    Perfection in a pie
    Todd P.

    Perfection, as always! Nothing compares to Lou's classic deep dish with sausage and extra cheese! First time at this location and it has a great vibe with friendly and attentive staff. The manager even checked on us before and after the pizza came and the waitress was on top of drink refills and menu suggestions. Can't wait to return!

    Really delicious deep dish pizza and some tasty cocktails. Good decor and comfy Oak Park surroundings.

    Pizza to go

    This will be a fairly short review; I was in Chicago for the Frank Lloyd Wright Plus tour in Oak Park, so after finishing the tour I wanted to get a deep dish pizza before I headed out of town. Reviews of Lou Malnati's were good so I ordered a pizza to go using the website. Lou Malnati's Oak Park is located on the main drag of Lake Street near to Unity Temple; the restaurant is cool looking inside, very retro, dark and industrial. The takeout is located all the way in the back, by the parking lot, my pizza was ready and I got dried peppers and cheese along with a plate. On the way to my car I grabbed a seat at a bench nearby and enjoyed the pizza. I got a small the "Lou", a deep dish with spinach, mushrooms, garlic and tomato slices. The pie was delicious, the crust was good and the toppings and cheese were excellent. I ate about 1/4 of the pie before hitting the road and finished off the rest over the next couple days and actually enjoyed it even more since I liked the more well done version when I reheated the pizza. I really enjoyed the "Lou", an excellent version of a vegetarian deep dish pizza. a strong recommendation for Lou Malnati's.

    Waited at the front door a long time before I got sat a lady came in and the same thing happened the servers were in the back chatting not paying attention to the floor Service was BAD my server didn't ask if everything was fine never came around just dropped the food and walk away to be honest I was very disappointed Never eat there, food was good

    This Place sucks camel c*ck, the employees there seem to make the choice on who receives a pizza order and who does not. How can I place an order, pay and tip in advance, quoted 45-60 min. Then after an hour and and 15 min, they claimed they tried to contact me multiple times, HOW; when I called multiple times and they have my number saved. They are thieves.

    Ordered the thin crust pepperoni and it tasted great! The service was great, and Isabelle made this experience unforgettable.

    Despite that I usually go to the original in lincolnwood I was just too tired to drive that far. I have been to the Oak Park location and it's decent if not good. One thing I noticed for like the carryout locations for Lou malnati's the crust of the Chicago classic feels like you're eating a pretzel with butter. Hopefully Oak Park doesn't fail to do that despite being a newer location cuz they say it's the equipment similar to a cast iron frying pan where they say it gets better with age on the equipment they used to making the delicious buttery Pizza. Service was pretty friendly and quick. Ambience in this place is a lot more modern than feeling like a sports bar like at the one in Lincolnwood. Again I did not want to drive there despite that I like eating at the one in lincolnwood since I came from work but it was a tough choice between polish buffet and Lou malnati's but didn't want to travel all the way to Lincolnwood. This was closer to home however I did notice a difference for the Chicago classic here. You see when they put the sausage patties it's a lot bigger in the pizza. Another thing usually but they stop doing that even in the Lincolnwood location is they would put a plate to keep the pizza nice and hot they stop doing .

I loved that they had a small outdoor patio to enjoy the weather and be connected with the busy downtown. Their menu had starters, pastas, pizzas, and entrees in a curated format. They serve wine and beer regularly but have a rotating specials menu for cocktails and food. Our server let us know that the bruschetta rotates weekly which is cool. For mains, I got the Ricotta Gnocchi. All of that pastas are clearly homemade. The gnocchi was certainly pillowy and paired nicely with the creamy truffle sauce. My husband got the Orecchiette pasta which could have had a more prominent sauce to it. Overall, the pasta was fresh and ingredients tasted of good quality. The portions for price point seemed a little off as dishes didn't come with a bread basket nor side salad. I wish we would have gotten either a bit more pasta or something else to make the price feel of value. Either way, this was a nice spot to enjoy good company at. Our server, Nina, could not have been nicer and more attentive to our group.

Along with that endorsement, its 4.6-star rating out of 700+ via Uber Eats was the assurance I needed that I would have a quality experience. Looking through the menu, I took an interest in items like the Cheese Thin Crust Pizza (10" Small), Cheese Chicago Style Stuffed Pizza (10" Small), Vegetarian Pizza, Cheese Calzone, ravioli, Spaghetti, Gourmet Cheesecake, Chee-Zee Garlic Bread, and French Fries. Out of all that caught my eye, I ended up ordering their Cheese Thin Crust Pizza (10" Small) with pineapple as my topping after contemplating on spinach. Whether it be Grubhub or Uber Eats, I love ordering online because it is convenient. Most of the time my orders are completed upon my arrival or near complete. By the time I arrived at Waldo Cooney's, the employee was finishing up with my order during this ordering experience. Picking up was just confirming my name, ordering platform, and I was well on my way back to my residence. I am grateful to have had a smooth online ordering experience because the likelihood of me ordering online again is very high. For your information, Waldo Cooney's sits along a busy Cermak Rd, which you will have to keep an eye out for as you are driving up to the storefront. It can easily be missed if you are focused on the fast flow of the traffic on Cermak Rd. And keep in mind you will have to pick the right timing when pulling out your vehicle while leaving because those incoming vehicles on Cermak Rd are something else. As for my order, my mouth salivated prior to my first bite of the Cheese Thin Crust Pizza I ordered. It was presented perfectly, with pineapples infused in with the cheese, and cut into small squares. Very satisfying taste! If you have never had the addition of pineapples on your pizza, then you have no clue what you are missing. Out of my favorite pizza restaurants within a radius, I can see myself ordering from Waldo Cooney's again while in the area because it sure was satisfying. In closing, I had a great ordering experience as I have indicated in this review of Waldo Cooney's Pizza. And as it was recommended to me by Elizabeth C, I share my endorsement of it as well with you all on yelp. Service: 5 | Ambiance: 5 | Food: 5 | Overall: 5 ~Keep it simple. ~ Thomas G

The restaurant was strangely silent. After waiting, I said "excuse me" and asked again if another pizza was coming out, but the employee acted as if I hadn't spoken at all. Meanwhile, one employee was sitting in the back on his phone, two cooks were simply walking around the cooking area, and another employee appeared to be on a personal phone call in the front. Despite several staff members being present, no one seemed interested in helping customers. Customer service is what keeps people coming back. People want to feel welcomed, acknowledged, and appreciated when they spend their money at a business. Unfortunately, that was not my experience today. Because of the poor customer service and lack of basic courtesy, I will not be returning. I will also be sharing my experience with my neighbors, my children, and their friends. There are plenty of restaurants that value their customers, and I would rather support businesses that treat people with respect.

The bread service was fantastic. The tomato focaccia and the baguette were both excellent and I had to remind myself not to fill up on it before the main meal! LOL!

For dinner I ordered the margherita pizza which was simple and delicious. I ended up ordering a second one to-go for my partner who couldn't make it to dinner. He also loved it - even after it sat for ~30 min or so while we chatted more, then drove home to the Maywood area. I would imagine their delivery is pretty good based on that! My mom had the rigatoni vodka with added crumbled Italian sausage which she loved, and my dad ordered the Marcelino. He loved the generous amount of seafood and how well seasoned it was. My parents are big wine drinkers and my dad was especially impressed with the wine list and the selection available. Oscar was an incredible server!!
