As the temperatures drop and dining moves indoors, our top priority remains providing a safe, clean, and healthy experience.
That is why we are excited to implement technology developed by AIRPHX (pronounced “air-fix”) into all of our restaurants nationwide by mid November. After extensive research and on the advice of experts, we've concluded that this is the best system for us.
Here’s how it works
AIRPHX features “cold plasma” chambers intended to kill harmful airborne and surface organisms throughout the day. Used in hospitals, healthcare facilities, Olympic training centers, universities, police and fire stations, and casinos, it eliminates 90-98% of influenza, coronavirus, norovirus, hepatitis, salmonella, listeria, e.coli, and over 30 common bacteria and viruses both in the air and on other surfaces.
This is just one more important step that we are taking to continue improving health and safety measures in our restaurants, and we want to thank you for your continued confidence in us.
To our valued guests,
Thank you to all who have been dining with us and plan on dining with us in the future. We are making two changes to our health and safety procedures to continue to protect both our guests and employees. These new protocols are intended to provide an additional layer of protection and greater peace of mind to everyone whom we welcome through our doors.
Consistent with the CDC’s recognition of temperature screening as an optional strategy to help to prevent the spread of COVID-19, we will be temperature checking all dine-in guests at our full-service restaurants.
Upon arrival, all guests will have their temperature taken with an infra-red, no contact thermometer.
If a guest’s temperature is over (>) 100°F, the guest will not be permitted to enter but will be offered alternative accommodations, such as an order to go, or a reservation for another time.
Guests who wish to may wait 15 minutes outside the restaurant for a second temperature check but will not be offered a third temperature check.
The City of Chicago and Cook County have issued emergency travel orders directing travelers entering or returning to Chicago from states experiencing a surge in new COVID-19 cases to quarantine for a 14-day period from the time of leaving the identified state. In support of these efforts, we will be asking all dine-in guests at our Chicago and Cook County restaurants whether they have traveled to any of the locations that are on the current travel restriction list within the prior 14 days.
If you confirm that you should be quarantined as a result of the travel restrictions, you will not be permitted to enter but we are happy to offer alternative accommodations, such as an order to go, or a reservation for another time.
In the event travel restrictions are issued in other locations where we do business, we will do the same.
As a reminder, you must wear a face mask when entering, exiting, and moving around the restaurant, removing your mask while you are seated. If you are experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms, we kindly request that you join us another day when you are feeling better.
Thank you for your continued support and for doing your part to keep everyone in our restaurants safe and healthy.
We haven’t said a lot these past few days. We stand unequivocally with Black Americans and the tens of thousands of people of conscience demanding that we live up to our values as a nation. But it is the voices of those who have suffered the injuries of systemic racism that must be heard right now. We are listening intently. As we face the indisputable truth that we can do better, we reflect on how we can best drive meaningful change within our own organization and communities.
We are starting with a thorough review of our corporate giving strategies to ensure that we are focused on efforts to eliminate social injustice and improve lives in Black communities and communities of People of Color. We are making an immediate contribution to the NAACP LDF. Through litigation, advocacy, and public education, LDF seeks structural changes to expand democracy, eliminate disparities, and achieve racial justice in a society that fulfills the promise of equality for all Americans.
We know that actions speak louder than words and that we have a lot of work to do. It's a start. We pledge to move with deliberate speed and look forward to reporting back to you on our efforts.

Trust Us, You’ve Got to Try Bill’s Original Tavern Pizza in Rosemont
Dec 30, 2020
Because we all need a little at-home pizza party in our lives right about now, Bill’s Original Tavern Pizza is dishing out Chicago Tavern-style pizza for carryout and delivery in Rosemont! Bill’s menu is complete with appetizers like Parmesan French Fries, fresh salads, a variety of classic and modern thin crust pizzas, desserts and more!
Named for RPM Restaurant’s partner and native Chicagoan, Bill Rancic, the inspiration for the pizzeria came from two RPM partners, Bill Rancic and Kelly Clancy, who both grew up on the South Side of Chicago, where classic Tavern-style pizza was a big part of both of their childhoods.
“Growing up on the South Side of Chicago, my family would order Tavern-style pizza every Friday night from iconic South Side pizzerias like Fox’s and Aurelio’s,” says Bill Rancic. “To be able to open up a Tavern-style pizza place is exciting because I get to share something that was such a big part of my childhood with everyone.”
“My dad has owned a pizzeria for the last 25 years located on the South Side of Chicago at 115th and Pulaski,” says Kelly Clancy, Partner, RPM Restaurants. “I grew up working there and at the beginning of this project, the first stop for Chef Sam and I was to my family’s pizzeria.”
Available in three sizes including 10 inch, 12 inch and 14 inch, Bill’s signature pizzas include classic pies like the Meatball & Giardiniera made with prime beef meatballs, Italian Sausage made with fennel, Lugano Mozzarella, oregano and romano cheese, Bill’s Original Cheese and modern creations like Buffalo Chicken with shaved celery and a choice of ranch or blue cheese for dipping or BBQ Chicken topped with Kansas City BBQ sauce, caramelized onions and bacon. Guests can also make-their-own pizza with a choice of more than a dozen toppings. Gluten-free crust is also available upon request with an additional charge.
