Chicago's famous Connie's Pizza at South Archer and Normal Avenues. Chicago Illinois USA. June 2008.

Chicago's Connie's Pizza at South Archer and Normal Avenues. Chicago Illinois. August 2008.

A popular local food favorite of the southside of Chicago, is deep dish pizza.

Seen here at South Archer and Normal Avenues in Chicago's Bridgeport neighborhood, is Chicago's very own Connie's Pizza. Connue's Pizza started out in the early 1960's at a small location on West 26th Street in Chicago's Bridgeport neighborhood east of South Halsted Street.

My family discovered Connie's when they were still at the small location during the late 1970's, and began eating there regularly.

Around 1983, they bought out the site of a recent closed junk yard at South Archer and Normal Avenues, and built this brick factory style building, and soon franchised.

I still enjoy an occasional slice or two of deep dish Connie's Pizza today.
