| - We came to Lou's with my mom around 4pm on a Sunday afternoon. We gave our name to the hostess to reserve a table, who informed us there was about a 20-25 minute wait to be seated, then headed over to another hostess stand to pre-order our pizza. We ordered a large "half Lou's and half Classic" and continued to wait. There were only a few chairs to sit on in the waiting area (aside from the bar, which was full), so I was a bit upset that my mother and my husband who had worked on his feet all day, had nowhere to sit while we waited. Thankfully, the wait was only about 15 minutes to get a table and we were ushered in to a lively but slightly dark dining room area and seated in a booth. Our server was Donnie, and he immediately made us feel welcome and relaxed. He had a great personality that lasted throughout our meal. We ordered a house salad and while we originally going to order the family salad, our server suggested that we order 2 individual salads as it would save a bit of money. Unless the pricing on the website is incorrect, it's actually cheaper to order the family salad vs. two smaller salads but perhaps this was an oversight by our server. In any case, the salad was just so-so and we anxiously awaited our main course. The pizza arrived and it was excellent. I as expecting a bit more flavor and flakiness of the "garlic buttercrust" we had ordered; not tasting a hint of garlic or butter in the crust but the toppings were excellent and the sauce was fresh, flavorful and there was plenty of it. Between the three of us, we ate 2 slices each and had 2 slices to take home. By the time we left the restaurant at 6pm, the front lobby was jam packed with people waiting to be called for their table. Overall, the pizza was very good and we will definitely be back when craving deep dish, the service was great but we could have done without the TVs in the dining room and a bit more light.
