Enjoy an annual tradition and ring in the New Year a little early with your family at one of Lou Malnati’s full-service restaurants. The Lakewood, Lincolnwood, Buffalo Grove, Elk Grove and Naperville pizzerias are hosting a family celebration, including pizza, soda, a mock count down, sparkling cider toast and a balloon drop.

Each location will have two seatings around 4:00 pm and 7:00 pm, but times vary at each location so please call the restaurant directly for specific times or click here for details.  All locations will be open until 9pm on New Year's Eve.

Lou’s pizzerias will be open on New Year’s Day. Happy Holiday’s from Lou Malnati’s!
