Editorial Review for Lou Malnati's Pizzeria – by J.P. Anderson
The Scene
Sports paraphernalia and framed jerseys from the likes of Magic Johnson and Ryne Sandberg hang on the walls in this local institution, staffed by a friendly crew and crowded with regulars in the dining room or at high tables in the bar.
The Food
Lou's deep-dish crust is buttery, flaky and thick; you'll want to use a knife and fork. Chunks of tomatoes boost the spicy-sweet sauce; the ample layer of zesty sausage (available in patty or chunk form) is far superior to the comparatively wimpy tasting pepperoni. There's no meat on the namesake "Lou," but not even carnivores can resist this hearty, heavenly combo of spinach, mushrooms, sliced tomatoes and a blend of mozzarella, Romano and cheddar cheeses. Deep dish isn't the only game in town--just try the crisp, delicious thin-crust pie. Lou also serves appetizers, soups, salads and sandwiches, and ships pizzas overnight to most cities.

Not the best pizza in Chicago, but still pretty good. I would recommend this place, at least to try... I wasn't disappointed. I guess if you follow hype, then you may be disappointed, but like I said, it was good.
