About Lou Malnati's
Legendary Deep Dish Pizza Anchor Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria is the preeminent name in Chicago-style deep dish pizza, operating iconic full-service restaurants and high-volume carryout/delivery locations. As a family-owned legacy brand, Lou Malnati’s is highly selective, targeting "A-plus" real estate in affluent suburbs and high-density urban cores. They operate two distinct prototypes: full-service dining rooms (often 6,000+ sq ft) that anchor lifestyle centers, and efficient "carryout/delivery" hubs (1,500-2,000 sq ft) for infill markets. The brand is currently expanding beyond Illinois into markets like Arizona, Indiana, and Wisconsin, seeking sites with strong family demographics and significant evening population density.
