LOU’S PARTNERS WITH MIKE’S HOT HONEY ›

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.

Lou’s Crew in the Community ›

On Thursday, July 15th Lou’s participated in Addison’s Rock N’ Wheels.

The event is a concert series in Addison Village with thousands of spectators. Lou’s sold over 500 slices of pizza and brought great awareness to the Addison location, which was directly across the street from the concert! A special thanks to Ryan and the Addison team for doing a great job!

Also on Thursday, July 25th Lou’s was at Constitution Park for Oak Park’s Summer Parties in the Park.

With a live band, face painting and balloon making activities, Lou’s was on hand to sample out nearly 300 slices of pizza to local residents of Oak Park. A big thanks is in order to Jaromie and the entire Oak Park staff for providing assistance during the event.

Lou’s was on hand in South Loop at the Cooper Apartment Complex for their 1st Annual “Taste of the Cooper” sampling event on Saturday, July 27th.

We sampled out over 250 slices of pizza to residents and helped introduce our restaurant to many new residents who have moved in from out of town. Other local restaurants and vendors on hand included Portillo’s, Cactus Bar and Grill, Xsport Fitness, and BLVD Restaurant.

Lou’s was in Schaumburg to help hand out over 500 slices in the 5th annual Ride for Hope for Ovarian Cancer Awareness on Sunday, July 28th.

Motorcyclists journeyed over 50 miles and ended up at Schaumburg Boomers Baseball Stadium where they could purchase food from other vendors and get a free sample slice of Lou’s! The riders loved the pizza and were super appreciative of Lou’s participating. A big thank you to Linda and the Schaumburg team for supplying help and cranking out 90 pizzas.

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.

Giving back with “4 Gifts 4 the Holidays” ›

The holidays bring people together and this year they’re bringing our Naperville location, 131 W Jefferson Ave, together with three of our Jefferson Ave neighbors, Anderson’s Bookshop, Anderson’s Toyshop, and Gotskind’s for “4 Gifts 4 the Holidays.” Customers can stop by Anderson’s Bookshop to pick up a card to have signed after making a purchase at all four participating businesses. We will make a donation to Loaves & Fishes Community Services for each purchase.

The partnership is inspired by the four gifts concepts of giving something you want (Anderson’s Toyshop), something you need (our pizza), something to wear (Gotskind’s), and something to read (Anderson’s Bookshop).

Loaves & Fishes Community Services is an organization that serves the Naperville community with a vision to end hunger and transform lives in the community. You can learn more about the organization at https://www.loaves-fishes.org.

We’re excited to partner with our neighbors to help support the Naperville community!
