Deno's Pizza | Our Story

Chicago Roots, Brought To Surprise

Chicago Roots, Brought To Surprise

Deno's Pizza began on Chicago's South Side more than 30 years ago, built around the recipes and traditions that made Chicago pizza what it is. In 1998, those recipes made their way to Surprise, Arizona, bringing Deno's signature thin crust and square-cut pizza along with them.

Thin, crisp crust. Cheese and toppings all the way to the edge. Cut into squares and made the way Chicago does it. Moving west didn't mean changing the recipe — Deno's has stayed true to the pizza and traditions that started it all.

From 10-inch pizzas to 18-inch jumbos, Deno's keeps the menu focused on the food it knows best. Signature combinations like the Deno's Special, with sausage, mushrooms, onions, and green peppers, sit alongside Chicago favorites like Italian beef and sausage.

A Place To Keep Coming Back To

Deno's keeps things simple: counter service, dine-in, takeout, and delivery. It's a neighborhood pizza spot with Chicago roots — a place to grab a pizza and enjoy a meal without the fuss.
