Candlelite Lincoln Park is your go-to hangout for delicious tavern-style thin crust pizza, complete with a lively vibe, spacious seating, and the perfect pre-show snack.
"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
"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
