Lou Malnati's Catering - Buffalo Grove

Disclaimer: I think Lou Malnati 's pizza is the greatest of all time so I went to this location pretty certain that I would enjoy the food. And I did. Three of us shared a medium Malnati 's salad. Gotta love the house sweet vinaigrette dressing. We also shared a small deep dish cheese pizza and a medium thin crust 1/2 green pepper, 1/2 cheese pizza. This was actually more than enough food for us so we had lots to take home. Our server was Francesca and she was pretty awesome. We mentioned that it was our daughter 's birthday so she brought out a warm cookie and cream concoction with a candle, and we scarfed that down too. Noticed the large Buffalou Malnati 's buffalo statue on a wall and took me a minute but it was because we were in Buffalo Grove. This is an older building and it 's rather dark inside but that mattered not to me. Great food, great service.

A Chicago Classic! Always delicious! But PLEASE get Deep Dish! You can get thin crust pizza anywhere!Get the deep dish! Get the butter crust! Treat Yourself!My recommendation for an appetizer is the three cheese bread. Make sure you go on a day you're not counting carbs for those of you that do! Dessert. Cookie Pizza! I love this location because they have all the fun signs on the wall and honestly it doesn't get too loud. You can choose to sit in the bar or sit in the restaurant. Plenties of tables and booths depending on what your preference is. Perfect location whether you're a couple or a large family. The service is great even during the busier times. Servers let you know wait times on all the things that you order. If you're looking for a classic Chicago experience make sure you find one of the many locations of this awesome Chicago staple!

The best pizza in town! I did a medium size deep dish with extra sausage, butter crust, extra cheese and less tomato sauce! I also ordered it half baked! I think the key was the smaller amount of tomato sauce, it was not too salty and it was really good this time! Crust was crispy and the flavor was excellent! I did the curbside pick up, it took longer than I had expected. The time I picked up, no one else was in the parking lot! Besides that, the pizza was delicious!

Simply classic. Highly recommend the butter crust, and we'll done when deciding how it should be cooked. Family favorite.

We make it a point to visit this restaurant every time we're in the Chicago area. The medium pizza, which is said to serve three, would actually be enough for four people. The deep-dish Chicago style pizza features a delicious red wine sauce and is generously topped with tender sausage. The service was excellent, and the food from the kids' menu arrived quickly, which is essential for parents. The timing of the salads and appetizers was just right. However, the calamari was a bit chewy, and the house salad dressing tasted like it came from a bottle. Overall, we had a great experience thanks to the lovely atmosphere, cold beer, and tasty pizza. Next time, we'll skip the calamari and salad.
