Wooden Paddle - Lemont

Iconic/NotableDowntown Lemont · Pizza Community-sourced, unverified
📍 212 Stephen St, Lemont, IL 60439

Wooden Paddle earned its own ABC7 'Hungry Hound' segment for a reason: real wood-fired char on the crust, dough given actual time to develop, and a menu built by chef-owners (husband and wife Jonathan and Brianna Cowan) rather than a franchise playbook.

$$
A husband-and-wife wood-fired pizzeria in downtown Lemont since 2013, featured on ABC7's Hungry Hound, with housemade gelato and a weekend brunch.

It's been running in downtown Lemont since 2013 — long enough to have since spun off a second location in La Grange, which tells you the original is doing something right.

Beyond the pizza itself (names like 'Smoke & Shrooms' and 'Gettin' Figgy With It' suggest a kitchen that's not playing it safe), there's housemade gelato and sorbet for dessert and a weekend brunch worth building a Saturday around.
