Whoa. Did you see this? A warm chocolate chip cookie, served straight from a cast iron skillet, topped with melting ice cream and whipped cream.

Believe it or not, some people come here just for this, not our pizza! Yeah, it's as good as it looks — and it's big enough to share (if you want to).

We love it hot out of the oven. We love serving it you fresh on the table. We love it even more with a glass of red at the bar.

Our Chicago neighborhood classic pairs perfectly with w**e — and on Mondays, bottles are half off. Love it twice.

Weekends just got a lot more delicious at Candlelite. 🎉

Starting this Friday, two new items hit the menu — but only Friday through Sunday, so plan your visit accordingly.

Chicken Parm Sandwich – $17.95
Breaded chicken breast, marinara sauce, melted mozzarella, and fresh parsley, piled onto a toasted French roll. Comes with your choice of side — but if you ask us, go with the fries.

Soft Pretzel – $9.95
Warm, soft pretzel finished with kosher salt, served with a side of Merkts cheese for dipping. Simple, classic, and dangerously easy to finish solo.

Weekdays, you'll just have to wait. Come see us this weekend before it's gone. 😋

Introducing our Pizza of the Month — and September's is a showstopper. 🍕

Say hello to our Chicken Alfredo Pizza: classic thin crust, tavern style, loaded with grilled chicken, fresh parsley, broccoli, and a rich, creamy alfredo sauce, all finished with melted mozzarella. It's comfort food and pizza night, all in one slice.

But here's the catch — this one's only around through the end of September. Once it's gone, it's gone. If you've been meaning to stop in, this is your sign. Don't say we didn't warn you. ⏳

Looks like the secret's out. 🍕

Candlelite was recently featured in Eater Chicago's updated guide to Chicago's Best Tavern-Style Thin-Crust Pizza Restaurants and we couldn't be more honored.

For generations, we've been serving the kind of square-cut pizza that keeps Rogers Park coming back for another slice.

No trends.

No shortcuts.

Just a Chicago tradition that's stood the test of time.

If you've been here before, you already know.

If you haven't... this is your sign. 😉
