Little Joe’s has been feeding families for 60 years<br />

Little Joe’s Restaurant has been feeding<br />

families in the Chicago area for 60 years<br />

— a feat its owners attribute to consistently<br />

good food and a heart for its clientele.<br />

On the menu: A large pizza menu includes<br />

thin crust, deep dish, stuffed and<br />

individual gourmet pizzas with more than<br />

two dozen topping choices. Offerings are<br />

the same at each of the three locations.<br />

Other menu items vary somewhat at each<br />

location. In addition to pizza, the restaurant<br />

has “made-in-house” pastas, including<br />

traditional lasagna. Chicken, fish, sausage<br />

and veal dishes are among the full<br />

meal choices, and a number of Americanstyle<br />

sandwiches and wraps are available<br />

for lunch or dinner.<br />

Specialties: “Little Joe’s Favorites,”<br />

include Giombatta Alla Suzi, a homemade<br />

sausage, onion, green pepper, potato<br />

and garlic dish; Pollo Chantel, a lightly<br />

breaded chicken breast with cream, mushrooms,<br />

white wine and “a touch of red<br />

sauce”; and Steak Italiano with filet medallions,<br />

sun-dried tomatoes, garlic and<br />

olive oil over rigatoni.<br />

About the owners: Sue Vazquez and<br />

her husband Gerardo “Abey” Vazquez<br />

met at the original Little Joe’s on 63rd<br />

Street in Chicago. That pizzeria was<br />

founded by her father, Patrick Albergo,<br />

and his partner, Joe Pierre, who opened<br />

their eatery on Sept. 19, 1958, the day Sue<br />

Vazquez was born.<br />

Decor: Vazquez characterizes the decor<br />

in all three locations as having a “Tuscany<br />

feel” but refers to the recently renovated<br />

Frankfort location as the “most beautiful,”<br />

with the most banquet space.<br />

Specialties: Little Joe’s is known for its<br />

homemade Italian salad dressing, which<br />

complements several of the restaurant’s<br />

nine salad choices, including the Mediterranean<br />

selection.<br />

Vazquez said Little Joe’s steaks are<br />

hand cut and “fresh, never frozen.”<br />

“People are very surprised and very<br />

delighted to have one of our steaks,” she<br />

said.<br />

Prices: Appetizers start at $5.25, and<br />

meat sandwich prices start at $6.25, with<br />

a choice of two sides. Classic pasta dinners<br />

start at $9.95, and pasta specialty<br />

dishes range from $12.50 to $18.75. Meat<br />

and fish entrees start at $14.95.<br />
