The Hottest New Restaurants in Chicago, November 2024

"Candlelite is a beloved pizzeria specializing in Chicago thin crust and has been a Rogers Park fixture since 1950. Ownership has opened a second location in Lincoln Park, along Kingsbury, in partnership with the iO Theater. They’re handling food and beverage service inside the venue. The service is welcoming, a family-friendly space with TVs to watch Chicago’s sad sports teams. The pizza is tasty, and can also be ordered during shows — servers will bring them to your table inside the actual theater. The famous skillet brownie sundae remains decadent." - Ashok Selvam

A Guide to Chicago-Style Pizza

"For more than 70 years, Candlelite has been one of Chicago’s most popular tavern-style pizza institutions. The original location is in the Rogers Park neighborhood, and its famous cracker-thin crust has earned a loyal following, especially for the Candlelite White Pizza. Now with a second location in Lincoln Park at the iO Improv Theater, the popular pizzeria is available closer to downtown." - Tori Allen

"Candlelite Pizza, one of our favorite spots for tavern-style pizza, opened a second location in Lincoln Park. Like the original, you’ll find plenty of space, bar food, and signature pies topped with ingredients like BBQ pulled pork from Hecky’s in Evanston. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation

This location just opened and is such an amazing addition to the neighborhood. The pizza was amazing—perfect for sharing. The personal-sized pizzas made it easy to try a few different flavors, and every one we ordered was on point. The perfect Chicago tavern pizza. The chicken tenders were next level—crispy and exactly what you’d hope. Their signature ranch is so good, coming from someone who doesn’t care about ranch. The wings were another highlight, cooked perfectly. We were able to order half mild and half hot. The cheesecake was also sooo good. They also have great cocktails; the margaritas were a hit with our group! This place has a great vibe, perfect for hanging out with friends, catching a game, or stopping by before/after hitting the comedy show next door. They also have a patio! Special thanks to their general manager, Fritz, who made our night feel extra special. Highly recommend stopping by! Can’t wait to go back!

Wonderful service, staff, and pizza! I accidentally threw an entire pizza on the floor and everyone was so gracious about it. They brought us a new one and took the first one off the bill even though they did not need to! We will be coming back for more food and trivia! The pic is of the second pizza which was equally delicious! Bacon, green pepper, and goat cheese

Pizza RULES here. Seriously we are so excited to find this location. Cracker crust, perfect cheese…. Highly recommenced the Candlelight white. Roasted garlic and perfect combo of cheese… $5 beer specials. The people who work here seem really nice too. Good service. The only thing we will note is maybe don’t sit outside if you’re on a date. Noise from the street and parking garage next door can be distracting. Inside is lovely.

Fritz is a stand up guy. Went out of his way to service my job and coworkers with some of his fantastic Tavern Style Pizza, one of the best I’ve honestly had in Chicago !! From the crunch and flakiness of the dough, to the high quality meats and cheeses used. They go above and beyond here and i will most definitely be back.

Such a great addition to the neighborhood, echoing the amazing pizza and service from their far north side location. The venue and service is top notch, and you can easily make a few date nights here with all of the comedy specials in the joint venue.

Mehh… the pizza was crispy and thin but burnt. We ordered take out and it was tasteless too. Didn’t see the burnt until we got home. 👎 my kids won’t eat a burnt pizza.

An awesome addition to the neighborhood. Pizza was a perfect cracker crust. Some of the best curds outside of Wisconsin. I was pleasantly surprised by the variety on the menu. I'm excited to come back and try their salads, wraps and sandwiches. Thank you, Michael, for wonderful service.

Just finished dinner with a group of five. Three shared the Candlelite pizza..the large size along with a chopped salad. Apparently if you like garlic, you’ll love this pizza. I was thrilled to see a GF alternative while my hubby enjoyed a cheese pizza. One suggestion: have mints available for after consuming the Candlelite pizza; it has whole roasted cloves of yummy garlic!!
