Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria

The Chicago-style pizza chain Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria plans to open its first Indianapolis location at 2902 W. 86th St.

Lou Malnati’s, which is based in Chicago, also has signed a lease for a 1,549-square-foot space at 11435 Spring Mill Road in Carmel. The site is part of The Bridges, a 65-acre mixed-use development developed by Indianapolis-based Gershman Partners. The development includes 250,000 square feet of retail space.

The pizzeria will occupy a spot adjacent to the Trader Joe's grocery store in that development.

These two Lou Malnati’s sites will join an Indianapolis-area location at 2902 W. 86th St. The 1,600-square-foot space is in the Willow Lake West shopping center just east of Michigan Road, near The Pyramids office complex.
