Reviews for Lou Malnati's Pizzeria in Chicago, IL
The pizza was very delicious. The suave was the right consistency and flavor. The cheese was stringy and thick. Make sure to get... the butter crust and crumble the sausage or it will be a flat sheet. The service was very good with really nice staff. I order achicken breast sandwich too and it was good. We also ordered the family salad and it was very fresh with tasty dressing. Read more
Heard a lot of great things about deep dishes in Chicago and had to try it. Ordered the small ?Lou? with pepperoni on top to... share with a friend. It was delicious but I think sausage would have been better instead of pepperoni. A small was a little toomuch for my friend and I so if I were to come back I would probably share a personal size. WARNING: because of the nature ofthis dish, we waited over one hour for our dishes to arrive (the server said it would be a 45 minute wait). I would recommendordering an app to snack on while time passes. My other 2 male friends ordered a medium Malnati Chicago classic with greenpeppers on top. I personally liked the Lou more because it tasted lighter. Read more
Lou Malnati's never disappoints! As someone who comes to Chicago regularly and has for years, it's one of my favorite places for... deep-dish pizza. Arrive early or prepare to wait awhile. Everyone pizza takes a full hour to cook, but it's so worth it. Ifyou're looking for a true Chicago-style pizza, this is a great option. Read more
After living for years in Chicago, it was nice to be back for business and to be able to enjoy some deep dish pie just like the... old days. I love that their crust is vegan unless you order the butter style. So check the website before you order. I did mineas a tomato pie with veggies and the crust still made my individual pizza amazing and worth the price tag. This location alsodid a great job delivering to us on site at work downtown, so I highly recommend them both based on the quality of their productand their service. For work we did thin crust and it was cut into little squares and we were provided serving utensils, napkinsand plates, which made a company lunch super easy. Lou's always wins the Chicago deep dish battle with me! I have a lot offriends on the other side of this fence, but until they're vegan friendly and offer such great service, I'll be hanging withLou.

We went to the Michigan Avenue location first which is a tourist heavy area. Since there was a 30 minute wait there, we walked... over to this River North location. We walked in and were seated immediately. The service was good and the food was great. Weordered the combo appetizer plate and a Lou Malnati small sausage pizza for the two of us. There is a relaxed vibe here. Ihighly recommend this location. This is my second time visiting this location with great experiences both times. Read more
The dine-in experience was great. The atmosphere was cozy and the staff was friendly. The original mule they have on the bar is... one of the best I?ve ever had. We had a pepperoni deep dish with some garlic bread as appetizers. The food was delicious,although it was a bit much for two people to finish. I?d definitely visit again and try a different dish of pizza. Read more
You can't come to Chicago and not stop in for the best Deep Dish Pizza in the city. The cheese pull in my picture should tell... you all you need to know. We were able to call ahead and reserve a spot while we were walking up to the location, and they had atable ready for us by the time we got there. Great food, good service, cold beer. This is our favorite location (the same can'tbe said about the Michigan Ave location). We'll always come back. Read more
Most likely the best deep dish chain. The cheese layer underneath strategically protects the crispy dough from getting soggy.... They take closer to a half hour to bake, but it's so worth it. Look at the size of these pies. Pepperoni or sausage, thesemonsters serve a person per slice. Best part is they freeze perfectly and the leftovers can be warmed in a skillet or oven forrestaurant-level crisp. I've even ordered a whole pie to go on my bus stop through Chicago, took top priority. This has been mygold standard for thick ones. Read more
