The Craft Beer Authority Brings Its World Class Craft Beer and Delicious Flavor — Along With a Good Cause – to Independence Residents This October
Old Chicago Pizza & Taproom, a traditional casual dining restaurant known for its delicious, hand crafted pizza and world class craft beer list, will open its new location in Independence at 4661 S. Cochise Ct., Independence, MO 64055 on Monday October 31st. This store opening will be the 4th Old Chicago in Missouri, and the 108th location nationwide.
To celebrate the upcoming opening, they will be offering free pizza for a year to the first 100 guests on opening day. Old Chicago Pizza & Taproom partnered with the Great Plains SPCA and will donate proceeds from its pre-opening dinners and $1 from each Chicago 7 pizza sold in the first two weeks to the local nonprofit.
The hand-crafted dough options include Chicago Thick, a Tavern Thin and an Ale-Infused dough that highlight the eleven specialty pizzas on the menu. Famous taproom starters such as the Sicilian Pepperoni Rolls, and the one-of-a-kind Italian Nachos will also be sure to delight Independence visitors.
With over 40 draft beers available, more than 90 craft beers available on the menu and a beer expert always on staff, The Craft Beer Authority has something for everyone! All menu items will be available Monday-Saturday until 1:00a.m., Sunday until 12am, and the restaurant will be open until 1:30am Monday-Saturday and 12am on Sunday.
“We are excited to bring our new location to Independence. Being the Craft Beer Authority is allowing us to bring in some of the most unique beers available from some of the best national and local breweries. Since 1976 we’ve been serving handcrafted pizzas, made from scratch, every day. That is expertise you can taste!” states General Manager Bruce Harris of the restaurant opening.
More importantly, one restaurant staple that will not be on the menu is their strong commitment to giving back to its community. Not only will Old Chicago be joining the restaurant scene in Independence, but it will also be joining the city’s commitment to offer its residents a better and brighter future by partnering with the Great Plains SPCA. Representatives from the Great Plains SPCA will be on-site during all three of Old Chicago’s pre-opening dinners to spread the word and help raise charitable contributions. In addition, Old Chicago will donate $1 from every Chicago 7 sold from 10/31-11/14 will be added to the Great Plains SPCA donation.
