Pizza is of course one of the best Chicago Deep dish, and my favorite! Service is great. The staff puts extra effort into getting the order right and are always helpful if there is mistake, even if it's the customers'!
It’s been a while since I’ve left a review but I’m back now and this time we visited Chicago! We went to Lou Malnati’s Pizzaria! The had Great food, a friendly staff and a chill atmosphere to enjoy with friends and family ! I absolutely loved the Supreme Pizza, those fresh veggies hit the spot(that was my favorite)! We also tried the meat lovers, it had a slight spice to the sausages but it was still OFF THE CHAIN! We got two pizzas that totaled about $105 but it was definitely worth it! When I go back to Chicago, I’ll definitely go back for another slice of that Chicago pie!! 5 stars! Thanks Lou Manati’s!!! Great job!!!
Well, we decided to try Lou Malnati's newly opened outpost at 86th and Michigan Road area here in Indianapolis . The pizzas were a medium cheese deep dish and a large pepperoni deep dish both with butter crusts. These were not deep dish pizzas. They
Seemed to be traditional crust pizzas. Also, on the pepperoni pizza the toppings seemed to be on top. Everyone knows a Chicago deep dish has toppings and cheese UNDER the sauce. Also, the order to ready timeframe was about 35 minutes . My guess is crusts are pre-made then run though their heat up/finishing device. My group of 5 are experts on pizza having been to Detroit, Chicago, New York City and Philadelphia. We also have spent time making all styles of pizza ourselves. I would have preferred to give a 2.5 stars but alas one cannot split stars. As a marketing ploy extending access to an iconic pizza name in Chicago is somewhat smart, however success may depend on significant product improvement locally.
First time ordering for Lou Malnati’s. Ordered my my husband, Ken Kent, July 16, 2022, a “build you own”. Chose to pay the delivery driver, but we’re not told it would be cash. Had to call and pay over the phone with a tip for the driver (Abdul), hope they do not forget to give it to him.
The toppings were okay. The crust was HORRIBLE, not fully cooked, no golden or brown color on the edges or bottom of the pizza. The crust was RAW! When we tried to get a piece, the topping lifted up but the crust was stuck (glued) to the cardboard. Attaching a few pictures. Disappointing to say the least
Lived in Chicago and grew up on UNO’s Malnatti’s and lived for them. The pizza we had today (in Indy) was not the quality of Lou Malnatti’s in Chicago. The crust was not deep dish (tasted bready) and lacked more corn meal. There was only a thin layer of cheese instead of the thick cheese I’m used to. Very disappointing.. unlikely to buy it again until I’m back in Chicago.🥲
The newest Lou Manati in Indy. I placed my order 30 mins ahead for a curbside pick up. L
Curb side pick up: Prompt, convenient and ready earlier by 5 minutes.
Pizza: Don’t be fooled by the size of personal pizza. Its a mouthful! The crust was crunchy, just about right (Unlike the soggy ones I ate earlier)
Tomato, Jalapeño and Garlic had a rich freshness and was melt in the mouth with the gooey cheese. All in all wow taste and experience! Will be going back!
OK let me start off by saying this is my very first time going here, I am from the far east of Indy but my grandmother had a doctors appointment on the north side of town was hungry so thought I would try something new so so soooo happy I …
Fantastic service. I had my order all OVER the place, and Chris worked it out for me. He stayed over a few minutes and made sure I had everything I needed. As a native of Chicago, this pizza is stamped and approved. Best thing Indianapolis ever did. Lol 😆
