PIZZA POT PIE

5Conceived by the owner in his Chicago Law Office while Dreaming of “il gran giorno” when he would open his restaurant, the Pizza Pot Pie has become a favorite of world-wide pizza connoisseurs who have graced the Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder Company since its inception in 1972.

The Pizza Pot Pie is an individual serving, “made from scratch” with triple-raised Sicilian bread-type dough; a homemade sauce consisting of olive oil, fresh garlic, onions, green peppers, whole plum tomatoes and a special blend of cheeses; sausage made from prime Boston butts; and doorknob-size, whole, fresh mushrooms. (Vegetarian Pizza Pot Pie available.)

The Half-Pounder $17.50 / The One-Pounder $35.00

We have our famous Pizza Pot Pies available frozen to take home.
