Hog Wild

Super GemCicero (suburb) · BBQ Community-sourced, unverified
📍 2305 S Cicero Ave, Cicero, IL 60804

Hog Wild traces back to 1995, when Steve Pikorz walked away from the heating-and-cooling business to open the original Midlothian location; after his death in 2021, the family's franchise arm — the Original Hog Wild II — carried the name outward to Oak Lawn, then New Lenox, and now this Cicero spot, which cut the ribbon on April 22, 2026 with Town of Cicero officials on hand.

The pedigree shows up on the menu: voted best pork chops in Chicago and Illinois' #1 barbecue sauce, and the one-pound pork chop sandwich is still the order people build a visit around, though the Moo & Oink cheeseburger has been quietly winning over first-timers who only came in for the chop. Expect a straightforward BBQ lineup — pulled pork, rib tips, brisket — mostly in the $17-$23 range, dog-friendly seating if you're rolling through with a pet, and a Cicero Ave strip-mall setting that doesn't try to be anything fancier than the food demands.

There's no rotating discount to chase here; the draw is the reputation, not a markdown.
