Lou Malnati's Pizzeria Chicago Reviews
Mikes hot honey deep dish pizza was amazing.
Loved that added spice and the cheesy crunchy crust. Small is perfect for 2 people.
Very good pizza along with all thier other food items!
Lou’s traditional pizza’s are all really good. The Lou deep dish we ordered was delicious and we loved it! The butter crust was really flavorful and rustic. The fresh ripe tomatoes on top really added a nice touch. Where I was really disappointe
Absolutely loved this spot.
Of course u know it's basic but we had grief another deep dish place that I won't name last time that was not NG f worries, and this blew it out of the water! It was actually deep dish, the cheese was perfectly hot and delicious and the sau
Best Chicago pizza I've ever had.
We ordered in line right after the marathon and it was perfect timing for when we got seated. Server was kind. Dovetail lager wasn't my fav but we tried new things.
11/10 love this place
The Pizza is amazing and definitely coming back and dont forget about the amazing, comfortable and friendly atmosphere.
I took an uber here from my hotel just to bring back pizza
I took an uber here from my hotel just to bring back pizza from Lou Malnati's to California!!!!! The one mistake I made was not calculating traffic here in Chicago!!! It took between 45-1 hr each way due to traffic!!! Anyway, my server was great

This location is busy so highly recommend reservations to minimize your wait time. I appreciated being able to preorder our pizzas while we waited. Both hosts and wait staff provided excellent customer service. The salad and dessert were excellent bu
When in Chicago, deep dish is a must.
.. Am I right or am I right?! I visited Lou Malnati's on the Friday night before the Chicago Marathon along with what felt like half the city's fellow carbloading runners. The place was buzzing, full of excitement and pre-race energy. I app

My boyfriend and I just arrived to Chicago and were hungry after the flight. We checked on maps after arriving to our hotel to see which food spot was walkable and saw that Lou Malnati's Pizzeria was. We were a bit sad because we saw something o
The pizza tasted great.
The wait and high price for what you get is disappointing. I went with friends on a Saturday night so a less busy lunch would probably be better
SERVICE I'm very disappointed with this South loop
SERVICE I'm very disappointed with this South loop location. I ordered 3 pizzas and 2 salads from this location and 1 salad was missing many items.. I didn't notice anything until I was home that evening. I called the restaurant back and s
Great Chicago deep dish pizza
Great evening with delicious deep dish pizza. Outstanding service from Elayne who was super friendly, knowledgable and ensured we had a great time!
Who makes the best pizza?
I'm back in Sweet Home Chicago after a long and exhausting but thoroughly enjoyable visit to Los Angeles, my first visit to Tinsel Town since 1971. I'm hungry and trying to decide what to eat and where to eat it. Pizza or ribs or Italian be
Good
Gets very busy, first time we got a table right away, 2nd time we had to wait 45 minutes for a table. Got the penne pasta with meatballs, huge portion would do 3 meals. Tasted very good. Its busy so can be noisy. You have to wat around 45 minutes
Try the dish pizza and the meat ball! They are delicious.
A little pricey for their addition toppings like $3 for onion, basil etc. Next time I will bring chopped basil and according to their portion you be set for a total value of $16. Service was great and fast. Ambience was ok due to loudness but overall
What a great first restaurant on our trip to Chicago! My
What a great first restaurant on our trip to Chicago! My boyfriend and I visited some friends and they recommended we all try this restaurant for some good deep dish pizza. The restaurant was packed the evening we went but it was still an organized
I went to this location as well for the personal pan pizza.
It takes 40 minutes but it's well worth the wait! Lou Malnati's is my favorite Chicago style pizza and you will see why.
Mozzarella bites to die for!
When visiting Chicago you have to try deep dish and this was right by our hotel. The atmosphere is chilled although busy, they have tv's in the dining area playing the latest sports games. The service was good and quick. The deep dish wasn'
We first went to the shop nearest to the river but the wait
We first went to the shop nearest to the river but the wait was over 1 hour long, so we walked 10 minutes to this shop where we were able to be seated immediately. We ordered the Malnoti Salad which was delicious. Then we had 3 pizzas for 7 ladies
It's Lou's.
Always consistent. We took friends that have never had a Chicago Style pizza before. They tried Gino's East and Lou's. We wish we could combine the two. Keep Gino's crust and sauce and everything else from Lou's. But still worth
Food and service are great.
They have changed their loyalty program to in my opinion a disloyalty program. I had 1,900 points and they wiped them all away because is didn't have activity for over 120 days. That is not a loyalty program.

My girlfriends and I are on a gf trip to Chicago and of course we need to try the famous deep dish pizza. I made a reservation online first and when I showed up 15 min earlier than my reservation time, I was able to preorder my pizza while I was wait

This is the food everyone must try when they visit Chicago.
It's traditional, and Lou Malnati's is the place most people recommend if you ask around. My husband and I were seated quickly on a Saturday night and ordered drinks followed by pizza. It was delicious! I got the Lou, which has spinach, to
Gotta try it
We went to the one by the Loop. The location is kinda cool. Down stairs in a basement. The place was decorated nicely. We had to wait about 30 minutes for a table. The place is kinda small for the traffic. So Yea, what's the big deal with Chicag
I Don't Get it.
Simple taste, cheesy Chicago Classic. Problem for me is the crust was hard, it was difficult to cut with the butter knife they give you. Purchased sampler platter for starter that was nice. We went at opening, by the time we finished it was an 1.5 hr
Overrated good salad
Many people recommended this place. Appetizers and salad were great but pizza… average. Sauce good but cheese was poor: not really tasty and texture was way below average. Sadly dissapointing.
Delicious
My husband and I ordered the small Chicago Pizza and it fed both of us. It was delicious and filling. We ordered the signature pizza, had great flavor and loved the "Chicago" crust. Our server answered our questions was friendly.
Bad pizza experience!
Just got screwed over by this pizza place! Would never recommend thrm. We ordered a medium pizza and they delivered a small something and basically said we were out of luck! Won’t recommend them!
Deep dish in Chicago
Restaurant is VERY busy. We checked in and were told a one hour wait. It was also recommended that we pre-order our meal as each pizza takes an additional 30-40 minutes to cook if you order once you are seated. We opted to order once we were seate
Best of Chicago
Great place for the best deep dish in Chicago. We went on Friday and Monday.They have Happy Hour between 3-530 Monday through Friday. 5 dollar deep dish , apps and Italian margaritas. We loved it so much on Friday, we went back on Monday.

It must be the tomatoes
If you're a lifelong Chicagoan, like me, you have to be a connoisseur of pizza. Thin crust or deep dish? I prefer thin crust. And, of course, everyone has their favorite pizza parlor. Nearly every Top 10 list includes Pat's and Pequod'

AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Lou Malnati's Pizzeria Chicago. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Lou Malnati's Pizzeria Chicago at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Lou Malnati's Pizzeria Chicago page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FamousStation67, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FamousStation67 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FamousStation67 for any questions Peter may have as FamousStation67 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FamousStation67 now uses their connections at Lou Malnati's Pizzeria Chicago to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FamousStation67 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FamousStation67 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FamousStation67's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Lou Malnati's Pizzeria Chicago!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
