    Loved the Malnati salad. Our party had a deep dish, thin crust and crustless pizza. First two were great. Not a fan of crustless which was so strong sausage it overwhelmed cheese and tomato.

    Great food and fast service on drinks and food! They’re very upfront that the pizza takes a while but it all seemed timely anyway! So so good!

    Crust was tasteless and cheese was not melted. Salad was mostly lettuce and full of salad dressing. Not work the wait.

    We did a taste test against Giordanos and Lou Malnattis won hands down! The sauce was better and the crust was absolutely delicious. Delicious deep dish Chicago style pizza!

    Long wait for some. Not me, I had a reservation through OpenTable. Of course the Chicago Deep Dish was GREAT - after all, it's LOU MALNATI'S. Great service from Zoe. This is a must have delight when I come to Chicago!

    We had an early dinner and had the Malnati Chicago Classic pie and the Malnati Salad. I didn't have high expectations coming from New York but thought it was pretty good considering that it was the right about of sausage, cheese and tomato sauce although I didn't care for the buttercrust. Our server was friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home.
