I've loved this place for 24 years!

by Cassia

I have been going to this place with my family for my whole life. everyone I bring there loves it too!

You MUST try the mediterranean bread WITH the antipasta salad. The key is the two homemade dressings (yes they sell bottles for you to take home)

creamy garlic and sweet poppyseed.

mix them together and it's perfection!

Out of the dozens of visits,, I've only ordered the grinders once.

We go for the pizza

please try it and remember it is cash only!

• Pros: cozy atmosphere and yummy bread and salad!
• Cons: cash only

Cash Only, Get Real

by RobertMcCoy

The filthy mitt to remove the pizza was disgusting. We tried to overlook that and ate it. Not taking charge cards limited our spending and that was a good thing.

Never again. So many better places.

• Pros: None
• Cons: Unsanitary ,no chargecards

BEST PIZZA IN CHICAGO!

by loneranger11148

Chicago Pizza Pie and Oven Grinder Company is one of the most unique places in Chicago to eat. It's cozy and the food is wonderful and affordable. The pizza is unbelieveable, and the salad is great too. When I lived there, I tried to go at least once every few months. I am writing this, because value is so miportant these days, and this place really offers just that. So does the other fave. mentioned in a previous review, The Half Shell at Diversey and Orchard. That also falls under the "don't blink or you'll miss it" category of "small, sweet, worth-the-wait" treats hidden in this surprising city! Enjoy. Oh, and just park in the first spot you find...otherwise, it's a hunt for a space.

• Cons: parking
