Score
Across the available record, Hoosier Mama Pie Company has 13 inspections on file, the first dated 2010. The most recent report on file is from Jun 9, 2017. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer. Hoosier Mama Pie Company's record stops at Jun 9, 2017, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near four violations per visit across recent inspections.
Looking across the full record, “walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code” is the recurring theme, flagged six times.
That puts the facility ahead of the local pack: the average Chicago restaurant scores 81. Overall, the inspection record reads well.
