Phoenix - Lou Malnati's Pizzeria

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.

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!

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!!!

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.

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!!!
