Tomatoes and spinach in deep dish always turn it to soup
WooIWorthWaIIaby
Love Lou’s but it’s crazy they let this pizza go out. You can literally see ingredients FLOATING in the pizza

do they serve that one with a soup spoon?

I only get deep dish like 5 or 6 times a year, but when I’m craving it it’s the best thing on the planet.
I know people are gonna shit all over this and claim “no Chicagoans eat deep dish just tavern style,” and “Lou’s sucks now it was only good 20 years ago” etc etc.
But I still think it has a place and is tasty as hell when the mood strikes.
This one is a bit wet though if I’m being honest lol. Yet I’d still go to town watching the game with my buddies after a few beers…

That needed another 7-10 minutes. Can’t believe how watery it is.

I ordered recently without tomatoes and it was also soupy. I ordered the classic one that has sausage on it. Was a flavourless soup.

The Lou slander on this sub has been something else the past few months!!

So this does look like a half this and half that pizza, so not sure about the tomato makes things more soupy but it sure looks……moist……Id say this….been to 2 different locations recently. They had differences in quality for sure. The one in Elk Grove was definitely better.
Also whatever you like deep dish or tavern style, it doesn’t matter. Whatever you crave at the time is fine by me. With that said their take home thin crust was the shit last time. Pro tip…for any frozen take home pizzas, butter your crust before cooking. Add a little garlic salt if you want. Elevates it for sure. Just be careful with the butter drippings in the oven. Might want to use a pan!

I thought you could only order a beef “wet”. TIL

That’s nice it even comes in a trash bag

I love Lou’s but their quality has been taking a nosedive lately. Maybe shrinkflation but the deep dish is getting thinner and thin crust toppings are very sparse. Pizzas getting smaller, too.

The comments in here are mostly great and sympathetic to OP. I feel slightly vindicated to read these comments, after I posted an abomination of a pizza way worse than this one, and the comments I got ranged from “shut up and eat it” to “you must be poor and disappointed with your splurge” 🤣
As a Lou’s hater I gave you an upvote for increased visibility. Thank you for your service OP

Lou’s lost their way.

I been a pizza maker for over 30 years and all I can say is that this looks pretty normal to me…. I’m not saying it looks appealing or even good but all I can say is that when you order a pizza with all those veggies plus the tomato sauce all you are going to get is a pizza like the one in the picture. Veggies are really juicy and on top let’s mention the pizza sauce.

Oh yeah. Pan crust? These people don’t know! That’s a hitter right there

Lou Malnati’s is just bad pizza. That’s all.

Whole tomatoes on a pizza is next level frescá. Bet it’s fire.

Lived here in chicagoland my whole life. Lous is fine, but it’s not what it used to be. It really depends on the location. This one is undercooked/too soggy. Also never get it pre-cut.
But if you want the best deep dish pizza in Chicago the best is Uncle Jerry’s in Cary, IL off the Metra line. Might be the best pizza in the entire Chicagoland. I’m more a Chicago thin crust fan but their deep dish is what Lou’s wishes it was. It’s not just the way they make their pizzas. But the ingredients they use. It’s a butcher shop essentially that decided to start making Pizza’s during Covid. They have the best meats, and tomato sauce I’ve ever had on a pizza. It hasn’t been around long but it already has the reputation in the chicagoland as top tier.

Deep dish pizza is like cats.
You mention you like it, and people start shitting all over it to you.
So odd…

Their new buffalo chicken pizza was incredible.

Quality for Lous has down the drain the last few years… don’t even bother getting Lous in Logan unless you want this watery mess , greasy and undercooked

Lived near the original one for 30 years. To go Lou needs to be put in the oven when you get it home. That takes care of the excess moisture build up.

Lou’s is mid at best.

I’ve had this happen at a few different restaurants. Problem is when you have that many toppings you NEED to ask for it well done. Now I always get my za’s well done, regardless of if it is deep dish or tavern.

Try the buffalo chicken deep dish. It was money.
