Lou Malnati's is rolling out a limited-time BBQ Chicken Pizza as part of a summer menu expansion that includes a Chicken BBQ Club Salad and Chocolate Chip Cookie Pizza. The new pizza, available in deep dish or thin crust, combines grilled chicken, red onions, and the chain's handmade Bar-B-Lou sauce layered with mozzarella, topped with cheddar and fresh parsley. It launches June 18 at all Lou Malnati's locations across Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Arizona, with dine-in, carryout, and delivery options. Rewards members get early access beginning June 16. "Summer is about good food, good people, and a table with room for one more," said Julie Younglove-Webb, CEO of Lou Malnati's. "Our new BBQ Chicken Pizza, inspired by flavors of a backyard cookout, was made for exactly that. Paired with our Chicken BBQ Club Salad and Chocolate Chip Cookie Pizza, it's a meal made for bringing people together all season long." The Chicken BBQ Club Salad features grilled chicken, Roma tomatoes, salami, and tortilla chips over romaine with a mozzarella and cheddar blend and handmade Bar-B-Lou dressing. The Chocolate Chip Cookie Pizza arrives with vanilla bean ice cream and is available unbaked for customers wanting a fresh-baked experience at home. Nationwide shipping is available through TastesofChicago.com, where pizzas are handmade, baked fresh, and flash-frozen. Lou Malnati's will host a launch event June 17 at its West Loop location in Chicago, giving away up to 2,000 free slices starting at 4 p.m. The event includes live entertainment and a "Dad Grilling Stance Contest." **Why It Matters:** Seasonal menu innovation remains a key driver for regional pizza chains competing in a crowded market. Lou Malnati's direct-to-consumer shipping capability extends reach beyond its four-state footprint, positioning the brand to capture sales during peak outdoor dining season.
