“ Never disappoint, the waitress who waited on me was so friendly and accommodating . Will always visit the place ”
“ Very efficient and nice atmosphere. Love the House Salad and of course the pizza. We also had delicious garlic bread! ”
“ Pizza is good and so is the service. Nice relaxing place to have a meal. Love sitting outside in the summer. ”
“ I was here for dinner, and of course you eat their pizza you have to get their deep dish pizza, as that is the pizza they are famous for. Which takes about 30 minutes for them to make and bake, which you got to like that it is the closest full service restaurant without having to Chicago, or any others that are full service like the original location in Lincolnwood, that is on North side of Chicago. ”
“ Excellent takeout experience- ordered 4 pizzas for an event, everything was ready and hot (recommend ordering uncut). Honestly I never tried their thin crust- but it is SO good! ”
“ Called to reserve a table for 10 at 6pm. We were seated soon after arriving even though not everyone was there. There were 7 individual orders and the waiter promised the 1 order that wasn't pizza would be delivered with the pizzas the rest of the group ordered. We checked with the waiter numerous times since we were finished with eating pizza when the chicken dish finally arrived. Really awkward having all but 1 person having their meal after specifically addressing it at the time of ordering. Requested that the lone entree be taken off the bill which was done. The food was good. We'd had carry out before with major hits and misses so wasn't sure what to expect in the restaurant. It seemed chaotic and that they needed more help in both the kitchen and wait staff. Our section had 1 waiter and 3-4 tables of 8-12 people each. Very loud and probably wouldn't go with a large group again. ”
“ My sister was in visiting from Florida. She wanted to go to Lou's as she has really missed it. I ordered ahead online for dining in. That worked out so awesome. When we arrived we were seated right away. Ordered drinks and an appetizer and by the time we were done with that the pizza arrived! Our appetizer was the Lou's Bruschetta, Roma tomatoes, fresh basil, olive oil and shaved parmesan on garlic rounds. $9.89 This is one of the best Bruschetta's we have ever had. Hot, soft but toasted, garlicy and delicious! A huge hit and it was all consumed fast! HA! It was the three of us, my wife, sister and myself. My sister is a vegetarian so we ordered a large deep dish butter crust with half garlic, green pepper and tomato's and the other half was garlic and sausage (patty style). The pie was cooked to perfection and tasted better than any previous Lou's we have ever had and we have been to many locations. The atmosphere was nice, had a TV but not loud. We sat in a booth. It was great service from Morgan V. The manager came around at the end of our meal to make sure everything was to our liking. This is always a safe and good place to go with guests! Can't wait to go back! ”
“ Their service is top notch!! Tried their pizookie today and it was so gooooodddd. Highly recommend trying that. ”
“ This is a satellite of Lou's, not the original location. It's not as good as the original, but it's closer to our current location and you don't have to fight Chicago traffic. Lou's original is saucier and has more flavor, but this is an acceptable substitute. You just have to realize this is not THE Lou's. We got the sausage pizza and it was pretty thick (not quite as deep as the original) and the sausage was appropriately seasoned. We also got the bruschetta appetizer, and the bread was well oiled and toasted, but there was no seasoning and the tomatoes were bland. And their bruschetta has no balsamic, and we think that robs it of flavor. Service was great. Our server was very attentive and kept our drinks filled (coke products). The restaurant was too cold and for some reason the ceramic floors were very slippery. So just be aware and step carefully! We came around 4:30-4:45 and beat the crowd. By the time we left around 6:15-6:30, it was very crowded. The pizza does take quite some time to prepare, so don't be in a hurry. With the large sausage (4 servings), a small cheese to go (2 servings), and the drinks and apps, we paid around 64 dollars before tip. It's fine. It's just not the original. And really it's not quite as good as the mail order pizza, which we've gotten several times (yes, Lou's ships). But it's ok. The people are nice. They also have a bar and alcohol/beer, which we didn't try. The food is probably 3 stars. Service brings it up to 4. ”
