Home Run Inn Pizza Expands at O'Hare Airport Just Before Thanksgiving Weekend
Home Run Inn Pizza, a beloved brand in Chicago known for its Tavern-Style thin crust pizza, is excited to introduce three new locations at O'Hare International Airport just in time for the busy Thanksgiving travel period. This expansion allows travelers flying through O'Hare to enjoy the iconic taste of Home Run Inn, which has been a local favorite since the 1940s.
The new Home Run Inn locations can be found in Terminal 2's Concourse E, as well as two spots in Terminal 1: Concourse B (which features a co-branded menu with Eli's Cheesecake) and Concourse C. Airline passengers will have the chance to indulge in classic 8-inch pizzas including Cheese ($11.39), Sausage ($11.99), and Pepperoni ($11.99).
Gina (Perrino) Bolger, a fourth-generation family member and Senior Vice President of Marketing, expressed her excitement: "Sharing our tavern-style pizza with a broader audience is an incredible opportunity. Whether you're traveling through O'Hare or simply passing by, we aim to deliver an authentic taste of Chicago." Bolger emphasized that this partnership with O'Hare will highlight the qualities that make Home Run Inn a cherished tradition for both locals and visitors alike.
The collaboration with HMSHost, the operator and restaurateur at O'Hare, means that travelers will have flexibility: they can grab a quick bite or sit down to relax with a delicious meal. In the co-branded location in Terminal 1's Concourse B, guests can enjoy the delightful combination of savory pizza alongside Eli's Cheesecake, a staple Chicago dessert.
"With our roots in the small tavern culture of the 1920s, we’ve stayed committed to our craft over the decades," Bolger added. The company, officially recognized as the founder of National Tavern-Style Pizza Day, has nine pizzerias across the Chicagoland area and offers frozen pizzas available nationwide. Home Run Inn Pizza also holds the title of Official Pizza of the Chicago Cubs, with its products sold at Wrigley Field and Midway International Airport.
