Score
Inspectors have visited Papanino's Pizza six times, with records going back to 2015. The most recent visit was on Dec 30, 2019. Diners may want to take note: high risk reflects issues that a health inspector considered important. The file hasn't been updated since Dec 30, 2019, so take the current picture with that in mind.
Violation counts have ticked up lately, averaging around seven violations per visit versus roughly four violations earlier in the record.
When inspectors have written things up, “* certified food manager on site” has been the most frequent reason, cited three times.
Compared to other Chicago restaurants (averaging 81), there's room to close the gap. The pattern in the record is worth a careful look.
