chicago pizza & oven grinder company

very good. the pizza bowl thing is amazing. it is very unlike anything ive ever had. it it worth the trip. thesaladwas also very good, it was super fresh and the dressing was awesome.

omg...i died and went to pot pie heaven!. this place all around is fantastic from the fresh humongoussaladwith dressing and herb toppers to that delish pizza pot pie they are known for. our waitress was awesome and the manager/owner(very nice little italian guy) was supper friendly and hospitable. it is in this really old brownstone and the inside has all dark wood and low lighting so it is very cozy. i would go to chicago just for this pot pie because it was that good! there is a lot of history in the building as well as the area being right across from the st. valentine’s day massacre site so it was entertaining in that fact as well. what a great visit...we will be back!

you must try. i am in love with this place and have been going for many years. it is a hike because i live in south suburbs but let me tell you it is worth it and all you need is a great bigsaladthe two homemade dressings and a mediterranean bread and wa la be prepared to have your taste buds blown away. if i could rate this higher i would

this is the place i recommend to my out of town friends because it is truly an old north side chicago establishment. the mediterranean bread andsaladwith the trio of dressings is a meal in itself but if you still are hungry, those pizza pot pies, ohhhh boy. i love mushrooms and the doorknob size mushrooms in my own pot pie, gobble gobble! yes, only cash, yes, a wait. this is chicago, you wait for good stuff.

my favorite place to eat in the city. expect a long wait and have cash on you (no credit cards). but it is worth it! mediterranean bread is fantastic. the greeksaladis delicious, i out all the dressings on and buy a bottle of each to take home every time i go! i cannot say enough about those little pizza pot pies, unbelievable!!! next time i will have to get an extra frozen one to take home, or maybe five...

i agree that the wait time is a little long but we just sat at the bar and time flew. other than that, what can you say. the food is awesome. fromsaladto pizza bowl. becoming one of my favorites very fast!!

pizza is good. wait time can be long. bread andsaladexcellent. pizza is good. wait time is way too long.

love thesaladand the mediterranean bread! one of my favorite places. just don't go after a cubs game, or you'll be waiting forever!!

biggestsaladever. i went here with my sister and we split the frenchsaladand the smaller pizza. thesaladwas great!! we couldn't believe the size, we took most of it home, but the cheese was delicious and it came with many great additional toppings. the pizza was also great, not like normal pizza at all but delicious. this is a wonderful spot.

pizza not needed. just go for the fabulous mediterranean bread and asalad- so good. just remember they only take cash

sat niite pizza. went to cpog on sat 10/30/2010; valet was $8.00. parking is difficult to find in that area of 2100 block of clark street. valet was professional, but a bit hurried. our first visit and were both delighted by the salad, but very disappointed in the pizza. wait staff was great!! if you're looking for a new or novel pizza, this is it, but the portion for an almost $22.00 large pizza was disappointing, no larger than a pot pie you buy at home. in addition, we had the sausage which tasted more like ground beef?? would barely feed a hungry man, yet alone a family of 4?? small chefsaladand dressing was great. get the salad, forget the pizza. lou malnatis or girodano's blow this pizza away. if you're an out of towner looking for true "chicago" style pizza, this is not it!! note that they take cash only and no debit, credit or other cards.

a group waiting is a good sign ..... in town for a cubs day game we figured that we would try the above business . as we walked south on north clark st we saw a group gathering . these were patrons waiting for a seat at the chicago pizza and oven grinder . most folks waiting were like us from out of town . i was able to purchase two beers while we waited . seated ahead of others we ordered asaladmy wife a small pizza and i had a ham and cheese grinder . our server knew the menu well and returned with water as requested and oursaladthat was huge . make sure you are hungry !! food was really no more expensive than other chicago tourist spots . food was served hot we might stop back if in the area .

great, original pizza, and asaladwith everything one could want and more (take the house suggestion for dressing). great service. one of my favorite places on the planet!
