Score
The health department has logged seven inspections at Pizza Hut, the earliest from 2010. Pizza Hut was last inspected on Jun 28, 2013. Low risk means the most recent visit produced few or no significant findings. Public records show no inspections at Pizza Hut since Jun 28, 2013, so this file may not reflect current conditions.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near three violations per visit across recent inspections.
Looking across the full record, “walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code” is the recurring theme, flagged five times.
That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Chicago restaurants. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
