Heavily involved in his community, Clark is the current Chairman of the Main Street Commission, an active member of the Tinley Park Chamber of Commerce and the Oak Park Main street Association (OPAMA). He is also a strong sponsoring supporter of both the Tinley Park Bulldogs and the Tinley Park Bobcats.

Community involvement comes quite naturally to Clark, as he literally grew up in his father’s pizza business, taking part in community affairs and growth from a young age.

As a teenage pizza apprentice, Clark began working under the watchful eye of his father, grating fresh cheese and making daily batches of their fresh pizza dough. Soon enough however, in 1978, Clark purchased Ed n Joe’s from his father.

Working long hours, Clark built his small carry out and delivery business, eventually expanding to a full service restaurant in 1984. He purchased the property in 1990 and began laying the groundwork for the grand scale renovated eatery you see today.

Ed n Joe’s is now a full service pizzeria with an eclectic dinner menu offering sandwiches, steaks, chops and pastas.

In addition to stone baked thin crust pizzas, they are also locally famous for it's bountiful Taco pizza as well as deep dish, stuffed and the delectable BBQ Chicken pizza.

Ed n Joe’s is a successful catering business as well, and now boasts a private party room for business meetings and special events.

A cozy cathedral ceiling bar accented with hardwood floors sits well stocked with craft beers and great wines. Live acoustic music resonates off the dark wood beams every Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday night.

Now celebrating Ed n Joe’s 47th birthday, Michael Clark remains committed to great food at great prices. While his employees affectionately call him “The Pizza King,” they all strive to make sure that his restaurant keeps residents smiling, raving about and returning to Ed n Joe’s.
