Chicago Thinz restaurant

About Chicago Thinz

Real Chicago food, made with heart, served in Manitowoc.

Our Story

Where We Come From

Chicago Thinz was born out of a deep love for authentic Chicago street food. We grew up eating Vienna Beef dogs, thin crust pizza, and Italian beef — and we wanted to bring that same experience to Manitowoc.

After 12+ years working Vienna Beef food shows and helping set up Chicago-style restaurants across the region, we knew it was time to open our own place. Every recipe we serve is rooted in the real thing.

We're not a chain. We're not a franchise. We're a family that loves Chicago food and works hard every single day to make sure you taste the difference.

How We Do It

Dedication

Every item on our menu is the result of years of commitment to getting it right. We don't cut corners — we show up every day and put in the work because our customers deserve nothing less.

Hard Work

Our pizza sauce is made fresh daily — a true Chicago recipe with no shortcuts. It's the foundation of every pie we make, and you can taste the difference.

Humbleness

We're proud of what we do, but we never stop learning. We listen to our community, stay true to our roots, and remember that the best thing we can do is keep serving great food with gratitude.
