Strapoli Pizzeria And All Day Cafe

Restaurant

545 W Diversey Pkwy, Chicago, IL 60614

Lincoln Park

Aug 11, 2025 โ€” Canvass inspection

Pass

A routine, unannounced visit by a city health inspector.

Serving plates and silverware left exposed to dust; large mixing bowl can't fit in dishwasher.

Key Findings

  • Serving plates on kitchen shelves and silverware at dining tables were not properly stored or covered, allowing dust accumulation.
  • A large mixing bowl cannot fit in the dishwashing machine, making proper sanitization impossible without a documented alternative procedure.

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