On Monday, April 22nd Lou’s Crew was out in full force this past week!

This past Thursday, our team was out in the South Loop for the First Annual Jones College Prep Pizza Wars Fundraiser.  Lou’s was a crowd favorite as we took home 1st place for “Best Pizza,” defeating Father and Son Pizza and Pie Eyed Pizza! 

With the warm weather finally here, we also found our way outdoors this weekend at the 50th Annual Hegewisch Babe Ruth Baseball league tournament.  Lou’s sampled to over 200 participants and many who currently go to our Midway restaurant were sharing in the excitement and anticipation of our Schererville opening later this summer. 

Also, on Saturday, Lou’s was on hand at Lincolnwood Library for their Summer Reading Kickoff Party.  Due to weather, the event had to be moved indoors but Lou’s continued in the fun and handed out over 250 slices to local Lincolnwood residents! 

And finally, on Sunday, we marched their way over to Soldier Field for the Best Buddies Friendship Walk.  With over 1000 people in attendance, Lou’s was a huge hit as we sampled out over 500 slices of pizza and the lines wrapped around the entire park!  The entire Best Buddies program was super grateful for Lou’s being out there.  There was a special guest DJ appearance from local superstar Chicago DJ’s Milk N Cooks who shared how much they love our pizza!  A big thank you is in order to Peter, Philip and the rest of the South Loop  staff for helping to make this event a success!

On Saturday, July 25th, Lou Malnati’s South Loop was proud to support the Shedd Aquarium Auxiliary Board’s BLU 2015 event to raise money for the Shedd’s animal care, sustainability, conservation, and education efforts. The theme of the night was “Frog Wild!” in celebration of the Shedd’s newest exhibit Amphibians!

We sampled our delicious deep dish right alongside more than 30 of Chicago’s premier restaurants, and while the fish couldn’t partake in a slice of pizza, we know the rest of the attendees really enjoyed themselves! Check out pictures from the event below.
