About Home Run Inn, Inc.
Our Story
In 1923, Mary and Vincent Grittani owned a small tavern on 31st Street in Chicago along with their daughter Loretta and son-in-law Nick Perrino. When a home run from a nearby baseball game was hit through the tavern’s window, they decided to rename the tavern Home Run Inn. In the 1940s Mary Grittani developed the pizza recipe that is still being used today. Over the past 92 years, Home Run Inn has grown from a small tavern to several pizzerias and frozen distribution…in over 35 states!
