Home Run Inn - Chicago

We had a great time at this pizza place. This is the original Home Run Inn, and it has been recently renovated and looks fantastic. It was Sunday, so we came...

I like the pizza as much as the frozen, but the service here could use a lot of work. After 12 we dived a little into a restaurant with just a few stands...

I came to the restaurant at 1:00 and there were no servers until 3:00 The XL Nicks super pizza was cooked. The pizza was made new and that was partly...

Very good pizza. Place is too cold. Food got cold quicker do to the temp in the restaurant. Server was nice but good s night that wasn't busy inside she only came around once. I almost choked on my pizza because she was nowhere around for a refill. I had to ask another server/ busboy for a refill while she was standing at the other server post our table nowhere in her sight or radar. She did circle out take more after she bright the tab over. More like hovering. We will be back for more yummy pizza with hopes of better attention from the server.

I was visiting Chicago and, like most tourists, I wanted to eat some deep dish pizza. I've only ever been to Giordano's which seems like a typical go to for deep dish but I had many Uber drivers recommend me go to Lou Home Run Inn instead. I'm so glad I did! I find that the deep dish here is better the crust is really buttery and the edges are crisped to perfection. My table also ordered a bruschetta appetizer, a few pasta dishes, and dessert. I found everything to be really delicious and the portion sizes to be very generous. The deep dish pizzas take about 30 45min to create, so definitely come to Home Run Inn if you have enough time for a longer lunch/dinner. Also, this place gets PACKED during peak hours. I recommend coming a bit earlier, even if you're not hungry, since you will have to wait for the pizza to cook anyway, and you can try to beat the lunch/dinner rush.
