I needed to kill a few hours before I could check into my hotel. Their butter crust was divine! The bartender was friendly and fast.
Ordered a deep dish Chicago classic to go. Happy belly!
A fantastic pizza joint serving thing crust and deep dish with gluten free options available. Great drinks and even better pizza.

Lou Malnati's Pizzeria offers a lively atmosphere and delicious deep dish pizza, making it a must-visit for anyone in Chicago. Reservations are recommended, and pre-ordering the pizza is advised to avoid long wait times. The restaurant is located on Michigan Ave, providing easy access to the vibrant city surroundings. The staff is friendly and goes above and beyond for a good experience, even communicating with guests via OpenTable to accommodate late arrivals. While service can be just okay at times, many reviewers highlight the exceptional customer service during busy periods. Guests should be prepared for a wait of around 90 minutes for a table and about 45 minutes for the pizza, but many feel it is worth the time and money. The ambience is suitable for lunch, though some visitors might prefer a different setting for evening dinners. Overall, Lou Malnati's is highly recommended for those wanting to try authentic Chicago deep dish pizza, with many planning to return for both the food and the experience.
The reviews mention that the Cesar salad is large and surprisingly delicious, though some find the dressing a bit heavy. Guests can enjoy a gluten-free deep dish pizza, which was very impressive. The original deep dish pizza from Chicago is also highly praised, with the flavors and the attentive service from the staff being highlighted. Reservations are respected, and the food, including the three cheese bread with dipping sauce, is excellent.
