Chicago Restaurant That Invented Pizza Pot Pie Embroiled in Legal Battle – Wall Street Journal

In a town famous for its deep-dish pizza, Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder Co. has made its own way since the early 1970s, serving an upside-down concoction created by its founder called the pizza pot pie. And the original menu and cozy décor are largely intact—even though the owner died 7½ years ago, and his children, who worked there from a young age, are locked in a messy legal battle with a longtime employee and an ex-wife of their father’s over control of the business and the building where it is located.

The lesson of the article is to have a Will but………I’m thinking that anyone who has four ex wives likely doesn’t plan very far into the future. Good pizza though. Ant their Mediterranean Bread appetizer is fantastic.
