Lou Malnati's to open its fifth Central Indiana location
Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria is opening a fifth Indianapolis-area location, this one in Avon.
The suburban Chicago chain, famous for its deep-dish pizza, in the fall will add a spot at 8802 E. US Highway 36. The building is adjacent to Costco in the Harvest Landing shopping center.
There won't be a dining room at the 1,760-square-foot store, which will offer carryout, delivery and drop-off catering services.
Lou Malnati’s opened carryout and delivery locations in Carmel and at 2902 W. 86th St. in Indianapolis in October 2020 and March 2021, respectively, before opening its only local dine-in restaurant in November 2021 in the Broad Ripple neighborhood.
The chain will open a store in Greenwood this summer.
