I first experienced Ian's at the Chicago location. Now granted the alcohol may have created a biased opinion, but after realizing there was an Ian's in Madison, I was immediately enthused. The idea of putting delicious dishes onto pizza which is almost always delicious in and of itself is mind boggling for sure.
Upon our arrival, we ordered 4 differnt slices to share and sample. We took our treasures nearby lakeside to watch the sunset over bbq chicken, pesto alfredo, philly cheesesteak, and some other flavor I can't recall. If it weren't for the scenery, the whole experience was wholly disappointing. All four flavors were lacking in well, flavor. The bbq chicken was the only decent of the four and the pesto was a far second. Overall, it was quite the disappointment.
I don't recommend eating at Ian's unless you've had a few, but I do encourage you to stray half a mile near the school's campus to partake in the live music and summer scene.
