Chicago has a rich, longstanding love affair with pizza, and loyal fans have lined up for over 30 years to enjoy Lou Malnati's deep-dish pies. From the time the first location opened in Lincolnwood in 1971, the family-owned and -operated business (now managed by sons Rick and Marc) has had the same goal: to provide a casual atmosphere with good food the whole family can enjoy.
Now with 21 city and suburban locations, Lou Malnati's serves up both pan and thin-crust pizza with the requisite toppings as well as a large selection of soups, salads, pastas and sandwiches. Signature stuffed spinach bread and cheese cubes are must-try appetizers, and both the gorgonzola chicken sandwich and antipasto salad serve as yummy pizza alternatives.
