Is there anything tastier than pizza? Well, yes—free pizza! Specifically, free pizza from Lou Malnati’s.
The Chicago pizzeria is launching its new limited-time BBQ Chicken Pizza, and they are celebrating by giving it away for free. On June 17, Lou Malnati’s is hosting an intimate backyard BBQ from 4 to 7 p.m. in the parking lot of its West Loop location. They will be previewing their summer menu and giving away up to 2,000 free slices of pizza.
Besides enjoying a live DJ throughout the event, and at 5:30 p.m., you can participate in the “Dad Grilling Stance” contest for a chance to win a grill. In addition, you can enter to win a summer BBQ prize package that includes a $200 Lou’s BBQ catering package, an Igloo cooler, a grill, and exclusive Lou’s BBQ merchandise.

Lou Malnati’s is launching its new summer BBQ menu nationwide
The new BBQ Chicken Pizza, available in both deep-dish and thin crust, features grilled chicken, red onions, and handmade Bar-B-Lou sauce topped with a blend of mozzarella and cheddar on Lou Malnati’s signature crust, finished with fresh parsley.
The summer menu also includes the Chicken BBQ Club Salad, which is a mix of grilled chicken, Roma tomatoes, salami, and tortilla chips over romaine, tossed with mozzarella, cheddar, and handmade Bar-B-Lou dressing. And for dessert, the Chocolate Chip Cookie Pizza—which is served with vanilla bean ice cream and can even be ordered unbaked, to recreate the warm, fresh-baked restaurant experience at home.
Julie Younglove-Webb, CEO of Lou Malnati’s, said:
Summer is about good food, good people and a table with room for one more.
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.
