Celebrating 10 Years of Lou’s in Lakewood ›

On August 29th, our Lakewood location hosted a customer appreciation night to thank our customers for 10 great years in the Lakewood community.

Customers stopping by the restaurant to dine-in or pick up dinner spun a prize wheel for a chance to score some Lou’s swag, including gift cards, Lou’s shirts, frozen pizzas, and more!

Thank you for your support over the past 10 years, loyal Lakewood customers! We look forward to serving you for many more years to come.

Special Store Hours on Sunday, August 13th ›

All Chicagoland locations will open at 4pm on Sunday, August 13th so employees can enjoy our Annual Company Picnic together with their families.

What goes on at a Lou Malnati’s Company Picnic?

The picnic is a day where our entire Chicagoland team (our Phoenix team enjoyed their picnic in May!) comes together for a day of fun. We start it off with a soccer tournament, winner gets bragging rights for the year, and each store designs a team t-shirt that shows off their creativity and team spirit. There’s family fun games and entertainment, and of course, food.

Yes, we do enjoy some pizza because…this is Lou Malnati’s, after all!

We appreciate your understanding as we continue this tradition.

Lou Malnati’s Thanksgiving Basket Drive ›

For the past seven years, employees, friends, and families from Lou Malnati’s and Soul City Church have gathered to assemble Thanksgiving food baskets for local families in need.

Lou Malnati's Thanksgiving Basket DriveThis year, on Saturday, November 19th, we filled over 1,200 baskets! Each basket includes everything needed to make a Thanksgiving feast, including turkey, canned fruits and vegetables, soups, cookies, and more. Hand-drawn cards, made by the kiddos in attendance, were also included in the baskets.

This event is not only a way for all of us to give thanks by giving back, but it’s really a hallmark of our tradition of generosity here at Lou Malnati’s.

To learn more about our Thanksgiving Basket Drive, check out this short video:
