Price: Moderate
• Italian • Midway
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.

    I've dined a few times at Moretti's-Bedford Park and have always enjoyed the Italian food dishes I've ordered. This time I tried the Total Package Burger, and it was out of this world! And huge! It was served with a very generous helping of delicious fries. One of my friends ordered the Jack Daniels Burger and couldn't stop raving about it throughout the whole meal. Two others at the table had Broasted Chicken dinners, which they loved. And, as has been my experience in past visits, the service was excellent. We were greeted warmly when we arrived and were seated, and our server, Daniel, was friendly, attentive, and efficient. Very highly recommended!!!
