Bonci Roman Style Pizzaria

Restaurant

1855 W Diversey Pkwy, Chicago, IL 60614

Lincoln Park

Sep 8, 2025 — Canvass inspection

Conditional

A routine, unannounced visit by a city health inspector.

50 lbs of pizza left unrefrigerated without time logs; internal temps only 70-72°F, all discarded.

Key Findings

  • No approved written procedure for time-controlled cooling of displayed pizzas, and staff failed to maintain time logs for cooked items on sale.
  • 10 trays of cooked pizza were held at dangerously low temperatures (70-72°F internal) without temperature control; approximately $230 worth of food was voluntarily discarded.
  • Staff lack proof of food handler training certificates—a violation that persists from a previous inspection dated 9/20/2024.
  • Loose faucet at the hand-washing sink in the dish-washing area requires repair.

Key findings are derived directly from the inspector's notes from the Chicago Department of Public Health. See the full violation notes below.
