Nestled in a narrow brick Victorian building at 2121 North Clark Street, the brown facade of Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder Company marks a site of both historic weight and enduring charm—it stands directly across from the location of the infamous St. Valentine’s Day Massacre of February 14, 1929. While the neighborhood’s past is steeped in turmoil, stepping inside the restaurant reveals a warm, inviting atmosphere rooted in the old-world charm and Midwestern hospitality that founder Albert H. Beaver envisioned when he opened the doors in April 1972.
