    There was 8 of us there for dinner night before Easter. Pizza was excellent. Service was very good. Decor was ordinary and tables were too close together. Ravioli was excellent. The big disappointment was the lasagna. I must have had a corner piece as I couldn’t cut through the bottom layer. It was hard. Not good. Plus it was flooded in marinara sauce. Way too much. But we had a good time and the kids enjoyed the arcade.

    The service was incredible! Our server was friendly and helpful. Everything was clean. They were fast. The ambiance was amazing. The Caesar salad was crisp, crunchy, and refreshing. I loved every bite of that savory salad. But, the pizza was terrible! The sauce was watery and flavorless. The crust was buttery and crisp. The cheese was all around terrible. But, the sausage tasted fatty and chewy. I was so disappointed! I had previously loved their pizza and considered it the best deep dish pizza around.very disappointed! I wanted to love it. But, it was that bad. If I come back, it’ll be for salad only.

    How’s always Lou Malnatis is a perfect place for pizza night we were seated right when our reservation was up we were served our drinks and delicious salad and because we had pre-ordered our pizza on OpenTable. The pizza came out a little sooner so we didn’t have to wait as long :-)

    Pizza was mediocre today. Not very hot coming right out of the oven. Service was slow. Ambience was great. Noise level was fine.
