Home Run Inn

I love home run inn pizza but today I visited for lunch and skipped the lunch buffet. I ordered a chicken capri sandwich and my wife ordered the kale salad. Orders were taken but dressing was never asked for and it was never asked if i wanted a soup or salad with my sandwich. Still waiting for my order and we’ll se what we get for dressings or sides… Turns out we ordered pizza? Evidently home run inn b sqaud is on the field. We left after my wife had to go back to work. Without getting a meal…

I have only done take out for pizza on several times and they are just the best pizza around town! Also cheesy lasagna with fresh sauce! This place does not disappoint.

Could not even taste the garlic butter on crust that was extra. Ordered Nick’s Super, loaded with sausage and onion, but hardly any peppers and skimpy cheese. Good service and cold beer though.

First time here for lunch. Staff was friendly and service was fast. Appetizers, chicken capri sandwich, & Chicago’s Best were very fulfilling! Definitely better than the frozen pizza. I do recommend this place & will come back for more!

LOVE this place. We had a XL pizza w sausage and extra sauce. The sauce here is amazing and they put a generous amount of sausage. When I order rosatis and pay for extra sausage they don’t put as much sausage as HRI puts on their regular sausage pizza. Nothing is worse than skimpy toppings buy home run in delivers! Delicious pizza! Best crust best sauce best toppings.

Brought the family in on Saturday night, waited aprox 15 mins for a table. We ordered the large Nick Super with the garlic butter crust… yummy! The service was outstanding, our waiter checked in with us several times and brought everything we needed. The wait for a pizza was a little long but it was prime time on a Saturday night, and I recommend the cheesy garlic bread while waiting… delicious. Great pizza. I will be back!

Gluten-​free is good! Thin crust, with any topping you want, not like other places that have pre-​made, frozen, finished pizzas they just run through the oven. We’ll definitely be back… although, maybe not on a Friday night. The kid to parent ratio was decidedly not in our favor.

Didn’t even make it in the door. DONT GO HERE STAY AWAY. We arrive a party of 3 at 5pm. Parking lot is near empty. We ask for a table but we’re told we could only sit outside. They don’t have tables for parties of 3. Funny 3 weeks ago they did. I can prove it. I look through the dining room and see several tables. I ask her to clarify. She said no tables for parties of 3. I said we will be leaving. Guess HRI has no need for customers to dine in and order appz drinks and dinner. STAY AWAY AND GO TO GIRODONIS INSTEAD. HRI is over priced anyways.

Great service. Our server was super helpful and accommodating. When they didn’t have the sauce we wanted for our wings she brought out 4 cups of different sauces when the appetizer came out.
I got the chicken capri sandwich and it was yummy. The fries weren’t anything to write home about.
The pizza. Growing up we always went to the one on 31^st and I remember the pizza being AMAZING. After the pizza from the other day… did they change something? It was so bland. It had no flavor. The crust was meh. So disappointing.

The lunch buffet is longer than others in the area, and has pizza, salad, soup, rolls, pasta and some other dishes as well! They said no beverage included though.

I’ve been eating frozen home run Inn pizzas for years, but this was my first visit to one of their restaurants. We opted for the lunch buffet, and so did many others. It was packed! We had to wait about 10 minutes for a table.
On to the buffet. They had an excellent harvest salad with fruit, cheese crumbles, and a vinaigrette. The pizza was just as good as the frozen version, but of course many more varieties were available. Only two meatless varieties were available, cheese (of course) and spinach/​roma tomatoes on a garlic crust (amazing). They also had soups and pastas available, but I didn’t sample any. They topped all of this with a dessert table containing a pull apart blueberry lemon treat. Sooooo good!
Of course we’ll probably return on a future visit. It’s not your typical «Chicago style pizza» as it’s a thin, buttery, almost cracker-​like crust. Their sauce is a bit sweet and they use a lot of yummy cheese. Soooo good! I’m looking forward to my next frozen one that’s waiting for me in the freezer.

The lunch special and weekend buffet are really good. I’ve seen cheaper pizza buffet prices around the area, but overall I feel this is worth it. Pizza was fresh, had a good selection of toppings and tasted good. The weekend buffet had a lot of pasta and salad options as well as garlic bread.

Horrible service, my wife’s burger came out raw and we had to wait another 45 minutes to remake and then anther ten minutes for ketchup. I’m sorry doesn’t cut it!!!

First off the 1947 with butter crust is sooooooo good. I love home run inns pizza especially this one. I order it well done cause it gives the pizza more flavor and the crust is perfect. The service here when I’ve dined in is ok. Their not very fast with refilling drinks or checking up on you that often. If you can deal with ok service and great pizza this is the place for you. I think you can never go wrong with home run inn. Also they have the best frozen pizza if your in the mood for that.

Yum! If you want some good Chicago hometown (besides deep dish) pizza come to HomeRun inn! Love the thin crust and (square style) cutting on a (round) pizza!
Service is usually pretty decent but tonight our waiter was amazing! He was always right there when we needed him and most definitely went above and beyond!
I ordered the chicken Alfredo tonight because I was craving pasta, I DO NOT recommend the pasta, but that’s ok… who comes to HomeRun inn for pasta anyways? And finally, my side Caesar salad was AMAZING! HomeRun inn is a must go if you’re visiting the Chicago area… and if you live here obviously!

Not a fan of home runn inn pizza myself but this place had the most disgusting pizza crust I ever tasted, tasted old and stale almost lost a tooth plus don’t get me started on the price… never again

The food is decent, but service is slow. It took about 40 minutes to receive my lasagna. I still haven’t received my dessert that I ordered a few minutes after my lasagna, assuming the dessert would get here before my actual meal. I had to get up and get my own box because we haven’t seen our waitress in more than 15 minutes. I had to get up a second time and let one of the waitresses know I was ready for my check because, surprise, still no waitress.
I just received my dessert. I specifically said no chocolate sauce and chocolate chips and they put it on there anyway.
I’ll probably be back one day in the far, far future, but I’m definitely not impressed.
Well, it’s been 20 minutes since I told the waitress that I was ready for my check and, surprise, I’m still sitting here. Waiting… waiting… and waiting.
But enough about me; part of my party is still standing while waiting for a seat. They’ve been standing for an hour. An hour.

My review below still stands but having been back a few times, the service just isn’t good. We waited about 10 minutes the other night when there were at least a half dozen tables available. Then it took about 15 minutes for the server to even come over the first time.
Another time our waitress was in such a hurry she just walked by our table talking. If what we needed wasn’t visible on the table, we didn’t get it because she couldn’t stop to talk to us. I think our dine in tradition may turn into a takeout.

Me and my girls had a great time! We ordered and ate half the menu, we’re all full to our eyeballs!!! Awesome pizza, wings were a little TOO huge but had a good taste, the donuts rocked and the vanilla cream sauce was amazing…

They have very unique pizza that I enjoy. I’m not going to call it a favorite, but it is definitely one of a kind.
The prices aren’t that great though, but not outrageous either. While dining in I haven’t been too impressed with the service. Be ready to call out for a refill if you want one. Other than that the experience is nice. It is a place worth going to when you have a craving for this special pizza.
