About

Lou Malnati's Pizzeria is a Chicago institution, serving legendary deep dish pizza from a family recipe perfected over more than 50 years. The Malnati family opened their first location in Lincolnwood, Illinois in 1971, and the tradition of quality ingredients and time-honored craft continues at their Old Irving Park location at 3986 N Avondale Ave. The buttery, perfectly cooked crust and chunky tomato flavors have earned this spot a reputation as one of the best deep dish destinations in the city. The casual, buzzing atmosphere suits family dinners, date nights, and quick satisfying meals alike.
