I recently had the pleasure of dining at Lou Malnati's, a Chicago institution known for its deep dish pizza. I ordered both the deep dish classic and the thin crust, and both were excellent, but the thin crust was my favorite.
The deep dish classic is a classic Chicago deep dish pizza, with a buttery crust, a generous layer of cheese, and your choice of toppings. We got ours with sausage and peppers, and it was delicious. The crust was perfectly cooked, and the cheese was gooey and melted.
The thin crust pizza was a surprise hit. I wasn't expecting much from a thin crust pizza at a place known for its deep dish, but I was pleasantly surprised. The crust was crispy and thin, and the toppings were generous and flavorful. Got ours with pepperoni and it was perfect.
Our server, T, was also excellent. She was friendly and attentive, and made sure that we had everything we needed. She knew the menu well and was able to answer all of our questions.
The food was excellent, the service was great, and the atmosphere was fun and casual. I would definitely recommend Lou Malnati's to anyone looking for a great pizza experience.
This was our first time stopping by Lou Manny‘s pizzeria stopped by with my wife shortly before heading to the sold out Chris Tucker concert at the Chicago theater. There was a short weight prior to being seated about five minutes and we were lucky enough to find street parking right in front of the restaurant. Service was great but the real winner here was the thin crust pizza. It was so good very cheesy and delicious. We both gave it two thumbs up.
We also decided to get an order of the chicken wings and these were by far some of the most delicious wings I’ve ever had. The wings alone are worth stopping by the pizza was a great addition will definitely be ordering from here again in the very near future.
The perfect crust, delicious sausage and the gooey cheese in a cozy atmosphere. The classic deep dish.
You think it looks good in the picture? I guarantee they will surpass your expectations.
You may also want to try the boneless wings with bbq sauce while waiting for your main. They say the smell is so good that no one can resist the urge to try even for the snap of a picture!
Good place but one minus - they did not warn you about calories, volume and fat content of dishes. This pizza was too bid for our family and we even could not finish one pieces each. It was too fat for us. That was just for experience with famous type of Chicago pizza.
In opposite to pizza the plate with salad and appetizer was pretty tasty )
I liked the Giordano's deep dish more than this one. The crust was a bit more crunchy and the stuffing seemed smaller so it felt less 'deep dish' like.
Price however was similar-ish for both of these places.
We got an instant reservation here v/s about 30 mins of wait time at Giordano's which was nice!
The place had limited seating space but the vibe was decent. Family friendly!
Cozy place to eat with a welcoming and friendly staff. Ordered the bruschetta and a personal pizza, which they tell you takes 30-40 minutes to make. The bruschetta was probably the best I've ever had!! The deep dish tasted pretty good, the sauce tasted great and had the perfect amount of cheese. My only complaint was that the crust was a little bland but it was nice and crispy.
First time in Chicago and very first meal at this legendary eatery! Have heard about Lou Malnati's for years and have watched countless people eat this iconic deep dish pizza on the internet and finally had a chance to do it ourselves and it did not disappoint! The legendary pizza lived up to all of the expectations! It was rich, SUBSTANTIAL amounts of sausage and cheese and very flavorful sauce with chunks of tomatoes with a crispy crust! The decor was filled with sports memorabilia and the staff were very friendly and attentive! Overall, a fabulous dining experience and a perfect start to our Chicago vacation!
Considering the four of us had a large appetizer of wings which were also outstanding and beverages including their DaVinci chianti, the bill came out to a very reasonable amount around $20 per person and we left absolutely stuffed! Great value for the money as well. We were very pleased with the entire experience.
Top notch pizza. Does not disappoint. We had 3 pizzas for a party of 10 and we had leftovers. We loved the Lou’s pizza, sausage/pepperoni, and another recommendation from the waiter. Tasty salad as an appetizer. Lots of room to accommodate for big parties. Would recommend to anyone who loves a good pizza.
Bustling pizza joint. Felt like one of the locals. First ever deep dish and it did not disappoint. Wait staff was excellent, quick and attentive. We each had a salad, sangria and shared a small pizza and it was more than enough food! Definitely recommend.
10/10 food. Tastes very fresh and the different flavors of the ingredients mesh together perfectly. Not too salty and heavy either so you don’t leave with a heavy breath. Gr8 pizza. Top tier in taste as well as texture, just soft enough to bite into the cheese, toppings, and crust all at once but not too fragile where all the toppings fall off and the pizza falls apart.
Service was a bit disorganized with miscommunications. But nice attitude from staff + wonderful food more than made up for it. Atmosphere was good too.
Pizza was just ok. Wish there was less cheese more sauce. The crust is really good though. We’re thinking Chicago style pizza might just not be our thing.
Service was great tho!
Great Chicago pizza! Nice location with an outdoor eating area. Service was really good and the food was even better. 1st restaurant while we were in Chicago and it was perfect! Good prices, we were seated quickly. Nice fir the entire family. Close to many other places in downtown Chicago

My first meal in Chicago during my vacation this year was Lou's. Being a Pizza lover, this was the place I was told to go. I am east coast, I like to fold. Fork and knife? No! - So I walked to Lou's on, being only 2 blocks away. I came at the right time, it was right before the crowd, so I got a seat right away. I ordered a small original and a water. The waiter was very nice, explained to me it would take about 30 minutes, which I already knew. He had a great Italian accent. I cant remember his name though, I always ask for names. But on vacation, you see so many faces and names. His service was great. I love how they cut and serve the pizza for you, they have great pride in their product they sell. And you get the cheese pull experience. While I ate this masterpiece of a pizza, I watched the waiters serve others. I gotta say, Lou's is really good! I've had a couple competitors, and I would say Lou's easily wins with their butter crust. Amazing! And it holds up to where you do not need fork and knife. The topping are good as well, the sauce was very yummy. I do prefer Giordano's toppings though but not a fan of G's crust. Therefore, I Do put Lou's as #1. For deep dish.
Lou Malnati’s pizza is absolutely delicious! This Chicago deep dish pizza is incredible! The service was amazing, and our waitress was super high energy and friendly. If you come here, be prepared to wait. It was very busy, and the pizza does take around 30 minutes to cook, but it was definitely worth the wait. We got the combination platter, which came with mozzarella sticks, cheddar cubes, and breaded mushrooms and zucchini and the wings for appetizers. Both were very good, and the apps were all wonderfully crispy. Of course, the main attraction was the deep dish pizza. We got a large cheese, which came with 8 massive slices. We even had to take some leftovers. It was super cheesy, the sauce was tangy and sweet, and the crust was delicious. Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria is sure to be an amazing taste of the classic Chicago deep dish!
I got the Lou deep dish pizza and the server told me to add Pepperoni, and its insanely good! I cannot recommend that pizza enough! Personal size is the right amount for 1 person whos hungry, and can be completely full off of!
My go to place for deep dish pizza when in Chicago. The food never disappoints. The perfect combination of delicious sauce and cheese and the crispy crust make a perfect pizza for any pizza lover.
