Throwback to November 14, 2013: To nobody's surprise, Jon Stewart went on a rant about Chicago deep dish pizza. The very next day, Marc Malnati fired back at the deep dish allegations... Take a look📹

But the best part came later. Jon invited Marc on the show to make deep dish and after one bite, even he admitted that Lou Malnati's was the real deal🍕

What people say

Italian restaurants are known for their delicious pizzas and Lou Malnati's on North Orchard Road in Aurora is no exception. What sets Lou Malnati's apart from other pizza places is their signature tomato sauce, which is the heart of their iconic deep dish pizza. The tangy, chunky sauce is generously ladled onto a bed of fresh mozzarella, creating a flavorful combination that cannot be hidden under a layer of cheese.

But it's not just the sauce that makes Lou Malnati's pizzas so special. Their cheese is sourced from the same Wisconsin dairy farm for over 40 years and is sliced, never shredded. The mozzarella is layered on top of the dough to provide a foundation for all their fresh ingredients, resulting in a legendary cheese pull that will leave you reaching for more.

Lou Malnati's dedication to perfecting every aspect of their pizzas extends to their crust as well. Their dough-making, pan-prepping, and crust-rising journey has led them to create pan-crafted perfection that ends their crust week on a golden note.

If you're looking to celebrate Memorial Day or any occasion with some cheesy goodness, Lou Malnati's is the place to go. Their commitment to quality ingredients and attention to detail make them one of the best Italian restaurants in Aurora.
