| - Great little pizza place off of Old Sauk Rd. I met a co-worker out for dinner and Novanta was her pick as she wanted to stay on the far west side of Madison. Once we got together, we started chatting away about life, and I missed taking photos of our actual food (I assure you it looked & tasted delicious)!
Novanta is run by the same owners as cafe porta alba in Hilldale Mall, and is a less formal version that serves personal sized pizzas, cooked at high temperatures. You order at the counter and your food is served to you at your table. A limited selection of beer and wine is also available.
Seating inside is limited, however I have never had to wait for a seat. It is a great choice for take out as well.
Pros: Delicious food and buffalo mozzarella (need I say more?!), extremely friendly staff, only a very short wait for pizza since high temps are used for cooking, no reservations needed, plenty of parking.
Cons: Novanta has a little bit of a fast food feel to it, so I wouldn't necessarily recommend it as a date night spot, and they have a limited menu selection.
All in all--Definitely worth checking out if you're on the west side of Madison!
