About Old Chicago Pizza

Old Chicago Pizza + Taproom is a popular restaurant that offers a diverse menu of delectable pizza, appetizers, and pasta dishes. Reviewers have praised the establishment for its consistently good food, friendly staff, and clean, well-maintained facilities. The restaurant is known for its vegetarian and dietary restriction-friendly offerings, with clear labeling on the menu. It features a family-friendly atmosphere with a kids' menu, high chairs, and wheelchair accessibility, making it suitable for all ages.

Many customers enjoy the pizza, with the Farmer's Daughter pizza on cauliflower crust and the Arugula pizza highlighted as standout items, especially for their burst of flavor from cherry tomatoes. The Italian nachos are also noted as tasty, though slightly greasy. The patio with an exterior bar is appreciated as a nice space to relax, especially during warmer weather.

Service is generally attentive and efficient, with staff willing to accommodate special requests. One recent experience involved ordering chicken parm and pesto chicken fettachini alfredo, although the latter was found to be bland and overcooked, and the chicken parm had a slight spice and a burnt breading that affected the overall impression. Despite this, the staff's helpfulness and quick service during a mix-up were appreciated, and the atmosphere remains inviting, especially with the patio. Parking is ample, with around 25 spaces.

In summary, Old Chicago Pizza + Taproom is a well-reviewed establishment that offers a wide range of delicious, quality dishes in a clean and welcoming environment, with friendly staff who strive to provide a positive dining experience for all customers.

Happy Hour! Not bad specials.

Maybe make it clear that you don't actually serve Chicago style pizza? Would have preferred to spend $30 at a local shop for a regular pizza. Total let down.
