The Craft Beer Authority Brings Its Massive Craft Beer Assortment and Crave-able Pizza – Along With a Good Cause – to Indianapolis Residents
Old Chicago Pizza & Taproom, known for its hand-crafted pizza, taproom fare, and its world class beer list of local and regional craft beer offerings, will open its newest location near the Indianapolis Airport at 5860 Fortune Circle West, Indianapolis, IN 46241, on December 2nd. This store opening will be the 4th Old Chicago in Indiana, and the 110th location nationwide.
Guests can order five hand-crafted dough options, including Chicago Thick, a Tavern Thin, Bottoms- Up Deep Dish, a Gluten-Free crust, and an Ale-Infused dough that highlight the eleven specialty pizzas on the menu.

True to its roots is Old Chicago’s strong commitment to giving back to the community.

Representatives from the Indiana University School of Medicine will be on-site to help raise charitable contributions.

To celebrate the upcoming opening, Old Chicago Indy Airport will be offering free pizza for a year to the first 100 guests on opening day (doors open at 5pm on Monday, December 2, 2019).
