Score
Public records show 19 inspections at Amatos Pizza stretching back to 2010. The latest inspection on file is from Jun 8, 2022. Diners can read the low risk label as a sign that recent inspections have gone well. Public records show no inspections at Amatos Pizza since Jun 8, 2022, so this file may not reflect current conditions.
Inspection results have stayed in a similar range over the last few visits, averaging around seven violations each.
The pattern that stands out is “food and non-food contact equipment utensils clean”, which has been cited 11 times.
That's lower than the typical Chicago restaurant, which scores around 81. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
