Cemeno's Pizza

Cemeno's Pizza has been a family-owned Joliet tradition since 1976. We offer award winning pizza, superb pasta, tasty sandwiches and more!

We still use the same recipes we did when our Grandma Tressie would come in and make our sauces and meatballs, using her hands as measuring cups. We offer a great atmosphere for any occasion! Cemenos is perfect for a night out with friends, a celebration with family, watching your favorite sports, or a business-related event.
