My first time having Chicago pizza! Unfortunately, I came when I wasn't too hungry so I couldn't really enjoy my pizza. My friend (a big pizza-lover!) however, enjoyed it very much! We actually split a medium between 4 people and had leftovers (we had a salad and some garlic bread as a appetizer). I'd definitely come back the next time I'm in Chicago! Save your stomach before you arrive!
Review Source:What else is there to say? Â This is simply the best deep dish pizza, period. Â Their delivery, while it takes 40-60 minutes, is worth the wait and we've never had an issue with them. Â When you have folks from out of town and want to let them try true Chicago style pizza, this is where you need to order from. Â Everyone else is a wannabe.
Review Source:Yea, I picked-up a large deep-dish large spinach today (at the Park Ridge carry-out) and it was three quarters dough!!! I have never seen so much dough and so little toppings. Maybe the chef was having a bad day or are they trying to keep prices the same and cutting back elsewhere like other food manufactures...don't get me started.
Review Source:It's funny I have never ever thought much on pizza, however I do have to say that going to this pizzeria made me think differently. My co-worker and I decided to get away from our subway diet for a day and boy was this a treat. The sad part is that we should have called ahead because we had to wait 30 minutes, but it would scare me if the pizza was done and ready when I arrived getting bacteria all over it lol. Now when we finally got our pizza it was by far some of the best pizza I have ever tasted in my life, the crust was so different then what I am used to, and the pizza melted in my mouth, God just thing about it now makes me want to drive there and get some now. This pizza is so good and so well known that when I left a piece in the lunch room two of my other co-workers were actually fighting over it lol. I have to say the price is a bit pricey, but definitely worth the investment, those guys take pizza seriously :)
Review Source:Being a fan of NY Pizza and never tried a Chicago type pizza, I ate here for Lunch one day. It's a different type of Pie as they call it eating with a knife and fork but it was good. Very deep dished, with thick layers of cheese and toppings with sauce on top. You only can have a slice or two.
Review Source:This is a review for this location's excellent catering execution.
I was hosting an event for approximately 120 persons. The catering team's phone and online communication is courteous, responsive, friendly, and professional. I was incredibly impressed by their prompt replies and taking the initiative to reach out to me in a timely manner whenever any issues or developments arised.
When the catering order was finally delivered, the delivery man was so helpful and kind. He not only delivered the order from the car to the door, but also refused to let me push the cart that we had loaded all the food onto by myself, and ended up pushing the cart all the way to the event site, which is about a three minute walk away. Not only that, but he stayed to help us set the food up onto the tables, and gave spot-on instructions about how to serve the food.
The food was hot and delicious.
Initially, I had explored other venues to cater from, including Portillo's to go with our Chicago- focused theme. However, Lou's incredible communication and $2 catering delivery fee really won me over (Portillos charges $50 to deliver catering orders, charges for cutlery and serving supplies whereas it is FREE from Lou's, and took a week to respond to my order request while Lou filled the request immediately).
I will definitely look to Lou's to fulfill my catering needs in the future.
Haven't ordered pizza from here in quite some time because it seems like it was getting worse and worse. Ordered last night. Pizzas weren't ready even close to on time which was okay. It was Friday night. The guy apologized when he handed them to me. Okay, thanks. I cracked open the box on the way home to have a piece. Pizza was ice cold. To top it off, the pizza was overdone. Almost broke my teeth on it. Totally bland. No spices. There was so little sauce on it, I was wondering if they forgot to put it on. I'm done with Lou's. It has gone totally downhill over at this location over the past two years. Too much great pizza in the area to pay for an expensive pizza that Jack's grocery store pizza is better than...
Review Source:Tiny location basically only good for take out or delivery. The staff is semi-friendly and the pizza is pretty good. My family an I got the deep dish plain cheese pizza and my mom loved it. I wasn't particularly picky. It seemed pricey so I would only order it again if it's in high demand, otherwise I wouldn't go out of my way.
Review Source:Definitely the place to go to when you're craving some amazing pizza. The cheese is delicious and they have some of the best crust I've ever had, on both the deep dish and especially the thin. The only thing that bothers me is the use of sausage patties instead of chunks in their stuffed pizza. Kinda weird for me.
Review Source:love Lou's and have been eating this pizza for over 20 years but have the say the quality at the Park Ridge location (specifically) continues to diminish over the years. Will not order from this location anymore. Will drive an extra 15 minuites to the (original) Lincolnwood location to get a decent pizza!
Review Source:Lou's has a gluten-free pizza option, but it's far from the best. Â Even so, it's the only location close to home that provides the gluten-free option, so my husband is stuck with it during parties or other mass events. Â For the gluten-free crust, Lou's uses a sausage patty (you know, the same kind of circle, man-hole shaped sausage covering that they put on top of their stuffed pizza). Â This sausage crust is very thick and dense, along with being pretty darn fattening and filling. Â As I stated, it's definitely not a great option, but as my husband typically says, it's an option and he's just grateful he can eat something. Â Lou's should look into Pizza Fusion (only location in Chicagoland is in Naperville, but I've only dined at the location in L.A.) and what they are doing with Rice Crust. Â Pizza Fusion gluten-free pizza is great, I don't even need to eat gluten-free, and I loved it. Â
The regular, gluten-full pizza (stuffed or thin, though I much prefer the thin) at Lou's is pretty fabulous and one of my favorites in Chicagoland.
All deep dish is an acquired taste and my wife has won me over the the Lou camp. Â Are there any other kinds of deep dish pizza? For better or worse not in our family.
This place is takeout only. Â Order the sausage or (my favorite) The Lou for veggies and get it well done.
Four stars for only takeout only zero atmosphere storefront.
Until last night, I had never tried Lou's thin crust. Â Really. Â The verdict? Â Pretty freakin' good.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that the crust on the thin pizzas is a similar version to that on the deep dish pies. Â The crispy, buttery crust would give Lou away anyday in a blind taste testing. Â YUM!
Park Ridge is a delivery/carry out location only. Â My order was ready a bit early, and the pick up process and service was friendly and efficient. Â Now excuse me while I go munch on leftover pizza for lunch!
I've had Gino's, Uno's, Giordano's... there is nothing as good as Lou's! They have the most amazing crust that melts in your mouth, the sauce is amazing with nice chunks of tomato, and they have a wide range of toppings. My favorite is the Lou: spinach, tomatoes, cheddar and mozzarella cheese- it is AMAZING. Be sure to order a salad- it's a great start to your high calorie meal- but SO worth it!
Review Source:Order today as we do every other Friday at the office and it hit the spot like always. The product is consistent, fresh and simply one of the best pizzas out there. My only complaint: The Park Ridge location is open for lunch only on Friday which means it's gotta be the end of the week for us to enjoy. Perhaps its even better because we have to wait. Thanks Lou!
Review Source:I don't care what the polls say...this IS Chicago pizza!!
Thick, buttery, yummy crust.
Plenty o' saaaassage.
Goooooooey cheese.
Their phone number is programed into da hubby's cell phone...enough said.
Thank GOD we are not in their delivery zone.
"We'd be ooorderin' a couple two, tree times in da week!!"
NOTE: This location is for take-out or delivery only.
As far as I am concerned, there is no other deep dish pizza. This little place is great for taking some home. If you want to dine in and get the original Lou experience go to the one on Lincoln.
Do not consume Lou's if you have a heart condition or prone to fainting upon ingestion of tons of cheese.
This is a delivery and carry out location - can't eat here. Â And has a partial menu compared to the full menu/service restaurants. Â Still, very consistent in their deep dish and thin pizzas - you like deep dish with a layer of sausage (wheel of meat, a former exec would say) and then your choice of other items, its probably the best in Chicago. Â Thin pizzas a good too with the nice tomato pizza sauce that puts Papa John's and Pizza Hut to shame, though it doesn't compare with Barnaby's, but that's a different review...
Don't do delivery since they are prejudice towards DPers (just joking), so I pick up and never had a long wait, even at peak hours.
Need good pizza, no nonsense or fancy ambience? Well, you get both at this Lou Malnati's. It's so tiny that it does not offer the full Lou's menu of other places. However, I've ordered catering from here twice, plus numerous pizzas on occasions I did not want to go out or just wanted a nice deep dish to enjoy at home.
While all of Lou's pizza varieties are excellent, I order the deep dish with mushrooms and onions about 90% of the time. Takes 35-40 minutes usually but it's always on-time and fresh. Never had a wrong order in 2 years+ coming here.
Once you call in and get into their system, they can identify you as a regular with caller ID and ordering is that much quicker. Combine that with the Blockbuster in the same mall, and you got yourself an at-home date night of movie and pizza to go!
When I was a little kid growing up in Schaumburg in the 70s, for a special treat my Dad would sometimes stop on his way home from work at the Lou's in Elk Grove (it was the second of two locations at that time) and bring home their magic deep dish pizza. Â THOSE WERE SPECIAL NIGHTS! Â
Now that I'm a grown-up, I stop at this place on my way home from work in the suburbs. Â THIS PIZZA IS BETTER THAN ANY OTHER! Â You have to get sausage no matter what- it's an entire layer of sausage in the pizza- like a great big, round, thin sausage patty is layered into the thing. Â I get the low-fat cheese too- it tastes exactly the same, but with a tiny bit less guilt. Â Add spinach and mushrooms and I'm one happy pigger-outer! Â You will be too!
Sometimes I just don't want to go to and sit in a Lou Malnati's restaurant. Don't get me wrong, I love their pizza. I just want to "carry-out." Well, I found a great "branch" of Lou Malnati's as a carry out store here. No frills, just go in and get great pizza. Just like the original Lou's but ya bring it home. Hey, and on weekends, they put out pizza "samples" for you to enjoy.
They are located in Village Green strip mall, next to the cleaners on the left end (facing south). Pickup parking in front of the store.
