Celebrating over 50 years in business, Lou Malnati’s currently operates 80 locations in Chicago, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, and Phoenix.
Malnati’s looks forward to opening a new full-service restaurant in the greater Phoenix area and expanding its footprint in Arizona. The iconic pizzeria wants to provide a taste of Chicago to the Windy City transplants and residents in the Valley. “Since our first location opened in Arizona, we’ve received a warm welcome from our loyal fan base in Phoenix,” said owner, Marc Malnati. “Our team is excited to expand in the West Valley and make a new home in the city of Surprise. We’re thrilled to bring our authentic Chicago-style deep dish pizza to the Village at Prasada and become immersed in the diverse, vibrant, and thriving community,” added Marc Malnati. “We’re committed to providing jobs at our restaurants while supporting the local communities we serve and we’re humbled by all our loyal customers who love our food, family, and hospitality,” Malnati added.
In addition to serving up their famous deep dish, the company believes in becoming ingrained in the local communities they serve.
