Connie's Pizza was a great choice for our wedding caterer! Off the bat, their food at the tasting was delicious so they were an easy pick. We had the meatballs, fruit skewers, vegg...
ie rolls, alfredo pasta, green beans, caesar salad, chicken and salmon. Some of that were special plates they made only for us as the wedding couple. Throughout the wedding planning process, Tania was very quick to respond, asked all the right questions and offered so many amazing suggestions. On the wedding day, the entire team was so helpful, helped us unload our own decor, and served us amazing food. It all led to us having an amazing wedding and the best day of our lives!

Connie's was the first food vendor I looked at because it appeared within my price range and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I made in planning a 177-person wedding! ...
I believe they will become a "preferred vendor" at the venue (Ignite Glass Studios) as they were great to work with and the food was amazing. I had multiple friends comment on how delicious the food was -- especially out-of-towners who got a true taste of authentic Chicago pizza!
Tania worked with us from start to finish (from scoping/menu planning to execution) and brought professionalism, expertise, and thoroughness to every interaction with me and all other vendors that she had to coordinate with. We were in such great hands. Her composure really made us feel calm throughout all chaotic planning efforts which was truly above and beyond what we could've expected out of a food vendor. I am so thankful!
The staff/caterers at the event were also super professional and kind and did a great job from start to clean-up -- everything was so organized.
Thanks Tania and the Connie's team for the amazing food experience! I would choose Connie's over and over again.

We’ve truly never left a review like this before, but Connie’s Catering deserves it. They didn’t just cater our wedding, they anchored it. From the start, they stood out for offeri...
ng far more than anyone else we spoke to, at a price that was more than fair. And when the big day came, they exceeded every expectation we had.
Throughout planning, there were moments when we weren’t sure how to handle certain logistics or had requests that needed some figuring out, and Connie’s was always right there. Sometimes they had a clear, simple answer, and other times they helped us talk through the options until it made sense. That kind of support made such a difference and took a huge weight off our shoulders.
The food was phenomenal, we had guests genuine raving about it! Seriously we were so impressed. And their bartenders were exactly who you’d want behind the bar: competent, friendly, and calm even in the busiest moments.
What really set them apart, though, was how much they handled quietly behind the scenes. They just took care of the little things that could’ve easily turned stressful. That kind of presence let us actually enjoy our own wedding, and we’ll never forget that.
Connie’s is a true Southside staple, and that meant a lot to us when picking them. They brought not just amazing food and service, but a sense of pride and care that felt personal. We can’t recommend them highly enough, and we really mean that. Seriously, the best choice we could have made for our wedding!!!

My husband and I just got married this last weekend, and Connie's did an amazing job and exceeded our expectations. So many guests said it was their favorite wedding food they have...
had, and I have to agree. We went with the medium weight pizza, pasta alla vodka, chicken, and house salad. Everything was warm and delicious, no one left feeling hungry.
Besides the quality of the food, JoAnn and her team were a joy to work with. If there were any issues in the kitchen that day, my husband and I had no idea. Everything went so smoothly.
JoAnn always responded promptly to any concerns, was very accommodating with menu changes, and worked so hard. Also, her wait staff and bartenders were super nice and on top of everything, and did such a great job with our guests.
If you are thinking of going with Connie's, you won't be disappointed! We had the best wedding, and they were a huge part of why.

o nice to sit back and relax on our wedding day as they took control with organization. We had nothing to worry about once JoAnn took over!
It’s hard to beat their quality of food and service.
Oh! Get their pizza as a late-night snack! You will not regret it!!

I was looking to have a wedding that was very Chicago style so I found connies catering that was able to fulfill my dream. We did Pretzel bites and a nacho bar with veggies and fru...
it for the cocktail hour and then we had, Hot Dogs, Brats, Italian Beef, Deep Dish Pizza, Salad, Potato Salad, Macaroni and Cheese and Amazing Desserts and I cannot tell you how amazing the spread looked. Not only did they just do my catering they also were pretty much my Wedding Planners and our go to's for the whole wedding and the weeks before. I would definitely recommend them and will personally use them for year to come. Cassandra Petroski is the Catering Manager and she is AMAZING. If you are looking into a catering company they can do just about anything and if you want chicago style that is also Great.
