    Ryan was an excellent server tonight. Professional, friendly and attentive. Pizza  was delicious and toppings plentiful. Have never been disappointed when dining at Lou’s. Originally from Chicago area and frequented Lincolnwood and Elk Grove Village, IL locations often. Glad to have a location in a Surprise, AZ.

    Service was excellent! The Calamari is spicy and no where on the menu does it specify that fact. The server told us the dip sauce was spicy but the calari deep fry batter is VERY S P I C Y! All 3 of us (out of 4) were totally unable to eat it...sad too, as we all LOVE calamari and my husband loves spicy food but that was even too spicy for him....said he could not taste the calamari at all. Our server took it away yet she was unable to replace it with toasted raviolis because she said they ran OUT of those by 6pm! More tweaking Guys!! We may try again once you are open for a while....

    Every item is delicious—from appetizers to salad and pizza. Deep dish preferred although thin crust also very good. Toppings are generous on pizza. Have enjoyed Lou’s in Lincolnwood, IL since early 70’s and glad we finally have a sitdown restaurant in Surprise. Service also very good; servers knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. Thank you.

    Ample food, but very bland and not enough sauce for portion size. Should offer some kind of bread with meal.

    I was with a family of four and they sat us at the smallest table you could possibly sit anybody at. We had no space for anything on a table. We asked for a booth which they were unable to accommodate, even though there were several available. Shortly after we sat, they sat two people in a large booth , which didn’t make any sense to me. Our server Nancy was absolutely fabulous and very knowledgeable. The food was great. I just won’t be looking forward to going back to a small table with my family.

    We had a reservation at 2:30 and were seated right away when we arrived. The food was excellent and our waitress very attentive. She had our drinks refilled without us asking for it. The ambiance was very pleasant, the music was not too loud and we were able to hear each other talk. We will be back for sure!

    This locations service was very disappointing even after setting reservations the day before for my family we still waited forever for our table as we watched them help walk in customers before getting us a table. Then once we got our table we waited about 30 min before having to ask a waitress if someone was going to take our order while watching customers around us get seated and get their order taken before we were helped. Then the waitress came to our table and stated she was sorry for us waiting she just clocked in….. as if the one employee showing up late for work justified no other employee being able to take our order if the employee who would be assigned the table hasn’t showed up to work yet. The food itself was good but the service was horrible even with reservations that seemed pointless from the time we entered the restaurant to the time we got our food we waited over an hour! I can’t see going back to this restaurant unless takeout is available.

    This was our second time to the new restaurant in Surprise. Let me just say that the service was outstanding. The deep dish pizza was the kitchen's problem on this visit. My wife thought her deep dish pizza was fine, while I thought my deep dish pizza's bottom crust was very thin. The outer crust was almost paper thin. I think the appeal to Lou's pizzas is the toppings. In that case, the pizzas are fine. I had the Lou's special while my wife had cheese with extra cheese. The phone app still does not recognize this location to order take-out, and hopefully, that problem will be resolved soon. I noted to our server that the restaurant didn't seem busy for a Friday afternoon. Her comment was this day was slower. In any case we will return and I will give their pizza another try.
