Founder Eleanor Corso named Angie’s Restaurant and Pizzeria after her late husband Angelo “Angie” Corso, a bartender who dreamed of serving up steaming Chicago-style pizzas instead of beers and shots. Still staffed by Eleanor and Angelo’s children 39 years later, the eatery offers today’s patrons a comfortable neighborhood feel on the southside of Chicago. Red booths seat families and local regulars inside the brick-walled dining room which is large enough to host parties and events. Waiters pile tables with pizza, sandwiches, and classic Italian entrees along with their house specials.
