Pizza Friday is a long-standing tradition at Bricks Inc — and while there’s no such thing as a pizza our staff won’t happily eat, we’ve obviously got a nearby joint we’re partial to. Our neighbors in Chicago’s Little Village can probably guess which one…
Since 1947, Home Run Inn has been slinging pies a few blocks over from us at 31st & Kildare. Like us, this familyowned business has deep roots in the community. Not only do they donate generously to national and local causes, the decor of their restaurants even reflects their city pride and strong Midwestern identity!
Over the years, we have been pleased to work with their design teams to specify reclaimed Chicago common brick for interior and exterior brick work. At the old Lakeview outpost, we provided “Full Range” thin brick slices for the logo-emblazoned wall behind the booths, while you’ll find “Medium Pinks” cladding the Berwyn restaurant, and more “Full Range” used on the flagship, original location (rebuilt in 2019).
This historic, home-grown material is the perfect choice for this beloved South Side institution. Though you can always grab one of their signature frozen pizzas at the grocery store, we invite you to come down to our neck of the woods and check out their brand new, larger space crafted by Vara Design! Pizza, beer, and bricks… a heavenly trifecta
