Our Elk Grove restaurant, located at 1050 E Higgins Rd, was established in 1971 and was the second Lou Malnati’s pizzeria to ever open! The exterior log cabin design pays homage to the village named after the elk that used to roam the forest preserve just down the road in Busse Woods. Lou Malnati’s Elk Grove offers dine-in, carryout, delivery, catering and a semi-private event space to accommodate up to 60 people. Experience Legendary Chicago Deep Dish and thin crust at the place that’s been perfecting it for 50+ years, with family recipes and high-quality ingredients you just don’t find everywhere.

    Despite confirming our reservation, our table for 8 was not prepared for us. A table for 5 arrived after us and was seated before us. We were finally seated and the waitress brought us drinks and did not return. We wanted to order before the rest of our party arrived. I then had to go up front to ask someone to find our waitress to take our order. It still took additional time for the food to arrive. Dessert took a long time to be delivered. The check was brought out quickly however. Yet again I had to go up front with the check and credit card to pay. All in all, not the establishment we remember. Will not return.

    This is one of my favorite Lou’s. The Service is excellent, . The computer has the right amount of tomato sauce, cheese, and toppings, unlike some other others that  smother with cans and cans of tomatoes, making the pizza soggy.

    As someone who lives a few hours from Chicago, I've wanted to try the highly recommended Lou Malnati's for several years. Our party of three ordered a small salad to split and a medium pizza. It was a generous portion of food for us. Both the salad and pizza were fantastic! The buttery pizza crust and rich filllings were delicious. I also ordered a Paloma, which was well-prepared. While we were seated immediately (with a reservation), the place was extremely busy between the holidays and it took a while to place our order and about 45 minutes for the pizza to arrive. We'd definitely like to return to this location--and to visit a location nearer to our home.

    Always a great place to gather our friends when we come to Chicago to visit! Everyone loves the Malnati’s salad and the Classic Lou’s deep dish.
