Easy review here. I'm originally a Chicagoan (born and raised) so going to Lou Malnati's on Lincoln Ave in Lincolnwood while growing up was something my family did every couple of months. But it's been a long while since I've eaten deep dish pizza, and on our recent visit over Labor Day weekend, all my memories of that crust and that sauce came flooding back.
We sat outside, nice mist-ers and cool night breeze. Service was attentive and friendly, wait times weren't so bad (time for one IPA and a glass of wine for my wife), and our Lou's classic pizza was great. I was a bit surprised at the amount of sausage on the pie - A LOT of sausage. But you know what? I scraped the sausage off the leftover pieces to add to a sauce for an Italian meal at home a night later. Voila!
Thanks, Lou Malnati's - glad you're here when I need a deep dish fix!
