Lou Malnati's Pizzeria

Very concerned about cross contamination and was delighted with the food. Had the deep dish pizza ( first time since celiac) and was so pleased with the taste and texture. The service was great. They have some really good people there.

Went here on a whim since I saw some good reviews about it and had a wonderful experience! It is really cute, in a good area, and was not packed on a week night. The staff were all extremely nice and took precaution when told about my allergy. Overall, the food was excellent, had the GF deep dish as well as some chicken wings which were made to be gluten free. I will definitely come here again when I am back in town!

Great experience here! Got both the gf thin crust and the gf deep dish and both were sooooo good! They seem to have very good procedures in place to prevent cross contact.

I’m celiac. Had the deep dish pizza and it was like nothing I’d ever had! It was amazingly tasty! No problems with it. Our server was very knowledgeable. I will go back!

In my 12 years of being gluten free, I have eaten more gluten free pizza than you can imagine. Some of them tasted OK and some of them did not. This is the first gluten free pizza I have eaten that was delicious. We ordered the deep dish pizza, and I was concerned with the size when it arrived. We can usually polish off an entire pizza between the two of us, but we actually had leftovers to take home. The leftovers were delicious too. We also ordered the smaller salad that was listed as gluten free. It was huge, and very good. Our server was knowledgeable and helpful.

Literally so good. My only complaint is the edges are a bit hard but the flavor is amazing and it didn’t crumple so it’s a 10 in my book. I don’t love deep dish so I didn’t get it but I loved that I had the OPTION. I feel like that’s so rare. I would definitely come here again.

Gluten free options, yes. But the Chicago style gluten free deep dish pizza was mediocre at best. Toppings were delicious, however the crust was chewy and challenging to eat.

I’ve always loved deep dish pizza so when I got diagnosed with celiac I was worried I’d never be able to enjoy it again. Thankfully, I live right by a Lou Malnatis location and get their deep dish GF pizza all the time!! It is definitely the most authentic GF deep dish crust and I’ve personally never gotten sick from their pizza (I’ve ordered it a ton).

They have the thin and deep dish crusts made off site to help minimize the cross contact. But due to this they have limited sizes available. Also, just me personally, I don't care for thee flavor of their crusts.
