Finding genuine New York-style pizza in the western suburbs is harder than it should be. Most places sell a thick, bready pie and call it New York. Real New York-style pizza is a different thing entirely — a thin, hand-stretched crust with a crisp bottom and an airy, foldable edge, topped with a bright, slow-cooked tomato sauce and whole-milk mozzarella. That is exactly what we have been making in Naperville since 2014.

Where it all started

Our Naperville shop off Wehrli Road is the original Little Pops — the first location Mike and Vicki opened, and the spot where every recipe we serve across Chicagoland was born. It is a true neighborhood pizzeria built around carry-out and delivery: order a couple of pies for the family, grab dinner on the way home, or feed the whole block for a backyard party.

What makes the pizza New York

It comes down to the dough and the bake. We hand-toss every pie to order, never press it in a machine, and let the crust develop real structure so it holds a slice without flopping or going stiff. The result is the pizza Naperville keeps coming back for — and the same pies that earned us national recognition.

Named the Best New York Pizza in Illinois by The Washington Post.
