Score
Public records show 20 inspections at Pizza Capri stretching back to 2010. Pizza Capri was last inspected on May 24, 2024. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.
Things are looking better lately, with recent visits averaging around three violations compared to roughly 15 violations earlier on.
Across the inspection history, “walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded 13 times.
The city-wide average for Chicago sits at 81, putting Pizza Capri on the better side of that line. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
