Lou Malnati's Pizzeria - Crown Point

Lou's has been a favorite for years, but it's been a while since I had one. I noticed that a new carry out opened in Crown Point, and decided to give them a shot. Now, reading the reviews had me a little worried, but I chalked up most of the negative ones to the growing pains of a new restaurant. I placed my pickup order just after they opened on a Wednesday, and the pie was ready 30 minutes later just as they said it would. As recommended, I left it uncut for the ride home. Service was friendly and fast.

Opened the box before leaving to see a perfectly good sausage and pepperoni deep dish. Looked great. Took the corners slowly on the drive home, and avoided having the ingredients on one side of the box. Tasted like Lou's once we dug in.

I'm sure the place has had a few issues since opening. However, everything was fine with my order. Please don't order the pizza cut, drive home like a madman, and expect the pizza to look fresh.

Delicious! Ordered at 9pm, and even though they close at 10, my pizza was crispy, hot and perfectly topped. Excellent pizza!
