Score
Lula B's Pizzaria appears in inspection records five times, starting in 2019. The most recent report on file is from Oct 8, 2020. Diners may want to take note: high risk reflects issues that a health inspector considered important. Public records show no inspections at Lula B's Pizzaria since Oct 8, 2020, so this file may not reflect current conditions.
The picture has improved over the last few visits: recent inspections have averaged around 15 violations, down from roughly 18 violations earlier in the record.
The pattern that stands out is “food & non-food contact surfaces cleanable”, which has been cited six times.
By comparison, the average Chicago facility scores 81, putting Lula B's Pizzaria on the weaker side. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
