New Pizzeria Opens in Tinley Park

Just A Pizza Chicago Style, which opened Jan. 24 at 7108 W. 183^rd St. in Tinley Park, is a family affair.

The pizzeria is owned by three siblings - Tony Rojas, Al Rojas and Rose Siegel - and Siegel provided all of the recipes.

Tony Rojas, of Worth, said food has been the family business for a while.

"My brother owned a beef stand in Wisconsin for years, and my sister used to sell homemade cheesecakes online," said Tony Rojas, adding he's been in the business with his brother for the past six years.

Rojas said the siblings chose Tinley Park for their venture because "it's a growing community and the people are outgoing."

Just A Pizza serves thin crust, stuffed and deep dish pizza, wings, sandwiches, some pasta dishes and Eli's cheesecake.

The restaurant offers carryout and delivery to the Tinley Park area. Hours are Sunday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. The phone number is 708-429-0400.
