About 50ft from Wrigley Field.
You can purchase all the above.
I have a feeling this place will be busy over the weekend.

And any hot dog joint that serves Vienna hot dogs is good enough for me!

Sloan Park in AZ has it too.
(Not quite the same as the original, with only 3-4 items to choose from, but better than nothing.)

However, friends have gone and said the food was pretty good- they weren't expecting it to be as good as it was. She loved Mr. deweys biscuits and gravy.

This is named after what happened after digesting at least a pitcher of beer and a personal pizza at Lous. Goddamn holy hell my stomach felt like I ate a five pound stick of butter and chased it with a quart of bacon grease.
Just be warned that out of Towner's may not be up for a big Lou Malnati's pie....my advice would be to have a single piece.
I love Chicago...and seeing Pearl Jam there was probably the most fun I've had on a trip there....but an evening was severely impacted by working to digest what passes for pizza there.
I'm not the only person who has had this experience....still love you Chicago, I just happen to think your pizza is a potential bomb to the old stomach.
