Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria Open in Lakewood

Friday afternoon while I was taking my son to a friend’s home in Lake in the Hills, I drove past the new Lou Malnati’s.

You could tell it was open by more than the sign.

There were cars in the parking lot on Ackman Road in Lakewood.

By the time I returned to take overnight supplies for a sleepover, the parking lot was packed.

Perhaps reservations are in order for this destination restaurant.

The opening appears to be about a week later than planned.

  1. They don’t take reservations. And they don’t use beepers. You have to put-in your name and wait.

    On Friday night, people were camping-out in their cars as they waited for a table: the parking lot was beginning to look like a shanty town.

  2. Best Chicago style pizza on the planet and well worth the wait. When I went last Friday at 5PM we were in within 45 minutes and the pizza took another 45. All to be expected opening week.

    We’ve been waiting for Lou’s in the Lith/Algonquin area for 10 years. Well worth the wait.
