| - I took my sons to Lou Malnati's, and have to say it was just an "OK" place. We waited a few months after they opened to avoid the long wait lines. We went for lunch and luckily there wasn't a wait. I had been to Lou Malnati's in Chicago years ago and had remembered I liked it a lot. The restaurant was full, but not packed. After sitting awhile, we had to flag down the waiter that appeared to be working our side of the room. We all ordered personal deep dish pizza's, cheese bread and sodas. I had hoped to order a Caesar Salad, but was told they didn't have one in Phoenix, and they are still trying to "Dial In" their kitchens. Our drinks and cheese bread that we ordered came relatively fast, but then we waited, and waited, and waited for the pizza's to arrive. When they finally showed up at our table (about 45 minutes after we finished our appetizers), I almost began to chuckle but kept my composure. The "Personal-sized" pizzas are so small, I almost thought it was a joke. As for the deep dish....the pizza had thick (and very hard) crust, however the bottom part was only about 1/4" thick and the pizza sauce had a lot of watery runoff. We all finished our pizzas in about 5 minutes. Then we sat and waited for our bill. We eventually had to flag down our waiter again just to get the check so we could leave. All-in-all, we were there almost two hours and left hungry. I think I'll stick to some other locally established pizza places until they can "Dial-In" their kitchens a bit more, and would definitely order a larger pizza. Their prices are very high for what you get as well.
