On Monday, February 1st, our Oak Lawn pizzeria helped the Oak Lawn Public Library kick-off their Winter Reading Program by putting on a pizza making demo at the library.

We brought along our deep dish pizza making essentials – pans, dough, cheese, and tomato sauce. Our Oak Lawn team showed the group of about 30 people how to properly pat out the dough (it’s harder than it looks!), lay the cheese, and top with tomatoes. They also learned about the history of Lou Malnati’s, and all of the fundraising programs we offer.

The best part? After the demo, the group got to sample some slices of the finished product. Yum!

Our Oak Lawn pizzeria sponsored the Fresh Start Caring for Kids Foundation Celebrity Golf Classic on Monday, August 31st. This foundation accomplishes its mission through the Surgery Weekend Program, which transforms the lives of low-income, uninsured, and underinsured children with physical deformities through comprehensive healthcare treatments at no cost to the children and their families. Learn more about this foundation at www.freshstartkids.org.

The golf outing was hosted by Jermaine Dye, and included celebrities like fellow former White Sox players Frank Thomas and Scott Podsednik, and former NFL players Marshall Faulk and Andre Reed, among many others. We met the golfers on the 18th hole with slices of deep dish pizza and they were nice enough to pose for a few photos with us! Take a look below.
