16 | November 21, 2018 | The tinley junction dining out tinleyjunction.com The Dish Kenootz Pizza celebrates 30 years this month Thomas Czaja Contributing Editor Ken Keeler can still remember the exact time and date, as well as the order. It was 5:01 p.m. Nov. 23, 1988. The first order was a large pizza with sausage, onion, green pepper and mushrooms, delivered to a man next door to his business, which Keeler opened that day and called Kenootz Pizza. Kenootz was the nickname given to Keeler by his grandmother as a child, and his mother told him to use that namesake for his pizzeria for good luck. The business started in Oak Forest, doubled its size and moved to Midlothian, changing its address there once before settling into its permanent location in that town. It opened its second location in Homer Glen in May 2017, which has several tables inside but is more of a carryout and delivery spot, as opposed to its Midlothian counterpart, which has more seating. Keeler and his wife, Dee, went into business with Homer Glen residents Kris and Tom Boylan, who now run the Homer Kenootz location. Keeler met Kris when she worked as a waitress at a now-closed restaurant in Midlothian. “I wanted to open a pizza place out here [in Homer Glen], but I’m too busy at the one in Midlothian,” Keeler said of how he and his wife became co-owners with the Boylans. “I needed a third person, and I knew how Kris worked. I handpicked her to run this place.” With the business about to celebrate 30 years, Keeler reflected on the time that has gone by and was candid when he said he could not have envisioned things turning out as well as they have. “[The pizza business] was the only business I really knew,” Keeler said. “I had worked at pizza places and figured I could do it myself.” The theme of listening to the customer has allowed Kenootz to survive and thrive, as Kris always is willing to fulfill a request a customer might have if she has the right ingredients, even if it is not on the menu. And Kenootz goes beyond making pizza, with Keeler long having been passionate about giving back. Kenootz Pizza 15755 S. Bell Road in Homer Glen Hours • 11 a.m.-10 p.m. daily For more information ...

Over the years, Keeler has spoken at career days from elementary to high schools about making pizzas, as well as donated countless pies and time to the likes of fire and police, sports and school fundraisers, churches, seniors, and more. The charitable concept is shared by Kris, who has brought that same giving nature to the Homer Glen store. “Whenever someone calls, The thin crust, 16-inch large pizza ($19.99 for cheese) is shown at Kenootz Pizza in Homer Glen, here with a sausage topping added. JACQUELYN SCHLABACH/22ND CENTURY MEDIA we try to do donate gift cards or sponsor or figure it out,” she said. 30th anniversary special Keeler and Kris knew they wanted to do something for their customers to celebrate 30 years, so they decided to create a special discount for one day only as another form of giving back. On Sunday, Nov. 25, they are planning an anniversary special of $9.95 for a thin crust, one-topping, 20-inch pizza for pickup only at both Kenootz locations. “I personally just want to thank everybody for 30 great years,” Keeler said. “It means a lot.” Choicesare good. 2.35 2.60 Learn moreatBylineBank.com/SuburbanCD *Rates areeffectiveasof8/20/2018.
