Our dream was to create a restaurant that brought everything we love together in one place. Opening Punky’s Pizza and Pasta gave us the opportunity to do just that.

We have been serving traditional Italian cuisine made from beloved family recipes at the highest standards and in the warmest atmosphere for over a decade. All of our dishes are prepared with fresh and high quality ingredients which allow us to put our very best product on your table.

Punky’s has also given us the opportunity to give back to the neighborhood we love so much. We have a long rich history on the southside of Chicago. Punky was raised in Bridgeport, his wife Marianne was raised in Chinatown and together they raised four children in Bridgeport. Whether it’s supporting one of the local schools, parishes or a community benefit – you can count on Punky’s without a doubt.

17 years after serving our first slice, we would like to thank you. Thank you for supporting us, thank you for sharing your families with us, but most of all thank you for being part of our family. We are nothing without our customers. Thank you for allowing us to do what we love.
