Reviews for Old Chicago Pizza + Taproom in Columbia, SC

I used to stop here every time we came to Columbia. I loved the pizza. Especially the Grinder. OMG! But it is no longer on the... menu. So we ordered a pizza w/ pub style crust (very thin, almost cracker crisp crust). This crust wasn't really thin or crispy.And for some reason the veggies were uncooked & just sprinkled on top of our pizza. They weren't under the cheese. It was likewe requested it that way; but we didn't. Anyway, I ate a piece, my boyfriend ate two and we were finished. The wings wereawesome. Fried perfectly. And we had an assortment of flavors. All great. The cookie was way too hard & we didn't like theicecream either. We won't be back. Sorry. Read more

Had a fantastic experience altogether. Sat outside and enjoyed the weather. Burgers and pizza were incredible with a great draft... selection. Service was really great. We visited on a Sunday and often Sundays are slack but they really did a great job. Lookforward to visiting again for sure. Read more

I cannot call it authentic Chicago pizza but atmosphere was great. I was born and raised in Chicago Illinois. I selected this... place because I wanted a taste of home. The menu was professional, and I enjoyed the build your pizza option. although theservice was good the quality of the pizza cannot be held up to authentic Chicago pizza. HOWEVER, I did enjoy the atmosphere inthis restaurant. I had a great conversation with an old friend. Plenty of tvs to watch sports. I would recommend this place toanybody. Just know that it is not authentic Chicago pizza but the menu is still solid. Read more

After a long day of traveling, my family was drawn to Old Chicago to grab some dinner before finishing our trip! It was the best... decision we made! The pizzas were delicious and the two who ordered lasagna and spaghetti and meatballs cleared their plates!Also, our server was really nice and energetic. Read more

Casual pub like atmosphere in this restaurant offering their own crafted beer. Tried their unfiltered Pilsner on draft, which... was quite delicious. Highly recommend the Beer Battered Burger and the Chicago 7 pan pizza. Service was prompt and friendly.Thanks Jack! Read more

We shared the Italian Nachos which were great. I had the Farmer's Daughter deep dish and Wife had the Double Deckeroni on Ale... bread. We filled up on Nachos so brought most of the pizza home. Service was good but it wasn't busy at the time. Read more

The parking is a little tricky and may require street parking if its really busy. Once inside the atmosphere of the old building... is pleasant and fun. We tried the Italian Nachos and they are a must. Pasta dough was fried into a chip with crunch which thendrove peppers, sausage, cheese, and the most flavorful marinara sauce right into my mouth. Must Try! The pizza, both the pubpizza and the regular were really good. What makes them stand out is the quality of ingredients. We also tried a salad and itwas fresh, the chicken cooked prefect, the apples were yellow and fresh, and the dressing was on the side. The wait staff wasdecent. They seem a bit overworked or understaffed but they managed. We didn't have a frustrating moment but we did need to askfor refills. The food quality by far would send me back. Read more
