Summer is a time for outdoor BBQ's, swimming, vacationing with family and enjoying the outdoors - apparently it's also a time for Mother Nature to wreak havoc and fill basements with water.  You have to take the bad with a grain of salt though, especially when we have a weekend coming up that's supposed to be filled with sunshine, milder temperatures and some soulful tunes - that's right, folks... Lollapalooza starts tomorrow and we're ready to have some fun!  Lou Malnati's is once again headed to Lollapalooza's Chow Town, August 5-7, where we will dish out slices of our legendary pizza to concert-goers.  We are setting up shop in Chow Town South, near Balbo and Columbus, and will be offering slices of cheese as well as cheese and sausage deep dish.  So if you're headed to the 3-day music festival, stop on by between sets to refuel and take a breather or stop by our Gold Coast location after the day is done - we'll be open until 2am, Friday and Saturday!

It's been one month since our newest location in Chicago's Gold Coast opened its doors and we have had a blast!  From the opening parties to seeing the looks of amazement on our regulars' faces when they walk in - it's great.  If you have stopped in recently, you have probably seen Marc Malnati himself running pizzas to tables and greeting diners.  Since this location is his new 'baby', Marc wanted to make sure that every diner has a great experience and really wanted to hear suggestions and comments from the source.  If you haven't stopped in yet, you're definitely in for a treat.  Featuring a special bar menu that's unique to this location, you can sip on one of Mamma Malnati's Signature Martinis or savor one of our Windy City Mojitos.  Along with specialty drinks, we also whipped up a few new appetizers that will satisfy any long time loyal Lou's fan.  Check out the slideshow for a peek inside!

We hope you come by and visit us soon!
