Our Story

Kim’s Uncle Pizza is made up of a group of three “pizzaurateurs” who started making headlines in 2018 for their free pizza giveaways. Every Friday night Billy, Brad and Cecily would raffle off pizzas through the Instagram account @eatfreepizza to be enjoyed at our Ukrainian Village apartment.

What started as a fun social project/R&D session, turned into a fully realized pizza restaurant when we went on to open Pizza Fried Chicken Ice Cream in Bridgeport, Chicago right at the start of the 2020 pandemic. We stormed the pizza scene first, with our Sicilian Style Squares, then later, our take on Chicago Tavern Style Pizza.

When the idea of buying Uncle Pete’s Pizza was presented to us, we jumped right on board. Brad grew up in Westmont, working at a local pizzeria, so the project brought him full circle to the beginning of his pizza dreams.

We officially opened the doors in the summer of 2022 and we are so thrilled to bring the best Chicago Tavern Style Pizza to Westmont!
