Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder Company

No longer taking reservations/ forcing people to wait? No. Have fun waiting for hours. Dumbest policy change ever.

My parents went on their first date here so I've been going since I can remember. It's never changed and is still as amazing as it always was!!! Always the most kind servers and truly a restaurant experience you can't get anywhere else in the world. Will forever be my favorite restaurant in Chicago. My whole life my order has been pizza pot pie no meat with mushrooms, mediterranean bread, and a chefs salad with both dressings (: They sell their dressings bottled and they are honestly the best salad dressings on earth so make sure to grab some of those!

Wonderful food! Service was excellent and the food was a dream! Order it all - don't skimp!!!

Amazing food ! Our server I believe was named Caroline was top tier server! Best service we have had in all of Chicago on our long weekend ! Thank you for the good food good atmosphere and good memories !

This place was great...Not fancy, just good food, a fun, retro atmosphere and a good value. So glad I was able to experience.

Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder has been a staple in Chicago for as long as I can remember. I had lived in Chicago for over 15 years and then moved away. I got a chance to take my son there this last weekend on a visit. It was so nostalgic, but not only that, it is still so good. The food, the service, and the ambiance.

The pizza is amazing. It's not what you would expect but delicious. The service is wonderful. Such a gem.

We liked our experience. Nothing bad to say about it. Just interesting how certain places get a reputation for being amazing and are......not. It was nice, but one of those things you do 1x just to see what the fuss was all about. Table for 2. 1 small pizza pot pie 1 sandwich / grinder 1 appetizer 1 drink $90 Cash only. ¯\(ツ)/¯ Congrats on the success. We're on to Baltimore.

Just fantastic! I have been coming here for years, and it is always yummy. A Chicago Institution for sure! Salad dressings were so fresh - our server was right, mix both together!

Nice little spot ,your gonna wait ✋️ tho up to 1 wait times and parking is rough ! Average pricing for Chicago I thought it was great ! Nice selection of beer but would like to see more being this is Chicago...I definitely would come back and make sure to grab the Mediterranean 🍞! I'm out

Waited almost two hours for undercooked dough. Not worth it at all! Food was below mediocre. Honestly, I would rather go to dominos

Vegetarian options: Tiny place. Tight seating. Best for small men women and children.

Dietary restrictions: Not for picky kids. Fairly small menu

Kid-friendliness: Nothing kid specific except they can make a cheese only pizza pot pie. But that didn't bother me. My kid ate the Mediterranean bread because i didn't tell her there were anchovies.

Wheelchair accessibility: Lol. I doubt it. One 4 inch step just past the hostess. But the person would still need to sit in the booth. No room to walk around a chair. Maybe at the 2 small window booths that are kinda outta the way, but they were 2 starters.

It's a neat spot, and the food is good. Worth visiting once for the gimmick of the pizza pot pie or oven grinder sandwich. Make sure you make a reservation, we waited for 2 hours! We didn't realize they have a very affordable valet parking so we parked on the street. If you go for lunch you may be able to park for free on the neighborhood streets.

Wheelchair accessibility: Definitely not wheelchair accessible. The restaurant is small and the walkways are cramped.
