This family-owned and operated pizzeria is located in historic Miller Beach right by the beautiful South Shore train station, and fun fact- their building is the original train depot! Miller Pizza Company’s Chicago-style pizzas are made with hand-made dough, the very best mozzarella and their sauce is made fresh with only the best locally sourced herbs & spices.

Tomato Bar

79 US Highway 41, Schererville
2310 LaPorte Ave, Valparaiso

This eclectic menu features items that satisfy the cravings of meat lovers, vegetarians, vegans, and those that are gluten-free. Tomato Bar’s fresh dough is tossed to order in an open kitchen because we want you to see the process in action. My personal favorite is the Magic Potion craft pizza, with the Califorian salad, paired with one of their draft or bottled beers. 

Fact: 🍕Pepperoni is the most popular pizza at 36% of all pies ordered.

Capri’s Pizza
