Phoenix - Lou Malnatis Pizzeria

Saw the company truck while driving on the freeway and came to check out the "legendary" pizza. Deep dish is the way to go! A small pizza is more than enough for 2 people. The way the deep dish is made is unique and comes out so delicious and very filling! We had a choice to dine outside or inside. The server will serve you your first slice, which was also different. Between 3 people who have big appetites, we had 1 medium and 1 small deep dish with leftovers. Wheelchair accessible with a lot of room to get around. Definitely a pleasant place and comfortable atmosphere. We made a great choice to stop by!

First time here and it was top tier. The decor and vibe: plays good relaxing music soft in a good variety mix (not cliche Italian either). The temperature in the room was comfortable. The decor us simple and classy. The lighting is a tad low for my taste though. Service: The staff are polite but not over friendly. Not a pro or a con. This establishment is busy and very popular (Of course. Look at the reviews). This is a "service" kinda place. They serve your salads and pizza on your plates and hand it to you when your food comes out. The buss staff is quick and clear and clean tables fast. Pizza: The thin crust is excellent. The crust is homemade and the sauce is great. The sauce isn't too intense and is a real tomato sauce. This is authentic Chicago pizza at its best. They do not skimp on the cheese. Small selection on topping options. Not good or bad. Sometimes less is more. The ranch dressing is homemade and to die for good. Dessert: individual size pizza cookie was NOT worth the money. It was a very small serving. The middle of the cookie was low and thin. They put a tiny amount of ice cream and whipped cream in the middle with two cherries on top. If you want a pizza cookie, go to Oreganos. Drinks: Nice size drink menu with a bar with a few beers on tap. 10/10 recommend.

This was our first experience here and I have to say Roger is the best bartender ever! Not only was the pizza fabulous but Roger had a great energy and helped with suggestions. If I could give more than a 10/10 I would. Will be coming back and only coming back when he is working!!!

Very cute and delicious! Loved the atmosphere, the service was great and the deep dish was delicious. Not to mention it's in such a cute plaza with a bunch of little places! Loved it and will definitely be back....and the stuffed Spinach bread was awesome!!!

The food was delicious. The pizza takes a while because it is made to order, but the pizza was delicious and the appetizers were really good. Our order was mixed up but the manager was kind enough to comp the meal and throw in an extra appetizer and dessert.

I thought my pizza was really close to a Chicago style pizza. The deep dish is not deep like I’m used to in Chi-town but it was pretty good. Crust was flakey and almost buttery.. definitely savory. The sausage was a full patty.. that was different. There was plenty of seating. Cool mirror setup and a great place to seat outside. The atmosphere was friendly. The wait staff was attentive and really on it. It was nice to have my hot pie served onto my plate for me. The beer we tried was very tasty. The papa go orange blossom tasted very citrusy and the flavor hits you quickly. I haven’t seen this as it might not be common but thought it was a great addition to accepting everyone and making everyone comfortable The bathrooms are marked M W and U… see my photos.

The food is awesome everytime! Don’t come here if you’re in a rush, the food takes time to cook. Well worth it though. Great spot for big groups. And don’t sleep on the appetizer sampler platter. The cheese curds are to die for

Authentic Chicago deep dish! Exactly as I remembered from the Chicago location! Nice, friendly and efficient staff. Restaurant was nice and clean sitting on a classy strip mall.
