For more than seven decades, Candlelite has stood as a North Side classic — a neighborhood gathering place where generations of Chicagoans have come together over our renowned tavern-style pizza, cold beer, and good conversation. Since opening our doors on Western Avenue in 1950, we’ve stayed true to what makes Candlelite special: friendly faces, timeless recipes, and a welcoming atmosphere that feels like home. Whether you’re here to catch a game, share a meal with family, or say hi to owners Pat and Molly Folwer and Pete Vernon, Candlelite is a sign of good times.
