Village Inn Pizzeria Sports Bar & Grill has been a Skokie fixture since 1990, when owners Diana Rumsley and Desi Mulingbayan took over the space from its predecessor, Alberti's Pizzeria — a lineage the menu still nods to with an "Alberti's Style" pie.

Randy's Favorite extra-thin-crust pizza

The signature "Randy's Favorite" is the house's extra-thin-crust classic — just sauce, oregano, and mozzarella, no-frills by design — and it's still on the menu across all four sizes, from an $8.95 personal pie up to a $30.95 16-incher. That thin crust has real local credibility behind it: Village Inn took home back-to-back Pizza Wars titles in 2013 and 2014, and a Skokie Patch reader poll crowned it the neighborhood's favorite pizza spot by a wide margin.

Beyond the pizza, it runs as a genuine neighborhood sports bar — big TVs, a pool table, trivia nights, a patio, and a VIP Club loyalty program — serving Skokie, Morton Grove, Niles, and Lincolnwood. It's the kind of place built for a regular Friday-night order rather than a special-occasion splurge, and more than three decades in the same spot says it's doing that job well.
