Professor Pizza - Old Town

Professor Pizza - Old Town is a casual Chicago option with a schedule that is easiest to plan around in the evening. The verified hours run 4–10 PM Monday through Thursday, 11 AM–12 AM Friday and Saturday, 11 AM–10 PM Sunday, giving it later weekend flexibility than the early-week schedule.

Use it for an easy evening, not a high-ceremony meal

The clearest planning fit is a casual visit, especially on weekends when the longer hours give more flexibility. Weekday service begins at 4 PM, while Friday through Sunday also include earlier hours. For a food-focused explorer, the practical value is having a direct Chicago option with published hours rather than building the whole outing around a more formal or higher-commitment restaurant.

Keep expectations calibrated around the verified details: the dress code is casual, the schedule is strongest for dinner and weekend plans. If the night needs a more elaborate setting or a longer meal, compare it with other Chicago dining options before deciding.
