Gabatoni’s was founded by Johnny Lynn and his wife Rosemary back in 1951. After completing his service in the United States Marine Corps, Johnny Lynn decided to take his love of food and share it with the community in which he lived. They had their first location at 300 Washington Street in Springfield, IL and stayed there for eight years. In 1959, they moved their beloved family-owned pizzeria to their present location on 300 Laurel Street, where they still make the freshest, most delicious pizza 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
