Lou Malnati's Pizzeria

First time trying real, deep dish pizza & it was amazing! Very friendly service and all the food was homemade and authentic. Very glad we got to stop by on our vacation. Also, I didn’t catch her name, but our waitress (she said she had been there since the early 70s) was so nice and made our lunch extra fun.

This Lou's is the original location great history! Excellent deep dish, as well as service. I ordered a large cheese with the butter crust which is must! Crust was nice and golden and they are definitely not shy with the cheese, sauce is was good super fresh ingredients... There's about a thirty minute wait for the pizza, but that's to be expected. Well worth the price you pay, as it's some of the best Chicago deep dish...It definitely stays true to it's reputation. 100% recommend!

A MUST STOP!!!!! When I come back to Chicago this is my spot for my DEEPDISH “THE LOU” with sausage!! And this time I went at happy hour which consist of $5 beers and $5 apps Which I go the Chicago style meatballs They come with a little extra kick which I loved it was my first time trying them I RECOMMEND! Also on my way out to the airport back to New York I grab a frozen deepdish to go.

This was our 3rd time to a Lou Malnattis as it has become our go to when in chicago. The service was super friendly from the moment we walked in.The pizza was delicious and filling as always.

UPDATE: Corporate reached out the day after and not only apologized but offered compensation for the situation. I’ve updated my review because of that support. We love Lou’s pizza and continue to be loyal customers. ORIGINAL REVIEW (August 2025): I LOVE Lou’s. As a former employee, I preach it and tell everyone I know it is the only way as far as deep dish goes. However, this location continues to disappoint and our most recent experience really warrants this review. The manager at this location on the day we were served--Khalil--was very rude and condescending. We purchased 3 sides of creamy garlic dressing and were given thousand island. We returned the dressings 3x, and were always given the same dressing. We showed them a picture, confirmation of a previous order, gave evidence of th
