The Outstanding Restaurant In Illinois That Is Known For A Single Menu Item
While Chicago is known for both pizza and hot dogs, there’s another specialty that can be found here and one place that’s known for it. Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder Co. is a restaurant known for a single menu item, the Pizza Pot Pie, and it’s a one-of-a-kind dish you just have to try!
Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder Co. occupies a historic brownstone in Chicago. It first opened its doors in 1972, and has since become a landmark eatery.
The one menu item that Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder Co. is known for is the Pizza Pot Pie. Made from scratch, it's an inverted pizza that was created here at this restaurant.
A Pizza Pot Pie is made with triple-raised Sicilian dough, housemade sauce, a special cheese blend, sausage, and whole mushrooms. It's available in half-pound and one-pound sizes.
While the pizza pot pie is the numero uno menu item here, there are other items worth trying -- like the oven grinders! Made with Italian bread and stuffed with meats, cheeses, peppers, and more, they are served hot. You haven't had a sandwich quite like this before!
