Our Story
One neighborhood.
A lot of pizza nights.
When Little Italian Pizza West opened in 1997, we were the first and only pizzeria in South Naperville. The neighborhood grew, Neuqua Valley High School opened, and new families made this corner of town their home.
Through it all, our commitment stayed the same: fresh ingredients, quality service, and pizza made for the community we call home. Owner John Pendexter and the same family have kept that tradition going.
From a quick lunch to the family’s Friday-night order, we’re proud to be part of the everyday moments that bring our neighbors together.


The Heart of the Kitchen
Same family.
Same oven.
Since 1997.
The deck oven that cooked our very first pizza is still at work today. It’s a familiar part of a kitchen that has been serving this neighborhood since day one.
There’s comfort in coming back to a favorite. The same oven, familiar faces, and a team that cares about getting your order right.
What We Stand For
Simple things.
Done with care.
Good pizza starts with the basics. These are the values we’ve carried with us since the beginning.
Fresh ingredients.
Fresh ingredients and food made to order. Quality you can taste, from your first bite to your last.
A familiar favorite.
We focus on consistency, so your next pizza night feels as good as the one you remember.
Friendly service.
Long-time team members, familiar faces, and a warm welcome when you call or stop by.
Made for Your Table
Your hometown.
Your pizza.
Your favorite.
We’re a carryout and delivery pizzeria. Our food goes where your evening takes you: home with the family, a game-night gathering, or a well-earned night off from cooking.
Choose house, thin, thick, pan, or stuffed pizza, or round out the order with wings, sandwiches, pasta, and salads.
