Medium Risk

With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. The newest entry in the record is dated Jan 10, 2011. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme. Public records show no inspections at Rostis Pizza since Jan 10, 2011, so this file may not reflect current conditions.

The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around six violations each, up from closer to three violations before.

Looking across the full record, “food and non-food contact equipment utensils clean” is the recurring theme, flagged two times.

By comparison, the average Chicago facility scores 81, putting Rostis Pizza on the weaker side. The inspection history reads as standard for a restaurant of this size.
