Lacoco's Pizza & Wings

Located on West 47th Street in the heart of Brighton Park, LaCoco’s Pizza & Wings has been a neighborhood staple since 1984. The family‑run spot blends a classic pizza joint with a lively sports bar, featuring dozens of flat‑screen TVs that broadcast Chicago Bulls, Cubs and local high‑school games. Diners can choose from signature pies such as the LaCoco’s Classic Pepperoni, the Chicago‑style Deep‑Dish, and the Veggie Supreme, all baked in a stone oven for a crisp crust. The wing menu offers traditional Buffalo, Honey‑Garlic, and the house‑made Spicy Ranch, perfect for sharing over a cold draft beer. Inside, red‑brick walls, vintage sports memorabilia and neon signage create a retro‑industrial vibe, while the open kitchen lets guests watch chefs toss dough and fry wings. The venue stays open late, serving hungry night‑owls until 4 am, with a modest price range of $10‑$20 per person. Friendly staff members—Chris, the owner‑manager, and longtime servers Celia, Bob, and Gloria—welcome regulars and newcomers alike. LaCoco’s also celebrates community milestones, recently marking its 40th anniversary with a local news feature on CBS Chicago. Customers can order through the LaCoco’s app for contact‑less pickup or delivery, and the menu includes combo deals like the Pizza‑Wing Combo, which pairs a personal pizza with a dozen wings at a discounted price. The bar serves a selection of domestic and imported beers, as well as classic cocktails such as the Chicago Mule. Free Wi‑Fi and a small patio area allow guests to linger. Parking is available on nearby street spaces and a small lot behind the building.
