Sooo happy with Lou Malnati’s. I have eaten at their locations in Chicago and Arizona. Over the course of the last few years they have progressively gotten better and more consistent. Last night at the Tempe location they had someone come out and explain that the pizzas crusts are made separately at their manufacture/regional kitchen and in restaurant they have someone designated to top the allergy pizzas and are pulling from toppings that are kept separate. The pizzas came out in two different colored pans, the gluten free ones have their own color to reinforce the separation. He also said that Lou Malnati’s is working on getting gluten free certified so they don’t have to have the disclaimer that it is processed in a facility with wheat. He said that this will apply to all the Lou Malnati’s in the area. I asked if they follow the same procedures for a take out order that is gluten free and he said yes, every time. The pizza is so delicious, and tastes the same in Arizona as it did in Chicago. Would absolutely recommend and so excited to see the way they are making the experience better for those with celiac & severe gluten allergies!

This place is truly disappointing. I had the house salad without croutons and it was tasteless. I then ordered the gluten free deep dish pizza which was also tasteless. The crust was like an over baked cracker. Waste of time, money and calories!
Terrible GF pizza. Disgusting crust. Felt sick after. Don't understand the high ratings.
Terrible GF pizza. Disgusting crust. Felt sick after. Do not recommend.
I was very excited to find out Lou’s offered a gluten free deep dish because their regular deep dish pizza always used to be my favorite before I was gluten free. However, I felt sick immediately after eating it. I am assuming there was some cross contamination:(
Deep dish GF pizza that was made in its own dish. Felt very safe and waiter ensured they are very aware of cross contamination. The pizza crust itself was not a highlight- actually quite thin and hard- but being able to eat safe GF Chicago pizza with friends was worth it. Safety being most important to me!
