    Small Thin Crust Meatball
    Laurence P.

    Lou Malnati's is one of my favorite pizza places, and when I saw they had a new limited time pizza, I just had to try it! It did not disappoint! Got the thin crust because that's my preference but they also have it in deep dish! Try it out before it's gone!

    It was delivered it a wet box with all the toppings on one side nothing on the other. Besides it was cold. Really disappointed.

    Spoke with Jeff he told me I need to order my pizza drained from now on?? I was not aware that was a thing. He asked if we may have dropped the pizza to cause this. Again that did not happen. Not a great response from management. Greg was not in he handled the situation much more professionally last time this occurred.

    I love this place and drove all the way from NY to visit my Dad and HAD to stop here on the first night. I get bad heartburn so I can't eat pizza like that and had to risk it ALL. It's so good! The Lou is flavorful with a seasoned spinach and the plain is perfect both have a buttery crust and you will impress me if you can finish more than one slice. We got the small and still brought back pizza home for the next day as it is super filling. Our server Cheyenne was super helpful and had an outstanding personality. Everything was fresh and tasty and the establishment is going under construction so the front outdoor seating is closed but the back patio was perfect for us. Def gonna stop by before I head back to NY to pick up one of there frozen to go pies.

    It's easy to order on their website or app. The pizza was ready by the promised time. The pizza always tastes great every time. It's my favorite pizza place.

    slices of pizza

    Very disappointed with this 95th Street location. I love Lou's but this place should just stop making pizza! My wife ordered 2 pizzas on Fathers Day and they both came out horrible. After calling to update management. I was told a credit for the order was issued but it never happened. Called to follow up and he just continued to lie and say the credit was issued. Later in the conversation he said he mailed it to me?? This place is ridiculous and needs to stop killing the Lou name. This what a 30 pizza looks like... No

    That's it.... take out only

    Are you hungry for a delicious new pizza?!!! You have to try their SAUSAGE CRUST PIZZA There's NO BREAD in the crust, just delicious sausage! If you're on a low Carb diet - this is it!!! Man does it taste GREAT! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. I'm not sure if it's available at all of the restaurants but it is here. GET SOME!

    Literally sopping wet

    I love this pizza. Carry out is great. Delivery - something went wrong with my pizza maybe?? Idk. It was literally so wet and soggy, even the box was completely soaked, so I'm sure you can imagine the crust. Sad. Pick it up if you want your pizza to be good.

    T-Dot is begging for a Malnatis location.  "Chicago Classic" and "The Lou" delivered uncut everytime they travel down.

    Just threw a party with 40+ people at this location and I cannot say enough great things about this…read morerestaurant! The staff was so accommodating and helpful; I had never thrown a party myself before and they made everything a breeze. Super well organized, such a fun space, and people are still raving about the food! Our server was attentive the whole time and did a great job, which is not easy with a group of that size. I absolutely recommend Paisan's for everything from a date night out to a family party. This place has you covered!

    We decided to come here since the food at the Brookfield location was solid. The service was like…read moremeh. Our server Victor was gone half the time. However, when I asked for a water refill or a new plate, he got it. I would say average but not above average service. We ordered dragon fries, baked ziti, and supreme pizza with the caramelized crust. Overall this is like a 3. 3 for me is a one and done. I wanted to try a new pizza place but this was a disappointment. -dragon fries 5 - this was good. The sauce is tangy with some spice. It's not super spicy but this would go well on wings. -baked ziti 2 - I had a lot of pasta and this one was one of the worst. The noodles tasted a bit too rubbery, it should be softer. The sauce had no flavor. -supreme pizza 3 - maybe I should have gotten the tavern style because the supercharged pizza tasted doughy and kind of bland. I even reheated it on my pizza stone at home and it does taste better with a crispier crust. However, it was still mid.

    Came to Fiammé for a business dinner. I started with one of their mules, which was pretty decent,…read morejust a standard mule. We also shared the arancini as an appetizer. I've had some really great arancini before, and these were alright. The sauce was the highlight, with a nice flavor and a slight kick to it. We were told the pizzas were personal-sized, so everyone in our group ordered their own. When they arrived, they were huge. I went with the Fredo, a more traditional-style pizza, and it was pretty solid with good toppings and flavor. Others at the table ordered the Detroit-style pizzas, and they looked incredible, I wish I had taken some photos. The general consensus was that the pizzas were a bit too bready, but they had good flavor, great presentation, and a nice crispy crust. Service was okay. It took a while for our server to take our order, and I wish we had been advised to share a few pizzas instead of ordering individually. We all ended up taking most of our pizzas to go, but with dinners planned throughout the rest of the trip, they unfortunately didn't get eaten later. Overall, a decent spot with solid pizza and generous portions.

    In the ongoing saga of trying to find a restaurant that works for all three of us: my vegan wife,…read moreme (a very NOT vegan) and our picky 8-year old, tonight's episode took place at Fiammé in downtown Naperville. Its very hard to find spots that can accommodate our very particular palates, and even more hard to find good vegan options outside of the city. Thats why I was excited to find this lovely Italian restaurant. The parking lot is small but there's a good amount of sidestreet parking. The inside is warm, cozy and super clean (including the restrooms ). The hospitality stood out right away. The owners and wait staff were very welcoming, and our server was fantastic; honest (which I appreciate), knew the menu well, and once she realized our situation, gave us some wonderful direction on what to order. I wouldn't say that the menu is overwhelming, but I rarely go to a restaurant where it takes me that long to decide what I want. There are lots of interesting options, from braised short rib ravioli to baked ziti, and several tasty appetizers (highly recommend the calamari). But we had come for the PIZZA. My daughter got the kids cheese pizza. It was surprisingly bigger than we thought, and at a great price. The kid only ate half before she said, "I like it...this might be better than [insert famous Chicago pizza brand]." (you MUST KNOW that this is high praise from a 3rd grader). My wife ordered the "They Don't Have Beef With Me" vegan Detroit-style pizza, and I have to admit, it was very good. Somehow they pulled off a buttery (but not butter) crust with melty vegan cheese (but NOT cheese ). Absolutely nailed it. I would have eaten more of hers if I hadn't ordered the Butcher pizza from the wood-fired menu. It was OUTSTANDING. Great flavor, perfect texture. Easily one of thee best wood-fired pizzas I've ever had. We're not drinkers, but they do have a good wine list and some nice zero-proof options, including the Amber Apple and The Drip. We didn't make it to dessert, mostly because the portions are generous, so our bellies (and our to-go boxes) were full. We will definitely be back to try other menu options and for dessert. If your family or friend group includes picky palates or dietary restrictions (the pizzas can be made gluten-free as well), then run...don't walk...to Fiammé. 100/10 recommend.
