★★★★★ 5.0 michael campbell · Jan 2026

Everything about this place was outstanding! The pizza my granddaughter and I got was a large pan half meat lovers half pepperoni. And it was absolutely incredibly outstanding! Our two waitresses were off the charts amazing! I hadn't been here in over 30 years. But I remember how good the pizza was. So my granddaughter and I didn't hesitate to go here after spending the day at the Grand Bear Lodge indoor water park. What an amazing day we both had! We're going to have to do that trip again very soon!!! It's about 70 minutes from where we live. But well worth the drive!

Pizza was exceptional & exceeded my expectations. They delivered our pizza to the hotel with paper plates & napkins, without us requesting them to do so. So thoughtful.

★★★★★ 5.0 Brian J. · Nov 2023

Great food, great prices, great atmosphere, great service! I’d say this sums it up! We live an hour away but had been hearing about this place recently and decided to check it out. Well worth the drive! There’s some unique specialty pizzas on the menu and if you like cheese, this is your place. The deep pan was delicious and so was the thin crust. Again…they use LOTS OF CHEESE! Exactly why we came here and will be returning. Too many other pizza joints skimp on cheese, but not Lou’s! Staff was super friendly, quick service and the chicken wings were also delicious! We had the chicken fajita pizza on this crust and supreme on deep pan. We’ll be back again soon!

The server was great! We had a party of 13. She was amazing. The food was okay. The nuggets and fried pickles were good. I wasnt a fan of the chicken fajita pizza.

Probably your best bet for good food and reliable service in the area. It's generally thought of as a pizza place but it's really much more than that. There are a lot of options and there's something for everyone. The pizza reminds me of Home Run Inn but much better. Most mom and pop places charge much more for their pizza, so Lou's feels like a great deal to me. Service is fast and friendly
