Pros: Intimate and friendly. Unique pizza variation.
Cons: Unremarkable flavor and quality.

Cons: very cramped, long wait
Summary: So my parents and I were walking down Michigan ave, and an idea popped into my head "let's check out oven grinders!" So we walk over and we see a huge cluster and my dad says, "Oh man, that's the line." So I go in and ask the guy inside how long the wait ... read more

Pros: Affordable, excellent quality, deliciously addictive
Cons: Extreme waits, cash only

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 ... read more

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 ... read more
