    Food was great service was good! And friendly! First time going to Lou’s in Evanston I’ve been to other ones, I know the pizza takes a long time, but the salad and wings took a long time to come out as well as appetizers so a bit slow but that’s the only complaint still worth the wait!

    Great place for Chicago Deep Dish. Atmosphere was good. Pizza was phenomenal. Oddly, they only had two servers working, so that was tough in regard to getting refill, etc.

    We had friends and family rave about Lou’s. Which usually tends to set the bar really high, and leads to disappointment. But this not only lived up to, but FAR exceeded our expectations. Not only first trip to Lou’s, but first trip to Chicago ever in my wife and i’s life. It was to celebrate our 30th Anniversary. This was a great way to celebrate…. With pizza? No! With Lou Malnati’s pizza!!! Only one major complaint about Lou’s… We will never be able to enjoy pizza the same way we used to, anywhere else, ever again!
