Maria's pizza is amazing. The first time I had it I said, "grandma's pizza!" because it reminded me so much of the homemade pizza she made when I was growing up. The crust is perfect and the sauce has great flavor. Their other food is good too but the 5 stars is based on the pizza, which is as good as any you can find in Madison (I think better). The style of the restaurant itself is no frills...the kind of little mom and pop place that's been around forever and is always busy. Good sign! We recently tried another pizza nearby... I won't say names... But my children really wanted to try it. I am perplexed how that other pizza place stays in business when Maria's definitely beats them in taste and quality AND price.
Oh, we order this for delivery all the time too. And the garlic cheese bread! Yummy add on for only $3.99!
P.S. I noticed a lot of reviews were people complained about canned veggies. Now, believe it or not, some people like canned mushrooms on their pizza (yuck) so Maria's does carry them. However, you can ask for fresh. We always specify fresh mushrooms. I don't believe we have ever had any canned veggies on our pizza there.
Highly recommend!
