Lou Malnati's Pizzeria — solid, no-fuss italian in Little Village. The walls could tell stories. Staff knows what to recommend. William: "The sausage was nice and spicy, the cheese was plentiful and very stringy"

“We went to the location on Ogden in Chicago for a late lunch to avoid any crowds and called ahead about 15 minutes to minimize the wait for our sausage deep dish with butter crust”
First time eating their thin crust pizza. Ordered a cheese and a veggies... Both pizzas were not good, no flavor.
I love Lou Malnatis!!!Customer service is always great. Staff are always polite and friendly.
Mind you this is only for dessert that I picked up didn't eat anything else.

“In town for a short stop and had to come in for a deep dish treat.”
In town for a short stop and had to come in for a deep dish treat. Everything was great as always - the service, the pizza. Much love to the new appetizer though, Malnati's meatballs with giardinera and burrata. 11 out of 10. Treat yourself.

We went to the location on Ogden in Chicago for a late lunch to avoid any crowds and called ahead about 15 minutes to minimize the wait for our sausage deep dish with butter crust. We did wait about 15 minutes for the pizza but the wait was well worth it. The sausage was nice and spicy, the cheese was plentiful and very stringy. The sauce was not to sweet and not to acidic with large tomato chunks. And the crust was nice and crisp. We drove an hour to get this pizza and it was worth the drive. We are from California and travel full-time and this was a very memorable experience. Highly recommend Lou Malneti's on Ogden in Chicago.

I've been feeling very depressed this past month so I decided to indulge in a pizza although I know I shouldn't especially so early in the morning. I did mention it in the notes and I opened my box to a very sweet note that made me feel better this morning Very much appreciated

“I absolutely love this place, everything is a 5/5.”
I absolutely love this place, everything is a 5/5. If I could give it a 10/5 I would! Food was amazing, our waitress Sam was super helpful, and stayed on top of everything to make sure that we had a great time. We will be stopping in every time we come out to Chicago.

“Came here from New Mexico looking for some good deep dish Chicago pizza and that’s just what we got.”
Came here from New Mexico looking for some good deep dish Chicago pizza and that’s just what we got! We started with the Buffalo wings and ate those with ranch and blue cheese dressing. The ranch was the best ranch I’ve ever had. It had a perfect garlic hint. The wings were delicious with these dressings ! We got a deep dish pizza with sausage and pepperoni. The crust was amazing. The pizza was Soo good especially with that ranch. Then we finished with a pan cookie and it was the perfect sweet treat to end a great meal. Felipe our server was wonderful, nice, and gave us great service. We will definitely be back

Loved the meatball sandwich w/fries. Fresh mozzarella, good portion for the fries. Breading was soft Meatballs were huge and full of flavor. Very satisfied. Joreen was friendly. Nice first experience. It was worth the price. Less than 15 min wait.

“I've come to this specific location for 20 years.”
I've come to this specific location for 20 years. "The Lou" is my favorite. The service here is slow, so be patient. The food is very much worth the wait and the staff are so polite. There's community effort and history behind this specific Lou Malnati's, so it's always a pleasure to support it. I look forward to going back again, especially so I can sit on the mosaic bench in front & enjoy the sunset.
