Old Style Beer joins in with exciting "Tavern Takeovers" at select taverns.
Home Run Inn, a beloved name rooted in the traditions of Southside Chicago, is proud to celebrate its second year as the founder of National Tavern-Style Pizza Day on October 22.

In the 1940s, the pizza became a local sensation, offering a signature experience with its generous toppings and zesty sauce.

Customers are limited to three pizzas for either dine-in or takeout, making it a grand opportunity for pizza lovers to share a sensational meal.
Beyond the special pricing, Home Run Inn will be teaming up with Old Style Beer to host "Tavern Takeovers" at select iconic Chicago taverns. On October 22, these venues will be transformed into vibrant hubs where patrons can enjoy complimentary slices of Home Run Inn’s famous pizza paired with Old Style beer.
