Lou Malnati's Tempe location serves their legendary Chicago deep dish pizza to the East Valley. The same authentic recipe that's been a Chicago favorite since 1971.

Always consistent!! This is the same Manaltis salad & pizza I loved in Chicago! Their signature Manaltis salad is my favorite side to any pizza anywhere. It’s tasty and hearty with bacon crunchiness and fresh mushrooms. Plus ours was overflowing, full to the top of the serving bowl. I have always loved thin crust instead of deep dish, and theirs is fine. The pizza part of the menu was a bit confusing as we wanted to customize, but made sense once we spent time dissecting it. Service was good and waters were always filled. Restaurant was very clean and sparkling. Overall, classic Lou Manaltis you remember from Chicagoland.

We were here for dinner with family, before my son's wedding. And it was fabulous. Alexis was a great server. She was friendly, helpful, accommodating and attentive to our group of 12. The pizza was everything we expected. Four large, deep dish, steaming hot pizzas were plated tableside for our party. We ordered the crustless, hot honey, original and the new triple pepperoni. Everything was delicious... cheesy, saucy, crispy crust, spicy pepperoni. Amazing!Everyone enjoyed the meal. Alexis brought out a complimentary dessert for the soon to be bride and groom. We sat on the outside patio, with a tv for the game, light music and a heater was on in the corner. It was a great time.

Our first time trying this place, my son won a certificate for a free personal pan pizza at school. I am highly disappointed and so are my children. We are Pizza Lovers and we are from the Chicagoland area and when I tell you this was not what I was expecting based on the reviews and the pictures the pizza looks good but it was no flavor. The thin crust cheese pizza the crust is entirely too hard going to break your teeth trying to enjoy the crust. The personal pan pizza more sauce than cheese. The best thing I can say from this was the level of service Devon was really kind and patient. For $60 I am not happy and we will not be returning

River our server was absolutely wonderful, So much professionalism, friendliness & attention to detail! Upon walking in the restaurant was clean, bright and had a good Verity of music playing over head. Music was not to loud, I still could hear my partner in conversation but not the people behind us in the booth. Got there just in time for the Lunch Menue ( at time of post 9.95 meal deals) I got the choice of pasta & salad, so went with Ceasar Salad & Fettuccine Alfredo, my partner got a Med thin crust one topper pizza , order of Cheesezy bread and two fountain drinks. Let me tell you... the Ceasar Salad was very Fresh , Plentiful and Delicious 😋, Fettuccine had Alot of sauce for dipping the cheesey bread in also.... very very yummies good size portion for a lunch special deal. My partners pizza was ohhhh so cheesey and River served the 1st slice at the table. Our fountain drinks were kept full and not to syrupy or watery very good ratio for cold Sodas in this Hot AZ weather. The atmosphere is chill amd casual with pops of color in the art on the walls , no over whelming lighting or noise. They have a full bar if your into that sort of thing. I loved that Lou Malnatis is Vegetarian and gluten-free friendly 😋 All in all Really Really good portions , quality and service for price of meals and drinks. Definitely comming back soon. Thank you River for the hospitality, Tell your Boss I said to give you a raise or promotion! Keep up the great work Lou Malnatis!

It was our first time at Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria, so we decided to start with their signature versions of pizza and salad. The salad was fantastic. I loved all the little details: the fresh, crunchy greens, fresh mushrooms, and the super-crispy bacon bits that packed a ton of flavor. As for the pizza, it was a whole new experience for us. It was our first time trying deep-dish pizza, and it did not disappoint. The crust was perfectly crispy, and the pizza was loaded with meat, cheese, and hearty sauce. You can tell they don’t skimp on ingredients—everything was packed and thoughtfully prepared. It did take a little while for the pizza to come out, but we didn’t mind at all. The quality made it well worth the wait.
