forget deep dish. We asked Chicagoans where to get the city's best tavern-style thin crust pizza. The answers ran from Ashburn to Logan Square.

There’s a reason Chicago cuts pizza this way. 🍕
Square-cut slices. Crispy thin crust. A tray made for sharing over cold beers and loud tables.
At Candlelite, we’ve been serving it up the Northside way for generations — fresh out of the oven and cut into perfect little squares behind the bar every single day.
No trends. No shortcuts. Just a true Chicago classic that’s been getting it right for nearly 80 years.
📍 Rogers Park’s original neighborhood pizza spot.
