What is Tavern-Style Pizza?

Tavern-style pizza is known for its ultra-thin crust, crispy edges, and square cut. Originating in Chicago, it was created as a snack in neighborhood bars to pair perfectly with a cold drink. Unlike the larger slices of New York-style pizza, Chicago tavern-style pizza is easy to enjoy with one hand while holding a drink in the other鈥攑erfect for a casual snack, social setting, or full menu.

A Slice of History: The Origins of Tavern-Style Pizza

The roots of tavern-style pizza date back to 1923 at our original tavern on the South Side of Chicago. Looking for a unique pairing, our founders decided to serve complimentary thin-crust pizza (instead of the usual bar snacks like pretzels). The result?聽 Our crispy, square-cut tavern-style pizza. Legend has it that one day, a baseball from a nearby park flew through the tavern window, leading to the name 鈥淗ome Run Inn.鈥� This moment became the foundation of our brand鈥檚 identity, marking the beginning of its journey as a Chicago pizza institution.

The Evolution of Tavern-Style Pizza

Over the years, Chicago Tavern-style pizza has evolved, but its essence remains unchanged. In the late 1960s, Home Run Inn was one of the first to introduce frozen pizzas, thanks to a loyal customer from Wisconsin who requested his pizzas partially baked to take home and cook later. This innovation led to the production of par-baked, frozen pizzas that could be enjoyed beyond the tavern, bringing the tavern-style pizza experience into customers鈥� homes.

As Gina Bolger, a fourth-generation family member and Senior VP of Marketing, explains, 鈥淲e were among the pioneers in conceptualizing frozen pizza. A regular customer from Wisconsin frequently requested his pizza to be partially baked. This piqued my grandfather’s curiosity, leading him to discover that the customer would store the pizza in his icebox to finish baking it later at home.鈥� This innovation helped Home Run Inn expand its reach, allowing people across the country to enjoy a slice of authentic Chicago tavern-style pizza.

The Legacy of Tavern-Style Pizza

Today, whether you鈥檙e searching for 鈥�tavern-style pizza near me,鈥� curious about the difference between 鈥渢avern-style pizza vs. thin crust,鈥� or looking to recreate a classic with tavern-style pizza recipes, it鈥檚 clear that this beloved Chicago tradition has earned out its place in pizza history.
No matter how you enjoy it鈥攁t your favorite local spot or baking a frozen version at home鈥攖he legacy of tavern-style pizza continues, serving up slices of history and flavor that connect generations, communities, friends, and family, far and wide.

While the Home Run Inn recipe has remained the same, quite a bit has changed with frozen pizza since the 1960s. We surveyed 1,029 U.S. consumers about their frozen pizza likes, dislikes, purchasing patterns, and consumption habits to learn more about how consumers buy, eat, and perceive frozen pizza in 2022 and beyond.

See below for the full report:

For the Love of 老司机app

We often hear that Home Run Inn frozen pizza is preferred to the pizza served at local pizzerias across the country and, indeed, many of the consumers surveyed prefer frozen to restaurant pizza. In fact, 46% of the consumers surveyed have purchased a frozen pizza that was superior in taste or quality compared to a pizza from a restaurant/pizzeria. Half of the consumers surveyed consider pizza their favorite food.

老司机app Toppings, Ranked

While there鈥檚 no shortage of opinions on which frozen pizza toppings are considered the best, we asked consumers which toppings are their favorite 鈥� both adults and their children.

Top 5 老司机app Toppings for Adults

1. Pepperoni
2. Cheese (plain)
3. Sausage
4. Mushroom
5. Four cheese

 Top 5 老司机app Toppings for Children

1. Cheese (plain)
2. Pepperoni
3. Sausage
4. Four cheese
5. Mushroom

The least favorite frozen pizza topping for both adults and children was 鈥渕eatless substitute.鈥� Surprisingly, the survey revealed that 21% of adults and 11% of children prefer pineapple as a frozen pizza topping.

The Hunger Is Real

It鈥檚 true, you can limit yourself to only two slices of pizza 鈥� by making a single cut down the middle of a pizza. Interestingly, 53% of respondents have eaten an entire frozen pizza in one sitting, by themselves 鈥� with 61% of male respondents and 45% of female respondents admitting to the feat.

Regionally in the U.S., the Middle Atlantic and East North Central regions reign supreme, having the highest percentage of respondents who have eaten a full frozen pizza by themselves in one sitting. Runners-up include the East South Central, West North Central, and Mountain regions. The region with the lowest percentage of respondents who have completed the one-pizza feast is New England.

Nearly 1 in 3 respondents (31%) have served a frozen pizza while on a date 鈥� with 35% of males and 26% of females having cooked a frozen pizza for their significant other.

Shopping habits evolved over the course of the pandemic, with 43% of respondents stating they have purchased more frozen pizza during the past 2 years than they previously had.

A majority of the consumers surveyed (65%) shop online for groceries 鈥� with 41% stating they purchase frozen pizza online 鈥渕ost of the time鈥� or 鈥渟ometimes.鈥�

老司机app Loyalty 

62% of the consumers surveyed do not consider themselves 鈥渓oyal鈥� to a particular frozen pizza brand. In fact, 54% of respondents have switched from a frozen pizza brand they typically purchase to a new frozen pizza brand based on a promotional price.

Respondents are also more inclined to purchase more pizza when there鈥檚 a sale, with 70% of the consumers surveyed laying that claim.

The Final Touch 

We love hearing about all of the ways that our fans use spices, sauces, and additional toppings to customize their Home Run Inn frozen pizzas. View a list of the recipes that HRI has compiled.

As for the consumers surveyed in the report, unsurprisingly, parmesan cheese (56%) was the top ingredient/spice that respondents prefer eating with frozen pizza. Runners-up include red pepper flakes (40%), garlic salt/powder (26%), Italian seasoning (24%), oregano (21%), 鈥渘othing鈥� (19%), hot peppers (giardiniera) (15%), spinach (15%), and 鈥渙ther spices鈥� (8%).

Top Foods Respondents Eat with 老司机app

1. Salad (63%)
2. Garlic bread (41%)
3. Wings (40%)
4. Mozzarella sticks (31%)
5. Pasta (22%)
6. Vegetables (20%)

Square Cut vs. Pie Cut Pizza 

Home Run Inn is Chicago鈥檚 premium pizzeria, so we like our slices cut in squares. While the idea of square-cut pizza may be somewhat new to consumers across the country, we鈥檝e been cutting our pizzas in squares since 1947. Interestingly, 12% of respondents prefer their pizza cut in squares and 88% said they prefer their pizza pie cut.

As a result, we surveyed 1,072 Americans and asked them about their tipping habits when dining out, ordering takeout, and ordering via third-party delivery services like DoorDash, GrubHub, and UberEats.

Tipping Behavior Throughout ThePast Year

While the pandemic has impacted many people鈥檚 ability to work, it appears a near-majority of Americans are still reaching into their pockets to leave generous tips. In fact, 49% of respondents stated they鈥檙e tipping a larger amount, on average, over the past year when dining out at restaurants, ordering food online, and/or going to bars.

42% of Americans surveyed said they haven鈥檛 adjusted their tipping habits at all over the past year, and 9% stated they are tipping a lesser amount.

Having worked in the service industry can also have an impact on how people tip. 28% of respondents said they tip staff more as a result of previously having a job that depended on tips.

As you might expect, household income also appears to have an impact on how Americans are tipping in 2021. In fact, 45% of households that make $100,000 or less said they鈥檙e tipping more this year than in previous years. In comparison, 62% of households that make $100,000 or more stated they鈥檙e now tipping staff more.

How Sympathy/Empathy For Essential Workers Impacts Tipping

61% of those who said their tipping behaviors have changed in the past year cited feeling sympathy and/or empathy for service people who are working through the pandemic as the reason.

Of note, female respondents were much more likely than men to cite sympathy/empathy as a reason they鈥檙e currently tipping more than the previous year (70% of females, compared with 52% of males).

While all age groups within the survey cited sympathy/empathy for the staff as the main reason they鈥檙e tipping more this year, sympathy/empathy was more of a factor for older respondents than younger respondents. Below is a breakdown of respondents who cited sympathy/empathy for the staff as a reason they鈥檙e tipping more in 2021:

• 18-29: 43%
• 30-44: 59%
• 45-60: 60%
• 60+: 86%

Tipping Despite The Perception Of Receiving Bad Service

In the past year, 67% of respondents said they鈥檝e still tipped staff despite receiving bad service. It appears that this trend won鈥檛 reverse any time soon either 鈥� with 47% of respondents stating they are 鈥渓ikely鈥� to 鈥渧ery likely鈥� to tip if they receive bad service in the future.

Which states are awarded bragging rights as the 鈥渒indest鈥� tippers in America (they tip despite believing they have received bad service)?

1. East South Central (Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennessee) 鈥� 87%
2. New England Region (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont) 鈥� 72%
3. Middle Atlantic (New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania) 鈥� 72%
4. East North Central (Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin) 鈥� 69%
5. South Atlantic (Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia) 鈥� 69%
6. West North Central (Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota) 鈥� 65%
7. Mountain (Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming) 鈥� 61%
8. Pacific (Alaska, California, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington) 鈥� 61%
9. West South Central (Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Texas) 鈥� 57%

Tipping When Ordering Food Online

Online ordering exploded during the pandemic 鈥� the top four companies (DoorDash, GrubHub, UberEats, and Postmates) reported nearly $5.5 billion in combined revenue from April through September 2020 alone (more than twice as much revenue the companies reported during the same period in 2019, according to a MarketWatch ). As consumer behaviors shift to online ordering, we set out to understand how this shift has impacted tipping.

58% of respondents stated they鈥檙e tipping the same amount or more when ordering from services like DoorDash, UberEats, and/or GrubHub than if they were to dine out at a restaurant.

48% of respondents stated they鈥檙e tipping the same amount or more when ordering online directly from the restaurant than if they were to dine out.

Curbside pickup is a term that was rarely used by consumers before the pandemic. It appears, however, that tipping habits have transferred to this now commonplace service as well: 38% of respondents said they 鈥渁lways tip鈥� when utilizing curbside pickup for online food orders. In comparison, 32% stated they 鈥渁lways tip鈥� when picking up carryout orders inside the restaurant.

Tipping When Gratuity Or A Surcharge Is Included By The Restaurant

With increased costs, plummeting patronage, and ever-increasing uncertainty during the height of the pandemic, many restaurants supported their staff by adding a mandatory surcharge and/or gratuity to customers鈥� bills 鈥� which likely impacted how customers tipped.

In fact, 51% of respondents stated they are 鈥渦nlikely鈥� to 鈥渧ery unlikely鈥� to provide an additional tip if a restaurant automatically adds gratuity to the bill.

However, 40% of respondents stated they would be OK with restaurants adding a surcharge to the bill, in place of tipping 鈥� with 28% stating they would still provide a tip if a restaurant included an automatic surcharge.

The 20% Rule

While the 20% rule is fairly typical when it comes to tipping (adding a gratuity that is equal to 20% of the total cost of the bill), we set out to understand if the 20% rule was currently the most popular option for customers attempting to decide on how much to tip.

It seems the 20% rule still reigns supreme but only when eating at a restaurant. 60% of respondents said they use the 20% rule when dining out, compared with only 35% when ordering food online. Indeed, 21% of respondents said they are tipping in excess of 20% when dining out at a restaurant. Finally, 53% of respondents said they tip less than 20% of the total bill when ordering food online.

At Home Run Inn Pizza, few things mean more to us, as a brand, than bringing families together for shared meals. This year has impacted virtually every element of our day-to-day lives 鈥� including how and where we dine (both individually and as a family).

To gauge the evolving nature of family dining, we surveyed 1,067 families across the U.S. and asked questions regarding family dining priorities and experiences 鈥� delving into family鈥檚 at-home cooking behaviors, as well as restaurant dine-in and takeout/delivery patterns (pre, and post-pandemic), resulting in the first annual, 鈥淗ome Run Inn Family Dining Report.鈥�

What the data provided is not only an encouraging view into the positive, long-lasting potential effects of the pandemic (relative to carving out quality, family time), but a testament to the bond many feel family dining helps to solidify.

Family meals have long provided the occasion for loved ones to come together, communicate and strengthen relationships, and based on the results of the survey, it would appear that families are more eager than they鈥檝e been in years to reprioritize this once sanctified pillar of the family social dynamic.

Rating the Importance of Dining Together as a Family

Overall, the families that we surveyed placed a high level of importance on eating together as a family. 31% of respondents rated the level of importance of eating together as a family a 10 out of 10 (extremely important), and 58% of respondents rated the level of importance of eating together an 8 or higher (out of 10). The average score from all families surveyed on a scale of 1 (not important whatsoever) to 10 (extremely important) was 7.5.

The Frequency of Family Meals

42% of the families surveyed felt that they currently eat together as a family frequently. Of the families that said they do not eat together as frequently as they鈥檇 like, they cited the following as the main reason(s) why:

鈼� 18% 鈥� Work
鈼� 13% 鈥� Dining together is a low priority for their family
鈼� 10% 鈥� Children鈥檚 extracurricular activities
鈼� 8% 鈥� School
鈼� 6% 鈥� Health reasons
鈼� 3% 鈥� Inability to cook

Encouragingly, 80% of the families surveyed anticipate eating meals together as often, or more often than they did before the pandemic 鈥� when things return to 鈥渘ormal鈥� (post-pandemic).

Dining Together at Home

Despite the challenging times that many families are facing (and the obvious stresses this can cause), 68% of respondents stated they are eating together as a family as frequently, or more frequently than they were before the pandemic.

When segmenting the data by employment status, family members who are currently not working were most likely to eat together frequently (5+ times per week). Family members currently working a mix of in-person and remote (work from home) were least likely to frequently eat together as a family (5+ times per week).

When segmenting the data by children鈥檚 schooling status, families that have children who do not currently attend school are most likely to frequently eat together (5+ times per week). Families with children currently attending school in-person (away from the home) were least likely to frequently eat together (5+ times per week).

The most popular days of the week that families eat together are:

1. Wednesday
2. Tuesday
3. Thursday
4. Monday
5. Sunday
6. Friday
7. Saturday

Cooking Together at Home

65% of families stated they currently cook at home and eat together at least 4 or more days a week, on average. In fact, 36% of respondents cook at home and eat together as a family at least 5 or more days a week, on average.

While many of us can appreciate our family鈥檚 favorite home-cooked meals, 58% of the families surveyed in our report have branched out to cook a wider range of recipes/meals as a result of the pandemic. Nearly half of respondents (49%) have run into issues finding their family鈥檚 favorite food products due to a shortage at their grocery store, causing them to cook alternative recipes/meals.

One family tradition that鈥檚 sure to be impacted this year is holiday gatherings. 58% of families surveyed are anticipating changing their holiday cooking/dining plans based on the pandemic this year.

Dining Out at Restaurants

It may come as no surprise that as myriad restaurants face restrictions and limited ability to be fully operational, customers are finding themselves dining out less often as they had pre-pandemic. Indeed, 43% of families surveyed were dining out at restaurants more often prior to the pandemic.

One bright spot, however, is that as families make the decision to dine out, they鈥檙e prioritizing local establishments. 59% of the families surveyed have prioritized eating at locally owned/operated restaurants more than they had before the pandemic.

While many families have adjusted their in-person dining habits, there are certain groups that eat out more frequently than others. Family members who strictly work in-person (away from the home) are most likely to physically dine out at restaurants frequently (2 or more times per week), when compared to families with family members working remotely, or currently not working. Overall, 30% of respondents stated they are dining out at restaurants more often now than before the pandemic.

Additionally, respondents with children attending school in-person were most likely to physically dine out at restaurants frequently (2 or more times per week), as opposed to families with children enrolled in remote learning or not attending school altogether.

As we previously noted, 58% of the families surveyed became more adventurous with the types of food they were cooking at home, however, that adventurous spirit has not translated to in-person dining experiences 鈥� with respondents seemingly sticking to their go-to restaurants. Only 22% of the families surveyed say they鈥檝e dined out, as a family, at a wider range of restaurants than they had pre-pandemic.

Takeout, Delivery, and Curbside Pickup

Many restaurants have adjusted their services to accommodate patrons in the wake of the pandemic 鈥� utilizing new curbside pickup, takeout, and contactless delivery methods. 72% of the families surveyed currently order delivery from restaurants as frequently or more frequently than they had before the pandemic. In fact, nearly half of the families surveyed (47%) currently order delivery from restaurants at least once a week.

Takeout appears to be even more popular among the families surveyed, with 67% stating they are ordering takeout as frequently or more frequently than they did before the pandemic. 65% of the family members surveyed currently order takeout at least once a week, and 39% currently order takeout from restaurants 2 or more times a week.

Many families are also opting to use contactless options at restaurants 鈥� with 63% of respondents stating they prefer to utilize curbside/no-contact pickup services at restaurants when it鈥檚 offered.

Looking Ahead

As the data clearly demonstrate, families plan to continue their trend of increased togetherness, relative to shared meals. As a proud family-owned and operated company, 老司机app celebrates you and your family as you sit down, turn off your phones, and share a family meal.

Are you the type of person who has to religiously read online reviews before you set food into a restaurant? It turns out you鈥檙e not alone. Millions of people flock to review sites like Google, Yelp, TripAdvisor, and even social media sites like Facebook to see if a new restaurant is worth trying, what their best dishes are, or whether or not you should avoid it like the plague.

Research shows that the average person reads about seven reviews before making their decision to visit a business or not. But are all reviews and review sites created equal? What鈥檚 really behind the ratings and reviews that we rely on for information about all of the new restaurants and bars?

In order to better understand the rankings and platforms used to publish them, we used Eater.com鈥檚 鈥�38 Essential鈥� lists and analyzed 4,000 data points across Google, Yelp, Facebook and TripAdvisor. Let鈥檚 take a look at what we found out about restaurant ratings鈥攁nd which places in the world are the most opinionated.

Overall Rankings

Out of the review sites that we looked at鈥擥oogle, Yelp, Facebook and TripAdvisor鈥攚e noticed some telling patterns among them. The site with the highest ratings overall was social media giant, Facebook. Interestingly, the site with both the highest number of reviews and the lowest ratings was Yelp, which could mean that the majority of online reviewers are fairly critical. Finally, the site we found with the lowest number of reviews is TripAdvisor.

The Most Critical Restaurant Goers in the World

We all have that one friend who never seems to be impressed with any restaurant, but are there whole cities filled with these types? We looked at the average ratings across Google, Yelp, Facebook and TripAdvisor to get a sense of which 25 cities around the world were the most critical of their local restaurants online.

It turns out that the worst rated restaurants across all the platforms are in Austin, Texas, followed by Houston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington D.C., New York City, New Orleans, Montreal, London, and Dallas. Following these top 10 most critical cities are Chicago, Nashville, the Twin Cities, Paris, Atlanta, Miami, Portland, Las Vegas, Detroit, and Philadelphia.

And which cities in the world have the best-rated restaurants? According to our data, the best-rated restaurants were all in Charleston, Denver, Boston, San Diego, and Seattle.

We also wanted to look at which cities were the most opinionated. In order to determine this, we examined the average number of reviews across Google, Yelp, Facebook, and TripAdvisor. The most opinionated city according to our data is Chicago, who had the most reviewed restaurants out of all the cities in the world. New York took the no. 2 spot, followed by San Francisco, Las Vegas, New Orleans, Washington D.C., Los Angeles, San Diego, Nashville, and Houston came in at no. 10.

Just short of the top 10鈥攂ut still plenty opinionated鈥攚ere Portland, Austin, Miami, Charleston, Atlanta, Detroit, the Twin Cities, Philadelphia, Dallas, and Boston.

So, which cities had the least number of reviewed restaurants? The city with the least reviewed restaurants was, surprisingly, London, followed by Paris, Denver, Seattle, and Montreal.

Breaking it Down by Review Platform

In order to get an even better understanding of ratings and reviews, we wanted to look at the data by review platform to see if this changed any of the results that we found overall.

We took a look at the highest ratings, lowest ratings, highest number of reviews, and the lowest number of reviews for Google, Yelp, Facebook, and TripAdvisor鈥攁nd we found some pretty interesting patterns.

On Google, the three cities with the highest rated restaurants were Philadelphia, Seattle, and Charleston (which was fairly consistent with our overall findings). The three cities with the lowest rated restaurants on Google were Paris, London, and Montreal. Coincidentally, London and Paris also accounted for the cities with the lowest number of reviews on Google (in addition to Denver). The cities with the highest number of reviews on Google were Chicago, New York, and San Francisco鈥攙ery consistent with our overall data.

On Yelp, however, we found almost entirely different results. The cities with the highest rated restaurants were Charleston, Paris, and Nashville. We also found that Paris was one of the cities on Yelp with the lowest number of reviews, along with London and Montreal. Interestingly enough, we found that there were some parallels drawn between the cities with the lowest rated restaurants and the highest number of reviews on Yelp. Los Angeles was one of Yelp鈥檚 cities with the lowest rated restaurants but it also had the highest number of reviews. San Francisco also had the no. 2 spot for cities with the lowest rated restaurants and claimed the no. 3 spot for the highest number of reviews on Yelp. We also found that New York was listed in the cities with the lowest rated restaurants and Chicago took the no. 1 spot for the highest number of reviews, keeping consistent with our overall data.

Facebook also yielded some different results from Yelp and Google. The cities with the highest rated restaurants were Denver, Paris, and Seattle鈥攕imilar to our overall best-rated restaurants list. The cities with the lowest rated restaurants were Washington D.C., Portland, and San Francisco. The cities with the highest number of reviews on Facebook were Chicago, San Francisco, and New Orleans, which all came fairly close to the overall data. And the cities with the lowest number of reviews were London New York, and Paris. This is certainly an interesting find, as New York has the highest number of reviews on Google.

Finally, TripAdvisor also had completely different data outcomes. The cities with the highest rated restaurants on this review site were Charleston, Boston, and Detroit鈥攚hich at least had Charleston in common with Yelp and Google. The cities with the lowest rated restaurants were London, Montreal, and Washington D.C., producing similar low rated restaurant results to Google. On TripAdvisor, the cities with the highest number of reviews were New York, New Orleans, and Las Vegas鈥攚hich all came in on the top five on our overall data. The cities with the lowest number of reviews on TripAdvisor were Denver, Detroit, and Seattle, which might explain why Detroit cracked the top three for highest ratings.
