THE LEGEND
There’s a reason that we call this place a “Chicago” Grill. Our founder, Ike Sewell,
hung a welcome sign on the corner of Ohio Street and Wabash Avenue in 1943 and
invited the neighbors in for something good to eat. They loved the place…because
Ike was the kind of guy who never had a bad word to say and always remembered
his neighbors’ names…and their favorite dishes. That’s just how Ike was. Tell you
the truth, that’s just how Chicago is. Some people call Chicago the biggest little
town in America. It’s a friendly place, where people care about their neighbors.
They talk to strangers. And there’s always enough food on the table to feed one
more friend, however new to us they may be. And that’s the kind of place this is.
So, sit down. Relax. Say “hi” to the folks at the next table. And remember…the next
person who walks through the door may just be the best friend you will ever have.
HISTORY
Pizzeria Uno® began in 1943 when Ike Sewell opened a restaurant
at the corner of Ohio Street and Wabash Avenue in Chicago. Ike redefined
pizza by creating a deep dish crust and filling it with huge quantities of
only the finest meats, cheeses, spices, and vegetables. Unlike ordinary
pizza places, Uno® was a full-service restaurant offering friendly and
efficient table service in a casual, comfortable, and quality atmosphere.
It was not long
before Uno had more guests than it could handle.
Having no room to expand, Ike opened Pizzeria Due® one block away on
the opposite corner.
Pizzeria Uno and Due have become the most
celebrated pizzerias in the world. They are mentioned frequently in
gourmet cookbooks, magazines, and on national television and radio.
The Original Uno Corner of Ohio & Wabash Ave. Chicago
In 1979, after hundreds of attempts by major corporations and
entrepreneurs to “take Uno national,” Aaron Spencer, Chairman
Emeritus of Uno Restaurant Corporation, succeeded
in gaining Ike’s confidence to do just that. Aaron
opened his first Uno on Boylston Street in Boston.
Since then, the company has expanded to 30 states,
D.C., and internationally.

General Managers and Regional Directors of Operations.
All new

systems permit self-paced learning in a supportive and practical environment.
New managers develop expertise in the kitchen, bar and dining
room operations, purchasing, accounting, employee relations, training
and computer systems.
Development
doesn’t end there! After the MIT program, our corporate
training department will challenge individuals
with seminars that further increase their
business competencies and professionalism.
These programs vary, but typically include
topics like interviewing, employee retention
and personal development.
