Lou Malnati's - Chicago, IL Reviews

If deep dish pizza is your thing then you have to try Lou Malnati's out.  Our office is directly across the street which makes many of my friends very envious.  In fact people often know where our office is only after I tell them it is across from Lou Malnati's.

The sauce has a very nice fresh and sweet flavor to it.  And of course, how could you go wrong with "butter crust" and mountains of cheese?  Over the years I have become more of a Napolean style pizza fan, but if deep dish is the order of the day, then Lou's is the place to go.  You will find people who think Giordonao's or Bachino's...

I came here for my first taste of chicago pizza, and I'm so so glad I did. Our server was incredible and so sweet, and made a real big deal out of this east coast girl turning over to the deep side. Yes, the pizza took half an hour - but they warn you about this. Nobody can really complain about how long it takes once you eat it. We got the garlic crust with sausage, and it was absolutely perfect. I don't think I would get this delivery or to-go, because the crust would probably get a little soggy.

Before I even lived in the Chicago area, I was well versed in the world of Lou Malnatis pizza.  Every time my family would visit Chicago, we'd have to eat at Malnatis.  Now that I've lived here for the past 13 years, I can say that I have yet to tire of eating their pizza and am extremely glad there's a carryout location not 5 minutes from my house.  Every time we have visitors from out of town, Malnatis is the one place everyone *has* to eat before they leave town. We've also had numerous requests to bring the frozen pizzas with us when we travel out of town, and have also sent Malnatis to...

Very good pizza.  Not my top favorite, but if we had people from out of town, we would go there.  For healthier option, can get low-fat cheese.  The Lou's special with spinach, tomato, garlic is what my wife likes and I would eat it, too.

I like the fact that Lou's has individual pizzas. That way everyone can have the type of pizza they want. They have excellent pizza and you can watch the Cub game from the restaurant.

Lou Malnatis pizza is the best ever pizza in the world. Any pizza from there is out of this world. The Calamari fritti is awesome too.

I've always thought Lou Malnati's is great pizza, but a bit greasy and tough on your stomach!
