    Deep Dish Cheese pizza
    Divya R.

    Heard from lot of folks about one of the best places for Deep dish Chicago style pizza so reserved the place for a small event. Directions/location was easy. Good sized parking and was quite full but there were still good amount of spots left. We ordered cheese, pepperoni, sausage - three varieties of pizza, pasta with marinara sauce and Malnati's salad. They served around one slice of pizza for each person asking to choose from one at a time. Salad was the best. Pasta was ok and pizza was nice ! Maybe I had high expectations, it was fine but nothing that I loved it and would come back to Chicago to have it again. It was just good to try the famous joints of Chicago with an average taste.

    What a bunch of mendacious trash Lou Malnati's is feeding their "customers. Once a prominent restaurant figure in Chicago. Now the company has fallen on nefarious practices feeding off the natural nature of Chicagoan's thirst for a quality pizza. The pizza I received yesterday suffices the ownership of Lou Malnati's I guess!?! Let me show everyone what I received yesterday. Pictures don't lie. Dish of bread. Quality 1/10 bread

    Really tasty!

    Take out deep dish was really tasty. 1 pizza fed 4 adults and a toddler and had leftovers.

    I recently ordered Lou Malnati online for delivery. Let me say, they have the best customer service ever. Our pizza arrived with sauce and cheese that slid into the box, which was not appetizing. I called the restaurant and spoke to the manager, he assured me a new pizza would be sent. It was more about how the door dash driver transported the pizza. The second pizza arrived hot and fresh. It was so good and tasty and cheesy. I would definitely recommend this place if you are in the area and know that they value their customers.

    Poorly delivered pizza #1

    Delivery, 12.23.23 Ordered via the Lous direct website for delivery. Large, butter-crust, well done, sausage and mushroom. The pizza was delivered, and it was leaking through the box. When I opened it, all of the toppings had slid off to one side. I contacted the restaurant and spoke with a very kind manager who explained that they are using Door Dash for deliveries because they're having trouble hiring drivers. Okay. He also offered to have the pizza remade and resent. I appreciated that. Unfortunately, the second pizza didn't come in much better shape, despite having a "handle with care" sticker on it. I didn't call and complain a second time because it's not going to make a difference, obviously. The manager did the right thing. Unfortunately, both pizzas came in poor condition and leaking through the boxes. Beyond that, there was something off about the flavor. It was very acidic, and not tomatoey, like, vinegary. I'm disappointed because I love Lous. I grew up on lous. We moved to this area earlier this year and this is the first time we've ordered lous, and I had a serious taste for it. I can't say that I trust ordering from this location unless I'm picking it up. Thanks for trying to the manager, I know they're navigating how to handle a driver shortage. Looks like door dash isn't the solution.

    Good service. Easy ordering it on line. Had too much whole tomato chunks for me. I've had better pizza but all in all it ok

    Pizza was delicious! Was disappointed they didn't have a sit down location here but the pizza. We didn't have to wait too long to get it and the restaurant was nice and clean.

    Burnt cheese pizza

    Native Chicagoan and I was very disappointed in this pizza, not a lot of flavor at all. And my cheese pizza was a little over cooked with no cheese pull. For the amount of money I expected more.

So wrong!! A REAL Chicago pizza is basically a full-blown cheese & toppings filled pie with a thick bottom crust, generous amount of cheese and the sauce piled on top like the grand finale. We stopped at Giordano's in Gurnee and ordered a 14-inch build-your-own w beef, mushrooms, and onions. "Large" apparently means "feeds a small village" because this thing was massive, easily enough for a family of 5!!! Every slice came with that dramatic, slow-motion cheese pulls that make everyone at the table stop talking and start taking pictures!!! The ingredients tasted fresh, the cheese was gloriously gooey, and each slice was hearty enough to qualify as a meal and a half. We also grabbed the mozzarella triangles and buffalo wings bc apparently self-control wasn't invited to dinner. The mozzarella triangles were crispy, cheesy little pockets of happiness, and the wings brought just the right amount of buffalo kick. Both were absolutely delicious and disappeared way faster than they should have. The service was fantastic too!! Drinks never stayed empty for long, and the staff was attentive throughout the meal. We walked out stuffed, happy, and officially educated on what REAL Chi-town pizza is supposed to be!! If you're visiting Chicago, Giordano's is absolutely a must!!!

    Toppers Pizza is a unique experience. They have so many different sauces/toppings for their pizzas…read morethat it almost seems like the combinations are endless. I ordered over the phone for pickup. The employee said it would be about 15 to 20 minutes. I arrive, and there is plenty of parking around as it is located in a strip. They have a few spaces reserved for curbside pick up also. I went inside it's a small place so it is only carry out options. The employee asked my name and got my to go order. I paid at the counter, and they have plates, napkins, red pepper flakes, and parmesean packets you can grab yourself. Now on to the food. I ordered a medium pizza with half their specialty Mac and cheese pizza and the other half the smoked bbq chicken pizza. One thing about toppers is I love that you can do half specialities it's a way to try more of their combos in one buy. They tend to have deals going on, so always be on the lookout for those. I loved both the flavors I got. The wings, on the other hand, were why I only gave 4 stars. I enjoyed the boom boom sauce it was tasty it was just the size of the wings for the price I paid that I couldn't get past. They redeemed themselves with their cinnamon Stix for dessert. The combo of cinnamon and icing were perfect, and if you needed more icing, they gave you some on the side to dip. Overall good experience next time I know to skip the wings.

    Sad to hear the location closed as it was a pretty decent pizza spot. I definitely preferred it…read moreover other fast food pizza chains. The service was nice and quick. The pizza was cooked exactly how I wanted and the wings had great flavor. I loved the packaging with the cows. Hopefully they open again one day.

Parking is street parking but there are parking lots all around so we just parked in one and walked over. Upon arriving we were quickly seated. The table was a bit dirty but we just used a baby wipe to wipe it down as it took a while for someone to come over to us. We had to go to the bar to track someone down in order to get a kids menu because they didn't give us one despite asking if we needed one We ordered the buffalo wings to start, it was super hot but the flavors were there. I was only able to eat one because it was a bit too hot for me but that's okay. For our pizza we tried 2 different ones. One regular pizza and one motor city style. The Maa Pie was delicious! It was sweet and savory and the toppings were well spread on every bite. What I did struggle with was how doughy the crust tasted for it being a thin crust but overall a great pie! We also tried the Works. It was great and fluffy, plenty of toppings perfectly baked. As we were eating we needed napkins and some silverware but had to run to the bar to get someone to bring some over. The turn off was that all the staff was standing there staring at us as they were talking about one of their tables in a negative way. While they weren't talking about us, they were talking about another family with a kiddo and I can only imagine how I'd feel if I could hear them talking about us. Overall the food was great, bathrooms were clean but the service was lacking this experience but I'm not sure if that's how it always is? I'd also highly recommend cleaning the menus before giving it to folks, both of the menus we received had food stuck to it and tomato sauce (I think?) all over the inside.

We split the crispy Brussels sprouts with bacon and an order of meatballs. Our food came out quickly, and tasted great! Staff was friendly and helpful.
