Pompei Taylor Street

Pompei Taylor Street Pompei on Taylor is a "fast casual", family-friendly Italian dining experience. Open daily for lunch and dinner.
(1792)

Located in Chicago’s historic Little Italy neighborhood. Pompei was established by Luigi Davino back in 1909. He called it Pompei because it was located near Our Lady of Pompeii Church. Luigi married Carmella, they had 4 sons and a daughter. The family lived above the bakery & worked many long hours making only bread & cheese pizza. After returning home from World War II in 1944, Luigi's sons help

ed run the business. His eldest son, Alphonso, ran the bakery for 30 years with the help of his brothers Ralph, Solly & Uncle Rogie. When Alphonso retired in the 1980's, his nephew Ralph continued the family business with the support of his wife Rosemarie, mother Marie, sister Carmela and his children, Kim & Tom. Since then, our menu has expanded to what it is today. Using only the freshest & finest ingredients, we will continue to carry on the family tradition that Luigi instilled in 1909. Pompei is proud to say that we've been serving famiiies for 4 generations.
