Lou Malnati’s Midway is opening in just one week on Tuesday, May 2nd!

We’ve been following along with construction progress at the site of our newest pizzeria located near Midway Airport for the past few months, and in Episode 3 of our Building Midway video series, this restaurant really comes together! Check it out below.

Next week, we’ll be back with a full tour of the completed restaurant, and…THERE WILL BE PIZZA!

Lou Malnati’s Midway will be a full-service restaurant and bar located at 6456 South Cicero Avenue, offering dine-in, delivery, carryout, and catering of Chicago’s best deep dish pizza from Lou Malnati’s.

Check out Episode 1 and Episode 2 of this series to see how far we’ve come!

In Episode 1 of our Building Midway video series, we saw the bare bones of our new restaurant, located just outside Midway Airport, but had to imagine what it was going to become. In Episode 2, the bar is up, the bricks are laid, and guess what? We’re going to be making pizzas real soon!

Check out Episode 2 below to see the progress since our last visit.

Almost five months ago, we broke ground on the site of our newest pizzeria on Chicago’s south side, less than a mile away from Midway Airport. Today, the walls are up, the plans are laid, and we are well on our way to an early May opening!

Join us as we take a sneak peek at ongoing construction of Lou Malnati’s Midway, our newest location, at 6456 South Cicero Avenue.

We’re throwin’ it back with this photo…Lou might have been best-known for his delicious deep dish pizza, but he knew how to cook a mean Thanksgiving turkey, too!

Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours!

At Lou Malnati’s Flossmoor, we have been serving up deep dish pizza for a little over a week since our opening on October 12th, but Marc Malnati was officially welcomed back to the area at a formal ribbon cutting ceremony with Mayor Braun and Chamber of Commerce officials yesterday afternoon.

After the first Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria in Flossmoor closed in 1978, this opening is especially sweet for the Malnati family, because this time, deep dish is here to stay!

If you haven’t stopped by our newest carrout yet, the ribbon has been cut and we are officially open for business! Lou Malnati’s Flossmoor is located at 3315 Vollmer Road in the Flossmoor Commons Centre, offering carryout, delivery (within zone), and catering.

Boy, does it feel good to be back in Flossmoor!

It’s official! Earlier today, Rick Malnati was joined by Mayor Rahm Emanuel for a ground breaking at the site of the next Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria, located near Midway Airport at 6456 South Cicero Avenue!

Illinois Speaker of the House Michael Madigan, Alderman Marty Quinn, President of the Malnati Organization, Mark Agnew, and Director of Facilities, Sasha Milosavljevich were also on hand to celebrate the ground breaking. Malnati shared excitement about joining the growing Midway neighborhood:

“We are thrilled to be able to join the Midway neighborhood. A number of developments are breaking ground along Cicero Avenue, and we’re excited to see the neighborhood change for the better.”

Mayor Emanuel echoed this sentiment, saying, “This new pizzeria is a win for the Midway neighborhood.” After the speeches and ground breaking, the group also enjoyed a “first bite” of Lou Malnati’s deep dish pizza.

After all, it wouldn’t be a Lou Malnati’s ground breaking without deep dish pizza!

Check out a few photos from the day below…

Lou Malnati’s Midway is slated to open in spring 2017. Stay tuned for updates as construction continues on our newest pizzeria!
