    First time trying. Honestly not as great as I had heard. Deep Dish Lou is their spinach pizza but with mushrooms and tomato. It was pretty wet. Not as deep as Giordano’s and hardly any spinach. Made reservations but the place was mostly empty when we arrived for a late lunch. Salads are huge.

    My family & I met for dinner before going to a theatre down the street and Emma did a fantastic job taking care of our table. Emma new we had a time restriction, and she made sure everything was brought to our table on time. The deep-dish pizza was so good! Highly recommend Lou's!
