Flowers are great but heart-shaped deep dish is better. Reserve your table at Lou’s this Mother’s Day and treat Mom to her favorite deep dish in a festive heart shape to show her how much you love her.

Great service! Honored the reservation commitments! Very detail oriented server, wonderful food. Only downside is the loud dining hall that amplifies conversation at other tables. At times you basically need to shout to make your voice heard!

We had the Chicago style sausage pizza with the buttercrust, which was so delicious. The second pizza we ordered was a Chicago style cheese pizza with spinach, which as okay. Definitely go with the sausage pizza...you won't be disappointed.

Pizza is consistently great, but the restaurant can be noisy as it attracts lots of families celebrating birthdays and other events.
