Had a great lunch today with my family at Old Chicago Pizza due to the wonderful service provided by our server, Yale! It's not easy working in the service industry, but she did so with a smile and genuine care. She checked on us many times to make sure we were enjoying our meal.There was another waitress that wasn't working our table that saw us trying to take a family photo and instantly offered to take the photo for us. So sweet!The food was also delicious!

This is one of the best places to get a bite and/or a drink with friends and watch your favorite sports. The bar area at this location is huge. There are dozens of tables with TVs everywhere you look. There is a large open area of seating as well as two smaller areas of seating. That’s in addition to the actual bar seating. There is a billiards area with four tables and that room too has multiple TVs with sports action. The tavern style pizza they serve is one of my favorites because the toppings go all the way to the edge. The beer selection is second to none. The bartenders and wait staff are friendly and do a great job.

My family came here for lunch on Saturday afternoon and there were eleven of us. The host did not freak out at the size of our group but was very polite and friendly and found a place for us in a timely manner. Our waitress, Taylor, was amazing! We had the bill divided 4 ways and she got all the orders exactly right! She didn't make us feel like an inconvenience! She made us feel at home and we received our food in a timely manner. The food was delicious! Our lunch was very enjoyable!

The food is always delicious here, and the service is always top-notch. Our latest visit was no exception. As an example, one of the televisions near us was playing a boring infomercial. We asked that the channel be changed, and a manager changed it to a much more interesting sports channel at her earliest opportunity. Our waitress was attentive but did not hover, and she was quick to bring us several additional requests--she didn't forget anything; we requested some other things after the food was served. The food came out in a very reasonable time, and it was delicious! This is always a great place to eat!

Stopped in for lunch and saw they had a lunch buffet which I ordered. Came with a salad either garden or Cesar. I had the Cesar. The dressing was a bit wimpy, but the cheese and croutons carried it. Did not know until after I ordered that the main dish was pizza. I asked if the menu varied by the day of the week. Nope. Pizza every weekday for lunch special. The pizza was OK, but nothing to get excited about.

Poor service made us sit in the barUpdate!! I thought I would give them another chance, so another friend and I went there for lunch, today. They served us brown lettuce and brown apple salad. Not just a few pieces, either. Then, we couldn't find our server to tell him. My friend took the salads right to the kitchen. We walked to the other side of the restaurant to get pizza, and there were no plates! We'll never go back. That is four customers you lost. It used to be so good. Very disappointed. ☹️

A and I went to old Chicago on Academy and Austin Bluffs at about five after 12 PM on Tuesday, 7 February. We ordered two salads which had roasted chicken in it and when they came in 20 minutes later, the lettuce was all brown I tried to find our waiter and couldn't so I yelled into the kitchen, and no one answered. My friend and I returned our salads to the kitchen, and since we couldn't find anyone to help us, we went and helped ourselves to the pizza bar. There were five slices left, so we took four and went back to our table. It was the most disgusting since we got our food about 12:40 PM and she had to be back at work by 1 PM. I will never go back to old Chicago it has gone way down hill.

It's a quiet place if you want to be left alone; that includes not having any service. After 10 minutes of being ignored in the dinning room, I ordered through the bartender who was great; but, what's the point of being seated in the dining room if there's no server (there were plenty walking around)?This place has been going downhill for years. How it's still open is amazing.

Haven’t had oLd Chicago Pizza in years… stopped to have dinner at the North Academy location. The waitress seated us in the back room. It smelled so bad… like musty mold and mildew. Got up to request a different seating and no one assisted us for 5 minutes while waiting to see our waitress. We left. Extremely disappointing.
We came in the other night and although the place was pretty dead, nobody even acknowledged us come in. After a good 5-10 mins of standing there, we started heading back to find a seat as there's also no sign saying wait to be seated. When we get to the tables, there's 1 employee coming to an already seated party. I asked if we seat ourselves and he very rudely replied "no someone will seat you". Only then did a hostess come from I don't know where and seated us. Our server was lovely. His attitude, knowledge, and all around demeanor was very pleasant. The food we ordered there was ok, nothing special but not bad. We both ordered the chicken bacon mac & cheese to go. I'm not exaggerating when I say it tasted like vomit. Worst thing I've ever tasted in my life as far as mac and cheese.

My husband and I walked to the restaurant around 1030 in hopes of getting something to eat and a drink. Online it said it was open until midnight. When we arrived the door was locked. There were customers sitting at the bar drinking. Staff was there. We knocked on the window staff ignored us. A customer came to the door to open and say that they closed early. What a disappointment. Staff ignored us and couldn't even come up themselves to say anything. Whoever is running this restaurant you need better staff . I don't think we will ever try old Chicago again

We went on Christmas Eve,were so thankful they were Open,as several family members had Covid so we could still see the others. And the football game was on, as the Browns Backers go there weekly Hooowever. I ordered a personal pizza (4 pieces) my mother ordered a chicken salad and my son also ordered a personal pizza. Mine was completely raw. I thought maybe the edge of the crust was soggy or something,but no.. the entire 'crust' was dough. It was terrible ?. My mom's chicken salad didn't have any chicken only noodles, almost no sauce. I expect a pizza place to DO pizza well and normally it's delicious. But traveling 65 miles ( from Denver) starving I hoped it was at LEAST decent. We left starving,ate at a fast food place on the way out of town. Im hoping it was just a holiday weekend mess up and everyone doesn't experience that.The service (ERIC I THINK) WAS AMAZING! Everything but the food was great!

Food horrible , 4 calzone raw , salad dressing-horrible -Horrible service waited 45 min for food - was not busy at all this review was 12/21/22. Charged 2x for meal . Called manager never returned my call. Called my bank to dispute charge. My family has lived here 40 years this is the absolute. If this had a neg. Stars this place would get that rating.

What happened to Old Chicago's? We used to love this place. We picked up a to-go order. Our food looks kind of gross, the cheese sauce looks like orange colored water. So sad. It's definitely not what it used to be. No need for one of your copy and paste responses.
