Illinois pizza chain Antioch Pizza Shop plans Hutto restaurant

Antioch Pizza Shop, an Illinois chain known for its double-decker pizza, plans to open in Hutto’s Co-Op District. It’s the only Texas location listed on the company’s website.

The pizzeria is planned for the ground floor of the four-story office building at 199 Co-Op Blvd., Suite 103. Work on the restaurant space is expected to begin in December and finish by the end of March 2027. The company lists the location as coming soon and has yet to announce an opening date.

The chain got its start in Antioch, Illinois, in 1977. Its signature double-decker stacks two layers of pizza with mozzarella. The chain’s menu also includes crispy thin-crust and Chicago-style stuffed pizzas, Italian beef sandwiches and wings.

The Co-Op District is a 35-acre mixed-use development along U.S. 79 that also houses Hutto City Hall and the public library.
