My boyfriend and I were here visiting a friend who took us here. I had the Chicken Louie which is baked chicken alfredo. It was to die for. I love alfredo and I'm really picky about it. This was the best I had ever eaten. My boyfriend had the deep dish pizza that was amazing. more

My wife and I were visiting Chicago and had not yet tried Malnati's pizza. We chose this location to get away from the tourists and found a great place and great pizza. The pizza is the best Chicago deep dish we have had. Generous toppings, lots of cheese, great crust. The service was outstanding, and the dining room, which holds... more

Malnati's pizza is consistently good. It's casual and comfortable. The pizza is great, the spinach salad is good, and the prices are great! more

Best deep dish in town. They use a light, potato-based crust...so it's not soggy. more

One cannot go to Chicago without stopping by Lou's for some pizza. It is by far some of the best deep dish pizza I have ever had. Everything was very fresh and the tomato sauce was unbelieveable. The butter crust is tremendous. I would certainly recommend this to anyone going to Chicago who wants to taste real Chicago style pizza. more

WE LOVE LOU'S! This is truly my husband's favorite restaurant on earth. We were in town June 10-12 for a birthday (my husband) and anniversary celebration, and we ate there for lunch TWICE -- once on the 10th and once on the 12th. Both days we started with the Malnati Salad, which featured Romaine lettuce, diced tomatoes, black olives, sliced... more
