Score
Pizza Nova has been inspected 21 times since 2011. On Sep 8, 2025, the health department conducted the most recent visit. A low risk rating suggests inspectors haven't found much to be concerned about lately.
Recent inspections have turned up roughly the same number of issues each time, hovering near four violations per visit.
“Thermometers provided & accurate” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing nine times across the record.
Compared to the broader Chicago restaurant scene, this is about average. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
