There’s nothing quite like sharing a meal that brings back memories—and for our family, that meal is deep dish pizza. My husband’s family is from the Chicagoland area, so authentic Chicago-style pizza holds a special place in our hearts. Living here in North Carolina, though, it can be pretty tough to find genuine deep dish that hits all the right notes.
That’s why we were so excited to try Lou Malnati’s legendary Deep Dish Pizza, delivered straight to our doorstep. Yes—that Lou Malnatti’s. The iconic Chicago pizzeria known for decades of serving the real deal: buttery crust, rich and chunky tomato sauce, and ooey-gooey cheese that stretches with every slice. And let me tell you… it did not disappoint!
A Chicago Classic—Now Available Anywhere
Lou Malnati’s has been a Chicago staple since 1971, famous for its handmade pizzas and closely guarded family recipes. What makes their deep dish so special?
-
That buttery, flaky crust
-
Fresh mozzarella layered perfectly
-
Their signature vine-ripened tomato sauce
-
Quality toppings (their sausage is next-level!)
Fortunately, you don’t have to hop a plane to Chicago to enjoy it. Lou Malnati’s ships their iconic pizzas nationwide, packed in dry ice so they arrive perfectly frozen and ready to bake. Ordering is super simple, and you can choose from classic flavors like sausage, pepperoni, spinach, or their famous cheese.
What We Tried
We sampled the Sausage Deep Dish Pizza and the Cheese Deep Dish Pizza—and they were absolutely delicious.
The sausage pie was my husband’s immediate favorite. The sausage is bold, flavorful, and spread edge-to-edge—just like you’d get in a Chicago pizzeria. The cheese pizza was a total crowd-pleaser, too. That gooey mozzarella combined with the buttery crust… pure perfection!
As we sat around the table enjoying each flavorful bite, it truly felt like we’d brought a little piece of Chicago home for the holidays. It was such a fun, nostalgic treat for my husband, and honestly, it’s one of the best frozen-and-shipped pizzas we've ever had.

I just recently bought a three pack of these pizzas. The Cheese, Pepperoni and the Sausage and they were great.
