So I’m originally from Schererville, but I lived above the Lou’s on State Street in Chicago for a year. I’ve eaten more Lou’s than I should for a lifetime. It’s good. I crave it sometimes. It’s not my favorite, but it’s different and unique enough. Some tips: the thin crust is garbage. Don’t waste your money. Order the deep dish, butter crust, and uncut. It tastes better and travels better. Secondly, you can order crumbled sausage rather than the patty sausage. I prefer it this way because the flavor blends much better. I think the popularity of this Lou’s opening will wear off as it was a madhouse the other night. They forgot the green peppers on my second pizza actually. However, I’d like to remind people to continue supporting the little guys. My favorite spot in the region is just a couple hundred yards down Main. As more of these massive chains move in to the area, don’t forget the mom and pops.
