Connie's Pizza is a pizzeria based out of Bridgeport, Chicago, Illinois, United States.
Raymond DeGrazia and his wife, Connie DeGrazia, opened a pizzeria in Bridegport at 638 W. 26th Street.[citation needed]
Jim Stolfe bought the building in 1963, and has kept the name since.[1]
Back in 1963, Jim Stolfe's Oldsmobile Starfire was exchanged for a small storefront pizzeria on 26th Street on Chicago's South Side. That storefront became the original home of Connie's Pizza, one of Chicago's most famous pizzerias. More than 50 years later, the Stolfe family restaurants have become iconic for visitors to Chicago, with a location in one of the city's most-visited venues, McCormick Place. From being the official pizza of the Chicago Bulls, Chicago Blackhawks, Chicago Fire, and The Taste of Chicago, Connie's Pizza has become synonymous with the city, and prides itself on its longstanding family roots.[2]
Connie's was providing pizza to the Chicago White Sox, Cubs, Bulls, Fire, and the Flames.[3]
