CHICAGO (WLS) -- Lou Malnati's serves its savory deep dish pizza with a twist each February when the Chicago eatery offers heart-shaped pizzas to celebrate Valentine's Day.

The classic crust, sauce, and hearty toppings are all baked in; the pizza tastes the same too. But when you take a look at the finished product, you'll feel the love.

For those curious about how a Malnati's pizza is made, here's the step-by-step:

1. Sliced mozzarella is layered directly on the dough

2. Toppings are added, always spread out to give the cheese room to breathe

3. A scoop of sauce is hand-spread across the pizza

4. Parmesan cheese is sprinkled on top

5. The pizza goes in the oven and then is served up hot
