Wow what an amazing experience all around. I lived in Chicago from 2017-2020 and Lou’s is my fav and was a must stop while visiting Chicago for a hockey tournament. Everything about this location was beyond awesome. Susan our waitress so sweet and delivered a premium experience. The new pesto margarita pie was to die for an a must try! Everything was delightful and we are definitely going to stop by again before we fly out! Definitely a must when in the area and by far my best experience in all of the Lou’s I’ve visited throughout the city! Again I have to say SUSAN YOU ARE A TRUE GEM THANK YOU FOR MAKING OUR EXPERIENCE SO GREAT 🍕

Man this place was awesome!! I love deep dish pizza and this place does phenomenal deep dish at personal pizza sizes which I really appreciate.
Definitely try the butter crust when you're here. It's decadent! And the fried mozzarella was a perfect appetizer

Stopped by Illuminati’s in Naperville, Illinois, with some colleagues on a work trip to finally try authentic Chicago-style deep dish pizza. We started off with a couple of drinks, which were solid and well-made. For appetizers, we ordered the calamari and the buffalo chicken boneless bites—both were pretty good and came out fresh. we tried a fee deep dish pizzas: The Lou and the Meat Lover’s. The Lou had good flavor, but the amount of tomatoes was a bit excessive for my taste. As for the Meat Lover’s, my colleagues thought it was okay, though a few slices turned out a bit watery—maybe from oil or moisture in the toppings. Overall, the pizzas were good, but not amazing, and I think we realized deep dish just isn’t our personal favorite style.
On the plus side, the restaurant itself has a nice atmosphere, friendly service, and a convenient location. It’s definitely worth trying if you want to experience Chicago-style pizza firsthand, but for us, it was more of a “good once” type of stop than a must-return visit.

Amber was our server. She was fantastic. Attentive but not overbearing. We never wanted for anything. A great teammate. The food was delicious. I'm from out of town and wanted a pizza fix and it was on point. Oh, enjoyed the ducks. Lol! 👍👍👍👍

We were a family of 6 people visited for early dinner on a Saturday.
To find a parking spot is a challenge. There are street parking if you can find one and also a open free parking place behind the restaurant.
The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and very accommodating with vegetarian options.
We tried their famous deep dish pizzas, Mozzarella bites, some cocktails . All of them were delicious. We had a whole pizza to take out as well 😉
Check it out!
