On Saturday, April 8^th, our carryout location in New Lenox participated in the Friends 9^th Annual Spring Gala and Fundraiser at the New Lenox Library.

The event was Harry Potter themed and celebrated the 20^th anniversary of the first book in the series, “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.”  J.K. Rowling’s fictional world was brought to life by guests wearing cloaks and holding wands in a Hogwarts decorated room while enjoying live music, an art auction, and the company of local artisans.  All proceeds benefitted the New Lenox Public Library.

Somehow, our famous deep dish pizza magically vanished over the course of the evening…

Wingardium Levio’ZA! Accio PIZZA!

Our carryout location in Flossmoor participated in Homewood-Flossmoor Park District’s Sweetheart Dance at the Sports Complex in Homewood on Friday February 10^th.

The event’s purpose was to recognize the important relationship between a young lady and an influential male figure in her life.  Guests enjoyed root beer floats, a photo booth, dancing, a decades themed costume contest, and of course … deep dish pizza!

Still being a new restaurant in the area since opening in October 2016, our team strives to and has done a great job thus far in immersing itself in the community.

We’re looking forward to continuing to build relationships by participating in the HF region!

Lou Malnati’s in Tinley Park donated a pizza lunch for girls attending the 2nd Annual LPGA/USGA Girls Golf Day at Silver Lake Country Club on Saturday, August 13th.

The girls brushed up on their golf skills, then took a break for lunch. Judging by the photo, they definitely enjoyed the golf, but pizza was the highlight of the day!

Great job, girls!

On Saturday, March 19th, our Palos Heights pizzeria served slices of our famous deep dish pizza at the “Art of Inflation” balloon show at the Palos Heights Library.

The show was put on by Dale Obrochta, also known as “Magical Balloon-Dude Dale.” His mix of comedy and incredible balloon art had the whole audience laughing. After the show, the crowd enjoyed slices of deep dish pizza while they looked at Dale’s finished works of balloon art.

It was a great afternoon of laughs, and of course, delicious deep dish pizza!

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!

On Sunday, October 25th, our Bolingbrook pizzeria sponsored the Tri County Barnstormers Cross Country 5K/10K & Super Hero One Miler at Lewis University. Although the event took place before Halloween, runners were encouraged to wear costumes, and there were some great ones out there! We awarded Lou Malnati’s gift cards to both the top finisher and the runner with the best costume.

Lewis University is well-known for their aviation program, so although the focus of the event was the races, they also flew different types of drones. Between the Halloween costumes, races, and drones, it was a fun-filled day!

And the best part? The post-race slices of deep dish pizza!
