Soooooooooo tasty! They have good service and serve quickly because there is usually a line out the door for a table. I would advise not going near dinner or lunch hour or anytime on the weekend, you will be waiting. Some couples have waited 2.5 hours, NO LIE! It is very good though! They only accept cash, and the free chocolate mint at the end is the BEST!!! So tasty.. anybody know where it is from???

Folks, this ain't pizza ...
That said, the pot pie 'pizza' is tasty. The sauce is similar to spaghetti sauce IMO. The crust was delicious and there was plenty of cheese (always a good thing) in it. The salad was nothing special and the dressing rather lackluster. The bread (which my friends were raving about) more than lived up ...

I absolutely, positively love this place. My parents have been going since their first date 26 years ago and I've been going since I could hold a fork. It has a diffrent and unexpected flavor that you will come to crave.

I have two favorite restaurants, one in Chicago and the other in New York. Being that I live only a few minutes south of Chicago, I obviously eat here more. Although not a typical pizza, I have never been to a better "pizza place" anywhere in the country. I first went with some co-workers about two years ago, and had the pizza pot pie. ...

It's not really a pizza. It's an oven grinder, so to say it's the best pizza is a bit far fetched. It's good though. They have good flat bread as well.

looking at all the reviews I'm a lil surprised why this place is so popular. This is the second time I have been here as my brother told me about this place.I wanted to treat my lady to a nice place to eat and i felt this was not the place.First off we got there and the place was packed but they were able to sit us right away,which was great ...
I have been going to the Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder Company for about six years. The food is phenomenal- I can't get enough of their mediterranean bread and yummy salad dressings. The pizza pot pie is great, too, I prefer the vegetarian. I have tried all the oven grinders and they are all pretty yummy, always splitting material. The fact ...
I've lived in San Diego, Connecticut, Florida, and this is, by far, the best I've had. ALL PORTIONS ARE HUGE. Picture: A bowl layered with cheese, filled with sauce and whole mushrooms and topped with dough spread over the edges. It's then baked, brought to the table and flipped over in front of you. Get the great Mediteranean Bread for an app! At least an hour wait, but get a drink at the bar and relax with everybody else.
If you're looking for a truely different style and GREAT TASTE, this is the place to go. An AWESOME 1st date place as well as an Anniversary Celebration. Make sure you order the Popover with Mushrooms!
