Grab your broomstick and let’s fly, to a place nearby. The Malnati’s are hosting while the ghosts are ghosting!

Don’t be afraid there’s no tricks only treats. Come see for yourself it’s just down Main Street! If you’re looking for candy you’re sorely out of luck, but the smell of deep dish pizza will have you awestruck!

Lollapalooza 2018 kicks off on August 2nd and runs through August 5th in Grant Park. Nothing beats seeing your favorite bands live at Lolla, but…

Make sure you’re staying energized with some hot, fresh Lou Malnati’s deep dish pizza!

We bring our ovens to Chow Town every year so we are able to serve you the hottest, freshest, most filling food at the festival! Whether you’re a Chicago native or a visitor coming to jam to your favorite bands, you’ll love chowing down on a slice of cheesy deep dish pizza in between sets.

Just like Lollapalooza, Lou Malnati’s pizza is a Chicago staple, so why not bring the two together this weekend?! For only $4 a slice, our hearty deep dish pizza is well-equipped to keep you happy, satisfied, and energized so you can take in the whole Lolla scene and all the artists around you through the long four day festival.

Stop by our booth for a slice!

WE’RE BAAAAACK!

Starting Wednesday, July 11th to Sunday, July 15th we’ll be returning to Booth #21 to dish out slices of pizza during the nation’s premier outdoor food festival.

This year, 73 total restaurants (more than a third of them are first-timers) will showcase the diversity of Chicago’s dining community at Grant Park.  A year ago, the festival attracted its biggest crowd of approximately 1.6 million visitors since transitioning to the current five-day format.

The Taste will also feature music performances each night headlined by Brandi Carlile, Juanes, Black Star, The Flaming Lips, and George Clinton Parliament Funkadelic at the Petrillo Music Shell.

This is just a taste of what’s to come.  To get the full experience…

Tune in and we’ll see you there!

What’s better than listening to your favorite bands at Lollapalooza?

If you’re headed to Lolla this weekend, make this dream a reality by stopping by the Lou Malnati’s booth in Chow Town North to refuel between shows.

At just $4 for a slice of cheese, cheese & sausage, or cheese & pepperoni deep dish pizza, you won’t find a more delicious, filling meal for less anywhere in Chow Town!

Need more motivation?

Our pizzas are cooked fresh on site (yes, we’re bringin’ out the ovens, just like we do every year!) which guarantees you’ll get a hot, cheesy slice every time.

See you there!

The 2017 Taste of Chicago starts today!

The annual 5-day festival featuring some of Chicago’s best tastes runs through the weekend, ending on Sunday, July 9th.

Lou Malnati’s has been participating in the Taste of Chicago since, well, forever! And just like we were doin’ it at the first festival in 1980, now in 2017, we continue to cook our pizzas fresh on site. Because there’s no better taste than that first bite of fresh, hot, and unbelievably cheesy deep dish pizza!

This year at Booth #23, we are offering our Malnati Salad, slices of deep dish cheese pizza, cheese & sausage pizza, and cheese & pepperoni pizza, along with taste portions of our Malnati Salad and Bruschetta. Come on down and enjoy a slice of deep dish pizza, hot out of the oven!

Rumor has it, the best place to cash in your tickets at this year’s Taste is the Lou Malnati’s Booth, #23…just sayin’…

See you there! Don’t forget to tag your cheesiest social media posts and pics from the Taste of Chicago with #TasteOfLous or #LouMalnatis and we just might feature you on our page!
