The Runaway Meatball opened its doors Tuesday on the south end of North Oakland Avenue in Shorewood.
Proprietor Tom Drilias and his three long-time friends have teamed up to open the Sicilian-style pizza restaurant at 3592 N. Oakland Ave., the former Mama Mia’s storefront.
Runaway Meatball serves Italian sandwiches, chicken wings, speciality hot dogs, a spaghetti and meatball dinner and of course pizza pies. Sides include homemade potato chips, “haystack” onion rings and macaroni and cheese, among other options.
