*(4.4) OC has always hit the spot. I've been eating at them for more than a decade now and am truly astounded they aren't more known or popular. The happy hour specials, which ten years ago were legendary, are only slightly less so these days. Prices, at least for drinks, and for some food, have not risen commensurate to competitors. For that alone, they should be commended. But let's get real, how many of our favorite places reward us with money or prizes for drinking there? How many would even give you a free meal for a birthday? There is ALWAYS a nice beer to be had here, good specials mid/late happy hours, and the pepp rolls are divine. OC has a special place in my heart and I always look forward to the next visit. read more

Old Chicago Pizza + Taproom - Double Deckeroni - Pizza Near Me - DULUTH, Minnesota

I was so sad when they closed old Chicago in Roseville. We had been going there for years . When we went up to duluth we had to check out this place. We weren't super hungry but we indulged jn the Italian nachos , wings and the spinach dip. Definitely a big yes for the Italian nachos, I missed them so much. I didn't partake in the wings since my brother and boyfriend went Tennessee hot but they enjoyed them. The spinach dip was a no for me but my brother enjoyed it. They still have a huge selection of beers . Since we were just jn town for a couple days we did not partake in the flight to get the cinco de mayo tshirt . The service was awesome and I loved the sense of humor our server had . Would recommend. This is a much bigger old Chicago than the one I had in Roseville and has a section with a large bar and arcade games. We will come back when we are jn town. read more

There are not many Old Chicago Pizza joints in Minnesota anymore so when I come up to the Duluth area, I like to stop by and partake in some good beer and bar food. The pizza is pretty good but honestly, the two things I enjoy more than that are the Italian Nachos and Buffalo Chicken Rollups. You can make a meal out of just those two appetizers alone and they are so good! This location is right in the heart of Canal Park and is attached to The Suites Hotel, so it is a great and easy choice to pick when staying there. My family can enjoy the pool and hot tub area while I walk to pick up dinner and I don't even have to go outside! Love it. Service is friendly and quick, picking up is a breeze and wait times are low. You can't go wrong with beer and pizza and is a choice that my family loves when we are looking for something delicious and quick. Now that Old Chicago is harder to find where we live, it is even more of a treat for us. read more

Pizza wasn't bad, but the service was pretty slow. We ordered mostly cheese pizzas, a salad, and fries, and it took more than 50min to arrive. After we ordered we didn't see the waitress again until the food came. I'd expect somebody to at least stop by once to refill water or something during the meal. The place is also jam-packed with TVs wall-to-wall and the sound was up through the roof, so the atmosphere was a bit overwhelming and we didn't stand a chance of conversing. The food wasn't bad, but I ordered a deep dish pizza expecting it to be Chicago-style and was sadly disappointed with a regular pizza. read more

So after an incredibly long day, an event stopped in to get some food. They said there's a half-hour wait, we said no problem. Then they come home and say, " Oh, sorry, we didn't offer you a to-go menu, but we're closing the kitchen, and sorry for your luck. We're not serving you any food. We waited almost 30 minutes... we could have order to go if we would have known they weren't going to honor there wait list! Horrible read more

Had a group of 9 and no reservation on a Saturday and Old Chicago was very nice and found us a table very quickly. Once sat server was over almost immediately and the restaurant was very busy. My drink was delicious but very sweet. We opted for some appetizers and not pictured chicken strips and ranch. Most my friends are big ranch fans and swears Old Chicago has the best ranch. This is a great spot for groups! Good food and drinks! read more

Food as been OK and large beer selection but the fact that they removed my tag for the World Beer Tour makes it so I will never come back to eat. Thinking of amount of money to accomplish and they can't put up anymore boards is ridiculous. read more

Unreal, went there in January 31st around 845 pm Service was slowly than the police response to the a shooting on Martin Luther King BLVD in any city. On top of that we get our food to go after it took over an hour to get a pizza and spindip. Next day we finally get to eat our left overs and we both find long gross hairs in our food baked into the pizza and the dip. We are bald... Yall need to tell whatever fat back hairy sunbich in the kitchen to wear a freaking hair net. Service sucked food sucked wont go back for awhile. read more

Old Chicago never seems to disappoint. Our waitress was awesome and came right when she noticed anything we needed. I got the best sour beer that i believe was an apricot sour beer it was fire. I got a chicken bacon ranch individual pizza which was flatbread it was bomb. I also got the buffalo wings no bone, those are delicious per usual. My co worker got spaghetti and meatballs he said it hide a little bit of heat to it. This was the best Old Chicago I have ever been to it had a pool table and bubble hockey. Yah just can't go wrong read more

We were so excited to find a sit down place that was open late! They have a really extensive list of beers, lots of great local options. Chicken parm was delicious, waitress was super nice. That being said, please do NOT get their boneless chicken wings We paid something close to 35 dollars for 20 boneless wings that were essentially frozen chicken nuggets with barely any sauce!!! We totally regret not getting their pizza... clearly wings are not their speciality. Otherwise, completely recommend stopping by if you're in the area. read more

My first time trying old Chicago. Th pizza buns have to have been the best I have ever had. The nachos were very unique as in the chips were like a hybrid of crispy and soft shell. The sauce was a little bit on the spicy side. read more

Old Chicago Pizza + Taproom - Chi town trio - Pizza Near Me - DULUTH, Minnesota

Walked into the place being occupied by 2 tables and 1 person at the bar, took at least 5-7 to be sat at a table. Once we were sat the waiter got the guy who came in after us water and took his order. We sat at the table for 10 mins before we were acknowledged while the waiter was chatting with another table who already had food. Food sucked and was way over priced. It took 40 mins for 2 burgers and an appetizer to come out. Waiter did not come by one time to fill waters. Service sucks, food sucks. DO NOT VISIT!! read more

This place was the first stop on our weekend get-away to Duluth Canal Park. We were extremely hungry, so this was a test. We were seated almost immediately in the dining area and the server was Jonny on the spot. Our drink order was taken and served very quickly. I decided to stick to the basic burger. The prep time was under 15 minutes, and everything was served hot. The hamburger had very good flavor and fries were tasty. The place had plenty of TVs and the atmosphere was inviting. We revisited this place a couple days later and it was packed! We waited about 15 minutes for a table. I decided to venture a bit deeper into the menu and ordered the Mac & Cheese w/Chicken. Stick to the burger menu! This menu item lowered the rating! Still a good place for a burger and FF as you catch a sporting event on the many televisions. read more

I used to love old Chicago the food was great, and the service was good, my husband worked there for like a year and during that time started having an affair with the general manager Kerry Williard, which has been very devastating for me and my family as well as borders the lines of sexual harassment to have sexual relationships with employess who work underneath you. Hopefully she is not continuing to do so but if I had to guess I'd have to say it's pretty likely. Obviously she is not very professional and clearly shouldn't be in this position, and this Was all discovered after going thru his phone and seeing sexually explicit photos of Kerry that she sent him. As well as indecent text messages. She was aware he was/is married, and after speaking to her in person she has continued to reach out to him. So as Far as atmosphere I'd have to say it's horrible. Until she is removed we will no longer be patrons of this establishment. read more

Five Star Pizza and Five Star Service. Not only was their version of a Hawaiian pizza to die for but our server went above and beyond with a smile on his face the whole time. My family can be a lot and he handled it in stride. I also enjoyed the Spinach Dip! Seriously though, that Hawaiian pizza is not something to sleep on. It's different in the best way. Very flavorful. read more

Came to Duluth late in the evening and ordered delivery. First time I checked, it would be delivered by 10:04. By the time it arrived it was 11:04. Asked for 3 forks and knives, none were provided and neither were napkins. Thankfully the hotel was great to find some for us. We ordered a calzone, spinach salad and spaghetti with meatballs as well. Calzone was warm, lots of breading but good filling and sauce. Spaghetti purchaser said sauce was just ok. Salad was good size. The whole order would've been better with an accurate time of delivery as stated when we ordered -- 10:04. The time of delivery changed at least 3 times after that. Although delivery was through Uber, it reflects back to the business ultimately. read more

Service was really slow for an empty restaurant . Food was ok. Took about 35 minutes for a server to approach us and gave us very negative attitude and then proceeded to stare at us for the entire time we were there. Definitely would recommend other places before going here read more

Old Chicago. After laying on the rocks for thirty minutes at a local state park we needed some fuel. Yeah, old Chicago sounded good. We walked in and they asked do we prefer a real life menu or a virtual menu? we decided on the real life menu. Now i'm glad I did as I see someone else had problems with the rendered menu. It was good vibes and the waitress was friendly and attentive. The only reason i removed a star is because our orders took about two centuries to come out and we were so hungry. It didn't seem busy either. But I have some empathy because you never know when someone doesn't show up for work or how can restaurants decide on a schedule in these unprecedented times? How do you know how many people will come and eat in a pandemic on a given day? They have to guess I think. Plus maybe they had a bunch of to go orders, I don't know. The food was hot and correct and delicious when it did arrive. Thank you old Chicago. read more

We came here for lunch. My son had the chicken tender's appetizer (not pictured), my husband had Chicago 7 calzone with fried pickles, and I had the Chi Trio appetizer. The chicken tenders were over cooked a little so the breading had several hard parts to it. Son gave it a a rating of 5/10. The calzone was half bread and but once through all the bread, it was delicious. The fried pickles were AMAZING! The Trio appetizer was good. Mozzarella sticks weren't very warm. The rest was good. The biggest complaint would be that they water down the ranch to the extreme so it's like water instead of a creamy dressing with substance. The waitress was attentive and great! Would visit again. read more

Bravo to our LONE front side worker: host, bartender, wait staff, busboy. The only thing he didn't do was make the pizza. For this you deserve the highest kudos & an award from Old Chicago!

I went to Old Chicago in Duluth this weekend for lunch with some friends. Everyone was super nice. We were very pleased with the service and we appreciated the server offering to redo our pizza that wasn't up to the quality she liked. I forgot her name but she was great!! The ambiance is casual and clean. I would definitely go back! read more

Directly in the lively city of Duluth, MN we have Canal Park in the middle of this amazingly lit up area on Lake Street South we have Old Chicago. This here, although I havnt clicked a "Check In" on this place due to not being on Yelp for very long, this is a regular place I love to stop at. The outside blue, red and silver colors give off a hip vibe that tourist and locals absolutely love. As you walk in your immediately greeted by staff who don't hold back on wanting to seat you right away. As for me, if ai have family I'd like a booth but if it's just myself and the wife or even just myself and a friend I like to sit where all the action is, right at the bar! Haha this place is definitely known to be a sports bar so as you look around you can see multiple tvs all with different sports on and even NASCAR racing, when it's game day usually in Sundays customers are all gathered to watch football!! And when the Vikings are playing the Packers.....we'll let's just say look out!! This place is pretty great any day of the week but what really keeps me coming back is the food and the variety of beers on tap. They are constantly rotating and it's amazing what comes in, what's in season, and what you can drink to add a notch onto your OC Rewards. If your local or make a trip to Duluth often it's worth to get on the membership and every beer you drink gets you closer to rewards, hats, sweaters, tshirts, pizza and wings!! The mini tours are incredible too with limited time shirts so get on the wagon and have a ball. This place is great for parties, events, and just casual fun for you and the whole family. Try it out! And you won't be disappointed' read more

This review was going to be much much worse until Jason the manager intervened in our experience. We were nearby at adventure zone and ordered our dinner online. When we were alerted that it was ready, we left our activity and walked to the restaurant. We also called the shuttle service from our hotel to bring us back. When we got to the restaurant, we told the many (4-5) employees at the host stand what we were there for and they said the order was being worked on but they didn't have an estimated time for us. A few minutes later, one of the hosts asked if we were waiting for a table and I let her know we thought our food would be ready and asked if she could check. She took our name and went back to the kitchen. When she returned, she said the order was nearly ready. The shuttle showed up shortly after. I headed outside and asked if the shuttle could do a lap since the food wasn't ready yet. Another 4 minutes later, the shuttle was back and I loaded myself and my toddler in leaving my husband to wait for food. When he asked for an update, he was informed the order wasn't even started but they were working on it now. I headed back to the hotel with my toddler with the plan to get our truck and come back to pick up my husband. All in all, we thought this would be a simple order with a simple pick up process but it turned into a real mess. As I'm writing this, my husband is walking back to our hotel from canal park with the food as I try to get our toddler down to sleep at a decent hour. I called the restaurant because my husband is too nice to complain but an hour wait for Sicilian rolls, a pesto chicken dish and a chicken Caesar salad is ridiculous. And Jason the manager agreed. He was completely in agreement that the order should not have happened this was and he comped our entire meal. If Jason had taken a different approach with me, this review would have a very different tone. I appreciated that he took accountability for his team and was genuinely apologetic for our experience. All in all, I can appreciate that it's a busy Saturday night. I can also appreciate that restaurants are severely understaffed. And we are reasonable, patient customers with service industry experience in our pasts. We get it. But we also know what's unacceptable. And everyone involved agreed this was not the ideal experience. So if you're reading this, thank you Jason. read more

In Duluth on May 17, for 3 days. This was one of the few places open past 9pm and we were hungry. Stopped to Old Chicago Pizza around 9:30pm, ordered a pizza to go from a very friendly hostess and sat at the bar to wait. Bartender gave us samples of 6 different beers to try, to find ones we liked. So friendly and nice. Pizza was awesome too! If you're ever in Duluth, MN, looking for some good pizza and great service, go to Canal Park for some Old Chicago grub! You won't be disappointed! read more

Was at OC with a large group, but we had a reservation weeks in advance, so they knew we'd be there. Group of 50, and they gave us 1 waitress. Needless to say, service was atrociously slow. I had a salad, but never received any dressing, so literally ate lettuce, tomatoes, and chicken without any dressing because the waitress was too busy to ask for dressing. I'd go back, but calzone only next time. read more

Came here after exploring downtown Duluth for a pizza to go. We got the supreme and the crust was tasty - kind of deep fried like jets, but the cheese seemed undercooked (not browned) and just wasn't the best pizza I have had read more

Split a side caesar and an original cauliflower crust pizza, with a blueberry cider on the side. Everything was delicious, but the pizza in particular blew us away. It genuinely was just like a "regular" thin crust pizza, no awful crumbly bits usually associated with cauliflower crust. The salad was fresh and creamy. The cider was perfectly refreshing and a great choice on a hot day. Service was pleasant. I did dock a star because the toppings on our pizza were extremely skimpy, but otherwise it was an unexpectedly great visit. I can't wait to try it again next time I am in MN! read more

The name Old Chicago Pizza is misleading, nothing about the pizza they make here says Chicago style pizza. Don't get me wrong it wasn't bad. I ordered a pepperoni & peperoncini deep dish pizza and they didn't put enough pepperoni. The hazy ipa (King Sue) I had while I waited for my order was very good. I recommend that brew. Social distancing was being practiced which is good and all employees were wearing masks. Some wearing gloves. read more
