Old Chicago
Best Pizza & Beer Institution in Aurora · CO
Colorado's hometown pizza chain since 1976
Old Chicago Pizza + Taproom brought its Chicago-style pies and deep beer list to Aurora as a neighborhood taproom institution. The menu runs to tavern-thin and pan-style pizzas, calzones, and pub fare, but the draw is the rotating tap wall and the long-running 'World Beer Tour' that regulars work their way through.
The concept began in Boulder in 1976 and grew into a Colorado fixture; the Aurora location has served as a reliable East Iliff gathering spot for games, group nights, and pizza-and-a-pint dinners for decades.
