Deep Dish Cheese pizza
Divya R.

Heard from lot of folks about one of the best places for Deep dish Chicago style pizza so reserved the place for a small event. Directions/location was easy. Good sized parking and was quite full but there were still good amount of spots left. We ordered cheese, pepperoni, sausage - three varieties of pizza, pasta with marinara sauce and Malnati's salad. They served around one slice of pizza for each person asking to choose from one at a time. Salad was the best. Pasta was ok and pizza was nice ! Maybe I had high expectations, it was fine but nothing that I loved it and would come back to Chicago to have it again. It was just good to try the famous joints of Chicago with an average taste.

What a bunch of mendacious trash Lou Malnati's is feeding their "customers. Once a prominent restaurant figure in Chicago. Now the company has fallen on nefarious practices feeding off the natural nature of Chicagoan's thirst for a quality pizza. The pizza I received yesterday suffices the ownership of Lou Malnati's I guess!?! Let me show everyone what I received yesterday. Pictures don't lie. Dish of bread. Quality 1/10 bread

Really tasty!

Take out deep dish was really tasty. 1 pizza fed 4 adults and a toddler and had leftovers.

I recently ordered Lou Malnati online for delivery. Let me say, they have the best customer service ever. Our pizza arrived with sauce and cheese that slid into the box, which was not appetizing. I called the restaurant and spoke to the manager, he assured me a new pizza would be sent. It was more about how the door dash driver transported the pizza. The second pizza arrived hot and fresh. It was so good and tasty and cheesy. I would definitely recommend this place if you are in the area and know that they value their customers.

Poorly delivered pizza #1

Delivery, 12.23.23 Ordered via the Lous direct website for delivery. Large, butter-crust, well done, sausage and mushroom. The pizza was delivered, and it was leaking through the box. When I opened it, all of the toppings had slid off to one side. I contacted the restaurant and spoke with a very kind manager who explained that they are using Door Dash for deliveries because they're having trouble hiring drivers. Okay. He also offered to have the pizza remade and resent. I appreciated that. Unfortunately, the second pizza didn't come in much better shape, despite having a "handle with care" sticker on it. I didn't call and complain a second time because it's not going to make a difference, obviously. The manager did the right thing. Unfortunately, both pizzas came in poor condition and leaking through the boxes. Beyond that, there was something off about the flavor. It was very acidic, and not tomatoey, like, vinegary. I'm disappointed because I love Lous. I grew up on lous. We moved to this area earlier this year and this is the first time we've ordered lous, and I had a serious taste for it. I can't say that I trust ordering from this location unless I'm picking it up. Thanks for trying to the manager, I know they're navigating how to handle a driver shortage. Looks like door dash isn't the solution.

Good service. Easy ordering it on line. Had too much whole tomato chunks for me. I've had better pizza but all in all it ok

Pizza was delicious! Was disappointed they didn't have a sit down location here but the pizza. We didn't have to wait too long to get it and the restaurant was nice and clean.

Burnt cheese pizza
Natalie R.

Native Chicagoan and I was very disappointed in this pizza, not a lot of flavor at all. And my cheese pizza was a little over cooked with no cheese pull. For the amount of money I expected more.

Not as good as it was before the change in ownership. No more hot bread while waiting for pizza. Pizza was burnt.

Food that you don't have to feel bad about eating inside a Six Flags park is often hard to come by…read moreas most of it everywhere is just total junk but that's not the case here as Go Fresh is true to its name in many ways! Of the few choices here I had to go with the bacon chicken spinach wrap as it just sounded yummy on this very hot summer day and I must say it was actually super yummy in every way as everything inside tasted fresh as well as super packed with chicken bacon and veggies all wrapped up in a spinach wrap of goodness! We also ordered one of their marinated grilled chicken salads which also didn't disappoint as it was super big soo much so that my lady couldn't even finish it all the salad came in one of the spinach wraps that had been fried to resemble a tostada bowl which added a bit of zest when you broke it off to eat it with your salad! They offer a number of other gluten free and vegan options here which is awesome because a lot of parks don't have anything that is this dedicated to being fresh! Overall this is an awesome eatery inside Six Flags Great America that's not to be overlooked as it's some of the best food I found inside the park also don't forget that they accept Dinning Pass here so you can get some good food for your meal and not have to be stuck with the junk that will slow you down!

Two unisex bathrooms. First door I tried was locked. Okay, I tried second door, which swung open to reveal an employee sitting on the toilet. He yelped and I was startled too, let me tell you. I went back to waiting in line. My hometown JJ could have had our sandwiches made 3x by now but I'm still waiting here. An employee comes from the back and goes behind counter so I try for the bathrooms again. No dice. What's the guy doing in there?! Now I pick up my order from the only normal and alert-looking guy in the place. Another employee comes out of the back, but I bolted out of there fast. Still smelled weed as I left. Sandwiches were sub-par, too. (Shocker). I've been to a ton of JJ's as they are my favorite fast food when on the road. I've seen better and worse but this was the first one I've been to that was downright creepy.

Even though it took 25 minutes to get my order, the food was still HOT! Not warm, but HOT! And the drink was cold and undiluted! What?! Now the quality. Y'all, nobody told me these cheesesteaks were going to be so freaking good and with a GOOD amount of meat! The bread was SOFT! The onions were caramelized with just enough crunch left to give them character, but not enough for them to be acrid and offputting. That's not cheap cheese on it either. Not paseurized processed cheese product crap, but REAL CHEESE! I wanna know where they get their jalapenos because I want some for cooking at home. No lie. I don't know what kind of oil and season are used for the fries, but I'll make the trip out to Gurnee Mills just for a load of their fries. You would think it's hard to mess up fries, but almost every eatery in the area does. They should send spies into Charleys to discover how to do better. I'm doubling down on cardio for the next few days just for today's lunch. Worth it.

Service was just meh. However, the Cheesesteak was below standards from other Charleys locations…read more Does not match the pictures they have posted on their walls. The serving of meat for the regular size sandwich was very minimal. Look at the picture attached. Most embarrassing cheesesteak ever made. If you enjoy overpaying for bread and less meat, this place is for you. Don't recommend this place at all. Hard pass.

The food was served fast and both were very flavorful. Her meatball sub was hot (in temperature) and fresh and mine was hot (in spices) and fresh. Wow, that had quite the kick.
