| - This review is about the Atwood Glass Nickel only. I've not been to their other locations.
The best food to get here: Specialty Pizzas, some appetizers (Tots and Cheese!), and the Salads. Seriously, these are the best salads on the east side.
Is it a little pricey? Maybe. But if you want delivery, it's convenient. You can pay online and you don't need to use cash (unlike a lot of eastside establishments). And although their tap selection is modest, it usually has some decent, notable beers.
A word of warning: If you're doing take-out, the food seems to decline in quality. A few months back, on a Friday I met a friend for lunch. I got the fish and chips. They were good. Not the best, but not bad for $10. Then, a couple of weeks back, I ordered the same thing for take out. Not good at all. Two tiny pieces of fish, less than a handful of floppy fries; the cole slaw was FROZEN solid, and the tartar sauce was some Sysco packets. I mean, come on. IT'S WISCONSIN. We eat fish like every Friday. Get some mayo and relish and make some tartar sauce. How tough is it? I've had better (and cheaper) fish fry on State Street.
I tried their pasta the other day. Not good. Paid $10 for six Ravioli and some sad drips of sauce.
Stick to the pizza.
I think that the GNP is a great place to go with a friend, get an app and some salads or a Specialty Pizza--but despite a really comfortable interior, sometimes the servers are rude, which is ridiculous. East-siders are great customers.
If you just want a solid pizza with good sauce, or a good sandwich, you're better off heading down the road to Harmony.
Glass Nickel Pizza is okay, but used to be better. I hope that they get their groove back.
