Homerun Inn Pizza

Home Run Inn is a pizzeria chain based in the Chicago, Illinois, metropolitan area of the United States. It has seven locations, including two in Chicago, Addison, IL, Bolingbrook, IL, Westmont, IL, Bellwood, IL, Melrose Park, IL and Darien, IL. Home Run Inn sells frozen pizzas in twenty states.

History

In 1923, Mary and Vincent Grittani owned a small bar on 31st Street in Chicago. When a home run from a nearby baseball game was hit through the tavern's window, the couple decided to rename the tavern Home Run Inn. In the 1940s, the famous pizza recipe was developed and perfected. From there, the company expanded into frozen pizza, constructing a USDA compliant factory adjacent to the original restaurant in Chicago.

Today, Home Run Inn operates seven restaurant locations, the original manufacturing facility in Chicago and a large USDA manufacturing location that opened in 1996 in Woodridge, Illinois to keep up with demand for its pizza.

On May 5, 2009 Home Run Inn launched its Official Facebook Page.

Pizza

Home Run Inn is known for its traditional style pizza, not the deep dish Chicago-style pizza. Home Run Inn's pizza is hand-tossed, with a buttery crust of medium thickness and unique flavor. The pizzas are known for their slightly spicy sauce, abundant cheese and fresh sausage, made daily by the company. According to ACNielsen data, the frozen pizza is the number one selling frozen pizza brand in Chicago. Home Run Inn pizzas contain no trans fats and are made with natural ingredients. Home Run Inn pizza was also voted number one by AOL in its “Best Of” contest.

In recent years the company has expanded its distribution of their frozen pizzas to stores beyond the Chicago area.

The family atmosphere of the restaurants makes the locations a popular destination for birthdays, engagement parties, rehearsal dinners, funerals, and graduation celebrations.
