Two places I alway liked when I worked down there and both are a long home run (or foul ball) away from Wrigley. The first one is Leona's on Sheffield. Sheffield is the street that runs directly behind right field. You take Sheffield south a few blocks and you will come to a great little neighborhood type restaurant that has great pizza, great beefs and a whole lot more.

CRAP! I just looked at they closed this Leona's location....scrap that idea!! Dang I used to love that place when I worked at Wrigley. Oh well.

The other place I reccomend if you are looking for a good pie is Chicago Grinder Company. They are North on Clark Street (the street that the McDonalds is on right outside of Wrigley) and are almost right across the street from where the St. Valentines Day massacre occurred. They make an incredible pizza pot pie which is very much different than your normal Chicago deep dish (see the menu below). This used to be a favorite of many of my friends when they would go to games. Check it out

For some reason this made me smile. I love history.

I will be sure to keep these suggestions in mind. Thank you.

How's it any different than peeing in a urinal? There's water running through it and even "mints". Man up.

What's funny is when there's a St. Louis game and the hicks from the south think it's a cow waterer and drink out of it.

We ate pizza at D'agostino's last night after the game...was about 4 blocks from Wrigley...pretty good for a small, dive pub...was about $8 for a large, one-topping pizza...I'd definitely go back...

Any great place in Wrigley to get an authentic pie or dog?

Places like that are exactly what I love.

God I miss living there and being able to go to Wrigley whenever I want. I've been to many stadiums across the country when I worked for Ringling Brothers and nothing compares to Wrigley.

The first time I took my wife to Wrigley she fell in love and was instantly a Cubs fan(it helped that it was against the Cardinals and we clinched the division that day) but it is so much more than just a game. Taking the whole place in while watching a game and thinking of all the history that has all taken place there gives you goosebumps

Dag's is good too.

I believe they are the official pizza supplier for Wrigley now as well.

rob167 · Apr 24, 2014

I don't know if it was a happy hour special, or if they have specials on game day, but the menu said large pizzas were about $17...we were pleasantly surprised when she brought our bill...

Well ya know, i couldn't really tell ya there =\

Hahaha! Any time they can, a Chicago native will poke fun at the hick little-brother town down the 55

My grandpa grew up and lived in chicago til he was about 40 and he would tell stories aof how the St. Louis Hick Farmers would try ever so hard in those Stanley Cup Finals only to get swept over and over. Oh man good times.

I was genuinely upset that I could no longer get an armour hot dog either, as Vienna is now the only hot dog supplier.

Much more upset they discontinued their long relationship with Old Style. I don't like Bud and now the only other choice is 312, at a premium.

Is that throughout the whole stadium or just the vendors that walk the aisle? I love old style and feel its as much a part of Wrigley as the Ivy

I do believe, and a Crain's Business article confirms, that you can find Old Style at a few select concourse booths. I didn't see it yesterday, but wasn't really looking for it. Vendors were only selling Bud and 312 - a local Goose Island brand.

That's a bummer. Not really a fan of either of those beers. I guess I'll have to track down old style on the concourse then when I'm there in August

And some Cubs fans will say XXXX off.

They haven't won it all, but the Cubs have fielded some very good teams and have been to the playoffs more than a lot of other teams in my lifetime.

Would Bartman be one of them, or is he still in hibernation?

That's not saying much.Cubs have made the playoffs maybe 5 times the last 3 decades, often losing to teams they should have rolled.

Thanks for coming into a nice, celebratory thread and being a ******.

Congrats... You win the internetz for today.

[MENTION=1720]cgilmo[/MENTION] - why did this keep happening on the app?

Clearly I was quoting the douchery above me, but it quoted you from a totally different thread.
