WE ARE NOW OPEN FOR DINE-IN BUSINESS. WELCOME BACKThis year marks the 50th-year anniversary of the one and only Chicago Pizza & Oven Grinder Co. Since opening their doors in 1972, CPOG has been serving its unique style of pizza, the Pizza Pot Pie- an original- baked in a bowl filled with cheese; homemade sauce from scratch (each batch takes 10 hours of prep and cooking time); large fresh mushrooms and topped with a triple raised Sicilian bread-type dough; then inverted ceremoniously at your table. Six mouth-watering gargantuan Oven Grinders, several colossal salads with distinctive, original homemade dressings and the Mediterranean Bread round out its menu.In the heart of Lincoln Park in Chicago, this cozy restaurant is housed in a historical building. Set across the street from the site of the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre, this three story brownstone is claimed to have been used as a look out for Al Capone’s gang during the legendary hit back in 1929.

The use of "Pizza" in the title of the restaurant is really putting the elasticity of meaning to the test. You don't get a pizza here, you get a very doughy personal pot pie, but instead of...

Seriously don't get the hype. When going inside they told us it's a few hours wait so ordered to go and still waited a bit. It doesn't look good and just tasted like sauce and cheese. I'm sure...
