New Lou Malnati's x Frank's RedHot® Buffalo Chicken Deep Dish and Thin Crust Pizza Available for a Limited Time Only at Lou Malnati's Locations and online at Tastes of Chicago Starting April 3.
CHICAGO, April 3, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Lou Malnati's Pizzeria, renowned for its legendary deep dish pizza, is bringing the heat with a new limited-time offering in partnership with Frank's RedHot®. On April 3, 2025, Lou Malnati's will introduce the BuffaLou Chicken Pizza, available in both deep dish and thin crust. Hungry fans can enjoy this bold creation for dine-in, carryout, and delivery at all Lou Malnati's locations. The BuffaLou Chicken Pizza is also available to ship nationwide through Tastes of Chicago.
This exclusive creation brings together two iconic brands known for bold flavors and high-quality ingredients. Lou Malnati's has been a leader in Chicago-style deep dish pizza for over 50 years, delivering an unforgettable experience with every slice. Founded in 1971, Lou Malnati's is considered the oldest—and most iconic—family name in authentic Chicago-style deep dish pizza. Frank's RedHot® has been bringing the perfect balance of flavor and heat to meals for over a century. Together they've created a one-of-a-kind pizza that combines Lou Malnati's secret family recipe known for its flaky, buttery crust with Frank's RedHot® Original Cayenne Pepper Hot Sauce for the hottest collaboration.
As the first official Frank's RedHot® Buffalo Chicken Pizza, this exclusive recipe will feature a proprietary blend of Lou Malnati's homemade ranch dressing and Frank's RedHot's Original Cayenne Pepper Hot Sauce. The chef-crafted blend will be made from scratch daily in-house and used as the pizza's 'sauce' combined with fresh Wisconsin mozzarella cheese, premium all-white meat chicken and fresh parsley drizzled with the secret sauce on top. The result? The first-ever, authentic Chicago-style deep dish BuffaLou Chicken Pizza that boasts the perfect combination of bold heat and creamy coolness.
To kick off the new collaboration, Lou Malnati's will give away 'RedHot Tickets' for a chance to win a trip to Chicago. From April 3 - April 9, 2025, customers will receive a RedHot Ticket with every purchase for carryout and delivery. The grand prize RedHot Ticket winner will receive a "Chicago Weekend"* including a complimentary hotel stay, dinner at Lou Malnati's Chicago location, free Lou Malnati's and Frank's RedHot® Sauce for a year, Chicago Fire FC VIP tickets, Second City tickets, and BuffaLou swag.
"We've used Frank's RedHot® for years to make our signature handcrafted BuffaLou wing sauce," said Marc Malnati, owner of Lou Malnati's Pizzeria. "Our guests can't get enough of our signature sauce—so, we teamed up with Frank's RedHot® to shake things up a notch and create something truly crave-worthy. The new BuffaLou Chicken Pizza recipe was inspired by our chefs, who serve this unique pizza recipe to our team members as a "family meal" before shifts. We felt this collaboration was a natural fit and the perfect partnership."
Additionally, to celebrate the hot new BuffaLou Chicken Pizza, Lou Malnati's is inviting fans to honor local firefighters in Chicagoland, the Phoenix metropolitan area, and the Milwaukee metropolitan area. Beginning April 10, fans can nominate their favorite "RedHot Hero" firefighter for a chance to win free Lou Malnati's and Frank's RedHot® for a year, plus a $500 donation to a charity of their choice.
