Get to Know Antioch Pizza Shop

Antioch Pizza is more than just another pizza franchise. Our pizza shops combine the business model of a larger chain with the hometown feel of an independent pizzeria. We’re committed to one simple goal: making everyone a regular. Since 1977, we’ve done just that in communities throughout Illinois and Wisconsin. Between our handmade pizza, fresh salads, comforting pastas, and tasty sandwiches, there’s something for everyone in the family to fall in love with. Every menu item is made with pride, care, and premium ingredients.

And we don’t stop there. We stand behind the unbeatable quality and taste of our menu items, but it takes more than great food to become part of a community. We’re committed to giving back to the neighborhoods we serve through community service, fundraisers, and charitable donations. Community leaders know that Antioch Pizza is an asset to their area.

Fresh, Local, and Original

For more than four decades, Antioch Pizza has been serving up hometown comfort to families in Illinois and Wisconsin. We never skimp on quality, and we’re proud to say that our recipes haven’t changed a bit! Everything from the hearty portions we serve to the ingredients we use are the same as day one. We still start every pie with hand-kneaded dough, premium California and Wisconsin cheeses, fresh produce, delicious meats, and – of course – our secret sauce. Antioch Pizza is an authentic slice of home for generations of pizza lovers.
