Joe's Italian Villa

Joe's Italian Villa We are a family owned and operated pizza restaurant, started in 1947 by the original Frank Serio. So stop in and try us, you won’t be disappointed!
(1021)

Family owned for three generations by the Serio Family, the original Italian Villa was established in 1947 at 63rd and Stewart in Chicago. The restaurant moved to the present location in 1968 and has been a family tradition ever since. Today Joe’s Italian Villa is run by Frank Serio, and has been the choice for the best thin crust pizza in the Chicagoland area. The Chicago tribune rated them ”One of the Best” and has been written up by the Sun-Times and the Southtown Star. With friendly staff and great service, there is no better place to relax and enjoy a great pizza or an authentic Italian dinner. At Joe’s all of our soups are homemade by Reenie and only the freshest ingredients are used. The Italian Beef, Italian Sausage, and meatballs are our own recipe and are made on the premises. Located close to Midway Airport, the Chicago Fire’s Toyota Park and minutes off I-294, it is easy to find us in Palos Heights. DINE IN SPECIALS
MONDAY: Spaghetti with one Meatball, $8.00
TUESDAY: 25% of any whole pizza
WEDNESDAY: Beef Sandwich with Melted Cheese $7.75
THURSDAY: Lasagna Dinner $9.00

We have dine in, our own delivery drivers, or pick up, curbside if requested.

🚨 OK, BEEF PEOPLE… WE NEED ANSWERS. 🚨

We already know Italian beef is one of those foods where everybody has an opinion. 😂

But we just saw something that got us thinking…

IF you add cheese to your Italian beef, where does it belong?

🧀 A: Melted directly onto the bread FIRST, then the beef goes on top.

🔥 B: Beef first, cheese on TOP so it melts all over the beef.

😳 C: Cheese on an Italian beef?! Absolutely not.

And because we know this is coming…

💦 BONUS QUESTION: Dry, dipped, or somewhere in between?

👇 Sound off in the comments. We have a feeling this one could get controversial.

🥣 You asked, we listened — here’s this week’s soup lineup at Joe’s!

So many of you have been asking what soups Reenie is making each day, so we’re going to do our best to keep you posted!

Our plan is to post the first half of the week on Sundays, then check back in Wednesday or Thursday with the weekend lineup. Of course, Reenie still gets a little creative freedom — so if she decides to change things up, we’re going with it. ❤️

This week at Joe’s staring 9.21.26

🍲 Monday: Cream of Chicken Gnocchi
🥣 Tuesday: Reenie’s Chicken Dumpling — because some traditions don’t change!
🍜 Wednesday: Chicken Noodle
🥄 Thursday: Split Pea

Then of course we have our homemade minestrone everyday!

Come grab a cup, bowl, pint, or even a quart while it lasts!

And keep an eye out later this week for the weekend soups. 👀

👨‍🍳 NEXT TEAM SPOTLIGHT: MEET JACK! 🍕

If you’ve ever enjoyed a pizza from Joe’s, you’ve enjoyed the results of Jack’s hard work!

For more than 30 years, Jack has been the master behind our dough—making it from scratch, carefully weighing each portion, and rolling it to just the right size. His experience, consistency, and craftsmanship help make every Joe’s pizza special.

Jack is one of the many dedicated people working behind the scenes to carry on the traditions our customers have loved for generations.

Thank you, Jack, for more than three decades of hard work and for being such an important part of the Joe’s family! ❤️🍕

Be sure to say hello to Jack in the comments!

Made from scratch by the one and only Reenie, just like she’s been doing at Joe’s for years. ❤️
Come grab a bowl while it lasts!

💳 A little thing we think matters.

You’ve probably noticed that more and more businesses are adding a credit card processing fee when you pay with a card.

At Joe’s, we’ve made the decision not to pass that fee along to you.

Credit card processing fees are a real expense for us — just like electricity, payroll, pizza bags, and all the other costs that come with running a restaurant.

But the way we look at it, accepting credit cards is simply part of doing business today. If we choose to accept them, we feel the cost of accepting them belongs to us — not you.

So whether you pay with cash or card, the price on the menu is the price you pay. ❤️🍕

It may be a small thing, but it’s one of the ways we want to take care of the people who continue to support our little family-owned restaurant.

Thank you, as always, for supporting Joe’s Italian Villa. ❤️

Apparently Facebook likes when businesses ask people to LIKE & FOLLOW their page… so here we are. 😂

We’re just a humble little family-owned pizza place in Palos Heights, making all of the things homemade, just like we always have — meatballs, Italian beef, sausage links, lasagna, and an entire pizza made from scratch, from the dough to the sauce. Even our sausage is homemade, and our cheese is a blend of three cheeses. Of course, there’s Reenie’s soup, too, along with introducing you to some of the characters who make Joe’s what it is and occasionally starting very serious arguments about things like whether pepperoni belongs under or over the cheese. 🍕😂

So if you enjoy following along, do us a little favor and LIKE & FOLLOW our page.

And if you already do — THANK YOU. Seriously. ❤️

Every like, comment, share, recommendation and person you tell about Joe’s helps a little family-owned place like ours more than you probably realize.

🍕 MONDAY IS A GREAT NIGHT FOR PIZZA.

Actually… who are we kidding? Every night is a great night for pizza. 😂

But there’s something about starting the week with a hot, crispy, square-cut Joe’s pizza that just makes Monday a little easier.

No cooking. No dishes. No figuring out what’s for dinner.

Just pizza. 🍕❤️

And football fans… keep an eye on us. 👀🏈
We’ve got something coming for Monday nights once the regular season kicks off.

Wednesday at Joe’s just feels like a good idea. 🍕❤️

You’ve made it halfway through the week. We think that deserves pizza.

Thin & crispy, deep dish, stuffed… or skip the decision altogether and get whatever you’ve been thinking about since you started reading this. 😂

And remember—dinners, sandwiches and burgers now come with your choice of soup or salad, whether you’re dining in or taking it home.

It’s a gorgeous Wednesday in Chicago. Come hungry. We’ll handle the rest.
