The 2017 Taste of Chicago starts today!

The annual 5-day festival featuring some of Chicago’s best tastes runs through the weekend, ending on Sunday, July 9th.

Lou Malnati’s has been participating in the Taste of Chicago since, well, forever! And just like we were doin’ it at the first festival in 1980, now in 2017, we continue to cook our pizzas fresh on site. Because there’s no better taste than that first bite of fresh, hot, and unbelievably cheesy deep dish pizza!

This year at Booth #23, we are offering our Malnati Salad, slices of deep dish cheese pizza, cheese & sausage pizza, and cheese & pepperoni pizza, along with taste portions of our Malnati Salad and Bruschetta. Come on down and enjoy a slice of deep dish pizza, hot out of the oven!

Rumor has it, the best place to cash in your tickets at this year’s Taste is the Lou Malnati’s Booth, #23…just sayin’…

See you there! Don’t forget to tag your cheesiest social media posts and pics from the Taste of Chicago with #TasteOfLous or #LouMalnatis and we just might feature you on our page!

Try our NEW Chicken Pesto Sandwich, available for a limited time only!

Lou Malnati’s fans sure must love it when a fresh, hot deep dish pizza is delivered straight to their doorstep (who wouldn’t?!) because we were voted Best Pizza Delivery in Reader’s annual Best of Chicago issue!

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.
