A Chicago Original
About Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria
Considered the oldest family name in Chicago pizza, Lou Malnati’s pizza is rich in history and flavor.
Lou Malnati got his start in the 1940s working in Chicago’s first deep dish pizzeria. He took his pizza expertise to Lincolnwood, a northern suburb of Chicago, where he and his wife Jean opened the first Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria on March 17, 1971. Lou was known for his fun-loving character as well as making Chicago’s best pizza. Loyal patrons lined the streets on opening day for a taste of his delicious deep dish creations. Lou always thought it was funny that an Italian should open a pizzeria in a Jewish neighborhood on an Irish holiday. But that was Lou’s style; he loved all types of people and didn’t care much about what people thought.
If You Build It, They Will Come
After meeting with an enormous success in Lincolnwood, Lou decided to open another pizzeria in a little northwestern suburb by O’Hare Airport, Elk Grove Village. Unfortunately, the Elk Grove location had a tough beginning. A major road construction project began a few months after the restaurant’s opening and for 14 months business suffered immensely. At one point the accountants advised Lou to close the doors before it ruined him. But Lou would have nothing to do with that idea and persevered. Sure enough, once the construction ended, people came in droves to Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria in Elk Grove.
What makes Lou Malnati’s so special?
Malnati’s success comes from a steadfast commitment to quality. Each pizza is handmade from scratch with the finest ingredients—California vine-ripened tomatoes, our exclusive seasoned sausage, and mozzarella from the same small dairy we’ve partnered with for over 40 years. The family’s secret flaky, buttery crust recipe has been passed down for generations, ensuring every bite is made with care.
