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.

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.
