As a GF person, having a pizza that’s not a cracker crust is a treat in and of itself, let alone getting to have Chicago deep dish. Each time I’ve been they’ve been cautious and I’ve never felt sick after eating. A little bit pricey but worth it for something you don’t get very often!

I’m so happy with their pizzas!! Love a Gf deep dish alternative- and for those that don’t want a GF crust, they have the sausage crust pizza! Both are tasty

Welp I thought this place was celiac safe but definitely not. I had light symptoms on the first time eating it so wasn’t sure but then ate it again the next day. Usually takes a day for my symptoms to hit. Not a good day. Haven’t felt like this in 6 months 😩

gluten free, thin crust is our favorite and it’s celiac friendly. You just have to tell them you have an allergy my daughter and my husband have never had a problem and now they have a deep dish gluten-free. We would like to try.

Gf crust is ok at best. I’ve had better crust on frozen gf pizzas. However it was truly gluten free, not contaminated from the kitchen so they get points for that.

One of the best gluten free pizzas I have ever had! And the fact that it was deep dish, and it was my first time visiting Chicago, so I felt very lucky to find gluten free deep dish. Very filling and delicious! I was able to get 2 meals out their one-size gluten free pizza. I felt great after eating, no ill effects, and look forward to eating here again on our next trip!

Lou Malnati’s Geneva was very accommodating for preparing food GF celiac friendly.

I called and asked them how they prepared their GF pizza. Talked the the manager and she told me their GF pizza dough is made in a different factory and comes prepackaged. I asked about possible cross contamination with normal pizza flour and toppings. The manager said they would make sure the cooking staff washed their hands, change gloves, and pulled out toppings from the cooler that had not been handled yet.

While they could not guarantee GF, they said they do cook the GF pizza on a separate pan in the same oven as the other pizzas.

I got the GF deep dish (The Lou) delivered (with other pizzas in the order too). It was very tasty and I did not get sick. I had a great experience!

I’ve been hesistant to try Lou’s because of the mixed reviews. However, this location seemed to have good reviews so I decided to go. Staff was knowledgeable and assured me it would be gluten free and that it would be prepared in a separate area. I ordered the GF deep dish Chicago Classic and added mushrooms. Pizza was good and I had no issues.

Waited more than an hour for my pizza and got REALLY sick. For sure cross contaminated. I only recommend going there if you have a gluten intolerance, because if you’re celiac, you’re gonna get contaminated.

Gf deep dish pizza was decent, although slightly gummy like many others I've had. My gluten eating spouse tried mine and said it didn't taste much different from the regular. I didn't get sick and am quite sensitive to cross contamination.

Took off a star because they don't have any gf appetizers or desserts, I would have loved to be able to have those with the rest of my party.

While happy to get deep dish pizza, there is a large mix of pros and cons. The crust wasn’t cooked at the way, which was odd since we waited about an hour for our food. Staff didn’t pay attention when I mentioned gluten allergy, so while I didn’t get sick, I was pretty concerned about it. Overall, just a so-so experience.

Meh. Pizza was ok. Crust was a little off. The underside was crispy but the part touching the sauce was gummy. Sauce tasted good. Could use more cheese. Not my favorite but didn’t get sick.

GF salads and pizzas on the menu. The Malnati salad was excellent-so tasty! The GF deep dish pizza was pretty good. I wasn’t expecting much from the crust coz of the nature of GF pizza, so the toughness didn’t bother me. Sauce & sausage were good. No reaction & I’m a sensitive celiac.

Call ahead and spoke to manager before going in. They staff is trained on GF Allergy procedures, just mention it to your server.

The GF dough is prepared off site, and they have a dedicated gluten free prep area, pans, and utensils.

Server took things very seriously, and was even wearing gloves when she brought the GF pizzas. The pizza arrived uncut to further avoid cross contamination risks.

Menu wise they offer GF thin crust, GF deep dish, and a crust less option (the dough is replaced with a sausage patty).

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.

The only good thing, service was great. The cons; GF deep dish crust was not good :-( I had my hopes up for a tasty GF pizza, the crust was underbaked and flabby for most of the pizza and the edges were tough and crunchy. So tough I couldn’t cut it with the butter knife they provided. The taste of the crust was bland. My family had a regular deep dish pizza which they described as buttery and delicious. My husband tried a bite of my pizza and said it tasted no where near as good as theirs. I don’t expect a gf crust to ever be as good as a regular crust but I don’t see why it has to taste like nothing! I wouldn’t eat here again. For those who are interested the menu stated the GF crust is made off site in a clean facility but is baked in the same kitchen as regular pizzas. Significant risk of cross contamination for a pizza that tastes like disappointment.

Definitely would give zero if I could. Ordered two GF pizzas. Got home and the order was wrong. I called to see if they could tell me if I got someone else's GF pizza. It was a complete debacle and they were definitely not willing to put in any effort. They told me the one pizza was PROBABLY correct because it had the same toppings so if it says GF on the box it is good. Neither said GF. Eat at your own risk. Terrible service and no cobfidence in them. I would suggest they try a little harder and improve their procedures. .

Always good pizza. Seated quickly but arrived at 4:30 on a Fri. Service was good at this location. Deep dish always takes 30min. GF crustless deep dish pan pizza is the best; crust is made of sausage, so we only add mushrooms, pepperoni and extra cheese. They now have GF-crust deep dish in a pan, so no cross contamination. The crust is good but tough on the edges (which used to be my fav part on the non-GF buttercrust). You can cut through the crust but the edges are hard. They have GF thin crust but since it’s finished in the oven with other non-gf items, there is cross contamination. Always have good choices here.

I had deep dish ,the Lou, with a gf crust. I would say it was meh. No sauce and the cheese was not great and very dry. Salad was great with signature dressing. Quite expensive for just me my meal was $40 with a salad and soda. I ate half and couldn't bring it home so... costly. The bathroom was really dirty. I would not really recommend but if you need a pizza fix. Go ahead.

Honestly had a bad experience here. We went during prime lunch time and waited about 40 min for our pizza (not the worst thing ever and I understand they were busy). But when the pizza came the server brought me deep dish after I told him twice I want thin crust. I also told him I had an allergy. He used the tool to grab the pizza on my family's pizza first and then proceeded to use the same thing on mine. So basically cross contaminated right in front of me. I asked for the correct pizza and explained why I couldn't eat that pizza. It took another 25 minutes. The server clearly wasn't listening cause he messed up a few other things with my family's food. The pizza was honestly not that great. Not horrible but not worth the price and waiting an hour and a half. They did comp the pizza which was nice.

Very impressed with GF deep dish pizza. It even had that signature sourdough type flavor! Felt good about the precautions taken and have had no effects. Go give it a try!

The crust was okay but the toppings were amazing! Felt very safe eating here and didn’t get sick after. It’s really nice to have this really popular restaurant that you can bring people to while still feeling safe with your own food.

Deep pizza is gluten free and celiac friendly. Both waitress and manager came to talk to me to guarantee that there was no cross contamination for this type of pizza.

For other type of pizzas (thin crust) there is no guarantee of avoiding cross contamination.
