Love is in the air…and it smells like pizza!

Heart shaped pizzas will be available in all Lou Malnati’s pizzerias starting Monday, February 7th through Valentine’s Day, Monday, February 14th.

Cupid’s best tip: Save some time by grabbing a frozen heart shaped pizza from our freezer case before Valentine’s Day, or order your pizza half-baked and finish it in your oven at home!

We are proud to announce the re-opening of our pizzeria in the iconic Wrigley Building on Michigan Avenue!

While it’s been an extremely difficult year, we are excited to reopen in the heart of the Chicago! Located at 410 N Michigan Avenue, Lou Malnati’s Michigan Avenue offers dine-in, a full bar, carryout, delivery, and catering services. Our 10,000 square foot restaurant seats approximately 200, which will be reduced temporarily due to COVID-19 capacity restrictions. The historic location also has a unique retail space where Lou Malnati’s fans can purchase exclusive apparel and other Lou’s crew gear.

Marc Malnati shared some of his thoughts on the reopening. He said,

“Malnati’s is not only celebrating its 50th Anniversary this year, we’re also honored to reopen our flagship location in the iconic Wrigley Building. We’re ready to welcome guests back to our vibrant city and look forward to returning to normalcy.”

We look forward to serving you soon!
