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.
