    We were seated and didn’t get water or see a server for over 10 minutes. Food was good but a bit disappointed with the service (had to ask for a side of salad dressing and water twice.

    Lou's deep dish pizza is the best. They make their own sausage, and it tastes delicious. Crust is nice and crispy and complements the ingredients. Service was a little off last night. Our server looked frazzled. We had to ask for additional water and drinks. And it was too loud. It was difficult to have a conversation.

    Always great food and pizza! Didn’t get beer this time but the list is nice. There’s parking always and if you need more there is street or by the bank I believe. Deep dish was amazing! Surprisingly we got a Caesar salad and loved it. I would 1000% get that again it was so good. A nice sparkling water too and the meal was great and for a great price

    I used to think Lou’s was the best pizza in town but they’ve outgrown their quality.
