Downtown Oswego is getting an option for Neapolitan and ultra thin pizzas.
From Shaw Local, Billy Bricks Pizza will debut a new brick-and-mortar at 5 S Madison Street in the village’s downtown this year. The company currently operates 11 locations, including a Moo Joe’s Ice Cream in Evanston. CEO of Billy Bricks Restaurant Group Ric Gruber did not want to announce an opening date as the company is still determining when to break ground.
Billy Brick’s has been around for 20 years and is known as “Illinois’ original Neapolitan & New Haven inspired pizzeria,” from their website. Locations offer options such as BBQ chicken & gouda, classic margherita and veggie pies. Gluten-free pizzas are also available.
The company has been expanding in the last year, with the newest location being Moo Joe’s Ice Cream on Central Street in Evanston. The first concept, Brix Wood Fired Pizza in downtown Lombard, opened in 2005. Since then, the demand for brick-oven pizza spread across the suburbs, and now the team is landing in Oswego.
“While there were only 5 wood fired brick ovens serving Neapolitan style pizza in all of Chicagoland when we opened in 2005, today there are over 150,” says a quote from the owners on their website.
The downtown location will be near Jefferson street, close to Freddie’s Off The Chain Mexican Cuisine. Billy Bricks will be the first designated pizza restaurant in the downtown, with most concepts being on the east side of the city.
As it gets closer to the opening date, Billy Bricks Restaurant Group will be releasing more information about their Oswego restaurant.
