Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria is coming to Oak Creek this summer.

The family-owned pizzeria, known for Chicago-style deep dish, is opening near Drexel Town Square at 8171 S. Howell Ave., Suite 300 offering carryout, curbside and delivery.

Second-generation owner Marc Malnati said “we set the bar high when it comes to hospitality.”

“In the midst of our second year as the sponsor of Summerfest Children’s Fest Day and on the cusp of opening our fifth location here, we could not be more grateful for how we’ve been welcomed as part of the fabric of this vibrant community,” Malnati said.

This is Lou Malnati’s fifth Milwaukee-area location and it needs phone staff, delivery drivers and kitchen crew, according to a news release. Candidates can apply through Indeed, Snagajob or online at www.loumalnatis.com/careers.

Lou Malnati’s operates locations in Brookfield, Fox Point, Greenfield and Waukesha in addition to over 60 locations in the Chicagoland area. The chain also has a presence in Arizona and Indiana. A Malnati family member has run the business since it started in 1971.
