About Lou Malnati's Pizzeria
Considered the oldest family name in Chicago pizza, Malnati's is as rich in history as it is in flavor. Lou got his start in the 1940's working alongside his father in Chicago's first pizzeria. Lou took his pizza expertise to Lincolnwood where he & his wife opened the first Lou's Pizzeria on March 17, 1971. Aficionados of Chicago-style deep dish pizza lined the streets on opening day for just a taste. Lou's sons, Marc & Rick have carried on Lou's vision of making absolutely the greatest deep dish pizza on the planet. Each pizza is handmade from scratch.
The next generation of this family owned & operated company, now with 30 locations, has continued to grow thanks to dedicated staff & loyal customers. Lou Malnati's Tastes of Chicago division ships more than 250,000 pizzas a year, & the catering division caters to more than 5,000 families, businesses & organizations each year. Lou Malnati's pizza is famous throughout the US & legendary for its authentic deep dish pizza.
