There’s something about fried cheese that just makes the world a more bearable place to live. From the crunchy exterior to the juicy, creamy middle, it’s hard to resist cheese sticks (so don’t). Fried mozzarella especially is a favorite you can find at just about any festival and most restaurants.
You haven’t had a cheese stick until you’ve had one from this incredible Illinois eatery. Keep scrolling all the way to the bottom for a video on how they are made.
Frato's Pizza is a one-of-a-kind eatery in Illinois that is overlooked for the dozens of other incredible restaurants in its town.
Regardless, they sell huge cheese sticks that patrons from near and far come around for often. They are made from fresh-cut mozzarella wrapped in seasoned dough and then rolled in bread crumbs before being fried to golden perfection.
Of course, the restaurant sells many other unbelievably delicious dishes as well. Most notable is the one-pound pizza slice which is handmade and baked in a stone oven.
This restaurant occasionally likes to get inventive and offer creations you won't find any place else. Such limited time options include tempura fried pizza slices, prime rib pizza, and pizza burritos.
Don't you dare leave this establishment without at least taking home one of its incredible desserts like brownies or ice cream. If you can't decide, you can have them mixed together into a shake.
