Some Chicagoans will have fewer options next time they want to grab a pizza.

By the end of the day Sunday, three Home Run Inn locations will be out of business. The company said it is shutting down its restaurants at 3401 S. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. in Chicago's Bronzeville neighborhood, 6825 W. Cermak Rd. in west suburban Berwyn, and 820 W. North Ave. in west suburban Melrose Park.

The other six stores will remain open. They are located at 6221 S. Archer Ave. in the Garfield Ridge neighborhood, 10900 S. Western Ave. in the Beverly neighborhood, 4254 W. 31st St. in the Little Village neighborhood, 1280 W. Boughton Rd. in southwest suburban Bolingbrook, 7521 Lemont Rd. in west suburban Darien, and 60 S. Mannheim Rd. in west suburban Hillside.

The history of Home Run Inn dates back to 1923, when Mary and Vincent Grittani opened a tavern at 31st Street and Kildare Avenue — where a Home Run Inn pizzeria is still located to this day.
