Today, March 17th, marks the 44th anniversary of Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria!

Lou always thought it was funny that an Italian should open a pizzeria in a Jewish neighborhood on an Irish holiday, but with 40 locations to date (and growing!) he must have been doing something right!

There’s no better day than today to take a look back at how it all started!

After 44 years, and countless pizzas served, we know our customers have made some memories at Lou’s.

Do you have a favorite Lou’s memory? Maybe it was your first bite of our legendary deep dish or perhaps a memorable gathering at one of our restaurants. Whatever it is, we would love to hear from you! Share a photo or film yourself sharing your memory and enter it in our March of Memories contest. You could win some great prizes, including pizza for a year!
