Home Run Inn- a family owned and operated business- has established itself as one of Chicago’s favorite thin crust pizzas over the past 70 years. Known best for their flakey, buttery crust, Home Run Inn started in 1947 as a corner tavern serving up squares instead of slices. Over the decades they have expanded both their brand offerings and their loyal customer base by preparing frozen pizzas with the same premium, all natural quality as the ones you can enjoy in their 9 Chicago-based restaurants. Their frozen pizza business had its beginning in neighborhood grocery stores around their original location but has grown in popularity across the country. Now available in 35 states, they are looking to attract millennials to their iconic Chicago pizza brand.
