About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Lively
  • Child-friendly
Paisans is an Italian word for friends, but to us, it also means family. Family has always been at the center of Paisans’ beginning and the driving force behind its success. Paisans Pizza was started by Luigi, an immigrant to the United States, in 1985. In a small corner store in Cicero, Illinois, Luigi started making pizzas out of a household kitchen oven. Shortly after, Luigi was joined by his son Pete, fulfilling orders one at a time using hand-written tickets hanging from clothespins in their tiny kitchen.

Pete spent the next 30 years expanding the business, while also refining the Paisans brand and menu. He did this while always remembering what got us here: our famous pizza and award-winning wings.

Staying true to the idea of family, Pete brought in his boys to help him take the Paisans concept to the next level. Mentoring his sons in their new roles, Pete involves them in every aspect of the restaurant business.

    Food and service was very good. Noise level towards the end of our dinner was loud but do not know what you can do about that.

    Good nachos, pizza is average and dragon fries were a waste because we just didn’t like them and left almost all of them. Cool place and would maybe try again.

    We had a reservation for 6:45 PM but weren’t seated until 7:00 PM. The entrance was very crowded with people waiting, and the restaurant was clearly very busy. It took some time before our server greeted us. After ordering, we didn’t receive our food until 8:00 PM, which felt like a long wait. The dragon wing sauce was fantastic—I would definitely return just for the wings. The pizza, on the other hand, was just okay; it had a thicker, doughy crust that wasn’t my favorite. We had considered ordering dessert, but our server brought us the check before we had the chance. Overall, while the food had some highlights, the experience was a bit hit-or-miss. I’m not sure I’d go out of my way to dine here again, but I might stop by for the wings.
