on Citysearch Nov 17, 2009The pizza is very good but the pasta is even better. Chatting with Louisa was nice. She proudly stated the pasta and the sauce are made fresh daily. And you can tell. (more)

on Citysearch Oct 01, 2009We came for pizza on the recommendation of a local. We were not disappointed. The pizza is in the Unos/Dues tradition, not surprising since Louisa worked for Dues for 25 years. The crust is flaky with serious homemade... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 18, 2009owners are very unfriendly. Staff is just "ok" I can't believe that the waitress have to make their own drinks because there is no bartenders. Salad is very blah and bland and nothing to it except white onions. Who puts... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 09, 2008The Pizza is FANTASTIC. The service 'ok' at best. The servers seem to reflect the attitude of the owners - 'who cares'. The family that owns the place (always 4-5 of them) are a constant source of entertainment for us.... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 20, 2008I recently had a family event at Louisa's pizza. My grandmother and I were waiting for my uncle and they would not seat us until my uncle arrived. My grandma is 82 and suffered a stroke and they made her stand for about 15... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 18, 2008Wow! One of the best pan pizza's on the south side! Very similar to lou malnati's. I agree with a previous review. The atmosphere leaves something to be desired. Ok service. Dreary decor, poor lighting. In my opinion... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 29, 2007Ive been eating there for over 10 years because the pizza is good. THe portions from the thinknes to the pizza to the lack of salad is a joke. Their clearly cutting back to save money. I love the pizza but the pasta is... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 08, 2005<b>In Short</b><br>Louisa De Genero opened her restaurant in 1981, and the decor of faux brick walls with strips of mirror has remained much the same since. Family photos are propped along the back of the room's... (more)
