The iconic and delicious Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder is headed to you on Friday, July 24th!
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:&nbsp;<a href="https://dwell.social/4wG2Ixc" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://dwell.social/4wG2Ixc</a>
