    Always love a good pizza at Lou's. I grew up in Lincolnwood, IL and have been having Lou's for 50 years. Glad to see it out in the suburbs too. Naperville location did it proud!

    Service was lacking. Never brought bread when asked for it. I asked what was gluten free. The waitress replied nothing was free. I asked for more water. It took 20 minutes. The pizza arrived cold. Waitress never asked how everything was. It took forever to get our bill ehen we were finished. I'm a good tipper but 20 percent was automatically added to bill. Her service was not worth 20 percent and I should be able to rectify that.

    There was 8 of us there for dinner night before Easter. Pizza was excellent. Service was very good. Decor was ordinary and tables were too close together. Ravioli was excellent. The big disappointment was the lasagna. I must have had a corner piece as I couldn’t cut through the bottom layer. It was hard. Not good. Plus it was flooded in marinara sauce. Way too much. But we had a good time and the kids enjoyed the arcade.
