Lou Malnati's Heart-Shaped Pizzas Return to Support Make-A-Wish in February

Celebrate Love with Lou Malnati's Heart-Shaped Pizzas

This February, Lou Malnati's, a beloved name in the deep-dish pizza community, is gearing up for a special occasion. Starting February 1, the well-known pizzeria is reviving its tradition of heart-shaped pizzas, perfect for sharing and celebrating love. Not only will these pizzas delight pizza lovers, but they also come with a heartwarming purpose: for every heart-shaped pizza sold, Lou Malnati's will donate $1 to local Make-A-Wish chapters across Illinois, Wisconsin, and Arizona.

Heart-Shaped Pizzas and More

The heart-shaped pizzas are a fan-favorite item at Lou Malnati's, enticing customers with their flaky, buttery crust, Wisconsin mozzarella, and rich tomato sauce. They are available in classic varieties, including cheese, pepperoni, and sausage. For the first time, customers can also enjoy specially crafted heart-shaped desserts. Joining the pizza lineup are delightful heart-shaped cookies and Eli's heart-shaped cheesecake, making this offering an even sweeter experience.

Not only can customers dine in, but they can also enjoy takeout and delivery options, with unique Make-A-Wish bundles available for online ordering. These bundles include two heart-shaped pizzas, a heart-shaped cookie, and a slice of Eli's cheesecake — another excellent way to contribute as Lou Malnati's will donate $2 for every bundle sold.

Making Wishes Come True

Lou Malnati's commitment to the Make-A-Wish cause is about more than just fundraising. The pizzeria also aims to create joyful memories for wish children. Throughout February, Lou Malnati's will host special pizza-making parties, where wish kids and their families can craft their heart-shaped pizzas together, fostering moments of friendship and fun. Additionally, special celebratory dinners will be organized for families waiting for their wishes to be fulfilled, ensuring they experience the deep-dish love in a shared environment.

One such child benefiting from this initiative is 13-year-old Sutton from Surprise, Arizona, who has had her wish to design a special T-shirt granted, now contributing her creative designs to the Lou Malnati's staff, who will proudly wear them through the month. Other incredible stories come from Annie and Kennedy, who, despite their health challenges, look forward to creating unforgettable memories.

A Generous Commitment

Lou Malnati's aims to donate up to $50,000 to the local Make-A-Wish chapters through this month-long initiative, emphasizing the importance of community and the special moments that pizza can bring. Lou Malnati's CEO, Julie Younglove-Webb, expresses that these heart-shaped pizzas are not just about food but about connecting families and granting wishes. Each pizza sold provides a chance to make a child’s dream come true, underlining the very essence of giving during this love-filled month.
