Business Spotlight

Uncle Lar's Pizza Uncle Lar’s was established by Norma and the late Larry Albright in 1983. What started out as pick-up only eventually grew to offering delivery and dine-in services. It has always been and continues to be a family owned and operated restaurant. In November 2017 Jerry and Selaine Stegmann took ownership of Uncle Lar’s keeping the same famous recipe that the Albright’s passed down. View their Menu! (630) 552-3535 to order!
