And the Winner of Best Deep Dish is… ›

While March Madness took center stage this weekend, another epic match up was taking place here in Chicago.  Lou Malnati’s squared off against fellow deep dish pizzerias to find out once and for all who has the best deep dish in town.  After nearly 50,000 votes, the results of Eater Chicago’s Pizza Week poll are finally in. And the winner is…..

Lou Malnati’s!

Our celebration got a little out of hand.  See what happened when Marc Malnati shared the news and what left him asking, “What happened to Gatorade?” #malnatimadness #tomatoshower

Love and other things… ›

Happy Valentine’s Day!  How are you celebrating?  Don’t forget heart-shaped pizzas are available at all 37 locations today, so go ahead – eat your heart out!

Lou Malnati's in Downtown NapervilleHere at Lou Malnati’s we are not only celebrating Valentine’s Day, but also the 20th anniversary of our Naperville Pizzeria!  The Naperville Lou Malnati’s opened on February 14th, 1994 in the heart of downtown Naperville.  It occupies the oldest remaining firehouse in Naperville and the décor reflects the history with ladders and other related memorabilia.  During our 40 years in Naperville, we have made over a million pizzas but more importantly a bundle of memories.

Thank you to the Naperville community for welcoming us into the neighborhood 20 years ago and we’re looking forward to making more pizzas and memories during the next 20 years!
