Came into town for a few weeks. Waiting for my hotel room to be ready. Popped in got a buffalo pizza no onion sub garlic which in theory should be a equitable swap out…. nope charged $2.70 for said garlic.
Server was great. Tasted great. Will likely be back since it’s within walking distance from the hotel and sometimes you just don’t wanna drive anywhere…

I usually read bad reviews first of a place I decide to visit. Not to lower my expectations, but to become aware of a potential issue to look out for.
I was staying at a hotel nearby, curious about Chicago Deep Dish Pizza, and Malnati’s had decent reviews.
First impression from outside was good. Call me a sucker for basic architecture, this place has some style. Inside is modern and warm. I sat at the empty bar and waited a few minutes to be noticed. The bartender was very personable and took care of my order.
I went for the signature “Chicago Deep Dish”, personal size.
I overheard another patron ask “How long does pizza take?”, answered with “About 30 minutes.” My wait expectation was set.
About 30 minutes layer, my pie was served.
All I can say is, they checked all the boxes perfectly. The first thing I noticed was the aroma of the sausage and crust. Each component, Sausage, Cheese, Sauce, and Crust were on point. My pizza expectation was exceeded. That was my experience tonight as a visitor just pasding through. Good enough to go out of my way to try this again when catching a flight out of Midway.

We were in town visiting friends and picked up pizza, wings, and cheese bread to bring home. We got a deep dish pizza with pepperoni, sausage, and green pepper with spinach in the sauce and a butter crust. We all enjoyed it, and the deep dish first-timers in the group were all happy.
Our local friends advised us to get the pizza well done so the crust wouldn’t get too soggy by the time it made it home (15min) and that was good advice. There was still some crunch in the crust. Would eat again and would recommend!

Should have gone to a different location…but this one was closet to the airport. It was okay. Didn’t know what to expect. Typical tourist…tried the deep dish. Very soggy from toppings. But it was good. Taven style is the Chicago way to go (found out too late). Maybe next time. Salad was amazing! Will definitely try again!

Lou’s is excellent! Chicago deep dish at its best. Service was great too.
Keep in mind this pizza takes 30-40 min to cook so it’s not a quick meal.

The food was overall ok, we did send the
Pizza back to be cooked just a little more but it came back out burnt as shown in the pictures. The best thing was our server!
management came back to the table and made it right and addressed the pizza being burnt. That was very much appreciated.

The majority of the staff was excellent, very pleasant, friendly, and seemed genuinely happy to be there. Unfortunately, I seemed to get the one server who was not. He appeared to be resentful about receiving a solo diner. When I asked him about what cider was on the menu, he told me that it was angry orchard, which wasn’t on the menu. It only showed Vander Mill Cider, seasonal variations. When I pointed this out and asked what kind, he replied that yes, they had cider. I stared at him and then he asked me if I’d like him to go check and see what kind they had. I told him yes.
Upon his return, he advised that it was their standard hard apple. I then asked him how the gluten-free pizza was. He hadn’t had it, but said that people seemed to like it and ordered it. So I ordered a water, the hard cider, and a thin crust gluten free pizza with pepperoni and sausage. He returned with my water, dropped it off, and left without a word. The bartender (or another server), who was very sweet, brought me my cider. The cider was very pleasantly dry and not terribly sweet.
After about half an hour, another sweet lady brought me an AMAZING pizza. It was absolutely incredible, loaded with toppings, and cooked to perfection, leaving the crust crisp and not undergone. I was surprised that it was cut into squares, but that made no difference to me. Side note… the cider was a PERFECT match for pizza.
At about 2 squares in, a HUGE party was seated next to me for my server. It became very noisy and he didn’t return until I was halfway thru my meal. He… expressed surprise that I had my food??
I finished my pizza and waited a VERY long time for my check. It was long enough that the table busser came and collected the dishes from my table. When the server returned, I told him that I’d like my check. He brought out a credit machine, told me my total and held out his hand for my card. I had to ask him to SHOW ME my bill!? I then paid and left.
Overall? Great restaurant and food, but the experience was less than stellar. I’ll definitely return, but that particular server (James G from my check) won’t be waiting on me again.

We came here from Texas, but born and raised in Chicago. The food was great. We ordered the lemon pepper wings and half cheese and half sausage pizza. I gave this place a 3 because I attempted to purchase a glass of wine and was told that my brand was out of stock. I decided to order another and was told they don’t have the drink at all lol. I ended up just drinking water.
Another reason is because upon our arrival, the waitress had a huge party and they sat us in her section. Needless to say we never met her and another waiter that happened to pass by noticed that we had been sitting there a while. I’m not sure if we came on a bad day, but we won’t be back. The food was great though!

The service was great, fast and easy but the food was not good at all. The pasta had a weird taste and chicken in it didn’t taste good at all. The lemon pepper wings were pretty good though. As far as pizza the crust was so unbelievably thin and oily. Was not worth it

I dont know what went wrong with this one but the sauce was very watery and the tomatoes were very undercooked. The tomatoes almost had the texture of diced tomatoes straight out of the can. Puddles of water, zoom in you can see.
