    A Perfect Evening for Our Party of Ten We recently visited Lou Malnati’s for a family gathering of 10, and it was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome, accommodating our larger group with ease and efficiency. The service was impeccable. Our server was attentive, friendly, and always a step ahead, ensuring glasses were never empty and dishes arrived promptly. Managing a group of this size can be tricky, but the staff handled it seamlessly. Now, on to the food—simply delicious! Every dish was a hit across the table. From the appetizers to the desserts, the flavors were fresh and vibrant. The pizza was a standout, while the Lou Malnati’s salad left everyone raving. Even the kids in our group enjoyed their meals, which were thoughtfully tailored to their tastes. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it the perfect setting for our gathering. The spacious seating allowed everyone to converse comfortably, and the atmosphere struck just the right balance between lively and intimate. Overall, Lou Malnati’s exceeded our expectations. If you’re planning a group outing or a family dinner, this place is a must-visit. We can’t wait to return!

    Searched it out for the gluten free deep dish. Was so excited. Server seemed indifferent at best to be waiting on us. While it was exciting to be able to enjoy a deep dish pizza that was gluten free, the crust was tasteless. The toppings were tasty. The place is very cool. With tip, our one pizza with 4 pieces and no drinks was $40. Seemed like a lot and service was “eh”.

    We loved eating here and enjoying Chicago pizza. Our server was friendly and attentive, and the food was great. Next time I want to try the plain cheese pie.

    We made reservation for Saturday Nov 9 at 6:45 PM. We arrived at 6:20 and they would not seat us early. You have to be patient because the deep dish pizza takes 45 minutes to cook. Once it came it was delicious. Our Server Koen was great.
