CHICAGO – November 04, 2026 -- Home Run Inn's first-ever frozen Pan Pizza is now in all Chicagoland Jewel stores and Tonys Fresh Market locations, and every Friday in November the chain's restaurants will hand one out free with a large order.
The Pan Pizza comes in five 9-inch varieties
The new pizza uses Home Run Inn's tavern-style crust, only thicker. It is topped with freshly sliced mozzarella and the signature tomato sauce, which is blended with a secret family recipe. Flavors are Cheese, Sausage, Sausage Pepperoni, Meat Lovers and Pepperoni.
CEO Dan Costello, a fourth-generation family member, said the pizza is made from scratch with all-natural ingredients, just like the original tavern-style pie. He described it as another way to enjoy the Home Run Inn flavor, now with a thicker crust.
"Free Pizza Fridays" runs all November
Every Friday in November, anyone who buys an extra-large (XL) cheese or sausage pizza at a Home Run Inn restaurant gets a free frozen Home Run Inn pan pizza. The offer covers both dine-in and carryout orders and is limited to one free pizza per order.
The brand traces back to a 1923 South Side tavern
Home Run Inn began as a tavern on Chicago's South Side in 1923. It has served its crispy crust since the early 1940s and took the Home Run Inn name in 1947. The family-owned company now runs six pizzerias in the Chicagoland area.
