Score
The health department has logged 27 inspections at Renaldi's Pizza, the earliest from 2010. Inspectors last stopped by on May 8, 2023. A medium risk rating points to a few notable findings at the last inspection, though nothing severe. The file hasn't been updated since May 8, 2023, so take the current picture with that in mind.
Recent inspections have turned up more issues than earlier ones, averaging around 10 violations lately compared to roughly six violations before.
“Physical facilities installed, maintained & clean” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing 12 times across the record.
Restaurants in Chicago average 81, so Renaldi's Pizza trails the local norm. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
