Score
Going back to 2011, Jimmy's Pizzeria and Cafe has 13 inspections in the public record. On May 12, 2021, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme. Jimmy's Pizzeria and Cafe's record stops at May 12, 2021, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.
The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around 12 violations each, up from closer to six violations before.
The most common issue across all inspections has been “physical facilities installed, maintained & clean”, showing up eight times.
Compared to other Chicago restaurants (averaging 81), there's room to close the gap. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
