A Brief History

Nonnie's Pizza has been family owned and operated since 1985, a refreshing raity in today's corporate world. However the recipes have been passed down through family dating back to 1961. Louise (Non) and Bob started Ledo's Pizza in Countryside way back then and the seed was planted. Their children Bob Jr., Jimmy, and Louise grew up in the business and worked very hard to bring many years of success for Ledo's. Then in the early 80's when daughter Louise and her husband Tim Sr. were planning to open a business of their own, they were struggling to come up with a name for their restaurant. They have four boys, Tim Jr., Tony, Nick and Rick.
Tony came up with the idea that since they were inherting the family trade from Grandma Non why not honor her name. The boys, Tim Sr., and Louise all loved the idea and hence the name Nonnie's Pizza.

Tim Sr., Louise, and the boys sacrificed a lot to get the original Nonnies off the ground. The family sold everything and packed the six of them in a two-bedroom aprtment. They soon became the corner pizza place and neighborhood bar on Woodward Avenue in Woodridge for 16 years.

In 2001, after years of serving the community with their personal family touch, they made a move just around the corner to the present location at 1565 W. 75th Street. However, the location was the only thing that changed. The family is still working hard to provide the best possible service and food around.
