| - I'm giving them three stars, but I want to stress that the quality of the pizza is closer to two--the extra star is for the outstanding service.
My friend and I spent the day biking from Madison to Mt. Horeb, hoping to go to the Grumpy Troll for pizza and beer, but the pizzeria was closed! We ended up heading over to this place for lunch (then back to the GT for beer).
Service was outstanding--overly nice staff, pizza came out quickly, etc.
We got a pizza with jalapenos and pepperoni on one side, ham (I'm a horrible Jew) and pineapple on the other. The jalapenos and pineapple definitely came from the can. That's a huge, huge no-no in my book.
We went with the thin crust, which was definitely a premade crust. The pizza was made on a conveyor belt oven, which most pizza people consider bush league (I know I do).
The pizza was fine. We were starving from biking 25+ miles, so we plowed through the whole thing! The ingredients here, though, were definitely not fresh. The crust was too thin, like a cracker. We did get free water bottles, though!
The total for a medium was $13.75. That's alright, although I think a chain like Dominos is pretty close to them in terms of quality. This certainly isn't five star pizzas, and a place like Great Scott's wouldn't last a month back home on the East Coast.
Next time I go to Mt. Horeb, I'm going to stick to the Grumpy Troll--their pizza is better and there's beer there. Considering the offerings in this tiny town for pizza, this stuff is alright.
