In 1995, Lou Malnati’s Lawndale opened with the goal of helping to rejuvenate the neighborhood and serve the residents of Lawndale delicious pizza, of course! We promised to give any profits from the store back to the community to benefit children’s educational and recreational programs. In 2011, the Lawndale restaurant turned its first profit, and as promised, the money was donated back to the community.

Today, 20 years after the opening of Lou Malnati’s Lawndale, we’re continuing to give back to the community, while serving the residents of Lawndale. In addition to giving back, we have partnered with the Lawndale Community Church to create a job-training program for residents of the church’s recovery program, Hope House, to get them back in the working world.

We love being a part of the Lawndale community, and we’re looking forward to many more years of giving back!

Happy 20^th Anniversary, Lou Malnati’s Lawndale!

Our new Lou Malnati’s Cary carryout (say that ten times fast!) is officially open TODAY!

Located at 502 Northwest Highway, our Cary location has a personality all its own. Just like all of our pizzerias, it was decorated with the local community in mind. When you walk in, you can’t miss the different types of fishing poles and canoe paddles decorating the walls. This is a nod to the Fox River that divides Cary and its neighbor Fox River Grove. In the summer months, the river is a hot spot for outdoor activities, like canoeing and fishing to name a few!

You’ll also notice the sporting gear. From hockey and lacrosse sticks to shin guards and tennis rackets, we’ve included a little bit of everything. Cary residents are serious about their sports, and from what we hear, Cary Grove High School football is a way of life for many of them!

Be sure to stop by and see what Lou Malnati’s in Cary is all about!

We are excited to announce that we’re headed west. And we don’t mean Chicago’s western suburbs… we mean Arizona! We will be opening our first out-of-state pizzeria in the heart of Phoenix in May 2016!

This new pizzeria will be located at 100 E. Camelback Rd., Suite 152 in the Uptown Plaza Shopping Center in Phoenix. Although renovations are just beginning, we’re thrilled to bring our legendary Chicago-style deep dish pizza to Arizona.

For more information about our Phoenix pizzeria, check out our 5 Things You Should Know About Our New Location in Arizona. If you have any additional questions, we’re happy to answer them! Please leave a comment, or fill out our contact form.

Get ready, Arizona. Deep dish is coming.

Making the move to Phoenix is no easy task, but we’re up to the challenge!

A lot of thought has gone into building our first out-of-state location, so here are 5 things you should know about our new location in Arizona to get all the facts straight!

1. We may be expanding out of state, but we’re still a family-owned and operated company. Just because we are heading out west, doesn’t mean we are franchising. In fact…
2. Five members of our management team have volunteered to permanently relocate to Arizona. We are committed to providing a true taste of Chicago in Phoenix, and that includes our Chicago team!
3. We have gone to great lengths to ensure our pizza will taste just as it does in Chicago – that means bringing core ingredients like our cheese, our tomatoes, and of course our secret dough recipe from Chicago to our new kitchens in Arizona.
4. The new Phoenix location will offer dine-in, with capacity to seat 240 people, carry-out, catering, and delivery.
5. We know you’re wondering where we’ll go next, but the truth is, we are 100% focused on this location. We want to ensure it is a success before we consider more locations in Arizona or elsewhere.
