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!

Awesome. Pure craftsmanship

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

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

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!!

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

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

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 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.

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.

Best of the regional pizza styles and my favorite pizza without question.

é uma obra de arte . parabéns , deu vontade .

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!!

genuinely thrilled to see a video of pizza, with comments full of sharing stories of pizza. good stuff 🥹✨

The ULTIMATE PIZZA!! Thanks so much for sharing!!

I would eat this pizza from these hands everyday . It was made with love ❤️

看著看著……口水都流下了😍超愛吃披薩😍😍

CHICAGO this is one city what more beautiful.

Used to live in chicago with my now deceased wife, we had beautiful memories living in Chicago including this marvelous place🙂

I used to live and work within a couple blocks of this very place. Nice to see you in a recognizable place.

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

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!

I’m from the UK and my friend in Chicago took me to Lou’s when I was there. Blew my mind 👍

When I order the first pie I always ask for easy sausage, otherwise it is like a sausage patty. The second one is called The Lou, the thin crust version is also delicious. Those seasoned pans make a big difference, crispy flavorful crusts! I know many Chicago ex-pats who get their taste of home from Lou Malnati's mail order.

People have a big misconception about pizza in Chicago. The favorite is Chicago thin crust, or often called pub or tavern pizza, the dough is folded, the then put through a dough sheeter multiple times to create a "cracker crust". They are always cut into squares after baking. Chicago Thin outsells deep dish (aka pan) by about 30 to one or more in the Chicagoland area. They love their deep dish, but it's only a once in a while treat, a single slice of deep dish averages 700 calories, and it's so good, that it's very difficult to eat just one piece.

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

Visited Chicago for the first time, a year ago. We took a walking tour of the city and a stop was in Lou’s. I was so disappointed when they set the spinach pizza in front of me. However, it was one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had! Now, I have them shipped to my home. Delicious pizzas!

We recently got a Lou Malnatis in Milwaukee and I'm stoked to try it! It's a thin crust town, but we need to expand our horizons, and out belts!

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

I've had pizza all over the states and Lou's is, by far, the very best, no questions asked.

My favorite pizza, I have it shipped to my house fairly often, still comes out very well.

Wow! I wish I could have any one of these pizzas! To die for, simply amazing!!

As a Chicagoan i love me some Lou Malnati's. This video has me hungry so I might just go get some now lol

i went to Lou Malnati's when I visited Chicago in 2018. first time eating deep dish pizza and I still miss it everyday 😭

Made great with fresh ingredients,flavor color cooked very well, and cooked with style and heart love understanding on who to make a very good and tastes pizza.

I love ❤️ Chicago Pizza 🍕 Delicious 😋 greetings from Downtown Tampa Bay ❤️

I like how this video has no words from the cook, and I like the sound of the pans hitting up against the counter, kind of ASMRish. 😁🍕

wow! looks so delicious 😍

I never thought that I would enjoy deep dish, til I started making it in my cast iron pan. Just one of many styles I love to make..

Have to agree to that. When I got to the office in Wood Dale, I try to get there for dinner.

This is the best video I’ve ever seen that beautifully depicts the making of one of the world’s best pizzas. The after baked shots were beyond the beyond. Lou’s is one of my fave spots in Chicago. I’ve also been to the one in Phoenix. Just the best. Hats way off to whoever filmed and edited this. Excellent job. I wish there was a Lou’s where I currently live but alas there is not. No Chicago style pan or stuffed pizza here. 😢 I learned a lot watching this. I’ve made stuffed and pan pizza before but never near as good as in the restaurants. I’m going to try again utilizing what I’ve learned here. Thanks!

The greatest pizza in the world is in Chicago hands down.

Very generous on the ingredients. Looks awesome.

When the sauce hit the pie my mouth was watering. Man I miss those pies.

One of the places I miss most about home.

I want some ,it looks so good.

I've been to this place once, back in high school. It was absolutely amazing!

Lou Malnati's is DEFINITELY the best pizza in Chicago. i love it

My favorite try the butter crust for a tasty treat. We have one locally always busy but oh so good! Cheers

I'm going to have to plan a trip, this looks divine! I live in a very rural high desert area, I can't get decent pizza for 30 miles. I might as well just go to Chicago! 😄

Wow!!! I can watch that blue gloved pizza maker work his magic all day long!!! Very satisfying.

Love hearing the sound of banging plates in the background

Traveling hundreds of miles just to eat is so crazy, but I will go all the way to Philly just for a real cheese steak and all the way to Chicago for a real deep dish pizza.

I’m heading to Chicago next week for vacation. I’ll be trying as many Chicago classics as possible to include: Superdawg, Johnnies Italian Beef, Lou Malnatis and probably Pequods among other restaurants. I cannot wait!

Oh my Goodness!! Looks AMAZING!!

pizza al molde !! con masa alta. es muy popular en Sudamerica, en Argentina es Tradicional. ojalá hicieran otro programa mostrando otra pizzeria o elaboracion . saludos! pizza mold with high dough. It is very popular in South America, in Argentina it is Traditional. I wish you would do a program showing another Pizzeria or elaboration. Regards!

I’ve lived in Chicago my whole life of 56 years. Lou Malnatti’s has the best pizza in Chicago. The other top pizza places are Ginos East, Nancy’s Pizzeria Uno and Lyonna’s. But Lou clearly is the best. All homemade pizzas. 😆😆🇺🇸🇺🇸👍🏼

wow looks so delicious , mssed chicago style pizza, one of my favorite growing up in Chicago , IL

That look pretty good. Thanks for sharing.

Greetings from Amsterdam . I enjoyed this video so much , And I love pizza , I never heard of a deep dish pizza until this video . I plan to come to America this Summer , I'll stop in Chicago for two days . to try it .

I Love Chicago Pizza, I wanted to eat this because it's my favourite 💜💛💜💛💜💛

My favorite pizza of all time. I order their frozen pizzas a few times a year. 6 for $119. Not a bad deal at all....delivered in two days and tastes better than any pizza chain

Mantab topping nya padat merayap 👍👍👍👍😋

Amazing ......I hope I can Visit this Place.....They are the top of the Line !

Wow! This is so incredible! I love traveling with you! : )))

that pizza sauce looks incredible!

Coming from Chicago/Suburbs, Lou Malnati's was always amongst my top 1 or 2 pizza places; a must try if you visit!

Damn good vid,no talking or cheesy music. A+ all the way!

Seriously it's so good. Take it from a local, always order either the plain cheese of the sausage

Lo más delicioso que han visto mis ojos hasta el momento

That veggie one looks out of this world!!!!!

LOVED this ASMR video!

That pizza looks awsome, I can’t wait to place an order with you guys

Alhamdulillah Tabarokallah, Good Luck

Looks so good!!! Im salivating🤤

My mouth is watering. We need that in Atlanta, Ga

Lous is hit or miss at best. Lots of local places that are much better. This is for tourists. Good luck finding the better pies.

Very beautiful 👍👍

Lou’s has the best Chicago style pie! Grad of Loyola class of 2012. Go Ramblers!

I was always a deep dish guy. Lou's is my favorite.

Dam wish we had this in Australia

Having lived in Chicago for 4 months and tried various deep dish pizza places, I can agree that so far Lou Malnati's is the best. Their Chicago Classic pizza which comes with sausage, and extra cheese on their buttercrust is simply divine.

Man that looks good!!

Amazing. you can tell this kind of food was created by people who knew what it was like not to have food. This pizza is definitely a celebration of bread meat and cheese cant wait to try this.

That pizza is so good! Had it many times.

This is exactly the amount of cheese I like in my pizza. That looks so stuffed with lots of yumminess

I remember watching these videos during class and being SO HUNGRY LOL I miss those days already.

I appreciate the building concept of this pizza. I had a "Chicago" pizza once. Cheese was 1 1/2 inches thick. I believe that a pizza should taste almost as good cold as hot. But hot is better. I also like the multiple layers. Those tomatoes on top! As it cooks down and oozes through the layers are going to settle with flavors of everything else. I might have to eat here sometime. Looks great!

I've never had a Chicago pizza, I want one so bad

I'm lactose intolerant but I will risk it all for this pizza!

Pizza artist they look delicious before they’re cooked and even after they’re cooked they look even better yet. From Pennsylvania and I am drooling

Chicago is pretty well known for its food and stuff.... PIZZA? Is a way of life. LOU'S is some of THE BEST.

11:40 so good👍😍

So in love with anything tomatoes especially pizza and lasagna , who doesn't.

Lou's is incredible!

Looks very good 👍 👌 I'll have a slice of each please Thank you for sharing uploading
