This past Sunday, while on our way out of Chicago, I wanted to stop at this Pizza Joint I saw on The Travel Channel last week.
It's called the Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder Company. It's located in the Lincoln Park section of Chicago at 2121 North Clark St.
Here is a quote from their website

Quote:

If the building ever did possess gentility, though, it was abruptly forsaken on February 14, 1929, as the guttural yammering of submachine guns in a garage almost directly across the street brought the notorious “St. Valentine’s Day Massacre” to headlines around the world. Rumor even has it that the house at 2121 North Clark served as a lookout post for hoodlum henchmen of the Valentine gunners.

Anyway, the thing that I was after was the "Pizza Pot Pie" that I saw on the tube...
First, here are the pix on the outside...really cool looking building and neighborhood..

The building above the shop...

Across the street...I guess the garage was in the lot to the right. If you look close in one of the windows, you can see Al Capone himself.

On to the grub...
Here is the Pizza Pot Pie when it's brought to the table...

Popping the bowl off...

All the cheesy goodness inside.

Now...the pizza was not that great, I think the experience of it all was cool, but I can do better and I told Kel I want to try one myself, so keep your eyes peeled....I just might do one soon.
In addition to the Pizza Pot Pie, we ordered their Mediterranean flatbread that was really good as well as the salad that could easily feed 6. They make their own salad dressing...1 is a poppyseed, sweetish dressing and the other is a sour cream based garlicky dressing...both good by themselves, but outta this world together.
Anybody ever been there?
Thanks for looking!
