First time visiting Lou Malnati’s after only ordering online before, and it was definitely worth it! The service was helpful and the pizza tasty. Wish I ordered a bigger pizza…

“Had reservations later in the day, got into town early.”
Had reservations later in the day, got into town early. Got seated right away. Best cheese garlic bread around! Also had the personal pan sausage pizza. That was good as well.

“Stopped here from Kansas.”
Stopped here from Kansas! 1st stop of our trip! Food was good (3/5), but the service is really what made it for us. CAMREN was 5/5! He answered any and all questions, we never went thristy, checked on us throughout the meal, and gave us great suggestions for a trip. He is the reason for the 5 stars.

“Several locals told us Lou Malnati’s was the place for deep dish in Chicago, so of course we had to try it.”
Several locals told us Lou Malnati’s was the place for deep dish in Chicago, so of course we had to try it. We ordered two deep dish pizzas and they were rich and flavorful, but I realized deep dish just isn’t my personal favorite style. The salads were fresh but the standout dish — the one I’d absolutely come back for — was the Chicago-style meatballs with burrata and giardiniera. Absolutely incredible! The wait was about 45 minutes, but the lively atmosphere made it fun and part of the overall experience. Great food, friendly service, and a must-try spot for the full Chicago pizza adventure.

“Found to be one of the top pizza spots in Chicago so had to check it out.”
Found to be one of the top pizza spots in Chicago so had to check it out. Only to find it was an hour and half wait so just placed an order which was only 20 minutes for a pick up. When it was time to pick it up I was asked if I wanted my pizza sliced which was odd cause who doesn’t slice their pizza so I had to wait more. But over all the pizza was nice a bit more acidic from the sauce then I’m used to but over all nice

“This place is phenomenal.”
This place is phenomenal! I ate at 5 different pizza places in Chicago this week and Lou's was easily the best! No slices, so you've got to get a whole pie, but it's worth it. It comes out perfect 👌 the meats, the bread, the sauce were all top notch. The restaurant itself is really nice inside, which stood out in a city of casual pizza joints. This a place any deep dish lover has to try.

“While visiting Chicago, it should be considered a sin to not have deep dish pizza.”
While visiting Chicago, it should be considered a sin to not have deep dish pizza. Lou Malnati's is a great place to indulge and get your fill. When we walked in their doors we were greeted with friendliness as we were guided through the restaurant to our table. The walls are adorned with faces and memories from days long passed and the ambiance let us know and feel that we were sitting in history. Our server was very attentive and our pizza was exactly as we'd hoped. It was the perfect ending to our 4 day visit before we headed to the airport to catch our flight home. Would absolutely recommend.
