I will live well knowing that I can always get a Chicago Classic if I’m having the craving. If you separate thin crust into its own catagory… This pizza wins in the other catagory. It’s like lightweight vs heavyweight, New York vs Chicago. This pizza is just amazing. The buttercrust is something you need in your life.

Love coming here, which is now my local Lou’s. Last time I was here ordered pizza as usual, and a salad. Pizza’s are always great and they also have amazing salads. Sometimes treat myself to a dessert. Staff are friendly, and altho some days are quiet during the day time, the atmosphere is always good.

I love the location in scottsdale. This one was alright. I remember the deep dish pizza being better. The Caprese salad was to die for!!! Very expensive though. We got a small pizza and a salad cost $44.

Food and service was good and staff was knowledgeable and kind. They do preface service with the expected wait of them making fresh pizzas but with all the sports on television and appetizers it was a short 30 min wait.

The food has always been a-plus, exceptional. Service and servers could use some training. They stay very busy so we try not to go on high volume nights and hours. They are new this year and maybe just working out some kinks. The manager works hard to make up for problems that arise and the rewards program is great. Atmosphere is ok and in cooler weather, the patios are wonderful. It has become our go-to pizza place when not in a hurry. Their ranch dressing is the best around.

We tried this place for dinner, with some friends. We were greeted at the door and quickly seated. Our server came by and got our drink order. Upon our servers return we ordered some appetizers and our meals. We ordered the DEEP DISH MALNATI CHICAGO CLASSIC and the DEEP DISH THE LOU. For the appetizer we ordered the cheese bread and Stuffed Spinach Bread. All the food was delicious. The marinara was perfect. The restaurant was clean as were the restrooms. Cannot wait to return.

We came to the new location at Tempe Marketplace. It’s cute has a nice vibe to it. The staff were friendly and informed. I got the small deep dish pizza with pepperoni, black olives, and green peppers. Very good!

Aside from flavorless Lasagna with meat sauce, deep dish pizza topped with what appeared to be canned stewed tomatoes & a crust which was not thoroughly baked, even soggy in some portions; this slop gave me the worst case of constipation I’ve EVER had, even milk of magnesia isn’t giving me relief. Surely the uncooked dough ( crust) and lasagna pasta stiff from the excess starch (which obviously wasn’t rinse away properly) are the culprits of my constipation. Gross & graphic I know, but anytime any food is ingested resulting in severe constipation, something in the ingredients used to thicken the meat & primavera sauce or improper cooking method is what’s causing this malady.

First time trying the food here. We also had a movie to go to so, we had some apps. Three cheese bread, brushetta with tomatoes and basil and calamari. OMG if their pizza is this good…heck we are coming back. We saw huge bowls of pasta and steaming hot deep dish pizza! Oh yeah!
