We love carry out Lou’s in Mt. Prospect. Last night we were treated to a small Lou’s pizza for my birthday. We ordered the Lou Salad and my hubby and I were in heaven. Whenever we call in they know is by our phone no. So friendly. Exactly the same once we arrive. They call us by name and make sure we know what’s happening. Always clean and efficient.

This location is a carry out only which means no delivery or dinning in. It’s very close to my family’s house which makes it very convenient. The wait typically is minimal 30 minutes if you’re ordering a Chicago deep dish pizza. I haven’t been back in over a year and they had my info in the system still from my phone number which was pretty cool. The pizza itself it’s very well made. The ratios of sauce to cheese to crust for Chicago style are very on point. I usually go to Lou’s when I’m in chi town! Definitely gives me that Windy City pizza vibes I’m looking for! I usually get cheese and pepperoni and keep it simple but strongly effective! Lou’s is Bodies by Farny approved!

Mt Prospect location is take out only. I’m a thin crust pizza guy but when I do get a hankering for deep dish I order from Lou’s. Lots of topping choices for different tastes. Always fresh tasting ingredients made to order. As with many deep dish destinations, the crust is the backbone of their pies. Exceptional Malnati’s sausage pizzas are famous. I’m partial to pepperoni myself. But this time I went with a custom veggie. No regrets Malnati’s Salad is the smart add-on to your order. Can be a meal in itself Service at this takeout location is highly reliable. Lou’s makes a really good pie so having good service only makes sense

The food is always on point, the service always welcoming and friendly. Not much for an atmosphere, after all it being in the very corner of a plaza. Always take a pack of cookies, a happy treat.

Lou's is legendary. The buttery crust deep dish is a must when visiting the Chicago area. Lou's salad is also fantastic. This location is take out only.

Amazing, i’ve been ordering here weekly for about 3-5 years. Never have been disappointed, management is very helpful. They one time included a coupon for a free medium deep dish when the order came 30 minutes late. Moving to colorado soon and this restaurant will be one of the main things I miss from Chicago. Highly recommend!
