Score
Low Risk

Inspectors have visited Pizza Hut four times, with records going back to 2010. The most recent visit was on Apr 18, 2011. Diners can read the low risk label as a sign that recent inspections have gone well. Note that Pizza Hut's inspection history hasn't been updated since Apr 18, 2011; current conditions may have shifted from what the file shows.

The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around four violations to closer to one violation per visit over the last few inspections.

Across the inspection history, “food and non-food contact surfaces properly designed” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded two times.

That puts the facility ahead of the local pack: the average Chicago restaurant scores 81. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
