    Long wait for some. Not me, I had a reservation through OpenTable. Of course the Chicago Deep Dish was GREAT - after all, it's LOU MALNATI'S. Great service from Zoe. This is a must have delight when I come to Chicago!

    Accommodated our party of 8 with no issues. We have made this stop a tradition when we come to a conference annually. People ask if we will be going to "Lou's" for dinner.
