Freddy's

Iconic/NotableCicero (suburb) · Italian/Pizza Community-sourced, unverified
📍 1600 S 61st Ave, Cicero, IL 60804

Freddy's Pizza in Cicero is a combined deli, grocery market, and pizza restaurant that Joe Quercia bought in 1973, starting as a corner grocery before growing into one of Chicago-area food media's most written-up counter-service spots -- Steve Dolinsky marked its 65th anniversary in a dedicated piece.

$$

The site's own homepage puts it simply: there aren't many places like Freddy's anymore, and it's a place people return to for memories. Pizza is sold by weight at the counter rather than off a printed menu; Sicilian-style bread pizza, lemon chicken, and house-made gelato (14% milk, no eggs) are the standout orders.

Cash only. Closed Sundays.
