Review of Lou Malnati's Pizzeria

I tried the thin crust first a few months ago. That was a miss. Very thin, like a cracker. I abandoned my very favorite pizza place with a tear in my eye. And the rest of my gluten-loving family was extremely sad because they knew this meant the end for them too.

But two weeks ago we discovered they had a true deep dish option. Not that “sausage patty as a crust” nonsense. And I tentatively ordered it. The heavens opened from above and shone down upon me. THIS! THIS IS IT! It’s not exactly the same as their famous deep dish, but it’s pretty close.

Is it expensive? Yes. Does it only come in small? Yes. Would I order it again! Yes yes and yes. I’ve had it twice now and haven’t gotten sick.

So yes, Virginia, there is a Lou Malnati’s GF option. And now I truly believe.
