In honor of National Pizza Month, Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria is rolling out a new limited-release Meatball Marinara Pizza.
The pizza, which features meatballs tossed in housemade marinara and signature vine-ripened tomato sauce topped with mozzarella cheese, will be available as both deep dish or thin crust beginning Thursday, Oct. 12 at all five Milwaukee area locations.
During the month of October, guests can also win free pizza for a year. Just head to the Lou Malnati's website to enter. Winners will be randomly selected each Friday throughout National Pizza Month and notified by email.
Fans will also be excited to hear that The Lou Malnati’s x Portillo’s Italian Beef Deep Dish has returned by popular demand, just in time for the holiday season. It's available for shipping nationwide through Lou Malnati's Taste of Chicago and for pick-up at all Lou Malnati’s locations in the grab-and-go freezer cases.
Guests can also take advantage of Lou’s special Family Dinner Deals, an initiative that encourages families to enjoy a meal together. The family dinners feed four people for less than $10 per person and are available seven days a week for carryout or delivery.
