There are two famous Chicago pizza places nearby: Giordano's and Gino's East. Both are just down the road on Higgins, about 1 - 1.5 miles. Might not qualify as "easy walking distance" in the middle of October, but doable, and the hotel shuttle might be able to take you there.
EDIT: HC and SJ mentioned above are always safe choices, though aside from memorabilia, HC is a good, but generic Italian steakhouse, while SJ is a good, but generic sports bar. And yes, I do like both places.
