A Must Do
March 26, 2008
This place is really good! It has a very old school Chicago feel to it. It looks like it hasn’t changed since the days when Al Capone used to frequent that area. The staff are very friendly and very Italian. It reminded me of that Italian restaurant in the Simpsons. “Ay, Luigi..!”
Anyways, the food was awesome and very large. The pizza pot pie was good, but the things that really stood out were the garlicy salad dressing ( I forget what kind it was, but we asked for a refill!) and the dessert. The tortoni might be my new favorite.
All in all, definitely check this place out, you’ll love it. While you’re over there, go across the street and check out the really old buildings where the St. Valentine’s massacre supposedly took place. Kind of cool.

1 POUNDER

Okay, Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder Co. was great. We ate almost everything on the menu although we didn’t get a grinder. We got the smallest salad on the menu but it was huge and easily fed 3 of us. The padre made me get a 1 pounder of the pizza pot pie. It was really really really good but theres no way I could ever finish it.
Okay this pizza pot pie thing. Its essentially a small cup type dish that they layer with cheese, sauce, meat, 2 mushrooms, and you can pick white of wheat bread to put on top. They cook it, bring it out to your table, and then flip the whole thing upside down. Upside down it really looks like a mushroom. Anyways, it was great and you should definitely get one. Just get the 1/2 pound guy.
After all that we got their only desert. TORTONI. This creation from the gods tastes like butterscotch ice cream almost. Here’s the description from their site: “An Italian frozen cream dessert, flavored with rum and crushed macaroons and sprinkled with finely crushed toasted almonds. Made exclusively for the Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder Company.” My suggestion is to save room for this guy.
Also we went there very late (about 10pm) on a monday night –also st patricks day. I could imagine this place getting very crowded very quickly.
