History

Established in 1982.

Established in 1982.

In 1982, Chicago Connection Pizza was founded in Boise, Idaho, introducing a great Chicago-​style deep dish pizza. The first location on Fairview Avenue offered Boise the same style pizza that is a staple for pizza fans in Chicago. In only a few shorts months, the pizza became such a hit that a second location opened on Overland Road. As Boise and the Valley grew, Chicago Connection Pizza opened another location in downtown Boise at 4^th and Bannock, near the state Capitol and St. Luke’s Hospital. As outlying areas began to demand «the better pizza» and the area’s only hot oven delivery trucks, locations were opened in Eagle, Meridian, and Nampa.
