It has a chain feeling, so I wasn't expecting much. That being said, it is a cozy place, and has a legit Chicago feeling. The calzone was surprisingly good and the ingredients were fresh. Tasty marinara and the crust was fluffy yet crispy, too. I'll be back if I'm I the area again. read more

We've been waiting for 30 min to be seated... let's see how the food and service is... Started this draft and I must say the pizza was pretty good but not good enough for us to wanna come back. Definitely feels and smells. The customer service experience I had here was very disappointing. read more

I just ordered the fire calzone and the Caesar salad. In the last 3 days of traveling this has been the best meal I've had at an affordable price. I have literally never had a calzone this good. I'd take a picture but everything is gone. read more

We had a larger group (10 people) so it was good that we called ahead and made arrangements. The staff was very appreciative. Our waitress was friendly but getting a larger order took more time. Drinks came in a couple of waves and food took a bit of time. I get the juggling with the many needs of a large group so I didn't mind the wait. I split their new menu item, Nachos Grande, with a friend. I was underwhelmed with this entree. While the portion size was large, it was mostly chips and the large bowl of salsa in the middle. The toppings of roasted chicken, shredded cheese, diced onions, black beans, and pickled jalapeños were sparse and only sprinkled on the top layer. I prefer a better topping to chip ratio in my nachos and the only thing grande in this dish was the pizza pan it came in. read more

Had dinner here tonight. Old C's is not what it used to be. I had a chicken sandwich, was the smallest sandwich I have ever had with literally 17 French fries. The Italian nachos lacked cheesy, mostly just chips and peppers. The Margs were "ok" at best, lacked alcohol and the mix was so so. Our server was a young kid, he did the best job he could with what he was given. Probably won't go back to this store, I'll try another to see if maybe it was a one off. read more

Went in to watch broncos and Cardinals food was good service was exceptional chole was busy but checked on me just enough that I got a second meal the staff is while I like to stop after work and food is always made to my taste which can be spicy but makes me happy thank to you all read more

Fast service on a late night. Not to thick crust but prefer more crust pan crust. Sauce needs more seasons - more bland than we prefer. read more

I'm a basically average at best human I came in for happy hour at the Lakewood, co location and witnessed the most sick thing I've ever seen. A clearly overserver woman slip out of her bar stool and smacked her head and left blood on the ground every stopped and looked the staff gave her patches and let her drive home never once offering to call an ambulance. They did offer and uber. She was determined to leave and she did. I tried to tell the bartender to call ambulance her goes thanks for your opinion I sling drinks. There is no way that woman should have been allowed to drive over serverd and probably with a concussion. I hope she doesn't kill anyone read more

We found Chicago in Colorado! It's a fun, Chicago-themed bar/restaurant. Really nice staff, quick service, fresh, cold beer on tap to go with juicy, flavorful hot wings, and perfectly crunchy thin-crust pizza. You can order Chicago and Detroit style pizzas, but we were feeling thin crust. Great prices too. Nice, safe location, but also it's Colorado so it's kinda safe everywhere, lol. We'd definitely come back, especially when the upstairs outdoor patio is open. Update: We ended up coming back the next night after our concert at Red Rocks, and the pizza was just as good if not better! Same server in the bar booths, too. Really nice guy. read more

This was one of the best pizza's I have ever had! We had the tossed crust with Pepperoni and sausage n mushrooms! The crust is made with beer that's why I think it's SO delicious! The sausage tastes almost like it's homemade it's that good! The chicken wings were just as delicious, they were cooked to perfection and served with carrots, celery, ranch dressing and blue cheese! Just wonderfully delicious! The drinks were also good! We like this place SO much we had dinner there on Saturday night and linner on Sunday just before we left for the airport back to Cali! All in all I will definitely be back if I'm ever in this area! I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a GOOD pizza and wings! read more

pizza wasn't anything special, the toppings were nice but the crust was soggy. And handed them $40 2 $20 and the person gave back $2 in 2 $1. Went back and said you shorted me but denied and pretty much said sh*t out of luck. Like are there not cameras??? I'd give a 0/5 if I could. Business should be ashamed and worker should be ashamed for their actions. Not cool. read more

This still has to be my favorite old Chicago. This place is clean, fun, and has a good lunch time deal. Plus, Morgan and Mya works there in the bar. Sometime a go they change the recipe of the crust, wasn't very fond of it. The best pizza is served at lunch time because it's cooked on the particular pan which makes the pizza crust super crunchy. We ordered a couple of large pizzas to go a couple of weeks ago and wasn't fond of the crust at all but what they have for lunch the same crust as the individual size pizza and it is top notch. I WOULD recommend going for lunch and having either the Chicago seven or the meat me. read more

Worst customer service in the area, multiple deliveries across multiple platforms and they can't seem to get it right on any of them. Steer well clear of this place read more

Loved my experience here!! Came here for the three-fer deal and ended up also trying the new buffalo chicken rolls and the new wing flavors!! Everything was soooo good! Do NOT skip out on the buffalo chicken rolls! You also cannot beat a three course meal for only $10.99!! read more

The pizza looked sloppy from the start. I asked for no peppers and it was full of peppers. There were no black olives but three tiny green olives on the side. The salad was dry. The sausage did have good flavor though read more

The service and food was horrible. never again will we be going here . use to be a good place to eat but not anymore. GM emailed us to do a refund but no reply or refund from the GM . will be telling friends and family to avoid this old Chicago. very disappointed with staff and GM read more

We stopped by for happy hour and enjoyed our visit. Our waitress Maria was very personal and laughed with our table. We will go back and request her! Thank you! read more

Such a great last minute dinner choice. We would have gone back for the yummy pizza alone but our server Deepak was so pleasant and the manager Jess went above and beyond. We haven't experienced this type of service in a long time! read more

Food is still good. Service still good. What's even better is my health! So come on down to OC and join the tour. read more

Cute place- close to hotel. Nice beer and drink selection. Sat in bar area- nice vibe. Food was good- menu pretty big. I opted for meatball appetizer while my on ordered the spaghetti and meatballs. The only drawback was I asked for bread to soak up my sauce- they brought 2 very tiny slices- like half my palm of bread they toasted and added garlic to- then charged $1 - yeah It was 4 stars til then. Waited good, place could use an update and deep cleaning. Got back one night late from sightseeing and ended up ordering pizza delivery from there- not gonna lie/ the pepperoni with hot sauce - just my jam! Crust a bit soggy- but I took that as it was delivered. Would def revisit if ever in town again. read more

The location is fantastic and the staff is incredibly welcoming. I come here when I'm working in the area and it is by far the best old Chicago experience I've had. The food, beer, and staff are fantastic. I've been coming here since 2019 have learned about so many new beers from Allan, who recommended the Twisted Tender which I now can't get enough of. Jake, another bartender, is also amazing and always has a happy and friendly demeanor. read more

First time eating at the establishment. Things started off a bit rocky. First of all, the was no host to seat us. My party and I walked to the bar area and asked a server do we seat ourselves. She replied "yes". As we were sitting down the host, some young guy questioned who told us to seat. I explained what we were told. It appeared as if he wanted to have some type of issue with us. I told a big step and didn't reply. I just sat down. Well Jenzeka, our server saved the entire experience. She apologized for the wait. She was VERY polite and professional. If it wasn't for Jenzeka I would not go back EVER!! I ordered the Chicago 7 calzone was good!! I would go back if Jenzeka can be my server!! read more

I had visited a few times during the week/weekend for late night HH, my rating is the avg. of those visits. What I learned is during the week the service is spotty, nobody greets you, and they rush to get you out the door, in fact they closed 30 minutes early on two of my visits; even though we wanted to spend more $$. (I guess they had a hot date or something?) Although, they have a large selection of beer, my 1/2/3 selection were out and $5 beer, regular $9 is a terrible deal for beer and the personal pan pizza was good, but $6; used to be $2. The calzone crust was great, but inside the ingredients were nothing special and the cook didn't even chop the onions. (We're not big fans of huge chunks of raw onion.) Apparently, some foreign company now owns OC, and they aren't doing a great job. FYI -The weekend night experience is better, than the week night for sure! Either way we found some other places with better prices and service. read more

Went here during the summer. We were hungry and they apparently had closed off the dining area. So we were seated at the booth near the bar. They were quick in seating us so I can't complain. The place had really loud music which if you have kids or older people with you it might not be something they would like. In our case the people we ate with wasn't a huge fan of the loud music. I had the classic pizza which had pepperoni and sausage, it was filling and exactly what I wanted. The entire plate was for myself. My significant other ordered spinach, chicken, and avocado salad. Also, he ordered the Sicilian pepperoni rolls, which I tasted and I highly recommend ordering it. Not pictured was cheesecake, which he and our company had. They loved it. read more

I hate leaving a bad review. I really do. But my visit here was abysmal. I was dining in at a lunch hour here and started off with the cheesy bread, which was toasted french bread slices with a melted square of cheese on it with some parsley. Not that bad, but not anything amazing. I ordered a chicken carbonara, and my kid ordered a burger as did my partner. When the burgers came out, both of the dishes patties were burned to a crisp. Absolutely black and stiff. My dish came out with chicken that was minced into almost a paste, on a bed of spaghetti and with very little sauce. The dish was absolutely drowning and completely covered by a layer of parsley. No one even tried our dishes and we promptly left. read more

Ordered a drink took 10 mins to get bc the the bartender wad off socializing at at table. Finally got my drink, it was THE worst long Island iced tea I have ever tasted. Since I was sitting at the bar but a table close enough to the bar to belittle me to customers about the drink I sent back. Ordered a pizza Togo, pepperoni and onions, I got a bonus with the onions the root of the onion. Won't be going back there. The only positive thing was Amber the waitress she was great trying to fix others mistakes. Give that woman a raise. read more

I will never recommend this location to anyone. Terrible service, it took 50 minutes to get the food out. They messed up the order, then took forever to get the food out. They completely forgot two of the orders. Very ridiculous!!! Awful service, and the pizza was burned and terrible. They should be ashamed!!! read more

I visited Old Chicago about a week ago and it was real busy and Maria was our server. Despite the rush, she still managed to deliver really good service. Maria was friendly, professional, and took the time to chat with us, even recommending some great dishes. Even though she was clearly handling a lot of tables she kept a positive and calm attitude and handled it like a pro. She was super nice and stayed on top of everything, making our experience great. Maria is a total pro, and I highly recommend asking for her if you dine here 10/10 read more

This place should be shut down. Only the smell of the dirty carpet greets you at the door because there's definitely not any staff greeting or seating you. Placed an online order an hour in advance driving in from out of state. Ordered 2 grilled chicken sandwiches. I have never ever ever received such terrible food. The chicken was completely charred. Inedible. I paid extra for avocado on it. The sliver I received was outside of the sandwich, along with brown lettuce. How much do you hate your job that you can serve that to a customer with no shame at all. Maybe they should keep $15.00 from the server and cooks checks so they know how a paying customer feels when we spend our hard earned money in an establishment that hires apathetic staff and they give out food like that. I paid for food and couldn't eat it. That's not right. That was just the chicken sandwiches. I also ordered a personal size cheese pizza and the fish and chips. Both entrees were as much of a letdown but I'll just post the photos so you can see for yourself. I'm not wasting anymore of my time on this place. Tell your family friends and neighbors and everyone you know to stay away from this dirty disgraceful place. read more

Had dinner at 7:30 on a Wednesday night. Not busy, but saw our waitress one time...when she took our order. Never came to check on us to see if food was delivered properly. Neve came back for refills...so we were all dry by the time we hunted her down and got our ticket. The table beside us has been waiting for over 30 minutes to get their credit cards back. There were 12 tables in our vicinity and every single one of them was dirty and not bussed...will never set foot in this restaurant again. read more

The wait staff is slow at greeting patrons at the door and coming to the table to see what they want to drink. I also had to ask for a menu at this point I hope their food is better than the service. All the servers were rude. When I came in the front door the server asked me what do want and why are you here I told him I was going to get food here if that's ok. He then told me to go sit at the bar if it's to crowded then I'll seat you. The servers need to learn better guest service. In my profession as a food critic.the food was great but the service was horrible read more

Took over an hour to receive our food (thin crust pizza and Italian Nachos). I complained because larger groups around us all received their food before us. The waitress said that the manager would come out. About 5 minutes later, the manager came out and said she would comp everything and apologized. When we finished, the waitress gave us employee discount. I told her the manager said she would comp the meal. She said that was the only thing they could do. Not again. read more

I came with a. Group of friends. Ordered a burger, medium, it was charred to burned. Barely chewable. Seriously the worst burger I've had in years. After, we waited for 47 minutes for our check. The worst place I've eaten in a long time. Thanks for ensuring our group won't return. read more

Absolutely the worst service I've ever had at an Old Chicago in my lifetime. The experience was so unpleasant from the host, to the server, to the manager who stopped by my table to ask how things were, that common decency prevents my commenting here. I will never set foot in this restaurant again. Service has declined to the point where it doesn't exist anymore. So has the quality of the food and the attentiveness of the servers. Not surprising they have a "Help Wanted" sign hanging out front. Obviously, no one wants to work here and the people that do work here, probably hate their jobs. Avoid this place like the plague. Fool me once shame on you; fool me twice shame on me. read more

Excellent food. Delivery was quick. Highly recommend the farmers daughter pizza on cauliflower crust.

Kelly the hostess hung up on me the first time I called , second time left me on hold for ten minutes and was talking to coworkers close enough to the phone for me to hear ... then on my third call she informed me she had to set a 8 top that why she couldn't take my order. Sad to see what old Chicago has become read more

I came in last night with a bunch of theatre people after a closing weekend at the Lakewood Cultural Center. We came in wayyyy too early for our reservation but we're still seated right away. Given the fact that we were literally on the OPPOSITE side of everything in that restaurant, we were greeted and helped out with a very friendly Korrin and she did everything in her power to make sure we had a lovely experience! Always love the food (VERY comforting) and we were able to converse and enjoy our night! Thank you, again, Korrin!! :) read more

Wow. Such a let down after going to other Old Chicago's. Ordered take out on a Wednesday at 7:47 pm. Online said 20 minutes. Food was finally ready at 8:25. While waiting for food was asked 3 times what order we were waiting for, no one had a clue where food was or who it belonged too. What did we order? A burger (requested GF bun, did not get, left off the pickles (crucial reason for this choice) and tall order of wings. ***also ordered a side salad as the "gluten sensitive" option and it was loaded with croutons. No silverware offered or given. Food was barely "warm" upon getting it. I get places are busy and getting back to normal but this was a major disappointment. read more
