LOU MALNATI’S PIZZERIA PARTNERS WITH MIKE’S HOT HONEY® TO DEBUT FIRST-EVER DEEP DISH PIZZA COLLABORATION IN CELEBRATION OF NATIONAL DEEP DISH DAY

Available at all locations starting April 5, Lou Malnati’s will give away a free small Lou’s x Mike’s Hot Honey Deep Dish Pizza to over 7,000 lucky guests to celebrate this limited time collab that elevates pizza to new heights with a craveable Chicago meets New York twist.

Lou Malnati’s – the Chicago pizza legend long celebrated for its authentic flavor and buttery-crust deep dish, is collaborating with New York’s most buzzworthy condiment, Mike’s Hot Honey, to give hungry fans a chance to savor a pizza as rich in flavor as it is in history.  Available starting on National Deep Dish Pizza Day (April 5), Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria will introduce Lou’s x Mike’s Hot Honey Pizza, a limited-time offering in both deep dish and thin crust for dine-in, carryout and delivery at all Lou Malnati’s locations in Chicago, Indianapolis, Milwaukee and Phoenix.

Lou Malnati’s meets Mike’s Hot Honey in this spicy collab and both brands are excited to introduce the new recipe as the first official deep dish partner of pizza’s hottest condiment.  Pairing Lou’s legendary deep dish pizza and signature ingredients with the sweet heat drizzle of Mike’s Hot Honey combines the flavors of two iconic pizza cities.  The collaboration brings together the best of Chicago and New York with the highest quality ingredients to elevate the guest experience and ignite their taste buds.  It’s the perfect combination of sweet and savory drip.

The new legendary deep dish features mozzarella, sausage, giardiniera and cupped pepperoni topped with a drizzle of sweet and spicy Mike’s Hot Honey.  Created using Lou’s iconic deep dish pizza and adorned with ingredients symbolic of Chicago, it’s layered to capture the generous drizzle of Mike’s Hot Honey which has become an instant classic on the New York pizza scene.

“After an exhaustive search over many years, we finally found something from New York that is worthy of adding to our Chicago deep dish pizza.  A little drizzle of Mike Kurtz’s Hot Honey creates a spectacular marriage of sweet and savory that every pizza lover will want to experience,” said Marc Malnati, owner of Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria.

In addition to the launch of the Lou’s x Mike’s Hot Honey Pizza which will be available in both deep dish and thin crust, Lou Malnati’s will offer guests the chance to sample the sweet and spicy flavor profile of Mike’s Hot Honey as a sauce option for their traditional and boneless chicken wings.  The limited-time pizzas will be available in all sizes and prices will vary.  Guests will also have the option to drip more sweet heat on their pizza or wings with the purchase of an additional Mike’s Hot Honey 1 oz dip cup.

“We are thrilled to be partnering with the oldest family name in Chicago pizza to create our first deep dish pizza collaboration,” said Mike Kurtz, founder of Mike’s Hot Honey.  “As a New Yorker, I was weary about deep dish pizza, but after trying Lou Malnati’s, I’m sold and I can’t wait for their guests to taste this delicious Chicago meets New York creation and have the opportunity to enjoy our hot honey on thin crust pizza and wings, too.”

In addition, Lou Malnati’s and Mike’s Hot Honey will launch with a week-long celebration starting on April 5 through April 11.  To kick off the hot new collab and limited-time only pizza and wings, Lou’s will surprise and delight customers with activities, swag and will give away a free small Lou’s x Mike’s Hot Honey Deep Dish Pizza to over 7,000 lucky guests.  In honor of the partnership and National Deep Dish Pizza Day, hungry fans can also enter to win Free Pizza for a Year and there will be 7 lucky winners to celebrate the 7 ingredients on the new pizza.  For more details about the collab, please visit loumalnatis.com/mikes.

On Monday, April 22nd Lou Malnati’s Bolingbrook and Lou Malnati’s Naperville – South 95th teams got together to volunteer for Feed My Starving Children in Aurora.

They worked together to assemble boxes of meals that will feed children who need it most.

Lou Malnati’s empowers our people to donate their time by organizing volunteer events at organizations they feel passionate about. For every hour team members spend volunteering, Lou Malnati’s donates $10 back to that organization.

At the end of the day, our teams assembled meals for children in need and Lou Malnati’s donated more than $100 to Feed My Starving Children!

KINDNESS ROCKS!

Our New Lenox carryout served deep dish at the Friends of the New Lenox Public Library Spring Gala 2018 on Saturday, April 21st.

A yearly gala, this event benefits the Friends of the New Lenox Public Library to help them raise money to fund library programs for kids and adults in the community.

Guests enjoyed art & silent auctions, raffles, music, and pizza!

On Thursday, February 15th, our Bolingbrook carryout competed in the Pizza Paws pizza contest at John F. Kennedy Middle School.

We placed in the top three!  All proceeds from the event were donated to the Humane Society of the United States.

On Tuesday, October 17th, our Palos Heights carryout sampled pizza during the Palos Heights Public Library Patron Appreciation Day.

On Saturday, May 6th, Lou Malnati’s Flossmoor participated in the Homewood-Flossmoor Park District’s Park Pride event.

Volunteers from the community helped spruce up the local neighborhood parks, while local businesses sponsored the garden equipment, plants, mulch, and more. We brought enough deep dish pizza to feed the 450 hungry, hardworking volunteers, and no surprise, it was a big hit!

Our Flossmoor team ended the day by posing for a picture with Seymour, the Homewood-Flossmoor Park District’s mascot.

Spring has sprung in Flossmoor, and we were happy to be a part of this Park Pride event!
