About Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria
Considered the oldest family name in Chicago pizza, Lou Malnati’s is as rich in history as its pizza is in flavor.
Lou Malnati got his start in the 1940’s working in Chicago’s first deep dish pizzeria. He took his pizza expertise to Lincolnwood, a northern suburb of Chicago, where he and his wife Jean opened the first Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria on March 17, 1971. Lou was known for his fun-loving character as well as making Chicago’s best pizza. Loyal patrons lined the streets on opening day for a taste of his delicious deep dish creations. Lou always thought it was funny that an Italian should open a pizzeria in a Jewish neighborhood on an Irish holiday.

I have tried Lou Malnati’s from other locations in the past and has been great so I figured I would try the one in Joliet. Overall atmosphere and service is what you would expect. The pizza was good, a bit pricey, but good, toppings were fresh and cheese was plenty, the signature butter crust on this occasion did not seem up to par, rather soggy and not as crispy as I remembered. Still very good pizza and would recommend trying this location and make your own opinion.

I have been a regular customer at this location for a long time and tonight I made the decision that I will never come back after how I was treated by the manager. I ordered through the app and there was an obvious glitch and my order was wrong. The manager told me there was nothing she can do and I wñulg have to eat a pizza type I don’t eat. I was told to reorder and “deal with your mistake”. So I Tried the “mistake” pizza and it was drier than dirt and disgusting. When I went in to request a refund the manger came out yelling and was very rude saying she will not give me a refund. When asked if they don’t do refunds she stated, “not for you”. When I told her I was recording and to repeat what she just said she walked to the back and said she was done talking to me and to leave. So I left. If you like bad attitudes, poor customer service with a side of dry pizza this place is for you.

OMG my pizza was perfect- recommend “well done (add5mins.)” all the ingredients were plentiful as well as the sauce. Crust was perfect. My delivery driver brought me a nice hot pie and was so nice and friendly. Get Some!

The service was outstanding!! This is a carry out only place. I love Lou’s salad. I think they use some type of sorcery in the dressing. I try to remember to get it without the ham. It’s super crunchy like bacon

Lou’s is a solid Chicago style pizza. Unique in its flavor with a tart tomato sauce and high quality sausage. Their signature sweet vinaigrette salad is the perfect combination
