Low Risk

Public records show 15 inspections at Gulliver's Pizza stretching back to 2011. The most recent visit was on Nov 26, 2021. A low risk rating suggests inspectors haven't found much to be concerned about lately. The file hasn't been updated since Nov 26, 2021, so take the current picture with that in mind.

Recent inspections have turned up roughly the same number of issues each time, hovering near five violations per visit.

Looking across the full record, “walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code” is the recurring theme, flagged eight times.

That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Chicago restaurants. Taken together, the history is a positive one.
