My bf and I were planning on trying Pequod's pizza, but after a long day of being in the city we did not want to drive an extra 30 mins just to try a new place. Lou Malnati's happened to be just 5 minutes away from our hotel, so we opted to go there. I am soooo glad we did! I believe we have been to this location once before but it has been at least 5 years or so. It looked busy when we walked in around 8pm last night, but there was no wait. We were seated immediately!
It took a little while for our waiter/waitress to come see us and I was honestly becoming a bit worried (we were sat in a poorly lit corner so I wasn't sure if anyone could even see us back there), but they did eventually come greet us. Their name was Matt and they explained to us that they were new and apologized for the wait. Matt was a super sweet person and was honest about what they did and didn't know, which I always appreciate in a person. They also tried to save us some money on our pizza, which was so sweet! 10/10, Matt. We loved you! Thank you for giving us such a lovely experience.
As for the food, we ordered a combination platter (we knew we would be ordering deep dish which takes about 30 mins to bake) which consists of fried mushrooms, zucchini, mozzarella sticks, and cheddar cheese cubes. It was served with what I am assuming was house made marinara and ranch- so good! My bf even liked the fried cheese cubes instead of the mozzarella sticks, which is virtually unheard of for him. For our pizza we got sausage, mushrooms, green peppers, extra cheese, and garlic. It was well worth the wait. We could each only eat one piece because it was so filling!
We will definitely be back. The service was great and the food was fantastic!
