About Chicago's Historic Little Italy
Located in Chicago's Little Italy, Pompei is an Italian restaurant and bakery established in 1909. It serves traditional Southern Italian meals made from recipes passed down through five generations, alongside bread, cheese pizza, and its distinctive Pizza Strudel. The menu has expanded from the original bakery while retaining the family's Italian cooking traditions. Guests can order for dine-in, carryout, delivery, or drive-up service. Pompei also provides catering, gift certificates, and private party rooms for small gatherings. The Chicago location serves lunch and dinner seven days a week at 1531 W. Taylor St. in the Near West Side neighborhood. A second location operates in Elmwood Park, extending the family business beyond its original Little Italy setting.
