If you want to include suburbs  These all have suburban locations as well. If you go to Home Run Inn we always order with fresh garlic, if you enjoy garlic it is the ultimate best!  Enjoy!  :):):):) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) ElGreene wrote in article ...

just in case you're craving Chicago pan pizza, perhaps should mention that Home Run Inn's (although many people assume the original location is by Comiskey Park, it's actually 5 miles to the west, the name came from someone hitting a ball through the window from a playlot across the street) specialty is thin crust pizza.
