My husband had heard from several coworkers that the have the best pizza. I we were not impressed. It was just ok. I make better pizza at home for fa less money. The pizza was dry; it barely had any sauce on it. And I think the spinach on my pizza was frozen spinach. All in all, we might consider going back, but it would not be our first choice. The service, however, was good.

YUM! Came here on a busy Friday night for pizza with the in-laws and loved it! FOOD: +Extra large veggie pizza with mushrooms, bell peppers and onions. Could have ordered the large (for 5 of us) and still had leftovers. The crust was PERFECTLY crunchy and soft. +Garlic Cheese Bread- perfect bread +No coke zero here unfortunately SERVICE: We were seated immediately at 8:30 on a Friday night without reservations and our waiter was a sweet guy. AMBIENCE: Family friendly, large, bustling pizza joint. I would come back here again! -Hungry Hungry Pongy

Hearing rave reviews and hype about this place, I finally went as a party of three. Ordered the 3 choice sampler which was a joke at an overpriced $15 (check out the picture I posted). Salad wasn't great and overpriced. OK so give Home Run the benefit of the doubt since they are a pizza place. Most importantly, their pizzas are not worth $25+. They don't taste any better justifying that overly inflated price. Conclusion, pizza is overrated and overpriced. High prices are not justified. I am not saying their pizzas taste horribly bad. Just saying they are on par or marginally better than Pizza Hut and similar. I never thought I'd pay over $70 (w/ tip) at a pizza joint. Never going back.

one of the best in chicagoland. been around for years. i've been eating this pizza for over 25 years. Frozen pizzas are great as well. lunch buffet at this location is well worth it.

This place is pretty good. The pizza is the same as all the Home Run Inns. Thin crust, they are generous with the cheese and toppings. The sauce is really good and has great flavor. It is a little costly but really filling as well. The large pizza's are huge. We didn't try anything else but people around us did and it looked pretty good. the service here was great, we were seated right away and our waitress was attentive and friendly. The cocktails are a little pricy, but they had some on special, hard lemonade, they said has two shots, pretty weak though. Family friendly place, but also have TV's for watching some sports. Everything looked clean and well taken care of. Will be back.

A chicago legand, I have been going to home runn inn as long as I can remember. I still remember taking a drive down to the south side of chiacgo when I was a kid just to get some of there great deep dish pizza. Now there are many locations in the burbs to fill my need for great deep dish pizza. The friday lunch buffet here is great. $10 for all you can eat pizza how can I pass it up. When we where seated and walked by the buffet I was getting worried because all the pizza was gone. The chairs in the resturant were at maximium load as the heffers were waiting for the troff to be filled once more. I didn't want to die by stampiede. However I was shocked at the rate pizzas contiuned to come out. The buffet wasn't ever empty too long and I was able to get my favorite slice. Crisis was everted thanks to the great staff at Home runn innn. All and all still great pizza.

Received an email for the Sunday Special for September 29, so my wife and I went in tonight, ordered a couple of beers and a pizza. After 40 minutes, the server stopped and said, "Sorry for the delay ...the pizza should be out in ten minutes." Fifteen minutes later, the server stopped and said, " Sorry for the delay.....the pizza should be out any time now." Ten minutes later, I left money for the beers and we left. INEXCUSABLE!!!!!

Our first visit to this restaurant was a great experience. Being as it was a Wednesday night it was not overly busy which meant we were greeted and seated right away. Our server came to the table and took our drink order within just a minute or two of us being seated. She was bubbly, friendly, and attentive throughout our whole meal. As another reviewer stated a bus boy even came by to clear our appetizer plates and was equally as friendly. Probably some of the best waitstaff I've seen in a long time. I could not find a problem with the service if I tried. The food was great. Try the Guiness Nachos as an appetizer!!!They are amazing:) I almost gave a 4 star rating because they are a little too pricey, however the combination of great service and HUGE portions still make it worth the visit & extra $.

As it relates to pizzas, Home Run Inn is another star in my book. This is another place I've really enjoyed eating at over the years (this is a newer location but just as good as it's Darien counterpart). They do a very good job on a consistent basis. I've never experienced a bad pizza from Home Run Inn. The staff are always very polite. As for the pizza, while the pan is very good, I prefer their thin crust. The sauce and cheese works better for my tastes with the thin crust. I love the spices in the sauce that gives it a very nice flavor. I like the Nick's Super (sausage, mushrooms, green peppers, & onions) when I want to step out. Generally, I'll stick to sausage & mushrooms (I may add some garlic when I get it home). Appetizers are very good but unless you're in a big group (or have a big appetite, or know you want to bring something home), you may want to pass on them. If you do, any of them will be very good- Mozzarella sticks, BBQ Wings, potato skins, or toasted ravioli. Now if time permits you, try the buffet (Bolingbrook is only on Friday, Darien is Monday- Friday). They rotate the pasta dishes so this will give you a nice opportunity to try some of their pastas. My experiences is that the buffet has been fresh and kept fresh during the lunch (especially during peak times). I'm partial to the lasagna. The Italian meatball grinder is another solid pick. Another spot where I haven't experienced a bad meal. Take a friend or make a visit. You cant also get their pizza frozen at your local store. Good but not as good as fresh made.

I do not need to go to the pizza, the pizza has come to me. I am really psyched that they built my absolute most favorite pizzeria so close to home. I go through withdrawal like symptoms when I can't get my Home Run Inn cheese and sausage pizza with a garlic butter crust on a somewhat regular basis. And the junkie that I am, I've been here at least six times since it's opening a little under a year ago. Not only does the menu have the basics of any Home Run Inn, including the to die for fried ravioli. It also has something that is a rare find in Bolingbrook. Good, friendly and competent service. From the bartender, waiter, cashier and busboy, I was astounded by the level of service received! This place makes me renew my faith in being a total pizza whore.

Bolingbrook doesn't have many sit down pizzeria's and I wasn't up for a drive to and from Naperville so we dined in at home run inn tonight. The bar was offering a special on a mint melt away martini and it was friggin amazing! And only $6! Needless to say I had two! The service could have been better but I'll chalk it up to the hostess stand being staffed by teens who just got their work permits and our waitress was nice but just seemed overwhelmed. She would disappear for a pretty long time because she was working two sections. Surprisingly of all the food we ordered (rigatoni, hardest salad, wings, and pizza , the pasta was by far the best selection. Hri's pizza is quite frankly about the same as the frozen one and was therefor underwhelming. I'd say save this place for a night when you're so tired that you neither want to drive far or cook. Prices were just low enough to make up for all the hings this place lacks.

Can you do less than one star? Called and ordered food tonight. 15 minute wait. Hostess seats me at the bar because we thought we'd grab a beer while we waited for our food. The crabby senior citizen employee comes up and says we are closed for the weather. First off, I was seated there. Second off, 2 diners were still eating. Third off, you have customers still waiting in take out for food. So bottom line, she was crabby that she was stuck working on SuperBowl Blizzard Sunday & could care less about making her boss any money or offering good customer service.

I've always liked their pizza but, they need to lower their prices. 16'' (which is their largest size should of been a warning sign) one topping with two sodas came to about $30. Yeah, I know they're a famous pizzeria but, come on, a lot of people would have a problem paying that high price. (especially now) Also, the big thing was that it tasted very similar to their frozen pizza. The pizza just seemed like it wasn't made the moment we ordered it. Our service was very accommodating, perhaps, a little too accommodating since the place wasn't that busy & the servers were bs-ing in the front of the place. I wouldn't come back to ANY Home Run Inn again. I'll just save some money & stick to their frozen pizzas thank you very much.

My favorite thin pizza in Chicago, nothing to screw up here. Been coming to various locations for years now and always stays the same. Was nice that a location opened up closer to us, so no more driving! Pizza always comes fast, hot and delicious!

When I was a kid we used to eat Home Run Inn Pizza at their original location in Cicero, IL it was EXCELLENT. Went to this location for their 'Lunch Buffet' with co-workers 2 Friday's in a row - what a mistake! The first week I thought maybe it was an off day, nope, BOTH times it was just about the most tasteless pizza I have ever had in my life! The dough was tasteless and the sauce was tasteless, if not bitter. But there were lots of fat people hovering over the pizza like it was their last meal!! As always, buffets are loaded with those who should not be eating that much food! Seriosuly, DOMINO'S or LITTLE CESAR'S is almost better than this pizza and that is a SAD comparison!-plus it was Greesy as hell! I cannot believe how people will eat just about anything because it's CHEAP. I will NEVER eat at this place or any Home Run Inn again for that matter - and by the way, it's funny how I saw a huge write up in the Chicago Sun Times this past Sunday talking about how successful they are with their frozen pizza line - well, like most restaurant's who prefer the cash over quality, Home Run Inn is at the bottom in my book.

We went here for one thing pizza, and we were not disappointed. I was very concerned because I had been hyping up the place to the family for about 3 months and was hoping it would meet expectations. I was satisfied but dont know how many times we will revisit because it is a bit of a drive for pizza, with so many excellent pizza places near by.

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.

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!

Timothy M.
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.

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.

I had to knock a start off because the pizza did not live up to its mass produced grocery store sister!!! I know, how can I possibly be saying that??!?! BUT, the freezer section version has a hand tossed yummie and thick crust with awesome cheese, and the restaurant version had thin crust (no other option) with forgettable cheese..... Bummer... The good news is the pasta dish I had was sooooo good!! Rigatoni and I added the meatball...although don't say I didn't warn you, the meatball is great, but def not "stuffed with mozzarella" at least none that I could find. And if you get the salad, ask for caesar dressing on the side, pretty non existent.

I love deep dish. This was first time I've had the restaurant pizza. It was a let down. Service was ok. But, we were there over 2 hours. It took FOREVER to order and then FOREVER to get it. My kids couldn't hold it together that long. The salads were nothing special.

Home Run Inn frozen pizza is by far my favorite frozen pizza. I love it, but my husband absolutely hates it. However, we both work near Bolingbrook and decided to meet after work on a Friday for dinner. He somehow agreed to the Home Run Inn restaurant. The location itself is quite nice and offers a lot of seating. We were seated right away and ordered our drinks and an appetizer. We then ordered our pizza and added the buttered crust. As many have said, the service is a bit slow. When we got our pizza, I was a little disappointed. The pizza wasn't bad....but I personally like the frozen pizza better. The butter crust that we paid extra for didn't taste buttery or any different than normal crust. My husband, however, thought the pizza was pretty good. We will likely be back in the future, but I personally would rather have the frozen pizza. It's cheaper, has thicker crust, and more flavorful.

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 31st 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.

Amanda S.
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.

Pat F.
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.

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.

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.

Went here on a Saturday night to take home two pizzas for an easy dinner. What a mistake. It was a super crowded, unpleasant experience, complete with awful pizza. First of all, the staff here sucks. The girls behind the counter were rude and dismissive and had no interest in dealing with takeout orders, only in flitting around trying to be cute to the waiting customers. We saw them put our pizza out on the massive rack behind the counter, and when we told the girls it was there they claimed it wasn't ready yet. 10 minutes later, they deigned to give us our pizza. How kind. Needless to say, by the time we got it home, the pizza was cool. Goody. Speaking of the pizza, after we got it home and microwaved it, it was pretty unremarkable and tasteless. There was nothing good about it, no seasoning, no extra cheese (like we ordered). It was like eating bland. Yawn. Definitely not worth the price or the aggravation of the wait. As a non-local, I can't believe the awful pizzas here merit their own frozen versions in the grocery store. I thought that was reserved for good pizzas, but I guess I was majorly wrong. God, Chicago has gotta have better pizza than this garbage. Skip this one!

Howard L.
Our carryout order was our first Home Run Inn pizza try (that I can recall anyway). It was ok. I would just note that the sausage was slightly salty, and the cheese and toppings tended to disengage or slide off the crust (probably due to the layering of sauce in between). Overall, not bad, but just not in the same class as a Connie's or Lou Malnatii's. A 16" two-toppings large went for $24.50 pre-tax. The restaurant looked nice, clean, and modern for a drop-in meal if desired.

Home Run Inn isn't the first place I think of to go, but I've always enjoyed it. We went on a recent Friday night and it was one of the better experiences we've had there (never a bad one). The waitress (Cyndi-sp.?) was something else. Full of energy and stopped by at just the right intervals and times. Combine that with her awesome accent (very Chicago) and it reminds you of the character(s) we have in this part of the world. Food-wise all positives as well. The cheese garlic bread is remarkable-two large loaves of bread with a more-than-generous amount of fresh garlic, butter, and perfectly melted cheese. We took some home and it was still great two days later! The pizza was well done as always with the unmistakable crust and just-right browned cheese. I tried the meatball grinder and really enjoyed it. The meatballs were a perfect size-not too small or large and just a little bit of sauce was on the sandwich, but a cup of sauce was on the side. It was meat sauce, which hit the spot. While it's not the cheapest place around, you do get a good value in terms of the quantity and quality of the food and their draft beer is just the right temperature!

Home Run Inn pizza is always delicious. My complaint isn't with the quality but lack of variety. I've been to the Downers Grove/Woodridge location for their buffet several times and they have a huge spread. So when we went to the Bolingbrook one, I was expecting the same thing. I was wrong. It was of course about six varieties of pizza. But what was lacking was the selection of salads and side dishes like other locations. Usually there's chicken strips, pastas, sausages, salads, etc. It wasn't here except the chicken strips but nothing to dip the strips in. Not marinara, no ranch, hell not even ketchup. I was kinda disappointed because I know other franchises have better spreads for the same price. The service was really good. Our drinks were always kept filled and the napkins were a-plenty. But like other reviewers said, "What's with all the chubbies?" (I say that with love as a fat girl and frequent buffet diner). It's ironic that Jenny Craig is only next door. Did they escape? I felt like I had to fight to get a slice of pizza. Pizza is great, service is good but selection is limited. Dine at your own risk especially when fighting with Bertha for a pepperoni.

Went as a party of three on a Saturday night and had a great experience. The wait was about 20 minutes and we killed it at the bar without issue. Our server was very friendly and competent. The food was great but pizza is so subjective. I'm a fan of HRI pizza, so my food rating is based on the pizza at this particular HRI compared to the several others I've been to. In fact, prior to having it at this location I used to think I liked the frozen better. What I had at this location changes my perception, color me impressed.

Pascal M.
HRI is in a league of their own. Their buttered thin crust is outstanding. Incredibly unhealthy, but I mean, it's pizza. So who cares? Their meat lovers is DA BOMB like DONKEY KONG!!! Pepperoni, sausage, and bacon!!! AWHHHHH YEAHHH!!!!! The service is whatever, I simply love their pizza. The cheese is cooked until nicely browned, the sausage has plenty of fennel, the pepperoni is nicely cured, and the bacon...well...it's bacon. Their crust gets perfectly crisp and is just the right I believe, they make the best frozen pizza around. It tastes almost identical to a pizza from their restaurant. HRI is solid pizza and a nice change up from deep dish.

I went to Homerun inn for dinner last night. Although I have had, on only a couple of occasions, the frozen Homerun Inn pizza, I had never had the restaurant version before last night. I had a cheese pizza, a sausage, onion black olive pizza, and an order of cheese sticks. I found the waitstaff to be competent, but not much better than that. Requests were always fulfilled, but sometimes a bit slow. Nothing unbareable. The mozzerella sticks were pretty good. Nothing out of the ordinary. I have to say, I feel the same about the pizza. It was a decent pizza with apparently fresh ingredients, but lacked character. There wasn't anything special. It's a step above a pizza hut, of course. Especially since it isn't close to home for me, I doubt I'll be going back. If it were around the corner, it may be a place I'd visit once in awhile.

A Chicago classic, but it's not the best pizza in town. I'm not saying it's horrible, but it is extremely salty and I can easily name a dozen pizza places within a 5-mile radius of this location that I'd rather go to. Both times I've been here the service was a tad bit slow, but could have been worse. Great decor.

This evening we ordered one of their Hall of Fame pizzas...the 16" X-Large Nick's Super ($28.95). It comes with Sausage, Mushrooms, Green Peppers and Onions. The taste was okay...I enjoyed it. However I wasn't too thrilled with the fact that the green pepper and onions were diced. The only time I want diced toppings is in my Denver Omelet. Some how another topping made it to the pizza...diced tomato. Woah! Watch out...I didn't order that and their menu clearly states Sausage, Mushrooms, Green Peppers and Onion only! Maybe I'm still stuck in the 80's when I would frequent their 75th/Lemont location..but I think HRI's pizza has changed.

First time visiting a homerun inn pizzeria. But i have had their frozen pizzas from the store. The fresh pizza is by far better than frozen. Our pizza came out piping hot,gooey cheese and a thin cripy crust. Delish! We washed it down with a crisp angry orchard. Can't go wrong with pizza and beer..i mean hard cider,right? But the real reason i gave it 4 stars is because we had desert. We ordered the banana foster breading pudding with vanilla ice cream. OMG! I could have slapped anybodys momma at that point but none was around. Lol It was so good and moist and if we hadnt scarved it down quickly i would have taken a pic. And i really dont like bananas but the "chiquita"in me must have came cause i ate those. Lol

I don't like in Chicago, but I grew up visiting all the time. My family is all out there, and so when I come back I try, usually unsuccessfully, to appeal to the family that eating pizza and Italian Roast Beef for every meal is perfectly acceptable. But alas, when they do give in and we get a pie, we always come here. I love the flavor and I'm a huge fan of the pies that are cut square rather than in big slices, like this place does! So for me, it's what I look forward to when coming out to Chicago!

I am a fan of Home Run Inn Pizza. I love the melt in your mouth crust on the thin pizza. The Cesar Salad is to die for. One exception ,if they cook the pizza too long it comes out too burnt for my taste. Every Tuesdays is pizza night for us. We enjoy the staff who is both friendly and attentive to our needs. Go and enjoy pizza for two or twenty. You wont be disappointed.

I ate at Home Run Inn last night and was disappointed. I've ordered from them many times in the past and they are always good. Last night I decided to try something a little different and go with their sausage, mushroom, green pepper, and onion pizza as opposed to my normal Sausage and pepperoni. I was shocked when I looked at it and tasted the pizza, canned mushrooms! I'm also pretty sure the green pepper was frozen. I seek out quality, real pizza and am willing to pay for it. When I shell out $25 for a large pizza I expect the ingredients to be top shelf, not canned crap.

Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.

My husband had heard from several coworkers that the have the best pizza. I we were not impressed. It was just ok. I make better pizza at home for fa less money. The pizza was dry; it barely had any sauce on it. And I think the spinach on my pizza was frozen spinach. All in all, we might consider going back, but it would not be our first choice. The service, however, was good.

YUM! Came here on a busy Friday night for pizza with the in-laws and loved it! FOOD: +Extra large veggie pizza with mushrooms, bell peppers and onions. Could have ordered the large (for 5 of us) and still had leftovers. The crust was PERFECTLY crunchy and soft. +Garlic Cheese Bread- perfect bread +No coke zero here unfortunately SERVICE: We were seated immediately at 8:30 on a Friday night without reservations and our waiter was a sweet guy. AMBIENCE: Family friendly, large, bustling pizza joint. I would come back here again! -Hungry Hungry Pongy

Hearing rave reviews and hype about this place, I finally went as a party of three. Ordered the 3 choice sampler which was a joke at an overpriced $15 (check out the picture I posted). Salad wasn't great and overpriced. OK so give Home Run the benefit of the doubt since they are a pizza place. Most importantly, their pizzas are not worth $25+. They don't taste any better justifying that overly inflated price. Conclusion, pizza is overrated and overpriced. High prices are not justified. I am not saying their pizzas taste horribly bad. Just saying they are on par or marginally better than Pizza Hut and similar. I never thought I'd pay over $70 (w/ tip) at a pizza joint. Never going back.

one of the best in chicagoland. been around for years. i've been eating this pizza for over 25 years. Frozen pizzas are great as well. lunch buffet at this location is well worth it.

This place is pretty good. The pizza is the same as all the Home Run Inns. Thin crust, they are generous with the cheese and toppings. The sauce is really good and has great flavor. It is a little costly but really filling as well. The large pizza's are huge. We didn't try anything else but people around us did and it looked pretty good. the service here was great, we were seated right away and our waitress was attentive and friendly. The cocktails are a little pricy, but they had some on special, hard lemonade, they said has two shots, pretty weak though. Family friendly place, but also have TV's for watching some sports. Everything looked clean and well taken care of. Will be back.

A chicago legand, I have been going to home runn inn as long as I can remember. I still remember taking a drive down to the south side of chiacgo when I was a kid just to get some of there great deep dish pizza. Now there are many locations in the burbs to fill my need for great deep dish pizza. The friday lunch buffet here is great. $10 for all you can eat pizza how can I pass it up. When we where seated and walked by the buffet I was getting worried because all the pizza was gone. The chairs in the resturant were at maximium load as the heffers were waiting for the troff to be filled once more. I didn't want to die by stampiede. However I was shocked at the rate pizzas contiuned to come out. The buffet wasn't ever empty too long and I was able to get my favorite slice. Crisis was everted thanks to the great staff at Home runn innn. All and all still great pizza.

Received an email for the Sunday Special for September 29, so my wife and I went in tonight, ordered a couple of beers and a pizza. After 40 minutes, the server stopped and said, "Sorry for the delay ...the pizza should be out in ten minutes." Fifteen minutes later, the server stopped and said, " Sorry for the delay.....the pizza should be out any time now." Ten minutes later, I left money for the beers and we left. INEXCUSABLE!!!!!

Our first visit to this restaurant was a great experience. Being as it was a Wednesday night it was not overly busy which meant we were greeted and seated right away. Our server came to the table and took our drink order within just a minute or two of us being seated. She was bubbly, friendly, and attentive throughout our whole meal. As another reviewer stated a bus boy even came by to clear our appetizer plates and was equally as friendly. Probably some of the best waitstaff I've seen in a long time. I could not find a problem with the service if I tried. The food was great. Try the Guiness Nachos as an appetizer!!!They are amazing:) I almost gave a 4 star rating because they are a little too pricey, however the combination of great service and HUGE portions still make it worth the visit & extra $.

As it relates to pizzas, Home Run Inn is another star in my book. This is another place I've really enjoyed eating at over the years (this is a newer location but just as good as it's Darien counterpart). They do a very good job on a consistent basis. I've never experienced a bad pizza from Home Run Inn. The staff are always very polite. As for the pizza, while the pan is very good, I prefer their thin crust. The sauce and cheese works better for my tastes with the thin crust. I love the spices in the sauce that gives it a very nice flavor. I like the Nick's Super (sausage, mushrooms, green peppers, & onions) when I want to step out. Generally, I'll stick to sausage & mushrooms (I may add some garlic when I get it home). Appetizers are very good but unless you're in a big group (or have a big appetite, or know you want to bring something home), you may want to pass on them. If you do, any of them will be very good- Mozzarella sticks, BBQ Wings, potato skins, or toasted ravioli. Now if time permits you, try the buffet (Bolingbrook is only on Friday, Darien is Monday- Friday). They rotate the pasta dishes so this will give you a nice opportunity to try some of their pastas. My experiences is that the buffet has been fresh and kept fresh during the lunch (especially during peak times). I'm partial to the lasagna. The Italian meatball grinder is another solid pick. Another spot where I haven't experienced a bad meal. Take a friend or make a visit. You cant also get their pizza frozen at your local store. Good but not as good as fresh made.

I do not need to go to the pizza, the pizza has come to me. I am really psyched that they built my absolute most favorite pizzeria so close to home. I go through withdrawal like symptoms when I can't get my Home Run Inn cheese and sausage pizza with a garlic butter crust on a somewhat regular basis. And the junkie that I am, I've been here at least six times since it's opening a little under a year ago. Not only does the menu have the basics of any Home Run Inn, including the to die for fried ravioli. It also has something that is a rare find in Bolingbrook. Good, friendly and competent service. From the bartender, waiter, cashier and busboy, I was astounded by the level of service received! This place makes me renew my faith in being a total pizza whore.
(5)Anna M.
Went for early lunch or dinner. Took them 10-15 for them to get drinks. Then saw our waitress. The manager had to take our order, I was so surprised by the service
(3)E S.
Bolingbrook doesn't have many sit down pizzeria's and I wasn't up for a drive to and from Naperville so we dined in at home run inn tonight. The bar was offering a special on a mint melt away martini and it was friggin amazing! And only $6! Needless to say I had two! The service could have been better but I'll chalk it up to the hostess stand being staffed by teens who just got their work permits and our waitress was nice but just seemed overwhelmed. She would disappear for a pretty long time because she was working two sections. Surprisingly of all the food we ordered (rigatoni, hardest salad, wings, and pizza , the pasta was by far the best selection. Hri's pizza is quite frankly about the same as the frozen one and was therefor underwhelming. I'd say save this place for a night when you're so tired that you neither want to drive far or cook. Prices were just low enough to make up for all the hings this place lacks.
(3)Dave Z.
Can you do less than one star? Called and ordered food tonight. 15 minute wait. Hostess seats me at the bar because we thought we'd grab a beer while we waited for our food. The crabby senior citizen employee comes up and says we are closed for the weather. First off, I was seated there. Second off, 2 diners were still eating. Third off, you have customers still waiting in take out for food. So bottom line, she was crabby that she was stuck working on SuperBowl Blizzard Sunday & could care less about making her boss any money or offering good customer service.
(1)Johnny T.
I've always liked their pizza but, they need to lower their prices. 16'' (which is their largest size should of been a warning sign) one topping with two sodas came to about $30. Yeah, I know they're a famous pizzeria but, come on, a lot of people would have a problem paying that high price. (especially now) Also, the big thing was that it tasted very similar to their frozen pizza. The pizza just seemed like it wasn't made the moment we ordered it. Our service was very accommodating, perhaps, a little too accommodating since the place wasn't that busy & the servers were bs-ing in the front of the place. I wouldn't come back to ANY Home Run Inn again. I'll just save some money & stick to their frozen pizzas thank you very much.
(2)T J.
My favorite thin pizza in Chicago, nothing to screw up here. Been coming to various locations for years now and always stays the same. Was nice that a location opened up closer to us, so no more driving! Pizza always comes fast, hot and delicious!
(5)Mike L.
When I was a kid we used to eat Home Run Inn Pizza at their original location in Cicero, IL it was EXCELLENT. Went to this location for their 'Lunch Buffet' with co-workers 2 Friday's in a row - what a mistake! The first week I thought maybe it was an off day, nope, BOTH times it was just about the most tasteless pizza I have ever had in my life! The dough was tasteless and the sauce was tasteless, if not bitter. But there were lots of fat people hovering over the pizza like it was their last meal!! As always, buffets are loaded with those who should not be eating that much food! Seriosuly, DOMINO'S or LITTLE CESAR'S is almost better than this pizza and that is a SAD comparison!-plus it was Greesy as hell! I cannot believe how people will eat just about anything because it's CHEAP. I will NEVER eat at this place or any Home Run Inn again for that matter - and by the way, it's funny how I saw a huge write up in the Chicago Sun Times this past Sunday talking about how successful they are with their frozen pizza line - well, like most restaurant's who prefer the cash over quality, Home Run Inn is at the bottom in my book.
(1)Wayne L.
We went here for one thing pizza, and we were not disappointed. I was very concerned because I had been hyping up the place to the family for about 3 months and was hoping it would meet expectations. I was satisfied but dont know how many times we will revisit because it is a bit of a drive for pizza, with so many excellent pizza places near by.
(4)Shannon H.
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.
(4)Kim C.
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!
(5)Timothy M.
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.
(4)Robert G.
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.
(1)Laurel H.
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.
(4)Mad I.
I had to knock a start off because the pizza did not live up to its mass produced grocery store sister!!! I know, how can I possibly be saying that??!?! BUT, the freezer section version has a hand tossed yummie and thick crust with awesome cheese, and the restaurant version had thin crust (no other option) with forgettable cheese..... Bummer... The good news is the pasta dish I had was sooooo good!! Rigatoni and I added the meatball...although don't say I didn't warn you, the meatball is great, but def not "stuffed with mozzarella" at least none that I could find. And if you get the salad, ask for caesar dressing on the side, pretty non existent.
(4)stephanie r.
I love deep dish. This was first time I've had the restaurant pizza. It was a let down. Service was ok. But, we were there over 2 hours. It took FOREVER to order and then FOREVER to get it. My kids couldn't hold it together that long. The salads were nothing special.
(3)Jessie S.
Home Run Inn frozen pizza is by far my favorite frozen pizza. I love it, but my husband absolutely hates it. However, we both work near Bolingbrook and decided to meet after work on a Friday for dinner. He somehow agreed to the Home Run Inn restaurant. The location itself is quite nice and offers a lot of seating. We were seated right away and ordered our drinks and an appetizer. We then ordered our pizza and added the buttered crust. As many have said, the service is a bit slow. When we got our pizza, I was a little disappointed. The pizza wasn't bad....but I personally like the frozen pizza better. The butter crust that we paid extra for didn't taste buttery or any different than normal crust. My husband, however, thought the pizza was pretty good. We will likely be back in the future, but I personally would rather have the frozen pizza. It's cheaper, has thicker crust, and more flavorful.
(3)Paul N.
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
(1)Tia F.
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...
(4)Denise B.
They did not honor their $5 off coupon. Cashier played with her hair the whole time then wanted to show me my pizza. No thank you nasty!
(1)Jen M.
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 31st 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.
(4)Amanda S.
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.
(3)Pat F.
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.
(4)Leah C.
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.
(3)Larry R.
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!!!!!!!
(1)Sanford R.
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.
(4)Crissy I.
Went here on a Saturday night to take home two pizzas for an easy dinner. What a mistake. It was a super crowded, unpleasant experience, complete with awful pizza. First of all, the staff here sucks. The girls behind the counter were rude and dismissive and had no interest in dealing with takeout orders, only in flitting around trying to be cute to the waiting customers. We saw them put our pizza out on the massive rack behind the counter, and when we told the girls it was there they claimed it wasn't ready yet. 10 minutes later, they deigned to give us our pizza. How kind. Needless to say, by the time we got it home, the pizza was cool. Goody. Speaking of the pizza, after we got it home and microwaved it, it was pretty unremarkable and tasteless. There was nothing good about it, no seasoning, no extra cheese (like we ordered). It was like eating bland. Yawn. Definitely not worth the price or the aggravation of the wait. As a non-local, I can't believe the awful pizzas here merit their own frozen versions in the grocery store. I thought that was reserved for good pizzas, but I guess I was majorly wrong. God, Chicago has gotta have better pizza than this garbage. Skip this one!
(1)Howard L.
Our carryout order was our first Home Run Inn pizza try (that I can recall anyway). It was ok. I would just note that the sausage was slightly salty, and the cheese and toppings tended to disengage or slide off the crust (probably due to the layering of sauce in between). Overall, not bad, but just not in the same class as a Connie's or Lou Malnatii's. A 16" two-toppings large went for $24.50 pre-tax. The restaurant looked nice, clean, and modern for a drop-in meal if desired.
(3)Jasmine G.
Love love love their pizza! We eat the frozen stuff all the time at home and it's even better in the restaurant and so many varieties too! Mmmmm...
(5)Michael R.
Home Run Inn isn't the first place I think of to go, but I've always enjoyed it. We went on a recent Friday night and it was one of the better experiences we've had there (never a bad one). The waitress (Cyndi-sp.?) was something else. Full of energy and stopped by at just the right intervals and times. Combine that with her awesome accent (very Chicago) and it reminds you of the character(s) we have in this part of the world. Food-wise all positives as well. The cheese garlic bread is remarkable-two large loaves of bread with a more-than-generous amount of fresh garlic, butter, and perfectly melted cheese. We took some home and it was still great two days later! The pizza was well done as always with the unmistakable crust and just-right browned cheese. I tried the meatball grinder and really enjoyed it. The meatballs were a perfect size-not too small or large and just a little bit of sauce was on the sandwich, but a cup of sauce was on the side. It was meat sauce, which hit the spot. While it's not the cheapest place around, you do get a good value in terms of the quantity and quality of the food and their draft beer is just the right temperature!
(4)Theresa C.
Home Run Inn pizza is always delicious. My complaint isn't with the quality but lack of variety. I've been to the Downers Grove/Woodridge location for their buffet several times and they have a huge spread. So when we went to the Bolingbrook one, I was expecting the same thing. I was wrong. It was of course about six varieties of pizza. But what was lacking was the selection of salads and side dishes like other locations. Usually there's chicken strips, pastas, sausages, salads, etc. It wasn't here except the chicken strips but nothing to dip the strips in. Not marinara, no ranch, hell not even ketchup. I was kinda disappointed because I know other franchises have better spreads for the same price. The service was really good. Our drinks were always kept filled and the napkins were a-plenty. But like other reviewers said, "What's with all the chubbies?" (I say that with love as a fat girl and frequent buffet diner). It's ironic that Jenny Craig is only next door. Did they escape? I felt like I had to fight to get a slice of pizza. Pizza is great, service is good but selection is limited. Dine at your own risk especially when fighting with Bertha for a pepperoni.
(3)Grant G.
Went as a party of three on a Saturday night and had a great experience. The wait was about 20 minutes and we killed it at the bar without issue. Our server was very friendly and competent. The food was great but pizza is so subjective. I'm a fan of HRI pizza, so my food rating is based on the pizza at this particular HRI compared to the several others I've been to. In fact, prior to having it at this location I used to think I liked the frozen better. What I had at this location changes my perception, color me impressed.
(5)Pascal M.
HRI is in a league of their own. Their buttered thin crust is outstanding. Incredibly unhealthy, but I mean, it's pizza. So who cares? Their meat lovers is DA BOMB like DONKEY KONG!!! Pepperoni, sausage, and bacon!!! AWHHHHH YEAHHH!!!!! The service is whatever, I simply love their pizza. The cheese is cooked until nicely browned, the sausage has plenty of fennel, the pepperoni is nicely cured, and the bacon...well...it's bacon. Their crust gets perfectly crisp and is just the right I believe, they make the best frozen pizza around. It tastes almost identical to a pizza from their restaurant. HRI is solid pizza and a nice change up from deep dish.
(5)Damon B.
I went to Homerun inn for dinner last night. Although I have had, on only a couple of occasions, the frozen Homerun Inn pizza, I had never had the restaurant version before last night. I had a cheese pizza, a sausage, onion black olive pizza, and an order of cheese sticks. I found the waitstaff to be competent, but not much better than that. Requests were always fulfilled, but sometimes a bit slow. Nothing unbareable. The mozzerella sticks were pretty good. Nothing out of the ordinary. I have to say, I feel the same about the pizza. It was a decent pizza with apparently fresh ingredients, but lacked character. There wasn't anything special. It's a step above a pizza hut, of course. Especially since it isn't close to home for me, I doubt I'll be going back. If it were around the corner, it may be a place I'd visit once in awhile.
(3)Andrew P.
A Chicago classic, but it's not the best pizza in town. I'm not saying it's horrible, but it is extremely salty and I can easily name a dozen pizza places within a 5-mile radius of this location that I'd rather go to. Both times I've been here the service was a tad bit slow, but could have been worse. Great decor.
(3)Andres D.
This evening we ordered one of their Hall of Fame pizzas...the 16" X-Large Nick's Super ($28.95). It comes with Sausage, Mushrooms, Green Peppers and Onions. The taste was okay...I enjoyed it. However I wasn't too thrilled with the fact that the green pepper and onions were diced. The only time I want diced toppings is in my Denver Omelet. Some how another topping made it to the pizza...diced tomato. Woah! Watch out...I didn't order that and their menu clearly states Sausage, Mushrooms, Green Peppers and Onion only! Maybe I'm still stuck in the 80's when I would frequent their 75th/Lemont location..but I think HRI's pizza has changed.
(3)Crystal R.
It's great for carry out. That's what we normally do. They recently remodeled but haven't dined in yet. When we are in a rush we place our order on-line and we don't have any complaints. It's always hot and ready.
(4)Dave P.
Michelle K was our waitress. She was great. Made recommendations and kept the drinks coming and glasses full. Great Job. Always have a good experience at this HRI.
(4)Andrew R.
Expensive and I echo the comments of others that say the service isn't that good. The food was so-so; not great.
(3)Melissa H.
First time visiting a homerun inn pizzeria. But i have had their frozen pizzas from the store. The fresh pizza is by far better than frozen. Our pizza came out piping hot,gooey cheese and a thin cripy crust. Delish! We washed it down with a crisp angry orchard. Can't go wrong with pizza and beer..i mean hard cider,right? But the real reason i gave it 4 stars is because we had desert. We ordered the banana foster breading pudding with vanilla ice cream. OMG! I could have slapped anybodys momma at that point but none was around. Lol It was so good and moist and if we hadnt scarved it down quickly i would have taken a pic. And i really dont like bananas but the "chiquita"in me must have came cause i ate those. Lol
(4)Patrick F.
I don't like in Chicago, but I grew up visiting all the time. My family is all out there, and so when I come back I try, usually unsuccessfully, to appeal to the family that eating pizza and Italian Roast Beef for every meal is perfectly acceptable. But alas, when they do give in and we get a pie, we always come here. I love the flavor and I'm a huge fan of the pies that are cut square rather than in big slices, like this place does! So for me, it's what I look forward to when coming out to Chicago!
(4)Brad L.
Excellent pizza. Have to get it fresh from the oven, no comparison to frozen. That's all we could get in Arizona.
(5)Jeffrey K. C.
Our 1st time here. Had no idea what to expect but I was pleasently surprised. The pizza was on point and the chicken wings were just awesome. Our server was great and we just had a great time
(5)Zack S.
I can't believe that I haven't discovered this place sooner! Not only is the pizza amazing but the service was perfect and timely. The whole family ordered something different and was so happy! Great environment and the cookie monster dessert is unbelievable! If you love the frozen pizza as much as I do, then the pizzeria will blow your mind!
(5)Ronald L.
Great Pizza, Lunch Buffet on Friday is small, but good. They are very expensive, but I would rather pay for a quality pizza instead of that fake tasting cheese others are now using. No Delivery!
(5)James C.
They have great pizza - I really enjoy the sausage as a topping and the crust is something special. Try the garlic bread or fried ravioli for an appetizer. The lunch buffet is great if you are really hungry!
(5)Sam N.
I am a fan of Home Run Inn Pizza. I love the melt in your mouth crust on the thin pizza. The Cesar Salad is to die for. One exception ,if they cook the pizza too long it comes out too burnt for my taste. Every Tuesdays is pizza night for us. We enjoy the staff who is both friendly and attentive to our needs. Go and enjoy pizza for two or twenty. You wont be disappointed.
(4)Rik S.
Food Poisoning! My kid and I had to go to the hospital after eating there. The doctor diagnosed it as food poisoning. We used to eat there probably once a month. No more.
(1)David C.
I ate at Home Run Inn last night and was disappointed. I've ordered from them many times in the past and they are always good. Last night I decided to try something a little different and go with their sausage, mushroom, green pepper, and onion pizza as opposed to my normal Sausage and pepperoni. I was shocked when I looked at it and tasted the pizza, canned mushrooms! I'm also pretty sure the green pepper was frozen. I seek out quality, real pizza and am willing to pay for it. When I shell out $25 for a large pizza I expect the ingredients to be top shelf, not canned crap.
