Lovely server and manager but our pizza was delivered to the wrong table. It’s 30 minutes for a pizza here so keep on top of your servers! Manager comped our order but there were only four tables outside and one was having dessert. How could they get it wrong? Frustrating. Yummy pizza but there was way too much cheese and it got rock solid after we each had a couple slices. Great Cubs paraphernalia inside!
In town on business. Found Lou Malnattis on Google and read a few of the reviews. I'm staying at a hotel nearby so I went there and ordered a pepperoni person pizza to go. Waitress said it wound be about 30 minutes. Came out on time and correct. Gave me plastic silverware and napkins for the road. Good pizza. Not outstanding. I'd go back. Wish I would have ordered a small rather than a personal. Not as "deep" dish as I was expecting.
Horribly slow service, our pizza seems to have sat for 20+ minutes after leaving the oven, took food nearly an hour to be served, my Caesar salad dressing was beyond bland, no beers on tap, no microbrewery beer, only a handful of wine choices. DO NOT EAT HERE.
Lou Malnatis has definitely gone downhill but it's still one of my personal favorite deep dish pizza spots. The top of the crust is still superb and you get fairly good value for your money. however they don't add as much tomato sauce as they used to, the reason everyone loved this place was because of the nice pile of sauce right on top of everything, hopefully they bring that back?
This was a disappointing deep dish pizza experience. Bland pizza. Also, Caesar salad had handful of inedible lettuce. With rising costs, they should really try better.
