Overview
- Lou Malnati’s announced it will stop dine-in and carryout at its Gold Coast flagship at 1120 N. State St., with operations ending there on June 30.
- The company said the closure followed the building owner’s decision not to renew the lease because they plan to redevelop the site.
- Delivery service for the neighborhood will continue from a temporary kitchen run by the same team and orders can be placed by phone, online, or through the Lou’s app.
- Lou Malnati’s is actively scouting alternative near-north locations and has said it may seek a space within the planned redevelopment at 1120 N. State.
- The building was bought in September 2025 by Convexity Properties for $39 million as part of a district revitalization push, a change that highlights how property turnover is reshaping longtime neighborhood businesses.
