Here in the Chicago North Suburbs, it\u2019s unusual to have a well-established business put in a game room. It is even more unusual for an established business to put in a game room with pinball, but Hitz Pizza and Sports Bar in Mundelein has done just that.<\/p>\n

Hitz is known in our area for their thin crust pizza but they also have pan pizza, Chicago-style deep dish, and also their ‘double-decker’ pizza. The most common comment about Hitz\u2019s pizza is the generous amount of toppings and slightly sweet taste to the crust.<\/p>\n

Pizza, drinks and good times<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In addition to pizza they have a full menu of sandwiches and Italian-style dinners. I heard a rumor that there are healthy things such as salad on the menu but cannot confirm this.<\/p>\n

Terri and I have gone several times with friends to Hitz for their Monday night bar bingo and half-price pizza. Terri\u2019s actually won a bingo round- a hat that she calls her \u201cBlingo\u201d hat. On any\u00a0given Monday night there are 9 rounds of bingo led by an amusing caller that makes the bingo games come alive in a way that we find very entertaining.<\/p>\n

The most recent Monday when we were leaving from Monday night Bar Bingo- we spotted Hitz\u2019s brand new game room. All of the machines were sitting there gleaming, just waiting to swallow some of our hard-earned money.<\/p>\n

In the game room there are a couple of video games, a claw machine, an old-school Super Chexx<\/em> dome stick hockey game and two pinballs: Stern\u2019s CSI<\/em> and Terminator 3 – Rise of the\u00a0<\/em>Machines<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The pinballs are in good-to-average condition – I would say that they could use a bit of a cleaning and a couple of light bulbs replaced, but all of the features work. They are both set on $1 per game pricing, with reasonable and attainable free game thresholds. It would appear that they are owned by an amusement company and not by Hitz.<\/p>\n

Hitz has always been a fun and entertaining place – made more so with their new game room. If\u00a0you are in the area, I\u2019d suggest that you stop in and give them a visit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
