    A terribly made pizza

    Order this tonight spent a decent amount of money on this and it is completely undercooked all sloshed over to one side. This is the second time it has happened so and I'm already done ordering from here.

    Delivery box with deliciousness inside!

    Visiting from the DC Metro area for my daughter's wedding this weekend. Big pizza lover, have always wanted to try Lou Malnati's as well as a few other big well known places, was excited this was an option this weekend! Ordered delivery online, very easy website to navigate. Just the boyfriend and I staying at our hotel, so just one pizza to order, decided on a large deep dish, regular cook, with jalapenos all over, sausage on one half, pepperoni on the other. Took a little over an hour on a weekend evening, I thought that was very fair considering I make Chicago style deep dish at home and it takes at least 45 minutes to bake in a non commerical oven. Pizza arrived piping hot, uncut per their recommendation, perfectly cooked. Pepperoni is my true love when it comes to pizza toppings, especially when paired with jalapenos, but man, that sausage was the bomb! If we lived here this would *absolutely* be a minimum once a month order. I look forward to my next visit here (alas, probably not for another year) to try them again!

    Lou's, the best deep dish - if you have the sausage! The sausage is the original and only slab-style deep dish. Delish!

    One of the best tasting pizzas around. We usually order thin crust well done and it's perfect! The wings are great as well.

    Hidden in plain sight in Lake Villa, this Italian restaurant is the kind of unassuming neighborhood…read moregem critics quietly root for. It isn't flashy, it isn't loud, and it doesn't pretend to be anything other than what it is: a place that consistently serves excellent food at fair prices. In the Lakes region--where Italian options can feel uneven--this spot rises confidently to the top. On my most recent visit, I was seated immediately at a corner table, a small but meaningful luxury in an age of hour-long waits. The dining room, typically hushed enough for actual conversation, again delivered one of its underrated pleasures: a peaceful meal without the intrusive din that plagues so many suburban restaurants. Service followed suit--friendly, attentive, and genuinely eager to help, never hovering or rushing. The kitchen remains the star. My spaghetti with vodka sauce was outstanding--rich, balanced, and among the best renditions I've had anywhere in the region. Other entrées at the table echoed the same strengths: sauces with clarity and depth, pastas cooked with confident restraint, portions generous without tipping into excess. Cocktails, too, arrived promptly and properly mixed, further reinforcing the sense of a kitchen-and-bar team that takes pride in their craft. If there is a shortfall, it lies in the ambiance. The room carries a certain charm, but the décor feels a step behind the quality of the food. A refresh of tables, finishes, and overall presentation would elevate the experience from very good to genuinely special. The warmth is there--the aesthetics simply haven't caught up yet. Even so, the value proposition is undeniable. For reliably excellent Italian cuisine, low noise, easy seating, earnest service, and honest pricing, this restaurant more than earns its "highly recommended" status. It is, in every meaningful way, Lake Villa's little culinary treasure.

    Galati's continues to deliver good food for a reasonable price. There are sandwiches, pizza and of…read morecourse their delicious pasta dishes. The people there are always welcoming and happy to see us. It's very much a family business. Tables are tight and they usually have sports on the two tvs in the dining room. It's a place we return to time and time again.
