Old Chicago: A Deep Dish of Despair
Who Ordered the Closure?
So, Old Chicago – the place where pizza dreams were born and beer flowed like wine (or at least, like really good craft beer) – is shutting its doors. Let’s dive into this doughy disaster.
The Crust of the Problem
Now, I’m not a pizza expert (I’m more of a connoisseur, if we’re being honest), but even I can tell you that something’s amiss when a pizza joint starts closing locations. It’s like finding out your favorite pair of sweatpants has a hole in the crotch. Sure, you can still wear them, but it’s just not the same.
There are a few theories floating around about why Old Chicago is calling it quits. Some say it’s the rising cost of cheese. Personally, I think it’s more likely that their secret ingredient for the perfect deep dish was actually unicorn tears, and they’ve finally run out.
The Toppings of Truth
While we can speculate all day about why Old Chicago is closing, the truth is probably a bit more mundane. Things like rising rent, increased competition, and changing consumer tastes could all be factors. Plus, let's face it, people are starting to realize that eating a whole pizza to yourself might not be the healthiest choice.
The Final Slice
It’s a sad day for pizza lovers everywhere. Old Chicago was more than just a restaurant; it was a place to gather, to share a beer, and to eat way too much pizza. But hey, at least we still have Domino’s.
