Candlelite was recently featured in Eater Chicago's updated guide to Chicago's Best Tavern-Style Thin-Crust Pizza Restaurants and we couldn't be more honored.
For generations, we've been serving the kind of square-cut pizza that keeps Rogers Park coming back for another slice.
No trends.
No shortcuts.
Just a Chicago tradition that's stood the test of time.
If you've been here before, you already know.
If you haven't... this is your sign. 😉
