| - I've been a customer of Malnati's since it opened in Lincolnwood circa 1971? My stepfather was a liquor salesman and one of his accounts was this building, he had the business in that place before it was Malnati's too. So I remember Lou from the first month he was open and I was a kid in 8th grade. Nuff said.
I love their pizzas. Everytime I go to Chicago we ALWAYS get Malnati delivery.
They have carry-out frozen pizzas (10"); sausage, cheese, pepperoni and two others for sale right inside the front door on the left in a tall freezer case, just grab what you want and pay for them right at the counter just inside from the front door, doesn't get much easier than that.
These frozen pizzas are simple to cook: preheat the oven to 425, remove the cardboard top from the frozen pizza pan, remove the frozen pizza, wipe the pan dry and spray the inside with any kind of lite oil, replace and stick it in the oven for 40 minutes.
Remove the pizza, use a scissors to make several vertical cuts in the side of the aluminum baking pan so you can slide the pizza out onto your own pizza pan for slicing.
This is without a doubt the best frozen pizza in this country. I buy them three at a time, it costs me about $45 for three to carry out. I have a styrofoam box I carry them home in since I live like 35 miles from this place.
It's in the strip mall at the north-east corner of Camelback at Central, way back in the corner of the mall. Look for the ice cream place next door. The place is hard to see from the parking lot, but it's there. The mall is right across the street from a tall bronze and black colored office building about ten stories tall, let that be your landmark to watch for. Turn into the mall at the traffic light on Cameback at 1st Street.
My only complaint about this place is the employees can be lacking in motivation sometimes. If I could I would give Malnati's in Phoenix 4.5 stars.
