Chicagos Pizza

In 1979, Bob McDonald and Ron Epple founded Chicago’s Pizza. They started with a simple formula that consisted of quality ingredients and a dedication to excellence.

With their key ingredients of daily handmade dough, freshly made pizza sauce and high quality cheese and toppings, they perfected the craft of the same quality pizza that customers enjoy today.

After developing their pizza formula, they established their first Chicago’s Pizza in Beech Grove, Ind., in 1979. This location instantly became a staple in the town and high demand bolstered their growth into other successful locations.

Bob and Ron realized that the secret wasn’t just in their pizza sauce, but also in the owners of their Chicago’s Pizza restaurants. Knowing this, they created a business model in which owner/operators would oversee each location. In doing so, they established the Chicago’s Pizza family.
