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.

So when I first entered I was greeted by a very polite young man who explained to me I would need to be searched. I didn't understand at first because I've never gotten searched to enter a restaurant. So I allowed this because I was meeting a friend and she was in route. Has Chicago gotten so bad that at 4pm on a weekday you have to be searched to get a decent meal on the Westside? Other then that and a little slow service the atmosphere was great the food was fantastic and the prices were reasonable. So I can give them four stars. But I suggest a discreet metal detector because I would never bring my business clients to a place and have to be physically searched
