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.
Family-owned local chain for Italian classics & Chicago-style, deep-dish pizzas with buttery crusts. Based on 641 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.5 stars. Price $$

I used curbside service. I had ordered thin crust pizza and house salad. Always delicious. Staff that do curbside service as well as those inside are always very courteous and respectful.

GREAT service! Lou’s made a mistake on my order, though after discussing it, I actually had a role of making the mistake. Yet regardless, they gave me a credit for a full pizza. Always so delicious pizza. I recommend coming to this location.

I called right before closing & Rob took such great care of me. My husband let me pick whatever I wanted to eat for Mother’s Day & I was craving the Lou Malnatus salad . Rob had everything ready for me to be quick in and out. He shared that it was a super busy day for Mothers Day. These are the kind of workers that are needed even after an extremely long & busy day he still had a smile on his face. His energy was as full as if I was his first customer. Appreciate it Rob. Can’t wait to enjoy my salad 🙂

COVID safe. Ordered online for curb side pickup. Ordering was really easy. Food was ready when promised. Pizza is classic Chicago style deep dish, very cheesy and chunky sauce. Pizzas were very good. Also ordered buffalo wings. The buffalo wings were some of the better ones that I have had. A bit crispy and not oversauced. The ranch was very creamy and fresh.

Picture of half the pizza because, well, we devoured the other half. We ordered a sausage and mushroom deep dish and all I have to say is WOW. This location has definitely exceeded my expectations for a Lou’s pizza. The staff member was super friendly during my drive up order, the staff actually followed instructions when I marked easy sausage and leave pizza uncut, and the pizza itself was phenomenal! Will definitely be returning time and time again.

Second week.. Not what ordered. Wrong toppings again. Food is great, phone orders suck. Have them read back what you ordered; wait I did that. Enough said, check food if yo can when they arrive.

I have celiac and I wasn’t sure I would get to try a Chicago style deep dish pizza but Lou’s delivered! Overall it was very good and the crust was dense but held up unlike other GF crusts. I would definitely eat here again
