Eater Chicago recently spotlighted Uncle Jerry’s Pizza in Cary as one of the best suburban dining destinations — a well-deserved honor for a pizzeria that’s as much about heart as it is about flavor.
For owner Jerry Czerwinski, better known as Uncle Jerry, it all started with a craving for the Chicago-style pizza he grew up on. After moving with his wife Nancy to Cary, Jerry missed those iconic deep-dish Fridays on the North Side — so he decided to bring that taste home. With a 25-pound bag of flour, endless trial and error, and a whole lot of family love, Jerry perfected his recipe and opened Uncle Jerry’s Pizza Company.
The result? A buttery, crispy crust, tangy sauce, and the kind of flavor that earned an impressive 8.3 One Bite score from Barstool Sports’ Dave Portnoy — a score that puts Uncle Jerry’s among the best-reviewed pizzerias.
Now, with both Eater Chicago and One Bite giving their stamp of approval, Uncle Jerry’s isn’t just a local favorite — it’s officially on the map as one of Chicagoland’s must-try pizza destinations.
Stop by and try for yourself. Uncle Jerry’s Pizza 133 W Main St, Cary, IL 60013
