Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria, based in Buffalo Grove, IL., announced that it will officially make Logan Square its newest location in the city of Chicago. The deep dish pizzeria is currently under construction at 3333 W Fullerton Ave in Chicago and slated to open on Tuesday, April 18, 2023 at 4pm. It’s located in a free-standing retail building at the corner of Fullerton and Kimball Avenues.
The menu is highlighted by the deep dish pizza and features thin crust along with appetizers, salads, pastas and desserts. The 1,600 square foot space will offer carryout and delivery options to local residents.

Restaurant hours will be Monday – Thursday 4pm – 10pm, Friday – Saturday 11am – 11pm and Sunday 11am – 9pm.
Lou Malnati’s will celebrate opening day on Tuesday, April 18, with events and festivities. The new Logan Square location will be open from 4pm – 10pm with activities starting at 3pm. In addition, guests will be entered for a raffle and the chance for five lucky Lou’s fans to win Free Pizza for a Year. The celebration will continue with a Special Events Ribbon Cutting Ceremony with the Logan Square Chamber of Commerce at 3pm. Also, the first 100 carry out orders will receive a limited edition Lou Malnati’s t-shirt to commemorate the new store opening.
Malnati’s will hire approximately 50 local employees for the Logan Square pizzeria and is looking to fill various positions including delivery drivers, kitchen crew and team members.
The team is thrilled to open a new location in the city of Chicago. “It’s great to add to our growing list of restaurants to better serve the Northwest side of Chicago and help make our iconic deep dish pizza more available and convenient to the residents of Logan Square,” said Marc Malnati in a statement. “We’re committed to providing jobs at our restaurants while supporting the local communities we serve. We’re grateful for the overwhelmingly positive response of customers who love our food, family and hospitality,” Malnati added.
The Malnati family has become known for their original deep dish pizza recipe, quality and hospitality since opening in 1971. The company is still owned and operated by second generation family members as Lou Malnati’s son, Marc Malnati, proudly carries on the family tradition and honors their legacy. Celebrating over 50 years in business, the company is still growing and thriving as it currently operates over 75 locations in Chicago, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, and Phoenix. In addition, Lou Malnati’s ships its deep dish pizza nationwide through Tastes of Chicago.
