Man this place was awesome!! I love deep dish pizza and this place does phenomenal deep dish at personal pizza sizes which I really appreciate. Definitely try the butter crust when you're here. It's decadent! And the fried mozzarella was a perfect appetizer

First time trying Chicago deep pan pizza, and they did not disappoint. We ordered several varieties along with a family size Caesar salad. I ordered a small pizza and was only able to eat half, a personal with the salad would have been enough. However, it tasted just as good the following day.

The pizza is the star of the show, and it did not disappoint but their sandwiches are next-level amazing. Italian Beef Sandwich was tender, juicy beef piled high and smothered in melted mozzarella. Every bite was flavorful, messy in the best possible way, and packed with that signature Chicago taste.

Wow what an amazing experience all around. I lived in Chicago from 2017-2020 and Lou’s is my fav and was a must stop while visiting Chicago for a hockey tournament. Everything about this location was beyond awesome. Susan our waitress so sweet and delivered a premium experience. The new pesto margarita pie was to die for an a must try! Everything was delightful and we are definitely going to stop by again before we fly out! Definitely a must when in the area and by far my best experience in all of the Lou’s I’ve visited throughout the city! Again I have to say SUSAN YOU ARE A TRUE GEM THANK YOU FOR MAKING OUR EXPERIENCE SO GREAT 🍕

I really felt I got a true Chicago deep dish pizza experience. It was so freaking goooood!! Got the Mike’s Hot Honey signature pizza. Crust was so perfectly crunchy. Fully cooked, gooey and cheesy. My Goodness!

I recently visited this fantastic pizza place, and I have to say, it truly delivered an authentic Chicago-style experience! The pizza was delicious, with a perfect crust and rich, flavorful toppings that made every bite memorable. Our server/Lisa was exceptional—patient, kind, and attentive, ensuring that our dining experience was top-notch. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for genuine Chicago-style pizza. You won't be disappointed!

I always order the Lou and add sausage. I prefer the thin crust, and I ask them to cut the pizza. What I love about the thin crust is that you still get that rich, buttery flavor, but you can eat more pizza and enjoy more toppings. A thick, heavy crust fills me up far too quickly. With the thin crust, I get all the same flavor while being able to eat as much pizza as possible—which is always the goal. This is my favorite pizza of all time, and whenever I get the chance to have it, I eat as much as I can. The ingredients are always incredibly fresh, and every bite tastes like pizza perfected. Nothing else even comes close—not even pizza in Italy.

The deep dish pizza was excellent—rich, flavorful, and cooked perfectly with a great crust. The calamari really stood out too, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, some of the best we’ve had. The salad tasted fresh and well-prepared, which was a nice balance to the heavier dishes. On top of that, the service was fast, attentive, and genuinely friendly, making the whole experience even better. Definitely a spot we’d come back to.

Great food and great service. We were here early for lunch. We were able to get a table right away. We ordered Malnati’s Chicago Classic. The pizza was great as always. The calamari was very tasty as well. We waitress was very nice. She kept on refilling our drinks. We love Lou Malnati’s. We will definitely come back again.
