Pizza
Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.

Great happy hour food specials. The entire menu is tastey and the beer selection is always good. They have a good rotation of beers based on season. The staff at this location is amazing! They make it worth the trip every time!

Tons of different beers to choose from (the club is a lot of fun). Great pizza and fun atmosphere. Very similar to Chicago pizza places (hence the name).
(4)Jeff M.
Food isn't bad, nachos are good. Tons of beers on tap and in bottle. Great beers to try something new. Service isn't too great. The name is a little misleading. If you are heading here it should be because you are a beer snob and want that variety.
(3)Zach C.
Great food, especially if you are able to hit up the happy hour. Have had most of the menu and everything is out of this world. Good variety of beers, and the staff here is awesome. Nice to be able to go into a chain restaraunt and feel at home.
(5)Dani C.
After being on the road eastbound from Seattle for 4 days picking crappy restaurants, this place was a treat! Nachos, Calzones, and the California Chicken Sandwich, all very yummy! Got a couple of drinks as well. The bill wasn't bad at all, very reasonable. Waitress was nice too. Had a huge beer selection.
(4)Allan M.
PIzza was okay, sauce a little on the bland side, But the Service was amazing.
(4)Samantha F.
Another beer joint. This has No Chicago attributes! I have tried this place several times, with several different people ordering different things. All dishes were terribly bland and no Italian or Chicago seasonings. I give two stars for our sever Katty she was not only cute but very friendly.(hope she finds a better waitress job)
(2)Justin H.
This location gets points off for the service. The food is 4 star. About anything on the menu is good. But the service is slow. I usually don't complain until it has been bad 3 times in a row. Also gets crowded and loud easy. Large selection of good beers! Recommend: Not sitting in the area close to the bar and towards the outside (kind of a greenhouse area). You will be served badly. Food Recommend: Italian Nachos, Our Original "Chicago Seven", any Calzone
(3)Jessica D.
Unremarkable, overcrowded and noisy, a hot networking spot for young professional groups. Slow service. Good beers.
(3)Kat P.
My family has been coming here for years and has never had a problem. The food is consistently prepared in a timely manner and comes out hot. The wait staff, hosts and bartenders are phenomenal. I work for a nearby hotel and send people here for food literally every day.
(5)M H.
This place is good. I really like the fried pickles and the berry fizz drink with real strawberry purée and ginger ale. Very tasty. Pizza was good but dough seemed a tiny bit tough. I would come here again. Waiter was super friendly!
(3)D P.
Great food with hard rock music from the 80's. Atmosphere was relaxed, clean and enjoyable. Will definitly go back again and stay longer. This place knows how to make a mix drink. Huge alcohol selection.
(5)Jody R.
Just tried to get reservations for 10 people tomorrow at 4:00 pm and was informed in a curt manner that 24 hour minimum is required for reservations. We will take our business elsewhere.

What happened to this place? I have been a regular customer here for around 20 years, but with my schedule the past two years I went from once a week to once a month. Summer 2013, however, they did a major remodel. I was thoroughly unimpressed. The old decor had a nostalgic, homey theme. Now it looks cleaner and more open and modern, but not in a good way. Would you remodel Wrigley Field? As far as the food, it's decent, but the menu shrunk with the remodel, and the prices went up. The late night menu went from incredible value to incredibly underwhelming. The star is still the wonderful beer menu, but this place used to be so much more. My once a month has dropped to once every three months, at most. A shame.

Went there this week for the first time. I ordered a calzone, my companion ordered a spinach, chicken, avocado salad. I normally love calzones, but this was just bad. The crust was non tasty, no good texture, but it looked pretty. The inside had hardly any cheese and no ricotta to be found. The marinara on the side was good, not great. I sent it back. Im done eating and paying for food that sucks. We all should be. I asked for the spaghetti pie instead of the calzone. I have never heard of or had spaghetti pie, but it sounded good from the menu description. It, again, was ok, not great. I requested mine with grilled chicken on the side. It had to have been pre packaged, frozen chicken, in fact, i'm not even totally sure it was chicken because of the weird flavor and texture. The carbonara sauce was salty/sour. The next morning my hands and fingers were swollen "sausages" because of all the sodium in this dish. As for my companions salad, a half portion cost just under $9. Too much money for this salad. The avocado was not ripe and creamy, but hard and green, more crunchy. The garlic bread was soaked, drenched in butter (or something). We asked for a piece of unbuttered garlic bread but were told they did not have any because it gets made up in the morning and any other bread they would have would be frozen. Hello, but do restaurants have chefs that cook anymore, or is everything just frozen and nuke? I can do that at home, and better. Our waitress could have used a refresher course as she was inattentive as all get out. I hate to tip poorly, but I am also tired of tipping for service that is less than adequate.

Been coming to the restaurant since it started, but haven't done the beer tours! I like the on tap selections and always order the pizza.
(5)Matt W.
Really good restaurant for being in such a bad area. Very clean and a nice dinning area with tv's. Was there for lunch and had a great lunch special. The tomato basil soup was great and the pizza was awesome. I look forward to eating there again soon!
(5)Lianne N.
Food's ok. Great beer selection. Nice wait staff. Kinda grossed me out seeing all the old food on the floor under our table when we sat down... It's impossible not to notice such a thing when you have to step up to get into your booth. That kind of colored my mood for the rest of the evening. They really need to put a bit more effort into cleanup between seatings.
(3)Lisa F.
Try the Thai Pie for something different. We had a short wait, but well worth it. Waitress was attentive and prompt. Excellent experience.
(4)Tim H.
Food is fantastic. Never had a bad meal here. Great to bring the kids too.
(5)Keith P.
I'm a huge fan of Old Chicago's and anytime that I have a chance to go to one I take advantage of it. This location was good, not the best that I've been to but it still has the awesome old chicago's bar and pizza. Great place to watch any football game!
(4)Dana L.
Come here on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Friday and sit at the bar - JOSH is the best! He takes awesome care of his guests. Our food is always delish and so are the drinks. We love this place, especially the customer service!

I urge anyone in the QC to check out Old Chicago if you haven't been there in awhile. They have gone through a remodel and also have a new manager in their bar and kitchen. I have been there three times since the new year and been nothing short of impressed. The beer is a much wider selection and now served in the appropriate glassware per beer style and the food has been great. Ingredients are clearly fresh and food made with care. Spoke to a waitress about how impressed we are with what they have done and she says these changes are not a corporate thing, it was a clear decision this particular franchise made. I can easily say this is the best chain dinning experience I can remember

We've been going to Old Chicago for as long as we've lived in the QCA (at least 15 years). I love to try different beers, so OC is my kind of place. I've made one "tour" around the world already and am well on my way again. Drinking my way around the world - that's the way it would be in real life, too. Many years (and pounds) ago, we were fans of the deep dish "Chicago-style" pizza; what many would call a casserole, NOT a pizza. As we've gotten older, we've taken to hand-tossed, or thinner, pizzas. The quality & flavor of their pies have stayed consistent over the years, in my opinion. I've not had their calzones or strombolis, so I can't comment on them. I've had their burgers before, but that was so long ago that I can't remember if I liked them. More on the appetizers later. They have a new system for getting credit for the beers you drink, but it needs work. It is an app you put on your phone. They have it for the iPhone but I can't remember if there is an Android version. It replaces the old plastic wallet card, which I never carried anyway. It tracks your whole bill (I think), which I'm not sure I like. You also get a free appetizer (at least the first time you use it), which is an incentive. Most of the reviews on the Apple app store are very negative (one star), but they seem a bit whiny about it, if you ask me. One of the criticisms is that it only works in six of the stores, a valid complaint, but I'm not sure what it is that only works on those 6 stores. Everything seemed to work with the app when I tried to use it. You can get the app right at your table by using one of those Q-card scanners on the phone (I hope you know what I mean by that, because I'm not sure that's what it's called). Or the wait-person can put your phone number into their computer. It doesn't look like I got credit for my previous "tour", so I need to find my old card and add it to the app, if possible. Not sure it will work but I want to get credit for my previous tour if I can. If you complete more than one tour (2-3, can't remember exactly), you get your name on a plaque at the front of the store. You get a mug behind the bar if you're a REAL sot. You also get some nice gifts at various levels on your first tour, like hats, sweatshirts, bottle openers, etc. Sorry for the "novel" about the beer tour. I got the fish & chips last night and was disappointed. It's not normal Old Chicago fare, to be sure, but I've had it before and the quality has definitely gone down. My reasons for the downgraded review is for a couple of issues. The "free" appetizer we got (their huge plate of nachos) had a piece of paper napkin stuck on the cheese. Pretty gross, right? The manager immediately took it off the bill, but it was going to be free anyway because I signed up for the app on my phone, which gives you a free one. My wife and daughter took care of the bill this time, so I don't know what they worked out. At any rate, it would have been a nice gesture if he had also taken off one of the meals. A few tips: get there early. Old Chicago has always been popular, especially on Friday nights, which is when we go most often. If you're not seated by 5:30-ish, you're gonna wait. The later you get there, the longer you wait, not unexpectedly. The waiting area isn't huge and there isn't much room to sit, even at the bar, so you'll probably end up standing. Stay with the pizza or other "Italian" offerings. More consistently good. Carpool if you're there with a group. Parking is hard to find. We often end up parking at the hotel next door (which I'm sure they love). All in all, not the best experience this time (though the New Belgium Harvest ale was very tasty). But our experience won't keep us away. I also need to figure out how to get credit for my other completed World Tour.

The family has been travelling for over month around the world for the military. We arrive in the QC and are looking for a pizza place near our hotel. We spy this place. We are extremely tired and at first wanted a seat but it appears we are falling asleep waiting for service. We decided to order a pizza to go. The hostess shows us into the bar area to order. Once the waitress there finds out we want to order to go she becomes rude and sends us back to the hostess to order. ??? What in the world is going on. We are hungry, tired, and really don't want to go elsewhere because of the road construction in the area so we order a pizza. Got the Chicago 7 pizza to go. The pizza is OK but Pizza Hut is much, much better. We will not be going back to this place over our assignment in the QC. The place was mostly empty on a Saturday afternoon which should have been our first clue to go elsewhere. Seems like a nice place inside and out but ...
(2)Jessica C.
First of all, do not come here assuming this is Chicago-style pizza. I did, and they say it is, but wow it definitely is not. The pizza isn't bad, though, I do recommend it but just not under the assumption that it's Chicago pizza. Now, besides the pizza, we ordered mozzerella sticks and got 4 (I believe) for $8, which would've been okay if they were sprinkled with gold dust or something (they weren't). The staff is very friendly anyway, and there's a nice, casual atmosphere to the place.

Had a short wait at about 8pm on a Friday night. Very friendly server. She was newer and a little timid but very sweet. She will get the hang of things and be great :) BF ordered an individual pizza and I had a Caesar salad and a cup of soup. Both were very good! Plenty of dressing and cheese on the salad and fresh garnishes on the soup. Yum! Each had some brews. There were lots of kids here so sit in the bar if you don't want the "family" atmosphere. We were staying at the hotel next door to the restaurant and got 10% off our bill, but it was for the food only, no discount for the booze, just FYI :)
(3)John H.
A nice job. Great beer selection and a very friendly staff. First ltime to this location....treated very nicely.
(4)Cara N.
This place was next to our hotel so we could walk to it. Friendly service, late night happy hour and good pizza. They also give you 10% discount if you stayed at the hotel.
(3)Adam W.
Food here is so-so. I have gotten their italian beef a few times and its ok. If your coming here to have several drinks you better order a second round when the first round comes. Im not sure why it takes so long to get another beer or mixed drink. I have sat in the bar area and watched the server enter the drink into their POS system and then watched the bartender just stand their for a few minutes before pouring the beer. Not sure why it takes so long but the wait service is very nice and attentive.
