| - Looks like I'm the one to spoil the party of 3-star or higher reviews. Had to happen sometime...
I've been to Falbo's in Verona twice. The first time, I got a thin crust pizza. It was decent, better than Papa John's or Dominos, but nothing to call home about. I wouldn't turn it down if a friend were ordering it, but am unlikely to go back for it myself as there are others in the area I prefer.
The second time, I got their deep-dish stuffed pizza, and had high hopes for it as ordinarily Chicago-style pizzas are amongst my favorites. Sadly, this was not to be at Falbo's. The overwhelming problem was the sauce was much too sweet. On the thin crust pizza, this hadn't been that noticeable - the sauce was milder than I prefer, but not offensive. Increase the amounts to what's on the stuffed pizza, and the sweetness became very evident and distracted from the rest of the pizza. I could still finish it, but I would not get it again. Much better to just get Uno if you're in Madison, or wait until your next trip to Chicagoland.
Overall, two stars. You might like it if you prefer sweeter sauces, and the thin crust is worth trying if you don't have a go-to pizza place in Madison. But skip it if you don't live here. "I've experienced better" describes it fairly well.
