Ranalli’s Pizza Bar is Coming to Downers Grove: A New Neighborhood Favorite

Big news for pizza lovers and food enthusiasts in Downers Grove! Ranalli’s Pizza Bar, the iconic Chicago neighborhood pizza spot, is bringing its legendary flavors and lively atmosphere to the heart of downtown. Opening in 2026 at 5200 Main Street, the new location will take over the space long occupied by Emmett’s Ale House and share a building with Platinum Partners Realtors on the second floor.

A Taste of Chicago in Downers Grove

Ranalli’s has been delighting guests since 2013 under the leadership of Four Corners Restaurant Group, a leading, Chicago-based hospitality company. Four Corners owns and operates a variety of unique venues, including Federales, Benchmark, Gaslight, and more, each thoughtfully created to offer an exceptional social experience, creative menus, and superior service. What started as a single neighborhood bar in 2001 has grown across Chicago and is now expanding nationally, bringing unforgettable dining experiences to new communities like Downers Grove, its first suburban location.

At Ranalli’s, every dish is crafted with care. From tavern-style pizzas to signature 4C appetizers, hearty sandwiches, and fresh salads, the menu is a celebration of flavor. Guest favorites include:

• Ranalli’s Special – Italian sausage, mushrooms, onions, and green peppers

• Hot Honey Soppressata – whipped ricotta, roasted tomato, soppressata, and a drizzle of spicy honey

• Jumbo Chicken Tenders – a Ranalli’s classic you won’t want to miss

• Kale Salad – shaved broccoli, farro, toasted almonds, fresh herbs, orange, crispy wontons, and almond-lime dressing

Whether you prefer to dine in, grab carryout, or order delivery, Ranalli’s makes it easy to enjoy your favorites seven days a week.

A Space for Every Occasion

The new Downers Grove location will feature a lively dining room and an expansive dog-friendly sidewalk café, perfect for friends, families, and neighbors to gather. For larger gatherings, the restaurant’s dedicated private dining room can accommodate celebrations of all sizes, from wedding showers and first birthdays to corporate happy hours or post-game parties.

Ranalli’s isn’t just about great food, it’s about community. By partnering with local organizations and hosting neighborhood events, the team is committed to making every location feel like home.
