Lou Malnati's $5 off $20 Coupon

Everyone who likes deep dish says it's great. Once I ordered a Taste of Chicago pack FedEx'd to me in IA. It was Malnati's pizza, (some good vendor's) hot dogs, and Eli's cheesecake. I gotta' say, not impressed. All 3 were subpar. It was $70 or more. None of them were very good. They're all reported to be excellent, so I have to believe ordering pre-made food via FedEx w/cooler isn't the way to go.

Any pizza with the sauce on top of the cheese is a different creature.

I've got one within walking distance (chicago area), thanks for the post. I'm going to take advantage of this tonight.

Lou Malnati's is great. Much better than Gino's East and Pizzaria Uno.

BTW, The pizza you get at the restaurant is much better than the mail order stuff.

Agreed.

Lou Malnati's > Gino's >>> Uno's

I've signed up for this email club too and have been invited to Food Network tapings and other events. I've always been invited to the Buffalo Grove location so doesn't know if that makes a difference in sign up...

Gino's is my favorite, with Lou's second. Luckily I have both within walking distance.

Any open units in that building? That's about as good as it gets.

Gino's and Lou's > Uno's and Giordano's

Though between Gino and Lou, it's just what I'm in the mood for that day. Thanks!

Lou's pizza is AWESOME, my favorite. I have had the mail order pizza and agree as well that it's NO comparison. The fresh in store is WAY better. Had an experience where I had ordered 1 cheese and 1 sausage shipped to a friend's place that i was visiting out of state. The Cheese was okay, but the sausage pizza tasted off. I called back into the ordering center to tell them about it and they shipped another one out free. The replacement was a little better, but still not close to the real thing. Not a fan of Gino's, as I don't like their sauce. And I hear Uno's in the burbs is different than Uno's in the city, as the burbs is not under the same franchise, so they don't have the same recipe. Giordano's is good too, but you have to be in the in the mood for stuffed pizza, though still very satisfying.

thanks for the heads up. i was planning to try out all the chicago stuffed pizzas via mail order (i'm out of state), but i guess i'll skip Lou's. i've already tried Giordano's, and i didn't like it too much (way too cheesy!).

if anyone can recommend any other chicago pizza mail orders, i'd appreciate it!
