Recent Developments

In May 2025, Craftworks, Old Chicago's parent company, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and closed all 261 restaurant locations, including Old Chicago.

The company announced plans to "mothball" the restaurants, with hopes to restart operations under certain conditions.

Despite these challenges, Old Chicago's legacy as a beloved destination for pizza enthusiasts and beer aficionados continues to resonate, reflecting its significant impact on the American dining landscape.
