Score
Medium Risk

Public records show 16 inspections at Danny's Pizza stretching back to 2010. Danny's Pizza was last inspected on Jun 17, 2022. A medium risk score generally means inspectors found things to fix, though most weren't urgent. Danny's Pizza's record stops at Jun 17, 2022, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.

Things have been moving the wrong way, with the rolling count rising from around four violations to closer to seven violations per visit.

Across the inspection history, “food & non-food contact surfaces cleanable” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded eight times.

Compared to other Chicago restaurants (averaging 81), there's room to close the gap. The record is unremarkable in either direction.
