Chicago icon honors milestone with deals and giveaways for longtime fans<\/h2>\n

CHICAGO<\/span><\/em> (Aug. 4, 2025) \u2013 <\/span>Leona\u2019s Pizzeria & Restaurant<\/span><\/a>, the veteran-owned Chicago favorite known for serving \u201c<\/span>Chicago\u2019s Original Pizza<\/span><\/em>,\u201d is celebrating its 75<\/span>th<\/sup><\/span> anniversary with a special one-day event on Thursday, Aug. 14.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To honor the guests who\u2019ve made Leona\u2019s a staple for 75 years, the brand will serve 75-cent personal pizzas* to the first 75 VIP Rewards members at each location. The first 75 guests age 75 or older will also receive a free full-sized pizza** \u2014 a nod to those who\u2019ve been around since the very beginning.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCelebrating 75 years is an incredible milestone and it\u2019s all thanks to the generations of loyal guests who have supported us through the decades,\u201d said Billy Marino, CEO and owner of Leona\u2019s. \u201cWe\u2019ve always taken pride in being a place where good food and good company come together. It\u2019s been an honor to carry on the Leona’s legacy and continue serving the community we love.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Founded in 1950 by Leona Pianetto Molinaro Szemla in Chicago\u2019s Lakeview neighborhood, Leona\u2019s quickly became a city icon, known not only for its pizzas, but also for pioneering innovations like branded delivery cars and signage in the early 1950s.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, Leona\u2019s continues to build on that legacy under Marino\u2019s leadership, as the Chicago staple is transitioning to a quick service model. The newly opened McHenry location features Leona\u2019s first drive-thru designed to minimize wait time and ensure a more efficient guest experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

Leona\u2019s offers a signature lineup of Chicago-style pizzas \u2014 including thin crust, stuffed deep dish, Sicilian and pan \u2014 made with time-honored recipes and premium ingredients. The menu also features Italian-American comfort food like hearty pastas, flatbread sandwiches, crisp salads and shareable sides.<\/span><\/p>\n

The brand currently has four restaurants in the greater Chicagoland area: with locations in the west loop, Irving Park, Lyons and McHenry.<\/span><\/p>\n

Guests are encouraged to stop by their nearest location on Aug. 14 to join the celebration, enjoy a 75-cent pizza and \u2014 if they\u2019re 75 or older \u2014 receive a full-sized pie on the house.<\/span><\/p>\n
