Quality of Lou’s overall has gone downhill. Only time we get it is if they have a coupons out. Georgio’s in Crystal Lake (original spot) and South Barrington Arboretum has really good deep dish. There are also (2) local spots to by me that do a legit deep dish pizza. Piasano’s in Elburn and Joseph’s in Wasco.

I think it does depend on which location at this point. My normal spot, the Elk Grove, location is still pretty good......the Prospect Heights (delivery only) place is definitely subpar.

Yep, we have a giodanos in Orlando which I do not go to very often and a Rosatis an hour away.
Funny, there’s a rosatis about an hour away too but it’s not very good unfortunately. Maybe it’s better now, haven’t been in like 10 years

Yesterday I stopped a Lou's to pick up a fresh pizza and two frozen ones.
I can confirm that they are now indeed skimping.

Right away I noticed that the fresh pizza box AND the frozen ones were light.
When I got home, I checked them all and sure enough, they're all thinner.

We are truly living in the end of times.

When Shawn1112 Shawn1112 posted his dine in pizza it looked a little on the thin side. His take out from Schaumburg or wherever looked legit though.

I got Lou’s on Tuesday in Naperville dine in with the family for lunch. The one on Jefferson. I ordered a medium and it seemed ok, maybe a bit light. I asked for it to be cooked more and the waiter said ok but it came out looking normal.

What I decided I don’t like about Lous is the overpowering garlic taste of the sauce. I would guess they are putting fresh pressed garlic juice in the sauce. It’s ok and I’ll eat it but prefer Pequods.
