"As I m new to Chicago, my friend suggested me to taste this pizza.<br/ <br/ As a food blogger, I m pretty excited to taste a food and it was amazing.<br/ <br/ We had-<br/ <br/ Deep dish pizza- Crust was buttery and crispy. Lucky that I have tasted first deep dish pizza at this place.<br/ <br/ Three later cheese bread- it was just like a garlic bread but cheese was wonderfully baked.<br/ <br/ Chicken wings- they were saucy and cooked perfectly.<br/ <br/ Chicken white pasta- This was a disappointing. It's not at all good. Seasoning was not good.<br/ <br/ Overall great experience here."

"Had dinner there tonight with my family at 6pm, all 9 of us. The food was outstanding! The atmosphere is like a family gathering, excellent. The service was fantastic, the waitress made us feel as if we were her only customers, and she was so patient with the kids. Overall a great dining experience. My meal in particular, was the best Baked Penne that I've had in 20 years since my grandmother passed away. We are only in town for a week, but we are going back before we leave."

"On Valentine's Day, they were ridiculously packed, but our server was very attentive and kept checking in on us. The food was amazing as always. We're regulars here, but the fact that the quality didn't suffer from such a packed day prompted me to write this review. Incredible place. Definitely be sure to get a reservation. I overheard the staff telling people that the wait for a table was 2 hours. We, on the other hand, had a reservation and were seated immediately. Definitely get a reservation. These wait times can happen even on busy Saturdays, not just holidays."

"I ordered a large thick crust pizza and it was absolutely fantastic! It was exactly what we were craving! The crust was so substantial that my friend and I couldn't finish it between us. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and took excellent care of us. For dessert, my friend opted for the cannoli, and I have no idea how he managed to eat it after such a huge meal! We will definitely be returning! I especially enjoyed the slices of fresh Roma tomatoes on top of the pizza."

"first time in chicago and first time in lou malnatis - absolutely amazing. our server tonight (12/11/22) was luis m. luis very attentive and friendly; he made our experience so much better. oh, my God. We have a spinach lobe for one and it was great, 9/10! the pizza on the other side. I can't explain. well, it was. the pizza was impeccable; the perfect balance of ingredients, fresh and high quality ingredients, hot and mouthwater. the drinks were also wonderful. the pizza took approx. 25 minutes, but I'd have been waiting sincerely for 2 hours until even a bit. absolutely a must visit places when they visit or have not yet tried. thanks for the experience!"

"I just want to give a huge shoutout to the Florence Little Caesars!! I don?t know his name, but the guy with the glasses that takes the orders is the best customer service guy ever. And him and the cook have turned this restaurant around. A few years ago, I hated this one, but now I literally won?t go anywhere else. They make those pizzas FRESH. For $7, that stuffed crust pepperoni cannot be beaten. What even is dominos now. And he always has a smile on his face and is so nice. Seriously don?t get pizza anywhere else; they?ll take great care of you! Owner of this joint, give the two men working tonight a huge promotion cause they deserve it. Love, a loyal customer who now comes every week because of the workers good food they serve."

"Store opens at 11 and I get there shortly after for the entrance to still be locked and the guy working to say he's not having pizzas ready for another 30 minutes. He said he's working alone and busy with whatever else. I understand you may be busy, but the pizza cooks itself. All he had to do was put one in the oven but instead chose give attitude and not provide service. The only reason I am giving 2 stars is because every other time I go I don't have any problems and the pizzas usually freshly made"

"I found a seat at the bar and met a nice elderly couple from Massachusetts who were also waiting for their table. After about 20 minutes, I was able to place my order. However, I wasn't really enjoying the bar seating experience. The smell of bleach and dirty mop water was incredibly overpowering, and I found it distracting that the bartender had to make every drink right in front of me. But I digress. I ordered a small Chicago classic pizza, even though a part of me wished I had stuck with my original choice of a personal pan pizza, but it was too late for that. I was informed that the pizza takes about 20 minutes to make, which I totally understood. When it arrived, I thought it was just okay. Personally, it had too many tomatoes for my taste, and it didn't seem to have extra cheese like I had hoped. The lean sausage was definitely the highlight; it seemed to be a patty placed on top, ensuring you got sausage in every bite. However, the crust was a bit too thick for my liking. It was definitely better when it was fresh out of the oven. I took two pieces to go, but cold deep dish pizza is really not the best experience. I’m not sure if I’m a fan, but I would definitely be willing to try another Chicago staple if I visit again."

"Good service. Excellent food. We had the filled spinach bread, buffalo wings and a deep pizza. The spinach bread and buffalo wings did not come out long after the order. Shortly after we finished our appetizers, the deep pancake came out. Lou has the best sauce and crust, and the deep dish is not too thick as a filled pizza. Our server has regularly checked for us to fill drinks and make sure we enjoy the food. Good atmosphere. There's a small bar area at the back with some TVs."

"It was my first and only dip dish pizza and honestly I didn’t get it. Don’t know if I just got a “bad batch” or it all tase like this. But dough was tasteless, then it was a loot of cheese and tomato sauce… Nothing special, so spices, no basil.. it tasted very blend. That’s my experience. I ordered to go, my order was ready at assigned time, no problems with that. I was there Saturday evening, place was packed and many people were waiting for to go order. So keep that in mind, maybe come in earlier or order to go."

"This place offers fantastic deep-dish and thin-crust pizzas. However, it's important to note that this location is strictly for pickup, and I wish they had a sit-down option in this part of town. The restaurant is clean, and the staff is friendly. My main concern is that the prices for the pizzas keep rising; I paid about $38 for a large deep-dish during my last visit. Because of this, I find myself only dining here a few times a year now. If you appreciate my honest reviews, please like my post and follow my Google account. Thank you!"

"This is a carry out only location in Third Lake. I have been doing the carry out thing for years and I almost always get the frozen spinach pizza. I like to have one on hand for pizza emergencies. I throw some thinly sliced onions on before baking and the pizza is always, always delicious. The loss of stars is for gradually but steadily shrinking the thickness of the “deep dish “ pizza. It used to be that the foil pan it comes in was just the right height to hold the pizza without the cardboard cover smashing the top. Now, the pizza is only 1/4 of the height of the pan. Lots of room for what, air? No it doesn’t get thicker when it warms up for 30-35 min. 425 degrees. I don’t think it’s much higher than the frozen thin crust pizzas now available in the freezer. At least those are set in shallow pans and wrapped in clear cellophane so what you see is what you get. It’s not a fluke, every pizza I buy is like this. People who order online and ship to friends, just know they will NOT be getting the deep dish pan pizza of yesteryears. I guess “Deep Dish” is relative. Think of this “deep” as the deep end of the baby pool. Concomitant to the decrease in size is an increase in the cost. At least the pizza is still tasty."

"Visited this place because my kids only like eating spinach pizza from this place with the buttery crust. This was my first visit to this location. I called ahead and placed my order, a large thin crust extra cheese and spinach cooked well done. Keep in mind I am about 30-40 minutes from home. While there I had to wait an extra 10-15 minutes for the pie to bake even after the original bake time. It was already so late I didn’t even bother checking the pizza before I left I just knew that it was hot temperature wise. When I got home the pizza was as pale as 2% milk and my kids hate the taste of cheese that isn’t cooked well done. I called the location immediately to inform them of this and spoke to the manager who really didn’t speak good English. He said they no longer leave your name around to remake the pizza they only send you a gift card in the mail. I gave him my info and still haven’t received this gift card. 2 weeks later I called and spoke to a manager named John and said he could either credit my card that I used or double check to see if the card was sent out and that he’d call me back in an hour and I never heard from him either. At this point I am just going to contact my bank and have them reverse the transaction. Maybe that will wake this location up. Also if the amount of cheese that was on my pizza was considered to be double then save yourself time and money and only get the standard layer because there were still empty pockets of pizza with just tomato sauce and no cheese Update I received a call from one of the store managers I believe his name is Chris. He reached out via phone and took very good care of me. Therefore I have decided to upgrade their rating but leave the initial review. I can appreciate great customer service."

"Hate to complain but horrible service here. Have eaten at Lou Malnati 's in other locations before, and get take out from a different location somewhat regularly. Last night we went to the DePaul location after a lovely nearby event. It was a beautiful, warm night out and they had outdoor tables. Hostess or front counter person was friendly enough, though because we would have been the only table outside told us it was better, service wise, to eat indoors. In retrospect I wonder if she was possibly worried of the wrath of the server. That server who we got ten minutes in seemed unhappy from the moment she walked up and was not very amenable to questions. We ordered a beer and a cider (both in bottles , caesar salad to share, and medium pizza.A few minutes later, bottles were flung down on our table, no glasses or here you go just flung by server who was gone in less than a flash.Caesar came about 10 15 mins later, by a food runner. There were no plates or silverware on the table and as she walked away we asked for them and fresh ground pepper, and if we could get another beer. But no one brought us plates or silverware. We asked again to no avail and we eventually got up and found some ourselves. Maybe they had a big takeout business but there weren 't that many tables. When the server did come by we asked again for fresh ground pepper (which most places with entree salads provide and the one beer. She seemed unaware of what a pepper grinder was. She came back with the wrong drink, not the beer we had ordered, rushed off (so we had to flag her down and then blamed us for the error. Wow. No one took the dirty salad plates away, until we asked, no one took the empty bottles away ever. It was down to maybe two other tables at this point. We had just come from an amazing event so we still had a great time with each other, and were pretty successful at ignoring how rude the server was. But never again will we go to this location. The pizza was decent enough (if small they don 't tell you the size in inches on the menu and no one seems to know the dimensions . The caesar had too much dressing but we were starving and ate it all and it tasted good do not understand why they add tomatoes to it though. Would still get the food again to go or delivery but the rude server (we 're sure she was having a bad day but no need to take it out on guests! and just bad overall service experience in a restaurant without much ambiance (except for those outside tables is a no go."

"Not the same less ingredients and higher prices. When companies start doing this they are losing customers and headed for a grand closing. 2 weeks ago, my wife and I stopped in to pick up 2 pizzas for our family and were given the wrong order (a thin crust kids pizza) when we ordered a medium deep dish half sausage, half spinach pizza. We called to speak to the supervisor, and she said she would mail out a coupon instead of putting a free pizza on my telephone number. Well, it’s been 3 weeks, and we have seen nothing. We stopped in 2 days ago to pick up another pizza. We informed Ciara, the manager on duty in Flossmoor, Illinois about the issue, she was very dismissive, act like she didn’t care, and said the coupons are on her desk in the back. Instead of giving us the one that they promised, she said she’ll mail it out and walked away. The general manager Yami sent an email basically doing and saying nothing as well. Buyer beware because if they messed up your order they will not correct it. By the way, we drove over 40 minutes to this location. After reading all the negative reviews on Google and Yelp, I’m positive nothing will happen and this is how they do business. When people start to experience Ciara’s attitude I’m sure eventually it’ll be a grand closing of that location. Go to Giordano’s, the service is much better."

"Tried @loumalnatis for the first time this past weekend! This is the Midway location. We thoroughly enjoyed our appetizers- mozzarella sticks and BBQ boneless wings. Trying to be healthier in 2022, we even ate the lettuce leaf and celery sticks! Lol Love that they didn't skimp on the dipping sauces too. The Chocolate Obsession dessert, which is the real reason I came here, is offered for a limited time, so get yours while you can! It was especially tasty once it had thawed out a bit more. I ate most of it at home. Now the pizza "
"I often like to pay attention to the small details in restaurants, but this time, the food took center stage. My son's cheese pizza was exactly what you'd expect from a classic cheese pizza. At just seven years old, he typically has a lot to say about his meals, but he happily devoured this one without any complaints. This place has certainly earned my seal of approval!"

"I was in Scottsdale last week for a few days with friends, and we had to come here for a great pizza. Seriously delicious and never disappointed! But what led my review was the amazing service we got from Ricky Bobby Boucher. Truly epic-he was all the things you hope to get with a big server, but so much beyond. All fun movie and TV quotes, with one of our party that might be a bit intoxicated before we there, and overall a wonderful improvement of our delicious food. This guy is fantastic!"
