Pizza Joint
About Us
Rich Labriola was born and raised on the East Side of Blue Island, which may seem like an unusual starting place for one of the nation’s top artisan bakers and most successful bakery entrepreneurs. As a child, Rich would hide in the back seat of the car while his father drove to their family pizzeria so he could work side by side with his Dad making pizzas. As a young man, Rich held a series of jobs that did not spark his passion, but he knew that his intense drive and passion for quality and would best be served by starting his own business. In 2008, Rich opened his first restaurant - the Labriola Bakery Café & Neapolitan Pizzeria in Oak Brook, IL. This Café is highly successful and has been featured prominently in the Chicago Tribune, The Chicago Sun-Times, WGN-TV and several other media outlets.
Rich has applied his entrepreneurial zeal to build the Doughboy Restaurant Group, which includes the Labriola Bakery Café in Oak Brook, LaBarra Ristorante locations in Oak Brook, and Labriola Chicago at 535 N. Michigan Avenue.
The menu will feature Labriola Chicago's award-winning Deep Dish in an iconic Handheld Deep Dish version as well as Grandma slices, New York style slices, and select salads. Pizza Joint will be serving up perfect options for slices on the-go without sacrificing any of the quality!
