Though I don't have anything to compare it to, as I did not try deep dish anywhere else in Chicago, the deep dish at Lou Malnati's was wonderful. We started off with the cheese sticks while we waited for our pizza, which were good. My husband and I got the small deep dish, which was four pieces, and it was... more

This was a great experience for Chicago style pizza - really tasty pizza and efficient service. It's quite touristy, so be prepared to be shuffled through the restaurant as the pizza more than makes up for it. They're pretty big pizzas so make sure you don't over-order! more

Not too bad, but perhaps my expectations of Chicago deep dish pizza were too high. Not as tasty as I thought. Good calamari, excellent friendly service. more

Excellent pizza; tastes different than other pizza because of the buttermilk crust. I've never been a big fan of the deep dish pizza, but I had to try the "Lou Special". It was excellent. Much less touristy than the other pizza places ... more

It makes a wonderful snack or meal for the next day--they gladly wrap... more

So the first time I went here back in 2003 my friend and I both decided to get a large pizza...per person. Biggest mistake I have ever made. Being from Memphis I am not used to deep dish pizza like this. I made it through 2 slices before calling it quits. We ate the remaininng pizza for lunch over the... more

Wonderful pizza in a relaxing atmosphere. Very good value for the money - had plenty of leftovers. I would definitely eat here again next time I'm in Chicago. more
