| - My friends and coworkers rave about Lou Malnati's, and so I had to give it a try. This was my first experience with deep dish pizza (aside from a little order at the O'Hare airport food court, which was dry and disgusting, as expected). I had a busy night, so my s/o got us some frozen pizzas and the combination platter.
Pros:
- The crust was flaky and yummy, and the crust-to-sauce-to-"topping" (Is it still called a topping if it's on the bottom?) ratio was simply fantastic. Usually, when I eat pizza, I feel the need to alternate between the saucy, flavorful tip of the slice and the crust. Not with Lou Malnati's!
- I. Love. Breaded. Mushrooms. and theirs were one of the best, with a nice crisp (even though it sat in the container for 30 minutes before I got to eat them), and juicy inside. In general, the combination platter was yumyumyummy.
Cons:
- The website didn't make it clear that the offerings for frozen pizza were not the same as the ones for in-house. I was SO excited to try the Lou and to experience spinach + mushroom + garlic crust, and was so sad that I couldn't. IIRC the options available are cheese, spinach, veggie (green peppers, onions, and mushrooms, I believe), sausage, and pepperoni).
- The spinach pizza I ended up getting was good, but there was a little too much cheese for my liking. My s/o's sausage pizza had a better cheese ratio, but it was a little bit too wet and drippy for my liking.
I will definitely be back to try Lou's in person though!
