    Deep dish sausage pizza
    Patricia U.

    This goes for Lou Malnatis in general but I love that they've never changed their recipe in all the years I've gone here. I love deep dish pizza and I will always say that Lou Malnatis's is the best!

    Super tasty pizza presentation. Got the personal classic deep dish personal pizza. Looks like you just got it out of the oven. Really kind workers with a clean environment. Students welcome!

    Best Deep Dish Pizza of all time. Good customer service. On weekends it's pretty busy, but it's worth the wait! Great salads and appetizers. Love the loyalty program! I would 100% recommend!

    Deep Dish cheese and sausage
    Dan K.

    Our takeout selection tonight from Lou Malnati's, included a medium sausage and cheese deep dish pizza, along with a medium deep dish cheese pizza. As always, Lou Malnati's proved to be our reliable choice for indulging in deep dish delights.The sausage and cheese pizza boasted the perfect balance of flavors, with generous toppings atop a satisfyingly thick crust. Likewise, the cheese pizza delivered on its promise of gooey, cheesy goodness.When craving deep dish pizza Lou Malnati's is undoubtedly our go-to spot. Their consistent quality and dedication to crafting mouthwatering pizzas keep us coming back time and time again.

    Just a takeout place, not sit- in dining.

    I've seen the owner on TV making his pizzas and always wanted to try it. This is my first trip to Chicago, and unfortunately, this Lou Malnati location is only carry out so I had to take it back to the hotel room. Would have preferred to dine in. But, no deduction of star rating for that - I'm glad it was available! I wanted to start with a healthier option, a salad, and the Malnati salad was perfect. The Malnati vinaigrette was amazing! I followed that with a small Malnati Classic Chicago which is a sausage deep dish. This serves 2 people, 2 slices were very filling. The crust had a nice crunch to it, and this version has a slight buttery flavor that was great. NOT Ike the old Pizza Hut deep dish which I hated. The only issue I had was, the parmesan that came in a little wrapper smelled acrid. Threw that away. Definitely a perfect dinner for a hotel night! Leftovers for breakfast as well.

    This is the deep dish!!!! Come on, really?

    awful - burnt, thin, dry .... second time at this location. We have been going to Lou's for over 20+ years because it is quality! This location is not Lou's standard- cutting quality while taking our money. Super disappointed, see photos. I try not to go out of my way for negative comments , but second time.

    Deep Dish, Medium, low fat mozz. All sausage. Half extra mushrooms. Regular sauce, bake and cheese.

    Yes it's expensive but it's really damn good. I think we alone kept this location open during the pandemic.

    As you walk up, they greet you and treat you like family…read more Their goal, is to make you feel welcomed! They have plenty of seating. So, you rarely have to wait. We always come in on Tuesday's as a family when they have half off Chicago tavern style pizzas. As soon as you're seated, they served you a basket of warm Italian bread with butter. Which, is a great way to start off the meal. I like to order the Margarita Pizza- extra thin and extra crispy. Along with the Hawaiian with game and pineapple extra thin extra crispy. Sometimes, I'll mix it up and order the chicken club without ranch or onions. Which, is delicious but, very rich! Margarita Pizza-This pizza is airy, crispy, and rich! The combo of the fresh basil, house made sauce, fresh tomatoes, house cheese blend, and the thin crispy crust topped with oozy cheese is excellent! Hawaiian with ham and Pineapple- This pizza will melt in your mouth! It's the perfect balance of savory and sweet! It's crispy and crunchy with incredibly delicious rich in house made red sauce. Topped with fresh cheese, Smokey ham, and sweet pineapple! It's pure perfection! The service is always amazing even when it's super busy! And, Nick is always the best at making you feel like family. He'll greet you as you walk in, check in on you, jump in wherever help is needed, then say goodbye as you walk out. So, if your looking for a new go to spot. Come here! You won't regret it.

    This has become our new favorite go-to…read more A nice family place with ample seating, and reasonable prices. It's got a decent, clean bar. But it doesn't overwhelm the place. And there's some outdoor seating, when the weather is good. Definitely a local spot that you can just chill and relax at. I've now been here several times and so far everything has been perfect. The staff is always friendly and very accommodating, cordial, and engaging. They seem to go out of their way to accommodate you. And it doesn't feel forced like they have to do it, but just out of good common courtesy. Their thin, cracker crust pizza is something we get every time. Even if it's for just an appetizer, we will get a small and split it up for the table. Really outstanding flavor, great sauce, the "undercarriage" always crispy, and great flavorful cheese. We have gone up and down the menu from appetizers to the main dishes and I've been happy every single dish. As an appetizer, I highly recommend the calamari. With a light batter it's serve with marinara sauce and lemon. We've never seen them overdone or rubbery, which all to common. Ask for a little bottle of Tabasco if you want to add a little heat or kick. The main dishes. Spectacular chicken Vesuvio, chicken Parmesan, chicken Marsala, etc... All Solid! The Italian beef and beef/combo w/ sausage are delicious and quite frankly monstrous. Wow, do you get a lot for your portion here. I would definitely recommend one for that beefy hitter. For me, it's a the beef combo, dipped, with Giardinara, and a side of Au jus. And maybe broil a little provolone on top, if I'm feeling fancy. And honestly, the cakes and desserts are astonishing. The chocolate cake is so delicious and decadent and rich. OMG, I could just go in for a nice coffee and a chocolate cake and I'd be happy. In all, five stars for this place. I will be back on the regular. (honestly, I need to take more pictures. But the food is so good. I start eating it before I can remember to snap a shot)

    Only my second time in Glen Ellyn, and first time in many years. What a great downtown, tons of…read moreexcellent places to explore. But, having long been a fan of Zaza's, and an original east coaster, we had to try Nemec Brothers. Good news - it's the same delicious pizza you're used to at Zaza's. Even has the same layout inside. Their white pizza is as good a white pizza as I've had outside of the tri-state area, and I've had plenty in the Chicagoland area. Perfect crust, excellent cheese, and I absolutely love the addition of the sesame on the crust. Not sure when I'll be back to the area, but Glen Ellyn is lucky to have this spot.

The quality ingredients stand out for sure, the perfect preparation shines, but the real star is the crust. It's chewy in the right places, crispy at the end, buttery, and holds up to serious toppings. For pizza that quality to be prepared and cooked within a reasonable time was impressive, and it wasn't like it was empty - we had great service even with a ton of take out orders and diners in the restaurant. The seating area is modest, but I was there for the pizza - and boy did it show up. Easy 5 stars.
