Lou Malnati's is the quintessential pizzeria and I love the place with my heart. Awesome saucy and thick pizza with traditional ingredients, served hot and placed on your plates by the servers. Good service abounds at all their locations and the cornmeal touched crust is heaven.

If something could be better than wine, chocolate, sex and reality television COMBINED it would be the cornmeal crust Chicago pizza @ Lou's.

This is a wonderful restaurant with delicious pizza and it has a great atmosphere. I especially like the outside patio section that you can visit on warm days. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Best pizza in Chicago. This pizzeria is by far the best in Chicago. The tomatoes are fresh, the calamari is fried to perfection. The wait time is super long, but totally worth the wait. I order for pick up after waiting over one hour!!
