The Craft Beer Authority Brings Its World Class Craft Beer and Delicious Flavor — Along With a Good Cause — to Waco Residents This September
Old Chicago Pizza & Taproom, a traditional casual dining restaurant known for its delicious, handmade pizza and world class craft beer list, will open its new location in Waco at 4641 S. Jack Kultgen Expressway, Waco, TX 76701 (off IH-35 in front of Cabela’s) on Tuesday September 13th . This store opening will be the 7th Old Chicago in Texas, the 4th store to open in Texas this year, and the 105th 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 Humane Society of Central Texas 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 handmade dough options include Chicago Thick and an Ale-Infused dough that highlight the thirteen 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 Waco 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 Sunday-Monday until 1:00a.m., and the restaurant will be open until 2:00a.m. daily.
“We are excited to bring our new location to Waco. 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 Clayton Chamberland 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 Waco but it will also be joining the city’s commitment to offer its residents a better and brighter future by partnering with the Humane Society of Central Texas. Representatives from the Humane Society will be on-site during all three of Old Chicago’s pre-opening dinners to spread the word and help raise charitable contributions.
