    De las mejores pizzas que he probado; un ambiente familiar, relajado y amigable, fuimos un grupo de 12 personas y se adaptaron a nuestras necesidades. Muy recomendable!

    We had a reservation which was honored-very much appreciated as the restaurant was jammed. Wonderful waitress. We are born and bred NYers.....sorry but this pizza did not come close to what we are used to. Under seasoned, dough undercooked. We were very happy to try this Chicago deep dish, but we will stick with NY style. Thanks for the experience.

    Waitress simply wasn't attentive to our needs. Had to wait 15 mins to get a cup of beer. Also, i had to wait 20 mins to get a regill on my pepsi zero.

    Family of 6 and we had a wonderful dinning experience. The thin cruise pizza with pepperoni and sausage was amazing as was the cheese ravioli. The little one each got the cheese ravioli also and it was a very nice size for a child’s meal. Also added an order of fries and fruit for the kids which was a big hit! Cheese bread with marinara was fantastic and highly recommended as an appetizer. Reservation was at 215 and we were seated right on time at a nice spacious booth for us all.

    It would have been a pleasant experience, but my purse was stolen off the back of my chair. It ruined our night.

    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!
