The iconic and delicious Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder is headed to you on Friday, September 18th!
Chicago might have its deep dish pizza, but there’s another hometown creation that’s just as hearty and delicious, and quite possibly even cheesier: the Pizza Pot Pie. Created in 1972 at Chicago Pizza &amp; Oven Grinder, located just across the street from the location of the infamous St. Valentine’s Day Massacre, this ooey-gooey masterpiece just might deliver the most legendary cheese pull in all of Chi-town!
This ingenious creation starts with scratchmade triple-raised Sicilian bread dough. It’s filled with rich homemade tomato sauce that’s slow-simmered with olive oil, fresh garlic, onions, green peppers, and whole plum tomatoes. And finally, cheese – and lots of it! Baked upside-down and served right-side-up, it’s a pizza like no other — comforting, indulgent, and uniquely Chicago.
Ordering closes by 12pm on Thursday, or when we sell out.
Your order will be available for home delivery between 2:30-6:00pm.View menu + order: <a href="https://dwell.social/4gJrZSf" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://dwell.social/4gJrZSf</a>

Expert-led Physical Therapy for Pain, Injuries, & Prevention

Skillz Physical Therapy

At Skillz Physical Therapy, we believe that your body deserves dedicated care, so we deliver expert-led treatment focused only on you each session. No guesswork, no waiting for the therapist to finish with two other patients. Just your body, your goals, and a clinician whose full attention is dedicated to your recovery. We deliver precision treatments backed by science, experience, and advanced recovery techniques. Our clinic combines advanced modalities with deep clinical insight. Depending on your unique case, your treatment plan may include: • Dry Needling – releases stubborn muscle knots and trigger points that traditional massage can’t reach. • Extracorporeal ShockWave Therapy – uses acoustic waves to stimulate blood flow and tissue repair, helping tendon injuries heal faster. • Cupping and Laser Therapy – support circulation and speed up cellular recovery for post-surgery or chronic pain patients. Rediscover What It Feels Like to Be You Again. Whether you’re struggling with lower back pain, knee pain, TMJ, Vertigo, shoulder &amp; neck pain, or post-surgery treatment, Skillz Physical Therapy provides a space where your healing is personal, not procedural. We understand that pain isn’t just physical; it’s emotional. It’s the frustration of missing your morning walk, cutting short your bike rides along the Skokie path, or feeling like you can’t keep up with the people and activities that make you, you. At Skillz, you are more than a slot on a crowded schedule. We focused on one goal, helping you feel like yourself again.
