IAN'S PIZZA REVIEWS

I stopped for a quick slice when I was visiting the state capital. They had many different choices available and the slices were large. I chose a more traditional slice which was sausage and pepperoni. It was very cheesy and the crust was thin, crunchy yet chewy and light which was perfect in my opinion. Definitely worth stopping in for and I will definitely be back to try other options.

Ian’s Pizza was an awesome choice for our wedding! The pizza was delicious, super fresh, and such a fun, crowd-pleasing option for dinner. Our guests absolutely loved it—there were so many great flavor options, and it felt relaxed but still really special. The team was super easy to work with and knew exactly where to go and how to set up at our venue, which made everything smooth and stress-free. If you’re looking for a wedding meal that’s tasty, fun, and guaranteed to make people happy, Ian’s is the way to go.

One of the better slices of buffalo chicken pizzas that I've ever had. The slice had no flop whatsoever. Crispy crust with a nice crunch when I bite into it. Delicious. Staff seemed pretty friendly and accommodating. Passing through Madison Wisconsin as a first-time guest in this city, this is my first time discovering Ian's pizza and I absolutely loved it. Got a total of three slices today.

PIZZA BRUTTA REVIEWS

I went to Pizza Brutta on a friday night for the first time and the atmosphere was electric and the pizza was amazing. While it was busy, the storefront was full of life. You can see the pizzas being made and fired and all the workers busying about. Sure, I had to wait maybe 20-30 minutes for a single pizza but it was a 70 degree Friday night in March. Everyone was out. I ordered the carbonara pizza and it was spicy and salty and the bacon was thick and the onions added needed contrast. I hate to mention this but Novanta pizza on University is a better pizza. While Pizza Brutta does everything great Novanta is the best. Their crust is lighter, the sauce is more acidic and flavorful, and the cheese is fresher and more pronounced - and it is cheaper. However, Pizza Brutta is only slightly behind in all of these categories and has better toppings and more options. The pizza was less perfect and far more fun and interesting. Get something unique here and you will not be disappointed.

We had a great dinner here with friends. This is the best pizza I’ve had in Madison. The Margherita pizza was outstanding. The fresh mozzarella and tomato sauce have great flavor, along with the basil. My husband had the Salumetto and ate the whole thing, which is a good sign he loved it! They have a cute, and pretty quiet patio in the back. Definitely will visit again!

Delicious, fresh, stone fire pizza. The crust is crispy and smokey on the bottom. Try the Diav for just enough spice! Great service, friendly and helpful.

GLASS NICKEL PIZZA CO. REVIEWS

Ordered some absolutely fabulous pizza here to go. Really liked the aesthetic inside when i popped in, very friendly. Service was prompt, prices extremely reasonable, and they had a lil bowl of my favorite minta out at the to-go counter. Lifesaver for getting my friend who came in on a late flight after some crazy delays a delicious hot meal at like 11 pm. We all loved our orders.

We were in Madison for the WIAA high school boys basketball finals for the state championship and wanted to get some pizza delivered to our hotel. We looked up pizza close to us... And picked the Glass Nickel Pizza Co. Everything we ordered was hot and delicious! Delivery was fast and friendly! I highly recommend ordering food from the Glass Nickel. You will be happy you did!

Food is consistent and good. Not breathtaking, but it's always a consistent level of quality for a fair price. They offer vegan options for their pizza which is huge for my partner. Service is outstanding, Angie behind the bar is a queen! Everything is clean, the aesthetic is fun, and they have trivia on Mondays which is super enjoyable.
