Lowcountry (South Loop)

Lowcountry provides a comfortable and backyard-like environment to embrace the culture of social gatherings around a seafood boil.

Pizano's Pizza

I opened Pizano’s in 1991 and this legacy is our foundation. I learned about pizza from my father with that knowledge developed our now famous thin crust pizza that Oprah has called "her favorite" and the USA Today listed as top 10 in the Nation. We feature great food steeped in Italian tradition, skillfully prepared from the highest quality ingredients, and served in an inviting atmosphere in which to celebrate friendship and family.
