The competition was fierce this year at the 17^th annual Addison by the Slice pizza contest. We sold a whopping 192 pizzas in three hours at the event and walked away with the award for Best Sausage Pizza. Our Addison, Illinois location opened this year at 114 W Lake St and it was our first year competing in pizza contest. Addison by the Slice is an event for National Night Out, which is an annual community-building campaign that helps make communities safer and stronger through police and community partnership.

Lou Malnati’s had a seemingly never-ending line during the event.

On Thursday, May 3rd, our River North restaurant sampled deep dish during Off The Street Club’s “Save Our Summer” event.

As a whole, the S.O.S. program strives to provide a safe and memorable summer by sending a target of 700 kids to camp; away from violence, drugs, and gang activity.  This specific event not only raised enough money to send a goal of 50 children to summer camp this year, it exceeded its efforts by far and continues to raise funds.

Have a fun-filled summer, kids! We’ll see you next year!
