I've always loved the pizza here but on occasion it doesn't always meet its own previous standards. was there three weeks ago with 5 others and ordered two pizzas well done, the pepperoni was fine but the dough on the inside of the sausage pizza was kind of raw. Maybe the chef wanted both pizzas to come out at once but we would not have minded waiting a . longer to have it come out right. our server was good and we will still be back

Louisa’s is my entire family’s and my favorite pizza. Old school, comfortable atmosphere where you can come with a date or entire extended fam. Started with my grandpa and to his kids, to us grandkids. Special salad is also amazing!

A friend of a friend recommended this place. The inside had a good atmosphere although the tables were up against a banquet wall sideways. I guess its easier when large parties come to just turn them. The waiter was nice when we asked for recommendations. He stated the pizza, Bolognese sauce, and lasagna as most ordered. Also that the pasta was made in house which is always a plus. I am not a fan of pizza other than NY style so I steered clear of that. We ordered the lasagna and the Bolognese with spaghetti. I always have my garlic powder in my purse and again was thankful that I had. The bolognese sauce was meaty but lacked flavor and needed help. The lasagna was slightly better. The pasta itsself was good. Both portions were enough to take home. Probably won't be back but others seem to enjoy it as they have been in business for a while.

My wife and I tried the pizza and we are very disappointed in it. First we had the minestrone soup. It was bland and tasteless. No wonder there is Italian seasonings with salt and pepper and cheese. I tried my best to make it taste better than what was served. We ordered the garlic bread that was decent as far as taste. Then we get our pizza and my wife and I are wondering where the cheese it on the pizza? It was sausage and dough and tomato? Cheese was barely on the pizza. I ate here in 1997. It was a way better product then. Whoever bought this place and ruined it needs to look at the quality because soup was bland. Pizza was awful and at that I am still wondering where the cheese was? Great service as we had a great waiter. But this place was terrible as far as food. WHERE WAS the CHEESE? Seriously! Buyer be where because this place isn't worth trying. Ownership needs to relook at the food and wonder why people give you bad reviews. This was the worst pizza and soup I've ever eaten. I gave you one star because you have very good waiters. But I came for the food. I'm never coming back and I plan to let people know because they have asked me is this place any good. And my answer will be absolutely not. Curtis listen to people here are stating the same thing as I have. The product needs help. I don't care if you're the original owner. You weren't listening. The minestrone soup was bland and tasteless. The pizza had barely any cheese on it. If it's a DUE's or lou malinati pizza you're not doing it any justice at all by serving tasteless food. Own it and fix the issues or you're gonna be closing your doors. Because the quality of your food is awful. Curtis take some ownership and fix these problems. They are real issues and I'm sure you are tired of hearing them. But what are you doing to bring me back into your restaurant. Nothing I guess. If you continue to serve food that's sub par your customers will go elsewhere. In all of Illinois and Chicago there is a Mecca of pizza. Your pizza and soup really need help. You don't want a guy like me speaking up in your restaurant. If I did do that it wouldn't have gone well. I know food and yes I'm a chef and what was served was awful. At that I have had better pizza and soup at better establishments. Your restaurant needs to relook at the product your serving.

In response to the managers response....stop it, you are not using the same recipe. A lot has changed. The dough is the biggest standout to me. Your pizza went from the best and worth paying the premium to absolutely awful and nit chance I pay that premium. I put up a response in defense of your business when i saw the recent 1 star reviews. In reality i havent been there in a while. I ended up picking up some pizzas and they were terrible. Clearly you dont know what has changed but i would figure it out. I will not return. Sad. Does that make sense to you, Mgr?
