Chicago Restaurant Group

We Don't Dabble.
We Double Down.

Double Down Hospitality is a Chicago-based restaurant group operating eight food brands — from iconic jumbo-slice pizza and wood-fired tacos to chef-prepared meal delivery, neighborhood dining, and full-service event catering across Chicagoland.

Chicago Restaurant Group

The Mindset Behind Everything We Build

Double Down isn’t just a name — it’s how we operate. In an industry full of shortcuts, we bet on doing things the hard way: fresh ingredients, real hospitality, and showing up every single day with energy and purpose.

We started with a single concept and grew into a multi-brand group spanning pizza, tacos, catering, meal prep, and neighborhood dining. Every brand is distinct. Every one is built on the same uncompromising standard.

That’s the Double Down edge.

What We Offer

Great Food, Every Way You Need It

Whether you're grabbing a quick bite, planning a major event, or stocking your week with ready-made meals — we have a brand built exactly for that.

Double Down Hospitality was built to serve people the way they actually live — not just in one setting, at one time of day, for one occasion. That's why we operate across four distinct service categories, each powered by its own dedicated brand, its own team, and its own standard of quality. Different concepts, same commitment.

Rooted in Chicago

Born Here. Built Here. Still Here.

Chicago didn't just inspire Double Down Hospitality — it shaped us. The neighborhoods, the people, the food culture, the unspoken standard that Chicagoans hold every restaurant to — it's all baked into how we operate and what we put on the plate.

We're not a concept imported from somewhere else and dropped into the city. We grew here, neighborhood by neighborhood, brand by brand. From the North Side to the suburbs, from corporate lunch catering to late-night tacos — we serve the communities that made us, and we take that responsibility seriously.

Chicago is the standard. We intend to keep meeting it.

Join the Team

We're Always Looking for People Who Give a Damn

Great food is only half the equation. The other half is the people behind it — the ones who show up with energy, take pride in their work, and understand that hospitality isn’t just a job description, it’s a mindset.

If that sounds like you, Double Down Hospitality is always looking for driven, passionate people to grow with us across our brands. From kitchen staff and front-of-house to operations and management — if you’re all in, so are we.
