    Really tasty!

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

    Deep Dish Pepperoni
    Ryan B.

    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

    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.

    Deep Dish Cheese

    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
    Valerie D.

    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.

    It was okay if you like deep dish. I'm not a huge fan but their salad was really good.

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

    First time at MD's in a long time. Here are some of my thoughts:…read more -I wasn't sure what to expect, but when I looked at the menu, I was pleasantly surprised. -I ordered the pick two. I chose the "spuds" (twice baked potatoes), and southwest chicken & avocado salad. -The salad was not great--avocado was a bit mushy, the chile lime vinaigrette wasn't the best either. -The spuds were not what I normally think of as twice baked potatoes. The inside was more like mashed potatoes with gravy. I would not order this again. -It's a shame because the service was really good and friendly. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend.

    With St Patrick's Day coming up, my boyfriend and I were craving a Rueben. Where better to go than…read morea deli! We got there about 3 pm on Sunday (March 8) and the place was nearly empty. The turnaround from order to table was pretty quick...and we found out why. The one positive thing about their Rueben is that it was LOADED with corned beef...albeit room temperature and even pockets that were cold. The bread was only toasted; the sandwich is typically grilled. There was hardly any sauerkraut and the 1000 Island dressing was weird (tasted like there was some horseradish in it?), This is near Gurnee Mills so there is a dearth of other, better fast food options. Would maybe go again and try a different menu item...but with so many other options, it would be a last option (aka- everyplace else is closed so not likely). Very disappointing.

You aren't greeted as you walk in and you feel as if you're a bother even coming into eat although im the reason they have a job.. no business means no money means no hours... regarding this most recent visit and the reason I've decided to finally leave a review is because I've just had it. Walked in and was not greeted (typical from last time) waited 5 min to even be helped or asked what I wanted mind you there was no one upfront of me and no one was doing anything...when they finally asked what I wanted I asked are they speaking to me? I was just double checking because I had no interaction prior... I was responded with a rude "yes what do u want". I ordered my subs and as we get to the toppings I say "mikes way" when asked for the toppings. The kid looked at me as if I was stupid. I said "everything" to be clear, and when I said "everything" I meant, everything, I even waved my hand to show the entire spread of things. They decided to only put lettuce, oil and vin, and tomato not even the mikes way. So I spoke up and said "no I meant everything" they looked and just slapped the rest of the toppings on there carelessly. There is more to add but I don't want to waste more of my time. Won't be paying here a visit anymore. I believe it's a management issue because everyone there is the exact same.
