Then again, Lou Malnati's has sit-down restaurants in Chicago and the suburbs, but in Rockford, they opened up a to-go-only spot earlier this year.

Woman's Day:

Chicago is synonymous with deep-dish pizza, and the warm and welcoming Lou Malnati's will be a hit with the whole family. For picky eaters who aren't a fan of deep dish, it offers a few thin crust options, as well as a gluten-free crust.

If you think about it, this is part of the reason why Lou Malnati's locations are so successful across the country, including Rockford.

The success of the Rockford location could lead to another Lou's opening in the area before we know it. It would complete the "warm and welcoming" Woman's Day referenced. Until then, we'll take our warmth to-go.
