in the last week"We went to Lou Malnati's Pizzeria and ordered the classic medium with extra pepperoni for two of us. It was really good — the crust was buttery and flaky, the sauce had a nice tang to it, and they definitely didn’t skimp on the pepperoni,sausage and cheese. That being said… it was SO filling. We barely made a dent in it. If you’re just two people, I’d honestly recommend going for the smaller size unless you’re starving or want leftovers. Overall, really solid deep dish and definitely worth trying — just pace yourself 😅🍕"

We ordered two deep dish pizzas and they were rich and flavorful, but I realized deep dish just isn’t my personal favorite style. The salads were fresh but the standout dish — the one I’d absolutely come back for — was the Chicago-style meatballs with burrata and giardiniera. Absolutely incredible! The wait was about 45 minutes, but the lively atmosphere made it fun and part of the overall experience. Great food, friendly service, and a must-try spot for the full Chicago pizza adventure."

So let me say this the place was clean, the people beyond friendly, the service was incredible, the food was good. We tried the garlic bread it was damn good. We also got a salad and pizza. All of the food was good!! But to be honest what stood out the most to us was the service we got. A gentleman waited on us, wish we would have gotten his name but he was kind of enough to walk us through the menu. I know there are several in the city and I can only speak for thus one. But I highly recommend it! Next time we are in town we will definitely stop in. Thanks for a good dining experience!!"

It comes out perfect 👌 the meats, the bread, the sauce were all top notch. The restaurant itself is really nice inside, which stood out in a city of casual pizza joints. This a place any deep dish lover has to try."

The quality made the price worth it as the pizza was cheesy and all the toppings were fresh. Also was a nice experience having a beer and waiting for the pizza. Would recommend!"
