Score
Across the available record, Cholies Pizza has seven inspections on file, the first dated 2010. Cholies Pizza was last inspected on May 30, 2013. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer. Note that Cholies Pizza's inspection history hasn't been updated since May 30, 2013; current conditions may have shifted from what the file shows.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near four violations per visit across recent inspections.
Looking across the full record, “premises maintained free of litter” is the recurring theme, flagged five times.
That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Chicago restaurants. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
