Amazing! Love the lighter full flavor sauce. I cannot say enough good things about the butter crust !! A must if you are in Chicago!!!

Greatest deep dish pepperoni pizza ever. I still dream about its amazingness to this day (visited 4 months ago). Only problem is it gets crowded and takes a bit of time to get your food. So drink up.

The Malnati Chicago Classic combines an irresistible buttercrust with their awesome well-seasoned homemade sausage . It's one of the best deep dish pizzas known to man.

Great for family style . Come hungry. Remember that deep dish pizza takes longer to cook so order an appetizer if you're hangry.

Lou's is a great place. even the simple house salad was more than i expected...and was a good choice while we waited for our deep dish pizza .

Kevin T

Pizza tastes amazing, of course. They skimped on the bruschetta though, barely any tomato mix on the bread slices

Pizza's not bad. I'm not big on deep dish pizza (ny pizzas are the best!) but the service here is a bit rushed. It's as if they want you to eat fast and leave.

Zach Solomon-Beloin

I love Lou's! This location is extremely small and usually has a wait during dinner . Good pizza !

Tracey Swanson

You can get a half-baked deep dish here that finished baking really nicely in your oven at home.

Get the buttercrust pizza . And if you have time, the skillet cookie is amazing!

Dustin Haley

Second favorite pizza place - you can’t really go wrong here!

Kavitha Sagi

Spinach mix extra all the way! Love the garlic flavor with the cheese and awesome crust!

Lane Pelovsky

Best Pizza in Chicago. Love the Classic butter crust

Joe Checkler

Some people seem to think the sausage on the Malnati classic is too saturated with sausage and they prefer the pepperoni . I am not one of those people, but the chunks certainly are aggressive.

Service was great. Too bad the pizza had no flavor

Pizza is decent. Not as good as downtown location. Chicken sandwich sucked. I give 0.5 out of 10 for sandwich .
