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!

Personal pizza

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!

Deep Dish Pizza w/ Black Olives and Green Peppers

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.

Lasagna isn't pizza. But it was tasty. I probably won't go back unless I'm a social event etc. but I'm from New Haven, I'm spoiled.

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)

First time visit to Pronto's. A Friday night early dinner. The food was very good. We had a make…read moreyour own pizza with medium thick crust, bbq sauce, bacon, sausage and fresh garlic. I had Franky's Meatball Salad with Creamy Garlic dressing. We ordered Parmesan breadsticks and my husband had the Vodka Rigatoni Special. More about that later. We were served a really great crusty Italian bread and butter when we sat down. The restaurant was well staffed. Each of us had a good amount of leftovers to bring home. Prices are in line with other Italian restaurants in the area. Even a little less expensive. The server dropped off our bill. I usually don't look through the bill. My bad. This time I wanted to be sure we were charged the Special $8.00 Vodka Rigatoni special and not the regular $12.00 price for the dinner. My instincts were right. Our server charged us the $12.00 regular price. We asked a busser to find our server so she could correct it. We waited about 10 minutes for her to come back. She printed off a new bill with the corrected amount. I've had this happen to me before at other restaurants. I'm always a little skeptical about whether it was an honest mistake or if the server was trying to pull one over on us. I did not subtract any stars from my review since the amount was corrected, Husband reported that the Men's room was immaculate. We plan to return. We were happy with our experience.
