Chicago Food - The BEST DEEP DISH PIZZA in America! Lou Malnati's Pizzeria

[robberbarron]

Hey guys, I’m a kitchen worker at Lou Malnatis and thanks for everyone’s appreciation. It takes a lot of time and effort to prepare and make all the ingredients for a pizza like the dough and topping like the spinach mix. Btw this is my favorite pizza :)

I never get tired of pizza because there is so much variety and creativity. I grew up with Lou's and while I've since moved away from Chicago and I've come to appreciate a lot of other really great pizzas the original always brings me back to my childhood and back to the days when Lou only had a single pizzeria and life was a lot simpler. Ciao.

I used to travel for work to Chicago a couple times a month and developed a taste for deep dish pizza. I used to bring pies home with me when I drove there in an ice chest. Now I make a Chicago style deep dish pizza at home about once a month. I used a 22 inch cast iron skillet for my pan and coat it butter and evoo than dust it with finely grated parmigiana cheese and stretch my dough out on the counter and transfer it into my preferred pan like a pie crust. As for how I top my pie just like what you saw on this video. As for the sauce I make my own from canned whole tomatoes and add some herbs and spices but my secret step is I drain the liquid from the cans of tomatoes and boil it down slowly until it’s basically a sauce and then add that back to whole tomatoes that I have chopped up but not cooked. Lastly because I like onions and artichokes I place sliced ones on top of the sauce along with a dusting of the undisputed king of cheeses and a drizzle of evoo

As a Chicagoan, when we say, I had a slice of pizza and I'm full", we mean it!

You know that crust will be good when you see those dark, seasoned pans! Love it!

I have several cousins that live in Chicago and they're always telling me how good deep dish pizza really is. Definitely would love to try it.

Absolutely beautiful...Grew up on the South side...hadn't done Lou's in a couple of years, but when I used to fly into the city and got downtown, I ducked into the store behind the Merchandise Mart and enjoyed a personal pan before I visited anyone. Thanks Lou!!

All three look delicious, but that spinach one had me drooling 🤤. Chicago knows how to do it.

Looks amazing and yes I love that it’s not overly sauced.

I’m from LA and I can honestly say, Chicago has the best food.

I had a Lou Malnati's pizza in Phoenix, Arizonia. Loved it. Definitely want go back or go to one in Chicago.

I moved away from the Chicago area a number of years ago, but I miss Lou Malnati's so much. I make a pretty decent facsimile myself these days (thanks mostly to videos like this), but nothing beats an original from one of the legendary handful of places in Chicago that do them so well.

One hell of a meal.

I visited Chicago for the first time in October 2021. I asked a friend who grew up in the Chicago area where to try deep dish pizza, her answer was Lou Malnati’s. Lucky for me, there was one about 6 blocks away from my hotel, so I ate there my last night before leaving. It was delicious!

This is a really good visual on how different Deep Dish is from Stuffed.

I was just at GIORDANO'S for Father's Day. Haven't been there since 93. It was amazing. Their cheese pull was WAY WAY more...& they were going fast not slow. So imagine that. Solid cheese surrounded the entire slice

I was at Chicago 3 years ago and the when me and my mother got settled in our hotel, we went Lou Malnati's for Dinner!!

The food was spectacular, love their deep dish. We will come back!!

All I know is I just want a slice RIGHT NOW! OMG, it all looks soooo yummy.

I’m loving how he’s putting the sauce on top and then mashing it in. Very cool technique.

[edlococo]

Very generous on the ingredients. Looks awesome.
