Some noted
I recently ordered some pizzas for a bar atmosphere and setting , accommodating15 people.
Order a pizza expecting it to be delivered in an hour totally understand but after an hour and a half I receiving a text message that the pizza is gonna be delivered the delivery person delivered to the wrong address.
I understand that occasional service lapses can occur, but the combination of inattentive service, missing amenities, and the cold pizza created a profoundly disappointing evening.

“The food was very good and enjoyable to eat.”
The food was very good and enjoyable to eat. Our server Andrea was very pleasant and helpful. She was very patience with our large group of fifteen, ensuring that each order was accurate. Even to the point of ensuring that my wife and daughter food was correct due to their food allergies. We all were very pleased with the restaurant, the food and the exceptional service.

“The spot for Chicago deep dish pizza.”
The spot for Chicago deep dish pizza! Had two personal sizes split between me and someone else. We had the sausage one and one with tomato slices on top with cheese. It was happy hour so we took advantage of the $5 drinks! Everything was very yummy!

“What can I say as a girly that love her Detroit style deep dish pizza but this pizza has blew my mind.”
What can I say as a girly that love her Detroit style deep dish pizza but this pizza has blew my mind. Let’s just say foodgasm for both me and my British husband. The cheese was like a loving river of mom’s hugs. The sauce was sweet and tangy all at once. The sausage made it with juicy pops of amazingness. Will definitely be back and whomever served us you rock sir. Wish I could have tipped you more than 20%.

“We were visiting Chicago and had to try Lou's.”
We were visiting Chicago and had to try Lou's. Absolutely amazing. I'm GF and he tries to do keto & the options didn't disappoint! He had the sausage crust. Thin, speciality sausage piled with cheese and toppings. There were multiple gf options and I went for the deep boy. Excellent. The sauce was sweet but the acidic tomatoes balanced it. The cheese was stretchy and flavorful. The toppings were fresh and plentiful. Delivery was fast and the food was packed neatly. They do not cut the pie!! Be aware if you're in a hotel, lol. So far, my 2nd favorite chi-style pie. Can't wait until next year!!

“They said it's the 2nd best Deep Dish Pizza in Chicago.”
They said it's the 2nd best Deep Dish Pizza in Chicago. I'd say differently. We've been to the place and 2 different locations and oh so damn good!! I took home the frozen deep dish pizza separately after our dinner. It's gonna come to Canada now.

Holy wow! Great pizza and I had the gluten free crust… I was so excited to be able to eat deep dish pizza! The Malnati’s salad was one of the best salad’s I have ever had.

The pizza was fantastic—well-made and full of flavor, showcasing their high-quality service. We waited 30 minutes for our order since the dining area had a 2-hour wait, but it was worth it. Great choice for authentic Chicago deep dish!
