Description:
- One of Chicago's oldest pizza joints, Chicago Pizza & Oven Grinder is a cozy establishment set in an old brownstone building with beautiful wood paneling and plenty of private booths to enjoy great conversation. Often frequented by couples to intimately share the restaurant's signature pizza pot pie, made with Sicilian dough, a delicious homemade sauce, cheese, and a selection of other fillings. Make sure to order the enormous garlic bread as you wait for your pizza. And, if you just love the pizza pot pie, take one frozen to go! The restaurant also has a delightful bar where you can wait for a table to open.

Okay place, but not worth a special trip
-
Server was a little curt. The pizza is okay, but it is just about all cheese with an doughy crust. Salad is very good and the tortoni for dessert is worth the money.
