Eat Out Chicago!Bacino's Italian Grill
Bacinos Italian Grill of Diversey
Bacino’s founder, Dan Bacin opened the first Bacino’s 30 years ago on Lincoln Avenue in Chicago, Illinois.
After all, Chicago was a world class pizza market with over 3,300 pizza purveyors, but Dan’s mission was to be the first to use only the freshest and highest quality ingredients – fresh mozzarella, fresh vegetables, and even making his own pizza sauce from scratch – while other pizzerias relied on canned and processed foods.
With Dan’s creativity and innovation combined with Linda’s management skills, Bacino’s has grown to four stores, both pizzerias and the very popular trattorias (Bella Bacino’s) that specialize in top quality pasta and lighter meals in addition to the pizza.
Their “heart healthy” stuffed spinach pizza was the first to be officially recognized by the Chicago Heart Association, listed in the Eat Well guide and is one of their top sellers.
Bacino’s has been the number one selling pizza at the Taste of Chicago for the past 30 years, has won the local AOL pizza poll the last several years and has been on Oprah twice for pizza dough spinning.
