I had their classic deep dish pizza with added pepperoni, and it was perfectly cooked, rich, hearty, and incredibly satisfying

Lou Malnati's Pizzeria — italian in Streeterville worth a stop for the Pizza. The room fills up fast and stays lively. The kind of cooking that doesn't need to explain itself. Ashley Wilbers: "And the best part is that they had a gluten free pizza" [$$]

Les pizzes més gruixudes que he menjat mai! I no pas de pa, sinó de farciment. Fetes com si fossin quixe.

Completely recommend their Chicago style pizza and their appetizers. It is probably already a Chicago classic but it definitely deserves the spot! Servers were amazing!

Nice place. A lot of locals recommended this place as the place to try my first chicago deep dish pizza. It was good! Loved the crust and how the tomato sauce had chunks of tomatoes in it. Wouldn't say its my favorite style of pizza, but I'm glad I was able to try the deep dish pizza in Chicago. Lovely staff and cute place to dine at.

Its nice, the wait is 40 min plus another 40 min for food. The wait may not justify the food but it's good pizza. Make reservations and/or pick everything you're going to eat. We just ordered pizza.

Pizza was yummy but deep dish. They have a separate bar area. Very busy place so try to get a reservation or be prepared for a wait. Very large business with seating and lots of other locations - this one was by the waterfront on Michigan Ave.
