On March 28th, 12 members of our Lou Malnati’s Lakewood crew volunteered their time at the Crystal Lake Food Pantry where they helped pack and organize food and lent a helping hand wherever they were needed.

When one of our store teams is passionate about a particular organization in their community, Lou Malnati’s empowers them to donate their time by organizing a volunteering event. For every hour team members spend volunteering, Lou Malnati’s donates $10 back to that organization.

This is just one of the many ways Lou Malnati’s is making kindness rock in our community!

Our Lakewood team was able to serve the Crystal Lake Food Pantry with both their time and a $300 donation from Lou Malnati’s to do even more good in the future.

Kindness rocks!

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.

Addison by the Slice featured two live bands

On Tuesday, April 3rd, our Cary location sampled pizza at the Sage YMCA Multi-Chamber Mixer in Crystal Lake.

This is the third year in a row we’ve been at this event.  We love providing deep dish for a night of networking!

On Wednesday, February 28th, our Park Ridge location participated in Emerson Middle School’s First Annual Pizza War.

Lou’s took home first place as favorite pizza!

There were about 200 guests at the event, and all ticket sales went back to support the school.

On Sunday, January 21st, our Park Ridge carryout sampled pizzas during Notre Dame College Prep Athletic Club’s Third Annual AFC/NFC Championship Party.

This event brought together current and alumni parents, as well as other supporters of Notre Dame College Prep.  Everyone watched the NFL games while raising funds for the school.

All proceeds benefited the Notre Dame College Prep Athletic Club.

Our Lakewood location served pizza during the Laughs at the Lake Comedy Show at Crystal Lake Brewing on Wednesday, October 18^th.

Laughs at the Lake is an annual fundraising event for the Boy Scouts of America in McHenry County.  Guests assembled to participate in a raffle and tried locally crafted beverages from Crystal Lake Brewing all while listening to bits by emerging Chicagoland comedians.

Philanthropy, deep dish, beer, and comedy?  This event is no joke!
