In today’s episode, we speak with Rick Malnati and Jean Malnati Miller, Co-Owners and operators of Lou Malnati's Pizzeria—a Chicago-style pizza restaurant chain headquartered in Northbrook, IL.
Since its grand opening in 1971, Lou Malnati’s has continued to be the most recognized pizza chain in Chicago. Lou’s son, Rick Malnati, and wife, Jean Malnati Miller, share how they’ve kept Lou’s vibrant legacy and vision alive, even through hardship. Today, they still use Lou’s signature pizza recipe and strive to maintain its warm, family culture.
Listen as Rick and Jean talk about how integrity and consistency play a large role in the brand’s longevity, how they expanded to 59 locations, and why Lou Malnati’s is the best deep dish pizza in America.
