Best deep dish pizza I've had in Chicago. Can't go wrong with the "Lou". If there's a long wait , order your pizza ahead of time. That way it won't take as long once you get to your table.
Try "The Lou" pizza here which is a deep-dish pizza richly flavored with a blend of four cheeses , spinach and Roma tomatoes , with subtle hints of garlic and basil . Read more
Appetizer platter is good idea while waiting for your deep dish pizza as it takes a long time to cook and keep in mind what serves 1 actually is enough for two
The best Chicago style pizza-from the flaky buttery crust, delicious house made sausage to the cheese ! Best eaten with Malnati salad and a cold beer on tap . ????????
Great pizza . They have a really good house salad too. I know it’s weird to say but it was delicious. They finely chop all the ingredients so you don’t have to cut any of it. I loved that salad !
One of Chicago's classic pizza joint offering deep dish pizza . I loved the sausage with anchovies on the side. Tasty. Good service , great value and beverages a must.
If you want deep dish this is the place to go, get sausage if it's your 1st time. House salad is also good.
We did a Chicago pizza tour and out of the 2 deep dish pizza places we tried, Lou's was my favourite, the sauce was amazing.
Keep it simple at Lou's. Get a deep dish , make it a butter crust , save room for the deep dish chocolate chip cookie dessert...with ice cream ...with whipped cream ...and a cherry !
My first ever Chicago Style Pizza ! Delicious!! I have nothing to compare it to since it's my first time having it but WOW! Great atmosphere...friendly staff ...and that PIZZA !
A Chicago Classic: Get a deep dish pizza , make it a butter crust , but save room for the deep dish chocolate chip cookie dessert...with ice cream ...with whipped cream ...and a cherry !
Great pizza and awesome location! The dining/bar space is very accommodating for the high demand. Preordering your pizza is a great option if you have to wait for a table! Try the Lou's salad !
This place is one of the busiest restaurants in this neighborhood of eateries . Service is always attentive. I’m here at least once each month — since they opened.l
Heard it was the best “commercial” deep dish and it def lives up to the hype! Received advice to order pizza well done! Very good advice!
Christmasy and delicious pizza . Favorite of the deep dish trifecta (gino’s, giordanos ).
The Malnati Chicago Classic combines a buttercrust with their awesome well-seasoned homemade sausage . It's one of the best deep dish pizzas known to man.
Forget going to Giordanos . This place has great service plus a great pie ! The place was full but not touristy . Spinach and cheese was flavored with garlic & seasoning:-) will definitely return!!!!
Deep Dish !! And I'm not a fan, but here? The buttery crust is light and flavorful, awesome!
Get the classic - make sure to get the butter crust . Not too much crust or cheese !
So we had to try out the deep dish and we’ve decided to go for a pizza at Lou’s very nice pizza the service was a little bit slow
The Lou deserves the fame. But the spinach salad was fantastic as well . And the surprise dessert was delicious. :) do try it out :)
Deep dish was awesome! Order less than what you think. Hardy pizza for sure.
The classic Chicago deep dish pizza . I come to Lou’s every time in in Chicago. Like LITERALLY every time!
The best gluten free pizza you will ever eat in your entire life.
As a lifelong New York pizza loyalist, this pizza was incredible. Flavor packed ingredients and a most fulfilling pizza experience!
Awesome! Best in Chicago! Get deep dish AND thin crust ! Both great in their own ways. In town from NYC and this was excellent! The couch seat tables were super comfy !
Great "deep dish pizza "; can't go wrong with the "Lou". Bruschettas are a great start. Get a beer to wash it down. Nice atmosphere, family friendly . Great location.
Definitely the nicest, newest of all the Lou's. Get the deep dish pizza , obviously. Wash it down with a Revolution IPA . Then take a nap.
The bbq chicken is surprisingly really good, like u actually want to ask for more good. Of course pizza is good too
I always sit at the bar . Bartenders here are the best in the city (George, Andrew, Nick, Darren, Roberto, Eric, Hillary, Steven...and Mgr Pete) - they are all f$king AWESOME.
One of the best places for Chicago style pizza . They have a personal size that's perfect for the individual diner .
Nice place. Family friendly . It is not tourist packed. But tourists are welcomed. Chicago style pizzas are very good. You might try Chicago classic. Lasagna is also tasty.
We went original and were not disappointed. Plain deep dish with cheese . They accommodated our large group (12) as well .
I'm at Lou's right now... The wings are fenomenal, the special pizza its very good, but the waitress bring me the check without ask for it implying me to leave quickly.
Fast all day before you go. Amazing!
Delicious! Get the Lou's pie! However, if you call in and they say no wait, expect a wait of about half an hour
The Deep Dish pizza is the best in the city . I recommend the Sausage Deep Dish and the Pepperoni Deep Dish pizza .
Really good wings & bruschetta . I know it's a pizza place but while you're waiting for your deep dish pie, order these appetizers . You won't be disappointed.
The Malnati Chicago Classic . Do it. (Maybe order a salad on the side so you can feel better about devouring the entire meaty, cheesy pie...)
Autumn is the best waitress ever! She recommended the buffalo chix watermelon salad & the Classic pizza . Sooo good! Get the green line pale ale !
Very new place for malnati. Good pizza as always and the venue is well furnished and big enough. Good job! Calamari as appetizer are very tasty!!
Always have to have the "Lou" (spinach , mushrooms , sliced tomatoes , mozzarella , romano , cheddar ) so haven't tried any other pizza but I'm sure they're all good.
Truly the best venue out of all the Lou's locations. As always, the pan pizza is amazing!!!
The Lou has a spinach mix that makes for the PERFECT vegetarian deep dish pizza . Also, Matilda on tap .
Best Chicago-style pizza . Nice interior, nice place to watch a game. And the staff is top of the crop: Kevin, Eric and Ashley are the bomb!
Had the classic lou pizza . It was pretty darn good. Very cheesy.
Get the Lou with sausage . Crust is like a buttery croissant
The personal sized butter crust deep dish pizza is perfect for the loan traveller
The perfect meal after seeing the #ChicagoZooLights! #LouMalnatis has the best #ChicagoPizza
Friendly customer service and Chicago's favorite deep dish ! ????
