Connie's - Frozen Pizza

Connie’s Pizza began in 1963 when Jim Stolfe traded his 1962 Oldsmobile Starfire for a small pizzeria on Chicago’s South Side. Retaining the name “Connie’s,” Stolfe developed a signature pizza dough recipe inspired by his grandmother and a local baker. His small pizza stand quickly grew in popularity, leading him to open his first freestanding location within a year. During the 1970s and 1980s, Connie’s Pizza expanded across Chicago, becoming a staple at venues such as Soldier Field and McCormick Place. The company also pioneered heated pizza delivery trucks, ensuring fresh, hot pizza reached customers even in the coldest Chicago winters. By the 1990s, Connie’s ventured into the frozen pizza market, supplying hotels and grocery stores with high-quality frozen versions of their famous pizzas. Today, Connie’s Pizza remains a Chicago institution, still family-owned and committed to quality. Their frozen pizzas reflect decades of innovation and tradition, bringing the authentic taste of Chicago-style pizza to homes across the country.
