Pros: Intimate and friendly. Unique pizza variation. Cons: Unremarkable flavor and quality.
Summary: I have spent most of my life in Chicago and somehow managed to miss this 30 year old institution. Unfortunately it is likely I will not be back for another 30 years. It's not that the pizza is bad it's just that it is so uneventful. Let's start with ...

Pros: The beer's cold Cons: I have to drink lots of it to get through the ordeal
Summary: Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder once again proves that any restaurant can succeed as long they serve enormous, oversized portions at a reasonable price. No matter that the food is suspect....as long as you have leftovers for a couple of days. However, is...

Pros: Offbeat charm and great food Cons: The wait can be excruciating
Summary: Small and dark, the Chicago Pizza & Oven Grinder Company is nonetheless one of the best places to eat in the Chicago....IF you can stand the wait. This place seems to be crowded at every hour of the day, but even more so during the evening and on...
