    Deep Dish Mike's Hot Honey with Pepperoni
    Gabriela W.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Spaghetti with meat sauce
    Sumita M.

    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!

    Gluten free mushroom light cheese.
    Jessica S.

    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.

    This is supposed to be deep dish?

    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.

    We asked for pre cut, but they also do uncut.

    Do they have wine?

    It's takeout only so I do not think they have beer or wine for purchase.

That's okay, we'll partake of their boozy drinks when we visit again. Food: parmesan truffle fries were aah-mazing. I even told Esmerelda they should add a pizza with the garlic aioli. The buffalo mozzarella had a bit of a kick to the sauce; we could have used more toasted bread to dip into it. We ordered the heaven and bianca pizzas. The crust was thinner than normal, which I was happy about, and the flavors of both were delicious. Dessert: despite not finishing the appetizers & pizza (no worries, we thoroughly enjoyed the leftovers!), we opted for a gelato flight. It was divine, and hefty samples. You wouldn't think 4 oz was much, but of gelato, it was plenty. We selected chocolate, strawberry, salted caramel, and mango. If you haven't tried Roma 23, I highly recommend it. Even if you don't live close by, it is worth the drive.

Lunch menu has many good options. I choose the pizza and salad option. Comes with a homemade 10" pizza with a choice of two toppings, $1.75 for each additional, and a house salad. Bread and butter arrived almost immediately. Sipped on my Diet Coke and the food arrived in 10 min. or so. First the Pizza, I must say, the toppings were plentiful to say the least, it must have had close to an entire sausage on it, loads of pepperoni and a lot of mushrooms. I did have to add a bit of red pepper as I like a bite to my pizza. A few shakes of parmesan and I was off the races. The salad arrived shortly after the Pizza. Nice salad with lot of different thing, lettece, carrots, olives, cherry tomatoes, onions, radish slices. Overall, a good and plentiful lunch for $14.95. I did not sample any wine, but it appeared that this was a main staple of the restaurant, they have wine tastings once a monty. Looks like the place has been open for awhile and I am sure they have a following. I would give it high marks, good food, clean, friendly wait service and reasonable prices.

Fads like chili on everything only serve one purpose, to demolish traditional recipes to align with the now predominant "heat" in everything! We came to celebrate a birthday and have a nice dinner: mission accomplished! Started the evening with cocktails and S.pellegrino water as always. The "Knucklehead" cocktail is bourbon based with bitters and pear liqueur; I had to try the "I'll Guav Another" and Yes, I had another, it's very more-ish :) The service was excellent and our server was on point with descriptions of dishes and the continued service. The ambiance was very similar to restaurants back in Milano, noisy because people were chatting and having a good time. Thankfully there were no sports TV's close by making for a very pleasant evening out. I had the pasta alle vongole (clams) that was very tasty; I would have liked a bit less oil and fresh parsley on top, but I honestly ate the whole thing and even mopped up the lemon and white wine sauce with the crusty bread they served. We call it "fare la scarpetta" in Italian. The other diners had a chicken dish that looked good too but I didn't taste them, was too engulfed in my pasta... We had a really good meal, the company was great, and we left well sated. Will be back when on their side of town !

Most of the staff seemed unprofessional and uninterested, with the exception of one longtime waiter who has always been great.

It's truly disappointing to see a once-great restaurant fall to this level.
