Can you use the gift card portion immediately? (Not bonus cert)
When purchasing a gift card from our pizzerias, the gift card can be used immediately. If you are purchasing a virtual gift card online, it may take up to 24 hours for the value to be activated.
Do the regular gift cards (non bonus cards) expire?
Hi Dave: Our regular gift cards do not expire. The bonus certificates will take up to 2 weeks to arrive by mail.
Also, about how long will it take for the bonus certificates to arrive in the mail?
I ordered the virtual gift card two days ago but it has not arrived in my email. Can I expect that to happen soon?
Tom
Hi Tom: Virtual gift cards are usually emailed right away. I am going to send you an email so we can resolve this.
How does using a Bonus Certificate or Gift Card as payment in one of your establishments affect my Deep Dish Dough contributions? If I pay with cash or credit card, I get points. Do I get points if I pay with a Bonus Certificate or a Gift Card?

I tried ordering a gift card online and using the code and it popped up that the code is an invalid code. I need to order a gift card for my grandson who lives out of state. How can I get the code for the bonus certificate to work?

I have a good friend who grew up in Chicago and now lives in Brazil (hasn’t had Lou Mals in a decade). Is there any easy/cheap way to get some frozen pizzas sent internationally?
Hi Kevin: Unfortunately, we do not ship internationally. Our pizzas are shipped frozen and must arrive within 48 hours, and that just isn’t possible when shipping overseas and having to clear customs. Sorry – we wish we had better news for you!
If you buy more than $100 worth of gift certificates, suppose I bought $200 or $300 worth, would I get $50 and $75 worth of bonus certificates? Or just $25? Could I get extra if I did it in separate orders?
Can my $100 gift card be used to ship within usa? then bonus can only be used when we visit Chicago or we can give bonus card to Chicago family?
Hi Marla: You may use the $100 gift card online for Tastes of Chicago purchases and at any Chicagoland Lou Malnati’s pizzeria. The bonus certificate may only be used at our pizzerias – not online at Tastes of Chicago.
Is there a limited number of gift cards you can use with online shipping orders?
Hello Heidi! There is no limit to the amount of gift cards you can use for shipping orders. Remember though, the paper bonus certificates can only be used at a Lou Malnati’s location, not for online shipping orders.
