      "text": "I came to Chicago as a tourist and definitely wanted to try Chicago-style pizza. I didn't know much about the different types of pizza or what to order, so I decided to visit the famous Lou Malnati's.\nThere are several Lou Malnati's locations in Chicago, and I chose the one on N. Wells St. because they offer a personal-size pizza, which was perfect for me.\nThe service was great. Grace was very kind, friendly, and helpful. Since I was a tourist and didn't know much about Chicago pizza, I really appreciated her help and guidance.\nThe deep-dish Chicago pizza was absolutely delicious!\nI really enjoyed my experience here, and I'll definitely come back to this location the next time I visit Chicago",

      "text": "Booked a reservation and pre-ordered a large classic deep dish pizza for 7 pm, but we didn't actually get our pizza until 8:10, which wasn't a big deal to me personally but just putting that out there that you still might have to wait a bit if you pre-order. I didn't mind waiting because it gave me and my partner a chance to look over the menu more and ask our server for recs, to which he recommend the Lou Malnatis salad. This salad honestly blew my expectations and I can see why it's such a crowd favorite - the roasted salami bits and gorgonzola cheese provided a really nice savory contrast with the sweet vinaigrette they used. \n\nWhen it comes to the deep dish pizza however, I think deep dish style just isn't for me. You can taste all the ingredients (the cheese, tomato sauce and sausage) but they don't really come together in a cohesive manner. I had one bite and I didn't really feel compelled to take another after, it reminded me of my own home cooking when I would add too much tomato sauce and overcooked the cheese on a lasagna. \n\nI'm not saying deep dish pizza or Lou Malnatis is bad necessarily, the service was friendly and attentive, I just think a regular pizza is more my speed.",
