After a poor experience with a different location we recently visited the Surprise location in Arizona. I have to say the food and service were very good. While it's a bit pricey it's one of those foods we crave and have to have every once in a while. The Chicago deep dish and Lou's salad are our favorites. A++ all around this visit. read more

Girlllll what the hell. Worst $25 I ever done spent. Not sure how you mess up something so easy and tasty as hot honey, but this pizza tasted like nothing, yet like plain, uncooked flour dough at the same time. Also there was but a mere 3 pieces of giardiniera that it claims to have...unfortunate. Eeeeyuck! read more

Lou Malnati's Pizzeria - Mike's hot honey thin crust - Pizza Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

Love their house salad and deep dish pizza. Love the outside dinning at Surprise location!

Horrible food. We ordered a thin crust sausage pizza as well as a small margarita. It was so hard to bite into sounded like teeth were breaking. #Never again will stick with Rosati's. Lou's in Chicago is so much better, read more

If I could shake Mr. Malnati's hand personally, I would. My family would follow very close behind. We are in love. We all agreed this being the best pizza we have ever had - every single bite. My family and I did not experience one bad bite during our dinner. We ordered Lou's on DoorDash and everything was delivered piping hot as if we were being served table-side. The next day, we popped our leftovers into the oven and were still blown away by how good it was. We will definitely be back - very soon - and back again! We also plan on visiting the restaurant very soon. We can't wait! read more

Lou Malnati's Pizzeria - Deep Dish Mike's Hot Honey with Pepperoni - Pizza Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

I've recently realized that I am allergic to gluten. So I am now on the search for a good gluten-free pizza. I have tried the regular pizza at Lou's and opted to try their gluten-free version. Like the taste of the filling but texture was completely different and the crust was very waxy. I would not order again, but I might try the thin crust next time hopefully the experience will be better. read more

Perfectly cooked, true Chicago pizza I've ordered from here many times and they never disappoint!

Our waitress was amazing. The pizza need a little TLC The crust on the Malnati's you could see and some what taste the butter crust on the other one did not get the butter crust. The crust makes the pizza. This is not the first time my pizza lacked the CHICAGO TASTE. The pizza was on point the first few days of opening. The restaurant and wait staff 10 out of 10. The restaurant is clean well maintained even time we go staff is very friendly. read more

My kids are obsessed with spaghetti and pasta--they could eat it any time, day or night! Tonight, around 9:45 pm, they asked for their favorite meal, but I didn't have the time to cook that late. So, I turned to Uber Eats and found Lou Malnati's Pizzeria, which offers both pasta and pizza. It was our only option, so I took a chance and placed an order. To my delight, my kids devoured every bite, raving about how delicious it was and asking when we could order it again. I'm thrilled with the choice and can't wait to try their pizzas next! read more

What a disappointing experience. I used to live in Scottsdale and visiting for the week. Top of my list was a pizza at Lou Malnati. We ordered the pizza to go and as soon as I opened the box I knew something was wrong. The deep dish crust is paper thin and there was a moat of liquid all around the pizza and on top. Which made the already paper thin crust soggy. What is up with the stewed tasteless tomatoes instead of an actual sauce? I had to actually drain the pizza because there was too much liquid from the canned tomatoes to soak up with a paper towel. And do you not have any seasonings? The veggies and even the sausage had no flavor. $40 for a medium pizza down the drain. I was shocked to see the reviews. Guess I should have made sure the quality didn't change over the last couple years. Trust the reviews people. Pizza Hut does a much better pan pizza. What a way to destroy a legacy. read more

This review is strictly for our gluten free experience. This is a pick up only location. No dining in. The gal who took our order 5 stars! Answered all our detailed questions and was so sweet and awesome! They are gluten free, not just gluten friendly. They give you your pizza uncut. Just a heads up! If you are going to try to eat in the car bring your pizza cutters! =) The sauce is the best part. They use a nice cheese as well. We ordered 2 gluten free mushroom pizzas. Has anyone tried to eat this pizza before placing on the market at the locations? It was as hard as a rock. We couldn't bite through the crust. You can see in the photos the edges were very dark. The entire pizza was like that. The rice, eggwhite, corn, potato, tapioca recipe was solid. Too solid to bite. We all have cavity free healthy chompers. There was just no way to chew the crust. Not even in the center. Pizza top flavor yummy,, 1 star for being unedible. A pizza cutter would not cut, but it broke in half easily. The girls ate the light cheese and mushroom topping we requested off. That got us by until we went to another pizza place to get something we could chew. Lou's flavor and people are awesome. Just stay away from the gluten free. $40 for nothing. read more

We tried this place one last time last night. So disappointed. Not even close to the same deep dish this location used to serve when they first opened which we used to love. Have given them several chances after we noticed the changes. We noticed the pizza looked different as soon as we opened the box. Now, the crust is hard and tastes like cardboard, too minimal sauce, overwhelming amount of gloppy cheese, and toppings not fresh. Such a shame, especially after paying $63 for one large and one small deep dish. Would happily pay this for quality, but this was like a store-bought frozen pizza. Will not return. read more

The ambience was fine. The service was very good as well. The pizza toppings were excellent the cheese and sausage. Everything was very, very good. However, the crust is not Chicago style thin crust, and I'm from Chicago. It was good, but it was just different from what I was used to the usual Chicago tavern style. All in all, though I would definitely go back. read more

My favorite pizza place. There's no seating. Just order through the app and take it home or get it delivered. You can't pay with a gift card on the app though. I had to call in the order and pay upon pickup. Not a major deal, it's just easier for me to pay online and then pick it up, but that is my personal preference. I always get the Chicago Classic. Omg. Out of all the pizza I've eaten, this easily has the best sauce. I don't have it cut and just cut it at home. It's deep dish pizza with a delicious crispy crust, lots of cheese and sausage. So so good. The sausage is a lean sausage so it's not super fatty and greasy on top of the cheese. The Lou's bruschetta is always good as well. The tomatoes are always nicely ripened, basil tastes super fresh, and there's garlic bread rounds (they aren't "cheesy" garlic bread rounds, they are like garlic toast). Their garlic bread is pretty good for what it is, but it does taste like pretty standard garlic bread. No complaints though. The other thing I always get is the Malnati salad. It's a huge hearty salad with a sweet vinaigrette. This is my absolute favorite salad and salad dressing. It comes with black olives, mushrooms, tomatoes, Romano & Gorgonzola cheese, and salami bits. They have other salad dressing options, but I stick with my favorite. The wings are decent, but nothing wildly special. They are good though, so I'll get them if I'm craving wings & deep dish pizza. It is a lot of good though. I haven't tried the pasta or sandwich yet. It's on my list to try. Desserts: Skip the cookies. They were pretty hard and dry and didn't have a lot of chocolate chips. I don't know if that's how they always are, but they seemed like they were a few days old, or just need to improve the recipe. I like chewy chocolate chip cookies stuffed with chocolate chips, but that's just how I like them. The tiramisu doesn't really have a lot of coffee flavor or a lot of mascarpone flavor. It wasn't a dry cake but it didn't taste like tiramisu. It tastes like a vanilla cake mostly. It wasn't gross, just not like tiramisu. read more

Pizza is not what it used to be. It's thin and lacks the flavor it once had. Very disappointing. Almost 50 dollars for a pizza and salad??? Never again. read more

Lou Malnati's Pizzeria - This is supposed to be deep dish? - Pizza Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

Lou Malnati's pizza is incredible! The thin crust is delicious, but the Chicago deep dish is to die for. The restaurant recommends that you order your pizza uncut so that the cheese and sauce have time to set while it travels, whether you order carry out or delivery. Get yourself a nice pizza slicer. This pizza deserves it. When you Lou's, you win! read more

Always good Chicago style pizza here. I've been to them in Chicago when I used to go back there but this is one of 2 great Chicago pizza places. read more

They changed the formula folks! You now how Fun Size candy bars got so teeny tiny? That's what Lou has officially done to the crust size of what is supposed to be a deep dish PAN pizza. It is now a hard as a rock crust with a little lip on the side to make you think it's deep dish. You know Lou's and Gino's East were the places in Chicago for special occasions . And when you saw how deep the crust was when the server cut it for the very first piece, you thought it was a holy sight. The big lip of crust with a thick bottom of crust is the definition of deep dish. It is no longer. Cutting corners and dough depth for extra profit is a joke. You just ruined Lou's, officially. Folks, you might as well save some money and buy their crappy thin crust pizza. Make sure you don't crack a crown eating it. By the way, I'm not the only reviewer saying this. Wonder if Lou's even sees these? read more

Delicious. We really enjoy some good Chicago style pizza and this one hits the spot. Very tasty. The cheese is so good!!!!! Will be eating there's again. Our first visit we had- pepperoni, bell peppers and onion- our favorites combo. read more

There is nothing that they could do better but start over. I picked up a pizza thee and it was the worse pizza I've ever had the crust was hard and tasteless. It was like eating cardboard. Once the cheese had cooled a little, you couldn't really chew it. He just had to swallow it. Not sure if they're using real cheese never had cheese like that before. I did heat it up when we got home, but it didn't seem to help the Pizza. I was very disappointed. read more

I was not a fan and pizza is my favorite , the crust was very hard and almost like a cornbread texture but so hard you can't chew it . It tasted like really bad cafeteria pizza. Super disappointed and not worth the money at all read more

They've gotten better since they opened, when they had no idea how to make pizza. At one point, I was told the amount of ingredients they use is "subjective" and changes. What? Now the pizza is good sometimes, and at others it seems they use less of everything to make a deep dish. Still nowhere near as good as the ones in Chicagoland unfortunately. read more

What a disappointment! This pizza looks and tastes nothing like the Lou Malnati's in Chicago. The crust, sauce, & sausage are completely different. read more

I got a small pizza & and an order of wings which both tasted very good. The small pizza is definitely the smallest I've seen and it says it feeds two but would definitely disagree. You get four slices for a staggering price of $22.79. There definitely is no value here. I've attached some pics but it's still kinda deceiving. read more

Lou Malnati's Pizzeria - Mike's hot honey deep dish - Pizza Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

Hi As I'm from Chicago I know my pizza, and it's a shame that Lou's has altered the recipe to make it a smaller deep dish with less crust all in the name of profit [this was confirmed by manager]. You used to have to use a knife to cut it, but now they don't even give a knife as it is not necessary to cut through the thin crust. What a shame that a decades-long tradition and reputation has gone done the drain!!! Don't get me wrong, it still tastes great, but one can just order the thin crust for the same experience with just no rim of crust. read more

I'm from Chicago and know what Lou Malnati's is supposed to taste like. This place has been here since 2020-2021?? I have ate here a lot because I want to keep giving this place a chance to succeed, but after last night, I'm done. I ordered a pizza with extra sauce, and I get home and there's tomato slices on top of the pizza, with hardly any sauce on the pizza... even the receipt said extra sauce. It's ridiculous. Other times, the pizza isn't done or overdone, they don't listen. read more

I always order from the Pick-up/Delivery location in Glendale, AZ. The pizza is usually always tasty, and we enjoy it. We receive the correct pizza about every other time. If you haven't tried the pizza I suggest that you do, it is delicious. They don't offer too many pizza options, but for a fairly pricy amount, you can add toppings of your liking. read more

Newest Lou's location in a brand new space! Lou Malnati's will always be near and dear to me... and the best of the best when it comes to Chicago-style deepdish pizza! With the pandmic being in full swing, the friendly mask-wearing Lou's team comes out to your car when you pull up... confirms your order... and then runs in and brings it out to you! It's that easy! Fresh, hot, DEEEEE-licious, and beautiful pizza brought right out to your car... there are only like three things I can think of that are better than that!

Again, I'm gonna say that it's the worst pizza I have ever had. The services was fine but the food gross.

Worst pizza I have ever eaten. I'm from Chicago and I know what good Chicago pizza should taste like. This wasn't it. We had the gluten free crust which was terrible. It wasn't just the gluten-free crust that was bad. The pizza had NO TASTE. To top it all off they charged me $35 when the menu said it was between 22 and $24. I was in a hurry so I didn't think about it when I paid it. I just figured it was ridiculously high price like everything else these days. read more

Only real deep dish pizza in town. Ate there the first time in Lincolnwwod IL in 1975. Still just as good.

If you don't mind waiting 45 mins for a pizza, then this is the place to go. Order an appetizer or a salad to snack on while you wait. People have raved about their pizza so we finally gave it a try. The deep dish wasn't really as thick as I anticipated. But I was a fan of the sauce. It wasn't sweet or over the top. We also tried the crust less pizza which has sausage as the base and it was really good. Nothing being a huge pizza fan this was a good option. Overall I'm not sure if I'll be craving it enough to make the drive. But it was worth trying. read more

Lou Malnati's is an amazing pizza brand. The local locations in Scottsdale and central Phoenix are fantastic. Sadly, the Glendale location doesn't always live up to those experiences. The food is inconsistent. The order is usually either missing items or something is not quite right. When they have it right, they get it done wonderfully but unfortunately, that's only been about 40% of the times we've gone there. I hope they get a heavier mgmt team who can focus on QA. If they do that, they'll be amazing. read more
