SINCE 1997
Opening in 1997, we were the first and only pizzeria in south Naperville.
In the two decades since the first pizza hit the oven there were a lot of changes: a construction boom, Neuqua Valley High School opened, and the town grew to more than 150,000 residents.
But through all of it, one thing stayed the same. Naperville residents stayed loyal to Little Italian Pizza and to owner John Pendexter’s commitment to quality service, fresh ingredients, and the community he still calls home.

THE HEART OF THE KITCHEN
SAME OVEN SINCE 1997
This deck oven has been cooking pizza since the day we opened. Not a replacement, not a remodel, the same oven that made the very first pie in 1997 is still making pies today.
There is something to be said for a kitchen that never had to relearn how to make your favorite pizza. Same heat, same deck, same result, every single time.

WHAT WE STAND FOR
The Same Values Since Day One
Fresh Ingredients
We keep it simple. Fresh ingredients, made to order, and the kind of quality you can taste from the first bite to the last.
Consistent Quality
Pizza night should never be a gamble. We focus on doing the basics right, every time, so you know exactly what you are getting.
Friendly Service
A lot of our team has been here for years. That matters, because familiar faces and great service make every order easier.
