STATEMENT ON SCHEDULE 13D   

AS TO ALL REPORTING PERSONS:                                                    

ITEM 1 SECURITY AND ISSUER                                                      

This Statement on Schedule 13D (this "Statement") relates to the Common         
Stock, no par value (the "Common Stock"), of Chicago Pizza & Brewery, Inc., a   
California corporation (the  "Company"), whose principal executive office is    
located at 26131 Marguerite Parkway, Suite A, Mission Viejo, CA  92692.         

The response to this Item 1 is applicable to and incorporated by reference      
into the response of each reporting person set forth below.                     

ITEM 2 IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND                                                  

This Statement is filed on behalf of Alex Meruelo, an individual and United     
States citizen ("Meruelo"), La Pizza Loca, Inc., a California corporation       
("La Pizza Loca"), Aaron Landon, an individual and United States citizen,       
Stephen R. Miraglia, an individual and United States citizen and Blake          
Miraglia, an individual and United States citizen.  These individuals and       
La Pizza Loca are collectively referred to in this Statement as the "Group".    

The response to this Item 2 is applicable to and incorporated by reference      
into the response of each reporting person set forth below.                     

ITEM 4 PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION                                               

The members of the Group have decided to work together to enhance shareholder   
value.  To that end, the Group seeks to elect at least one member to the        
Company's Board of Directors who is independent of management and has           
significant restaurant industry experience.  The members of the Group also      
have a strong preference for nominees to the Board that hold a significant      
ownership interest in the Company.  In this regard, the Group supports          
Meruelo's prior nomination of Meruelo and Raymond Perry to the Company's        
Board of Directors.  Although each member of the Group retains the right to     
vote the shares held by such member individually and in that member's own       
interest, each of the members of the Group currently intends to vote their      
respective shares in favor of one or both of Messrs. Meruelo and Perry. Each    
member of the Group reserves the right to acquire additional securities or      
dispose of such securities as such member believes is in his or its interest.   

The response to this Item 4 is applicable to and incorporated by reference      
into the response of each reporting person set forth below.                     

ITEM 5 INTEREST IN THE SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER                                 

Pursuant to the joint filing agreement attached to this Statement as Exhibit    
1, the Group may be deemed to have shared voting power over the 1,131,200       
shares of Common Stock of the Company, constituting approximately 14.77% of     
the Common Stock.  By reason of the  provisions of Rule 13d-3 under the         
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Group may be deemed to own     
beneficially the 1,131,200 shares of Common Stock owned by the members          
individually, which, in the aggregate constitute approximately 14.77% of the    
Common Stock.  The formation of the Group has not altered the rights that       
each member of the Group has to vote or dispose of shares of Common Stock       
beneficially owned by such member.  Each of the members of the Group retains    
the power to vote and dispose of shares of Common Stock owned by such member    
prior to the formation of the Group and disclaims beneficial ownership of any   
portion of the shares of Common Stock held by any other member of the Group.

One other shareholder, holding a total of 45,000 shares of Common Stock of      
the Company, has indicated his support for the efforts of the Group but         
has not executed the joint filing statement attached to this Statement as       
Exhibit 1 and formally agreed to be a member of the Group.  Except as           
contemplated by this Statement, none of the members of the Group has entered    
into any contract, arrangement, understanding or relationship (legal or         
otherwise) with any person with respect to any securities of the Company.       

The response to this Item 6 is applicable to and incorporated by reference      
into the response of each reporting person set forth below.
