Who We Are

The Story Behind
Every Great Slice

Round table pizza began in 1999 with one simple belief — great pizza is more than just food. It's a gathering point. It's the reason families linger at the table, friends laugh louder, and every meal becomes a memory. Our founder, Marco Deluca, started with a single stone oven and a commitment to never compromise on quality.

Today, our round table pizza is enjoyed across the United States, made fresh every day with hand-stretched dough, premium toppings and recipes passed down through generations. From our first location in Matteson, IL, we've grown while holding tight to every original value that made us who we are.
