    Visited from CA, and this is definitely our go-to spot whenever we're craving deep-dish pizza! It never disappoints. The service is always spectacular, and this time we ordered a salad, two pastas, and the large classic deep dish. I absolutely love their salad, and the pastas were delicious too! Everything was so good, and we'll definitely be back! Ambiance is nice with seating in two floors upstairs and downstairs!

    Great location. Nice patio seating (not outside but nice). Pizza was really good and sangria was spectacular! We were there for happy hour prices which were very good. Servers were friendly and service was fast. Great experience!

    Large deep dish, half cheese and half Malnati Chicago Classic
    Micaela R.

    Used to come to this location a lot growing up, so was glad to finally visit once again. The indoor vibes are still the same, the same creaky stairs, cozy wooden colors, and classic 80s/90s sports-adjacent decor, definitely making me feel right at home! My best friend and I got large deep dish pizza, half cheese and half the Malnati Chicago classic with buttercrust. The cheese was so gooey and the warmth from the pizza was comforting after a long day. The sausage on the pizza was savory and paired well with the acidity of the tomato sauce. The buttercrust was heavenly and cripsy. Definitely one of my favorite food places of all time, they never miss

    Make sure you have reservations for large groups. They will take good care of you. We had their thin vegetable pizza and a thin crust cheese pizza. Plus the appetizer platter. My son loved the mozzarella cheese puffs. Our server was very attentive and refilled our drinks and overall pleasant. I enjoyed our birthday party at Lou's. My son loved it as well. The only downside is that to get upstairs they don't have elevators and one of our guest recently had surgery and going upstairs was out of the question. We still had fun. Check them out. They have lots of parking too.

    This was my first time trying Chicago deep dish pizza. I was very impressed with this pizza place as the sausage topping was very different from what I expected! The sausage shopping was basically like a sausage patty that covered the whole diameter of the entire pizza. I did forget which one we did order. it was one with like tomatoes and spinach and like a mushrooms or something and it was on the menu. We just added on the sausage patty. The service was very great. It looks seemed like everybody there was working together as a team, everyone was very helpful in servicing our table and we could ask anyone for anything and they were willing to help and it was very nice of them. The restaurant is very homey and very cozy. It is also very busy in there. I will say it's worth a shot to try this place!

    We are visiting from out of town to see family, and our very first stop had to be Lou Malnati's. Every time we come to the Chicago area, we cannot leave without making a stop at Lou's, it's a must. We ordered the large Malnati's Chicago Classic along with the Malnati salad, and both were outstanding. The deep-dish pizza had that perfect buttery crust, layers of melted cheese, a flavorful sausage patty, and fresh tomatoes on top, exactly what Chicago pizza should be. We all had one piece and it was so filling, we had leftovers to take with us. The Malnati salad was incredible as well. The sweet vinaigrette and Romano cheese dressing was amazing and paired perfectly with the fresh, crisp ingredients. Lou Malnati's never disappoints, and it continues to be a tradition every time we're in town. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Chicago or craving true deep-dish pizza. It's our go to, favorite pizza place in Chicago.

    Came here and got some of the best pizza I've ever had. This "butter crust" is amazing and I love it. I'm super happy I tried out their signature deepdish pizza. 100% worth it

    Terrible...I was sooo looking forward to your pizza. Very disappointed. Wasted $20 bucks!

    Personal pizza was the worst I've had. Hell the ones you ship to my house in Florida are way better than what I just had! Terrible, crust seemed like it was a week old. Pretty sad, as it is not very day day I'm in Chicago.

    Lou's traditional pizza's are all really good. The Lou deep dish we ordered was delicious and we loved it! The butter crust was really flavorful and rustic. The fresh ripe tomatoes on top really added a nice touch. Where I was really disappointed with the speciality buffalo pizza, they more than delivered on the traditional menu listed pizza offerings. All their pizzas are really good. I think because I ordered the "buffalou" specialty the first day it was on the menu, they may have had to work out the pizza techs a bit when creating them in the kitchen. The Italian beef was excellent. The beef was so tender and they generously packed meat and peppers on the bread. Very good with the au jus on the side. In any case the pizzas are always hot, service is always very good and they follow-up with you if there's any issue with your order to make it right. Carryout area is fast and efficient.

    We haven't had Lou Malnati's pizza in years so we were really excited to be able to visit again. We were not disappointed! This location is quaint and fun, and our server was amazing. The pizza, OMG delicious. We live on the west coast so this was a special treat for us. Highly recommend!

    Medium Deep Dish Sausage - No Tomato Sauce
    Kathleen L.

    My favorite deep dish pizza!!! This is a great place to celebrate a special event or date night! Great food and service. Our waiter was so nice and he kept checking in with us... keeping our drinks full and even putting the pizza on our plates for us... not just when we first got the pizza but also when we needed another piece. We highly recommend dining here! I cannot eat tomatoes because it causes arthritis pain for me... love that we were able to order the pizza without the sauce!!! So yummy!!

    Personal deep dish- Sausage & Mushroom
    Nick G.

    We are former "Illinoisans" and have always loved Lou's. I can now say with confidence that the Roselle location is the best!! This pizza really defines "Chicago style." I had a personal deep S/M and it was FANTASTIC!!!

    Janice R.

    This place was suggested by locals. We went early to avoid the crowd. We were seated immediately and loved the view. The waitress took over 10 minutes to approach the table which we didn't understand. They weren't busy. All 3 of us had different personal pizza's and loved them. No offer was made to refill drinks and it took a long time to get the checks. Food is great and service is mediocre.

    They took soup off the menu and the change the French fries. The restaurant was very cold since they were using portable air conditioners.

It says authentic Italian deli all over it. Not in a pretend way, but in an authentic way. The service is warm and welcoming. The list of sandwiches is abundant. There is something for every taste bud. I ordered the Al Pacino and my son a tuna sandwich. The portions are huge, the meat is fresh, thinly sliced and piled high. I smell it through the bag and couldn't wait until I got home to taste it. With the first bite, I was absolutely blown away. There is no comparison because the flavors out performs every sandwich shop in the area. We both enjoyed our sandwiches and I know I will certainly return again and again. What a wonderful gem!

Hands down a great establishment. We'll be ordering again!! 5*

Indio Chinese is good, definitely recommend. Pav bhaji was below par, but my expectations for pav bhaji is very high.

I feel the only issue I had is with once they allowed me to order food at the counter and pay later and then the second time we were there the guy wanted money upfront I felt like I am not going to runaway. Overall a positive place, good location and perfect desi taste. Will visit them again.
