If you’re looking for a great dinner spot in Chicago, this pizza place is definitely worth a visit. It’s a lively place to come with friends or coworkers, especially with all the sports-themed decor around the restaurant.
The deep-dish pizza is excellent. It may look small at first, but it’s very filling and packed with flavor. I tried the bruschetta and The “Lou” pizza, and both were delicious — rich, cheesy, and perfectly baked.
Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Chicago or craving authentic deep-dish pizza.

The appetizer was very good. The ranch sauce is probably one of the best I’ve tested.
The deep dish pizza is good quality. Take into account it takes around 30 minutes to cook, so there is considerable waiting time.
The service was excellent. Everyone was super nice.

Im from Detroit. I Always make it my business to come to Lou Malnatis Pizzeria when I’m in town I enjoy it over the other deep dish pizza places as well because of its a lighter crust and buttery flaky goodness.. it’s normally busy but today wasn’t busy at all. I suggest making reservations.I also ordered the lemon pepper wings this time, so hopefully they don’t disappoint… I have never had a bad experience from this location in particular. Fod is always fresh and hot..Its about a 30min wait to bake pizzas, so your probably gonna be looking at the appetizers, lol. I grabbed a draft beer (Goose Island Neon Beer Hug) is a good choice if you like IPA’s.

Our first experience with Chicago style deep dish pizza.
Friendly staff
Reasonable pricing
Tasty pizza
We tried the classic and were impressed. Very tasty sausage, generous cheese, crispy crust and delicious tomato sauce. Would definitely recommend to a friend.
We shared a small- enough if you’re not starving but think a salad or a side would have been enough to fully fill the tank. Get a medium for 2 people if you want leftovers.
Thanks for having us!

It was my first time having Lou Malnati’s and my server/bartender BIONCA was excellent. 10/10 on her recommendations and service were excellent. Her knowledge and care with her customer’s was outstanding!
I definitely recommend for 1st timers trying deep-dish pizza or local alike she will take care of you.
When you stop in make sure you ask to sit in her section! BIONCA will take care of you!
I will be back next time I am in town…. because not only the food, “The Lou” pizza with Sausage added was exceptional with but the service was awesome!

We had a reservation, and we were so glad we did because the place was buzzing and full of energy. We started with calamari as an appetizer — perfectly crispy and delicious — and then enjoyed a large Chicago-style pizza. The size was great for sharing, and every bite was rich, flavorful, and truly worth the wait. It was a wonderful experience and a great introduction to Chicago-style pizza. We’d definitely go back. ✨

I love Chicago. I have been several times. It is a great City, but I have to admit I did not go to Chicago to get the best deep dish pizza to be had, I ordered it, flash frozen, from a website called Goldbelly. It is the best website for great food and other things. It all comes when promised and it is so frozen. There are clear instructions on what to do with the expensive pizza you just bought. We are hooked.
We are now also hooked on Lou Malnati’s deep dish. It is the best deep dish you will ever have and there is enough to feed 4 people. They are ever so deep filled with the best sauce and cheese and the crust is so good. You just have to try it. It is just perfect.
I called them to thank them for the great pizza and they were so very nice and hope we will come to Chicago soon and I think we will. I have seen photos and the place looks so cute and fun.
Enjoy.

The pizza is always amazing. We had a sausage Chicago-style deep dish and a thin crust pepperoni pizzas (5 stars). As for service, our waiter was the best! Very friendly and professional (5 stars).
However, for the atmosphere (2 stars). The only negative experience was that it was below freezing outside and they sat us by the door even though there were many tables available in the back of the restaurant. It made it for uncomfortably cold dining. My advice is never sit customers by the door of a restaurant when its freezing outside because as other customers come and go, the customers have to endure blasts of freezing cold temperatures. Could have been a one star rating for atmosphere, but we had warm jackets that we had to wear while eating.

Sean is the man. He is a busy bee, hard working bartender, and never skips a beat. His recommandations, people skilled, and patience carried my wonderful evening at Lou Malnatis. His local-knowledge was a wonderful addition to my experience, as a tourist. Mikes hot honey deep dish was awesome too! Would be back for the pie, and great bartender service, in a heart beat. Thanks team!

First time in Chicago and my first time trying real Chicago-style deep dish pizza — recommended by my boyfriend. All I can say is: it was such a great experience and absolutely delicious. The crust was perfectly thick and buttery, the sauce was rich and flavorful, and the cheese was amazing. Definitely something everyone should try at least once when visiting Chicago. So worth it!
