Home Run Inn   

This South Side pizza establishment is the original location for a company that now has six Chicagoland outlets and a thriving frozen pizza business. Since 1942, the company has stayed true to its original family recipe for a medium crust pizza that is now a Chicago staple. This location started as a small shop but now is a booming two-floor restaurant usually bustling with business. The "power-hitting pizzas" include the garlic fireball, cheeseburger, barbecue, chicken fajita, tabasco chicken or grilled veggie pizzas. If you want garlic but not the full-on fireball effect, you can have one of the other options (or build your own) on a garlic butter crust for $1 extra. The pasta dishes are served with fresh bread, soup or salad. On weekdays there's a lunch buffet of pizza, cold pasta and vegetable salads. Don't think you have to end your meal after the last slice of 'za has been wolfed down; there's also a dessert pizza for those who want to indulge.
