Dimo's Pizza Wrigleyville

Restaurant

3463 N Clark St, Chicago, IL 60657

Wrigleyville

Nov 9, 2022 — Short-form complaint

Conditional

A shorter, targeted check prompted by a public complaint.

No certified food manager on duty while serving food, and multiple pizzas held at dangerously cold temperatures.

Key Findings

  • No City of Chicago certified food manager was present during food preparation and service, a critical requirement when handling temperature-controlled foods.
  • Hot foods including pizzas, mac and cheese, and BBQ chicken pizza were held between 67-118°F instead of the required minimum of 135°F, creating food poisoning risk.
  • Staff voluntarily discarded and destroyed the out-of-temperature foods after inspection.

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