    Lasagna

    Pepinos originally from Calumet City was very well known for it's Italian beefs. This was not the case at the new location in Indiana. If you're looking for what that once was in Calumet City go to Portillo's. The fries are amazing! The lasagna sauce was good yet it could have used more meat. The ladies at the front desk were very nice and it was a very clean location. Overall, I give this place 2.5 stars out of 5. It's not the worst place to get this kind of food but again...there's a Portillo's right down the street. I'm just going there from now on.

    Combo sandwich- Italian beef and Italian sausage
    Cassie N.

    People ask me what I look forward to about coming home to Indiana and Italian beef sandwiches sit near the top of that list. I don't think people get it until they've tried one from northwest Indiana and Pepinos does it well! You can choose from Italian beef, Italian sausage or both. Your choice of cheese, mozzarella is standard. And then your choice of topping. I do giardiniera. Next time I might also try a side of red sauce. This shop was straight forward, clean, friendly, and delicious! Would happily return when back in town. Thank you!

    Italian Beef and Sausage Sandwich with Sweet Peppers and Side of Fries

    Good food. Reasonably priced. Huge Italian Beef Combo Sandwich - with sausage. Fries were really good for a pizza type place. Service was friendly and ridiculously fast.

    Beef sandwich dry.. hot peppers on the side FF... to die for!!!!!

    You never fail to disappoint!!!! FANTASTIC!!!! I'm not even going on and on, you must go here!! You MUST try this food!!! I've been going here since they were in Cal City and I'll follow them anywhere!!! The BEST beef sandwiches EVER!!! Service... eh. She could've been more friendly and a simple thank you for the tip? The kid who gave us our food... very very nice

    Thin crust pizza
    Rob H.

    I ordered this pizza on a lazy Sunday because I saw it had many great reviews. I always try out new pizza places, thin crust is my go to. Overall, I would give this place an "ok." The crust was hard and stale, but if you ate the pizza from the inside of the pie then it tasted great. One great thing from this place that I appreciated was the fast delivery time, so I will say that part was great.

    Pepperoni Pizza

    April 2021 - I found this place based on its Yelp reviews. We had a medium pepperoni pizza on a thin crust. The crust was hard enough to use a knife and fork. The cheap quality knife was worthless and painful to use. The sauce and pepperoni and cheese was excellent! This did not appear to be a hand tossed dough. There was no raised edge on the pizza. I had a side salad with ranch dressing and the salad was small but good. The drinks were self service and Coke products. The deli type service was also very good. Next time I will have pasta or a sandwich.

    The beef sandwiches are so good as well as their freshly cut fries. Their homemade hot pepper mixture is my favorite.

    Lou Malnati's Pizzeria - Supposedly to be a deep dish. More like a double crust with not much cheese.

    Lou Malnati's Pizzeria

    3.0(105 reviews)

    I've been enjoying Lou Malnati's pizza for well over 30 years. This is the first and last time I…read moreordered from the Schererville location. I prepaid the pizza for delivery and this is where my good experience stop being good. I always order the same thing consistently no matter what location whether I'm in LINKIN PARK Chicago or in the suburbs in Schaumburg wherever I order a Malnati's Chicago classic, that gives you sausage with extra cheese, deep dish with a butter crust. I was quoted an hour for delivery. The first thing that struck me was the six dollar delivery charge, but I really wanted the pizza and I was on a conference call so I could not leave to go pick it up. So an hour and a half later still no doorbell. I'm wondering where the pizza is so just for kicks, I go look outside the front door and loan to hold there is the pizza sitting on my porch. I get it in the house and it's ice cold literally almost frozen . Never mind you I spent over $55 for the stupid pizza including a good tip so I called the store. I ask for a manager and I asked the manager why on earth didn't they ring my doorbell when they came I mean, I've been ordering pizzas for over 50 years And they always every single time without doubt ring the doorbell when they deliver pizza the knucklehead delivery driver from Lou Malnati's decided not to ring the doorbell when it's 20° outside. When you drop almost $60 for a pizza, you expect it to be piping hot when it gets delivered not nice cold sitting on the porch because th driver didn't ring the doorbell. When I explain this to manager, I was not offered a coupon. I was not offered anything not even a sorry I got I don't know. I don't know why he would've done that. . The way my doorbell works. Is it rings all throughout the house? There is no way I missed it. They didn't ring the bell $10 tip and he couldn't ring the doorbell. That is beyond pathetic service hence my negative review and I will never order a pizza from that location ever again. It's simple look at their yelp reviews. It's not a good location. Save your money order from somewhere else.

    Lou Malnati's, how I have missed you. The locations close to my home in Carmel Indiana and Broad…read moreRipple have been permanently closed. So while I'm working nearby this week I am taking advantage of the Lou's location. I ordered my favorite deep dish cheese, with butter crust. Besides the pizza I love the Malnati salad with creamy lemon garlic dressing. My pizza was ready right on time. The pizza was very good, however, the cheese seemed rather skimpy as compared to the cheese deep dish pizzas I have had from all the other locations I have ordered from. Cheese deep dish is my usual order, so I know how much cheese should be on the pizza and this one was definitely not the usual amount of cheese. It was still good, just less than the usual amount of cheese.
