JB's Pizza was founded in October of 1998 by Jeff and Sherita, and their five daughters, with the idea that they would bring a quality gourmet pizza shop to Alger Heights. We had no idea what we were in for. But we've come a long way since those hidden in the back parking lot days. It was almost like you had to know someone who knew someone who knew JB's was there, but find us you did!

We believe that was because of our commitment to excellence, quality food, and our down home Mom and Pop ambiance. Thanks to the neighborhoods love of great food, and their support of local community businesses, we've been able to grow and flourish here. So we invite you to come join us and experience something new, (or what some people would say is too crazy to put on a pizza) and we hope to provide you with something to talk about. It's what keeps us going!
