Home Run Inn has partnered with the Chicago Cubs to be the official pizza of Wrigley Field, starting with Opening Day on Thursday, April 1, 2021. The iconic thin crust pizza will be available for Chicago Cubs fans all season long at every Cubs home game.

“We’re excited to welcome Cubs fans back to Wrigley Field this year and hope everyone enjoys this update to our food offerings at the ballpark,” said Alex Seyferth, Vice President of Corporate Partnerships, Marquee 360. “Home Run Inn is family-owned with a deep history in Chicago and we couldn’t be more proud to be partnering together to bring Cubs fans their delicious pizza.”

Wrigley Field will have two Home Run Inn-branded concourse concession stands added this month and sell pizzas at three additional stands. Baseball and pizza lovers alike can place a mobile order for an 8-inch whole cheese pizza for $10.00, or pepperoni and sausage for $10.50.

In addition to being the exclusive pizza served at Wrigley Field, Home Run Inn will launch co-branded frozen pizza boxes available from June through August at select Illinois and Indiana retail locations. Each box will include a code to enter for a chance to win the “Ultimate Chicago Cubs Experience.” The partnership will also include in-ballpark signage, retail opportunities as well as being the Official Pizza of Sloan Park in Mesa, Arizona next spring.

“Being named the official pizza of Wrigley Field is a great opportunity for Home Run Inn to share our legacy with Cubs fans,” said Dan Costello, CEO of Home Run Inn. “We can’t wait to be their official partner this season when the Cubs knock it out of the park.”

Home Run Inn operates nine Chicago area restaurants and sells frozen pizza in more than 40 states. The oldest family-owned frozen pizza label, Home Run Inn ranks among the top 10 in pizza brands sold nationally and number one in the Chicagoland area.

To keep up with customer demand at grocery stores and retail locations during the COVID-19 pandemic, Home Run Inn has produced more than 100,000 pizzas a day at its manufacturing facility in Woodridge, Illinois.

Home Run Inn has captured the hearts of Chicagoans with the same family tradition since it opened its first tavern on the South Side more than 73 years ago in 1947. The original pizza recipe is recognized for its irresistible flavor and hand-pinched buttery, flaky crust topped with only all-natural and premium ingredients.

About Home Run Inn Pizza

Home Run Inn is considered Chicago’s very own thin crust pizza known for its irresistible flavor, hand-pinched buttery crust, zesty sauce, plentiful cheese and homemade sausage. What started as a small tavern in the 1920’s, has grown to a company with 9 pizzerias throughout the Chicagoland area and frozen pizza sold in more than 40 states. Still family-owned and operated, Home Run Inn ranks among the top 10 in pizza brands sold nationally and number one in the Chicagoland area.
