About Clara’s
Our story begins with Anthony and Celeste Lizio, who came to the United States in the early 1930’s from Sant’Angelo all’Esca – a small town an hour outside of Naples, Italy. Celeste grew up in her mother’s café learning the recipes she would eventually hand down to her children and grandchildren. Once in the United States, Anthony and Celeste (with their four children) opened a small grocery store that grew to become Kedzie Beer Garden (later named Celeste’s). As their food grew in popularity, the family opened a wholesale business that became Celeste Frozen Pizza when Quaker Oats bought the company.
Clara (Celeste’s daughter) opened her namesake restaurant on March 13, 1987. Clara was in the kitchen, her husband Rudy Sr. at the bar and their four children learning the recipes and traditions just as their mother and grandmother before them. And just like her mother Celeste, people came from far and wide to enjoy Clara’s wonderful creations. Clara’s is now under the watchful eye of the next generation. Rudy Jr, along with his wife Dawn and three children are bringing customers the traditions and recipes of Celeste and Clara.
