Score
Going back to 2011, Pizza Mania 2 has 18 inspections in the public record. On May 12, 2023, the health department conducted the most recent visit. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit. The file hasn't been updated since May 12, 2023, so take the current picture with that in mind.
Things have been moving in the right direction, with the rolling count dropping from around six violations to closer to three violations per visit.
Looking across the full record, “insects, rodents, & animals not present” is the recurring theme, flagged nine times.
Compared to the broader Chicago restaurant scene, where the average is 81, this is a stronger showing. Overall, the inspection record reads well.
