On Tuesday, May 30th, 300 deep-dish-pizza-loving New Yorkers headed to Toro for a sold out one-night-only Lou Malnati’s pop-up.

The event was a coordinated effort by Marc Malnati and his son, Toro co-owner Will Malnati. Ingredients (yes, even the water!) were shipped to New York, and all of the pizza making preparations were overseen by Marc Malnati himself.

The consensus? It truly was an authentic Windy City deep dish pizza experience, served in the Big Apple.

Lou Malnati’s Oak Park General Manager, Mark Valletti, was honored with Oak Park’s very first Disability Access Award!

This award was given by the Oak Park Disability Access Commission, and Mark was nominated by counselors at Shiners Hospital because of his work with the kids from their Adaptive Sports Camp. In June, he did a pizza making demo with the campers…here at Lou’s, pizza making is most definitely a sport!

Fun fact: this pizza making demo was done with flashlights in the dark restaurant after the power went out due to a summer rainstorm. Mark was not about to miss the opportunity to teach the kids how to make a deep dish pizza just because of a power outage!

As a company, we truly value providing great hospitality, and Mark’s work is a shining example of hospitality at its finest. Way to go, Mark!
