Cemeno's Pizza

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.

🏈🍺 The DUGOUT is BACK! 🍺🏈

For generations, Joe’s Dugout has been the place to watch the game at Cemeno’s — and this football season, we’re bringing back a tradition longtime Dugout regulars will remember.

✨ Introducing the 2026 Joe’s Dugout Pint Club — coming soon!

Joe’s Dugout was first launched in 1985, inspired by our patriarch Joe Cemeno’s love of Chicago sports. The Dugout and Skybox became a gathering place for countless big games, unforgettable seasons, and plenty of celebrations.

Now, we’re bringing that game-day energy back 👇

🍺 Commemorative 2026 Pint Club glasses — with a special thanks to Mark Meers/Spring Realty
🏈 Exclusive game-day drink specials
🎟️ Raffles, giveaways & promotions
🏈 and plenty more throughout football season!

The commemorative pints are a throwback to the classic Dugout glasses we released year after year — and we know a few of you still have them tucked away.

If you’ve got an old Joe’s Dugout pint, drop a picture in the comments.

📸 We want to see them!

Stay tuned for more details as we count down the days to kick-off! 🏈
