Keep the trend going and make Lou Malnati’s a part of your big celebration as the perfect late-night snack!

After all, the key to starting a successful marriage is deep dish pizza. At least, that’s what we always say!

On May 11th, more than 450 supporters of the newly renamed Northwestern Medicine Lou and Jean Malnati Brain Tumor Institute, including the Malnati family, gathered at The Ritz-Carlton for Minds Matter 2018.

Emmy and Golden Globe-nominated writer, director, producer, and actor Bonnie Hunt served as master of ceremonies at the charity event. Guests listened to a discussion with Marc Malnati, Jean Malnati Miller, and co-director and surgical director of the institute, James P. Chandler, and enjoyed a live auction featuring a variety of items and experiences. One hotly contested experience was “Dinner with the Docs” – a dinner at Lou Malnati’s Gold Coast with doctors from the institute, and of course, deep dish pizza!

At the end of the night, proceeds from Minds Matter 2018 totaled over $615,000.

This money will help to advance medical research and clinical care for patients with brain and spinal cord tumors at the Malnati Brain Tumor Institute.

When it comes to selecting Oscar winners, the Academy’s actors vote for their fellow actors, directors vote for directors, and so on.

So if what it takes to win an Oscar is to have some Hollywood A-Listers in your corner, well, who do we talk to about getting a “best pizza” category added?

We would definitely get some votes from these guys…

Glory!

Ever wondered how to make a deep dish pizza?

Today’s your lucky day because we’re going to share our secrets for how to make the quintessential Chicago-style deep dish pizza, our Malnati Chicago Classic!

1. Every Malnati Chicago Classic starts with our secret recipe dough, patted out by hand and raised up high on the sides of a seasoned deep dish pizza pan.
2. Next, slices of mozzarella cheese (a little extra cheese on the Malnati Chicago Classic!) are placed directly on the dough.
3. And now, the good stuff…we layer our exclusive blend of lean sausage on the pizza, completely covering the cheese.
4.  The pizza is then topped with vine-ripened tomato sauce, a little chunky and a little saucy, the perfect topping for this authentic Chicago-style deep dish pizza.
5.  The final touch is an extra sprinkling of cheese and spices, and this pizza is ready for the oven.
6. A pizza this good takes some time to bake, about 30 minutes, but be patient…it’s worth the wait!
7. Grab your knife and fork and dig in!

Watch how to make our Malnati Chicago Classic in this video with one of our expert pizza makers…

And that’s how you make a deep dish pizza!

Now who’s ready for a slice of that Malnati Chicago Classic?
