Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder Company Chicago Reviews
A must when we are in Chicago.
Food and staff are great. Great little place. Have been coming for over 30 years,
I am late with this review.
My wife and I were so excited to try this. First off, we were here late September. Our server Alvaro made this experience so fun. We had a salad and pizza pot pie. I would probably ask for only half of the lettuce on the salad because it was messy. D

There's a place I've been trying to go for a while now and the experience of upside down pizza was just amazing. Even the bread that they recommended was out of this world. The server we had gave us an amazing service, knew what she was tal

We were visiting Chicago and happened to see a video of this place online. A pizza pot pie sounded pretty unique so we had to try it! The pizza itself was very good- lots of cheese. Service was also good and they cut it in front of you. The restaura

The use of "Pizza" in the title of the restaurant is really putting the elasticity of meaning to the test. You don't get a pizza here, you get a very doughy personal pot pie, but instead of chicken and gravy, its sausage, mushrooms,

I take out of towners there for the Pizza Pot Pie, an interesting take on pizza. It takes a while to prepare so I suggest the Mediterranean Bread and a salad for the table to enjoy. The service is good and its hole in the wall ambience adds to the

I've been wanting to try this place for a while, and finally did. We ordered a grinder and a pizza pot -- but I was surprised to find out they don't actually serve pizza at all. I also ordered a Miller Lite that ended up being $10... I get
Seriously don't get the hype.
When going inside they told us it's a few hours wait so ordered to go and still waited a bit. It doesn't look good and just tasted like sauce and cheese. I'm sure there's better places.
Pizza Pot Pie, all its cracked up to be
Old world charm for this Chicago icon. Great food, with wonderful service. Had to wait a few minutes at the bar before we could get a table, but not long. Bartender was friendly, but prices were a little steep. $24 for 1 bottled beer and 1 glass of h
We are from out of town and heard about the pot pie.
What a treat and just a fun dining experience., Tyler, our server, is superb. Everything tasted great, hot and fresh . Cozy location but worth a try .

It's great to come in the winter.
I recommend the pizza, the bread and chef salad. Bottles of wine are pretty cheap.

My friends and I got here at noon and only had a 15 minute wait. Our server was super friendly and helpful with great recommendations. We started with a salad we had the Mediterranean bread which is super thin and delicious. We did the pizza and ende

There are a few iconic places to eat in Chicago, and the Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder Company is absolutely one of the must-try places for their Pizza Pot Pie. Grab a few drinks in the dark, wood-panelled restaurant, imagine gangsters from old-time
This place has been ALL the talk on social media.
They stopped taking reservations a few weeks ago so I was expecting an hour plus wait. We came by around 2pm on a Saturday after visiting the zoo and were shocked that the wait was only 15 minutes. It is pretty cramped inside. It definitely lives up
this is an excellent restaurant.
The pizza pot pie is to die for the only thing I will complain about is that you cannot make reservations and you have to wait, but it is definitely worth the wait!
The service was great.
The ambience is amazing. It's the the perfect place to go for a first date. Very chill atmosphere so that way you can talk and the food was very filling. One pizza was enough for two people.
It was my first time here and it was an experience.
First off bring cash - they do have an ATM inside if cash is needed. The idea of a pizza pot pie was unique. We had the smallest one. Perfect for sharing. It was super tasty. We had so much fun and I enjoyed it. The bread that comes out at the beginn
still good
We remember this place from 40 years ago. It's still fun. Pizza is a bit more watery than our memory, waits certainly not as long, charming service.
Great Pizza alternative you shouldn't miss when in the city.
I like this place for a date night. The cool brownstone look, lighting, and ambiance always feel like you are somewhere only those 'in-the-know' find. I always think I'll try something else, but don't. The Pizza Pot Pie is unbe
Go for the experience
The restaurant and service was great and the food was good! The pizza pie was a little more soupy than I like bit everything was really nice and my sister had a great experience
After 50 years Chicago Pizza & Oven Grinder is Still New and Exciting
You can’t swing a dead cat in downtown Chicago without hitting a deep dish pizza place. There’s Pizano’s on Madison and Michigan, Uno’s in River North, and Lou Malnatti’s everywhere. (In fact, you can’t swing a dead cat without hitting a
Pizza Pot Pie!
Valentine’s Day has demarcated the relationship paths for many people over the years. On this day some relationships move forward, some backwards, and some end altogether. In the 1920’s the city of Chicago had simultaneous relationships with
If your visiting Chicago I highly recommend this place
I would highly recommend this place. The food and service was amazing. I am not one who gets excited about food but the pizza pot pie was to die for.
Must stop in Chicago for the best pizza and apps!
This place was amazing. Ken was our waiter and was great. Very busy so best to make reservations. Everting we had was delicious. The salad dressings were very good as well as the Mediterranean Bread was unbelievable and the pizza bowls were ove
Must try, for ambiance and unique "pizza"
Great unique "pizza" experience. The pizza is more of a pot pie, the half pounder is more than enough if you're getting appetizers. Even then, it's a lot of cheese, so order accordingly. Mediterranean bread is also a great starter
Love the ambiance, service as quick-- Mediterranean bread
Love the ambiance, service as quick-- Mediterranean bread was really good-- star of the show. Meat pot pie & sausage grinder was okay-- I'd only come back if someone was visiting and wanted to eat at a Chicago spot.
The service was excellent!! The historical restaurant
The service was excellent!! The historical restaurant elevated the vibe of Old Chicago! The pizza pot pie lived up to the reputation!
First time coming here and I really enjoyed it.
Service was great and friendly. Server recommended we try the Mediterranean bread which did not disappoint. We also got the chef salad which was fresh and amazing. The pizza pot pie was great as well. I thought you could customize it but that wa
So good!!! Definitely a must to get the Mediterranean Bread
So good!!! Definitely a must to get the Mediterranean Bread (not pictured). The Pot Pie was so really good too!
The service was 5 stars.
We had a reservation at 5:15 and they were right on time and our waitress was very nice. The food was not my favorite so I was quite disappointed about that because I was really looking forward to it. We split a chef's salad (the dressings were good)
Old school restaurant with wood from the floor to ceiling.
We ordered plain and pepperoni. Pizza pot pie presentation was very impressive. I enjoyed it more than the pizza. The pepperoni comes on the side. 3 pieces were the size of Taylor ham. Omar gave the pot pie a few swirls and popped on our plates. Th

Been to many places in Chicago but this was one for the books. Loved the food and great service!
So prepare yourself for a good wait.
I believe they offer reservations but it was nice Sunday this May, we saw a play and took a chance. For the 60 min wait, we just moseyed over to Lincoln Park Zoo for a short walk in the garden area. Now on to the amazing meal. Salad for two. OMG a
Been coming here for 20 years, always amazing.
Food and the experience is awesome. Don't forget to bring cash, they don't take cards
Go for the antipasto and Mediterranean bread! Skip the pizza pot pie.
Best antipasto I’ve ever had, highly recommend it with the Mediterranean bread. As native Chicagoan who loves Chicago pizza - skip the pizza pot pie, I was very disappointed in it.
A chicago institution that has not changed in 30 years!
A chicago institution that has not changed in 30 years! First went there 30 years ago and haven't been back sense. They have a limited menu that is fantastic if you like deep dish pizza although they call it a pizza pot pie. The ingredients are put

So simple yet so delicious!!! My first time coming here and loved it. It's a pub like restaurant with dim lighting and lots of seating. The bread is amazing! I could've ate that for my entire meal and been satisfied. But the pot pies take it over the

*CASH ONLY* Fun vibes, friendly service, but definitely not the best pizza I've tried in Chicago. It doesn't mean that it's bad --in fact, it's good. But it's only good until you're quarter of a pizza in, at least it was for me
good pizza good day.
Great food, great times, amazing atmosphere ! ! Chicago Pizza & Oven Grinder DEFINITELY an experience. Thank you for pizza.

Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder Company Chicago at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder Company Chicago page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder Company Chicago to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder Company Chicago!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
