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!

It was very busy. We were seated quickly upon our arrival. The staff were very busy and it took a while for place settings and water. Also waer refills were very slow and needed to ask multiple times. We were told timing of pizza which was acceptable for how busy they were (45 minutes) We ordered appetizers and salads which allowed us to be eating something while we waited for pizza.

Pizza on Tuesday is half off at Moretti’s. That alone makes a worthwhile trip. But even at full price the food is excellent and outdone only by the service. One last thing…you HAVE to have the chips and dip. Both are made in house and the dip is NOT your typical onion dip. Believe me, it’s well worth it.

Lovely. We enjoyed the pizza with an unpronounceable name, the Bolognese, and a side of fire roasted veg. Each was excellent. The service was fast and pleasant. We sat in the front of the restaurant nearest the street and that was certainly quieter than the main dining room. We'll be back.
