Back in 1976, two friends in Colorado decided that they really missed old fashioned Chicago style pizza and decided to open their own restaurant. Originally named Old Chicago Pasta & Pizza, the restaurant chain was an immediate success.
The company was sold in 2013 to Craftworks Restaurant & Breweries, who changed the name to Old Chicago Pizza and Taproom. With 94 locations in 22 states, the company recently decided to open the business to franchising, with plans to open at least 28 restaurants in an additional 8 states. 
Old Chicago Pizza is best known for their round, thick crust style pizza and craft beer selection. In 2017, the company added a lower priced appetizer selection, as well as increased their wing selection from 4 to 10 different flavors.
Old Chicago Pizza had annual revenue in 2016 of $254 million. Headquarters are now located in Broomfield, Colorado.
