By far my favorite place to get Chicago's famous deep dish pizza. It's better than Gino's East and Pizzeria Due and WAY better than Giordano's. I cannot get enough of the butter crust. Best. Pizza.…

It's been several years since I visited Lou Malnati's, but I grew up on it.. at the Lincolnwood location. Now in Oregon, I have Lou's on the top of my list to visit when in Chicago. Yes, I have tried the...

People say that Lou Malnati's sauce is an acquired taste, well then I have not acquired it and do not wish to. I think it was disgusting. I'm sticking with Chicago's and Giordano's for stuffed pizza.

Pizzeria Uno may have innovated Chicago-style deep dish pizza, but Lou Malnati's perfected it! Lou Malnati's knows what it takes to create authentic deep dish pizza, without staying loyal to their…

Took a trip to this location with some friends from out of town this past weekend, and I must say this is what deep dish is all about. We ordered two mediums (which is a lot of pizza for those not…

Yes, the quality of their ingredients are better than average. Yes, you can have it delivered, frozen, anywhere in the country and when you eat the pizza it remids you of Chicago. The pizza is good, but not...

We really enjoyed our meal here! Yes, there was 35 minute wait on a Monday night (and that was 10 minutes longer than the hostess promised), so that was a bit of a downer, but we had expected as much before...

The deep dish here is a fav. The crust is the best part. It actually has flavor, not like eating a hunk of tasteless hard bread (which I hate). The sauce flavor isn't too strong but has chunky pieces…

I loved the fact that they had "individual" sized portions. For once in my life I could finish an entire pizza all by myself. That felt really good.

Lou Malnati's So I hear LA pizza is crap. NY and Chicago are the places to go. I would concur with NY, now it was time to see about Chicago. I looked at a few places for my trip and settled on Lou…

I eat at Lou's only if I'm in the mood for the deep dish chocolate chip cookie dessert. The pizza just lacks the sauce and taste of the other two places (Gino's and Uno's). Did you know Lou was a cook…

all I can say is 'yum!' - simply the best pizza in the area... great food, not really stroller friendly, but sometimes it gets a little loud, so if your kids are restless, no one will even know... great food...
