No, Lou Mal's style of Chicago deep dish pizza wasn't the original (based on my research). BUT, Lou IS one of the founders of the original deep dish pizza concept. If you ask me, it doesn't matter if they're not the original, because they're THEE BEST!!! I've tried everyone elses pizza and for me, I can't really take the thick layer of tomato sauce most of the places have or the thick dough. Lou made Chicago pizza right with a not too thick layer of sauce and the dough crunchy and thin. I don't know why these other reviewers are complaining since the building is one of the original locations, but the pizza itself is the best and can be delivered all around the world.
Pros: BEST Chicago style deep dish pizza, location one of the originals
Cons: small parking lot, delivery/cooking time is long (but necessary)
