    Lou Malnati’s original restaurant in Lincoln wood. The customer service couldn’t have been better as we were delayed past our reservation and the management was understanding, pleasant, and accommodating…saving our reserved table.70th birthdays celebration having also dined with Lou’s for 50 years! Food was delicious as we hoped and expected.Service was friendly and very attentive. We were even treated to birthday desserts! Couldn’t have asked for a more enjoyable reunion with Malnatti’s to celebrated landmark birthdays.

    Lou’s is always a favorite! The Malnati salad was delicious as ever and the deep dish pizza was cheesy happiness! We got there early and we were glad we did! It was a busy night, but our server was attentive and amazing. A good treat for a cold night!

    Love Lou’s and it was excellent. Wrote that we were celebrating a birthday and they didn’t read that note from the OpenTable reservation or do anything to acknowledge the milestone birthday. Disappointing that I had to point it out to them and then it took too long and we had to leave.

    Lou Malnati’s is justly well-known for its iconic take on several varieties of “Chicago style” pizza. We had personal sized pizzas which we could customize to our tastes and they were delicious. The ingredients were fresh, the crust was nicely crisp while the deep dish elements of sauce, cheese, and vegetables and meats were richly flavored. Our server was very attentive and friendly. And the Lincolnwood location had parking!!
