Discover a beloved destination serving generations-old family recipes
Pompei is one of those rare family-owned restaurants that feels more like someone’s kitchen than a dining room. As a fast-casual restaurant, you step up to the counter to order and feast your eyes on a glorious lineup of pizzas slices and strudels, a rolled and stuffed bread, similar to a stromboli. While you’re in line you can chat with the team or your line neighbor about what looks good, and that’s exactly the charm.
The Elmwood Park restaurant brings together tradition and community, offering the perfect spot for family dinners, casual lunches, and small private gatherings. Just like at their original location, every dish is made with the freshest ingredients and the same recipes passed down for generations. The team welcomes all neighbors in the west suburbs to become part of the Pompei family story.

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, and they had four sons & a daughter. The family lived above the bakery and worked many long hours making only bread and cheese pizza.
Today Ralph Davino continues his grandfather Luigi’s legacy by still rolling out family recipes. The family’s century-old commitment to fresh dough and hearty portions hasn’t wavered. That mix of history and heart made Pompei an icon, and now it’s drawing locals to its Elmwood Park location.
Pompei Elmwood Park is located at 22 W. Conti Parkway, Elmwood Park, IL 60707, in the Conti Parkway Circle near Grand Avenue.
