| - Honestly, it was just meh.
Nothing great or spectacular, certainly nothing amiss or terrible. I searched Yelp for "the best Pizza in Madison" and this was popped up. Now mind you, I was with the hubs, who is Italian and a native Chicagoean, so his pizza tastes and standards are a little high. He seemed pleased, but that could be because I am an amazing dinner date.
We parked in the lot that is shared with the laundromat next door. It almost looks like you are going in the back door when you enter the building, but the host stand is right when you walk in. We were seated quickly. Initially the hostess took us to an adorable elevated table, but the people who were seated in the table across from said table were, large people and it would have been a tight sqeeze. I was flattered at the compliment (the host clearly though I was small enough to squeeze through the table and a man's gigantic back) but I would have appreciated the respect to be sat somewhere a little bit more comfortable. Because then my next question was, "what about this 2 top over here?" Which just makes me look like an elitist. She obliged and we were sat and greeted by our server almost immediately. Isabel (I think!) was knowledgeable in the beer list (which is pretty extensive) and seemed to have the menu memorized. One of the first things I said was, "we've never been here before" which to me opens up the door to "tell me about the good stuff!" Nope, Isabel was all business. When she rattled off the different types of crust (one of them being "hand tossed") I had to stop her and have her explain the different kinds. There isn't a deep dish option, if that's what you are wondering. But that's okay. We ordered the delux, hand tossed crust with mushrooms only on half. It came in a timely manner and was delivered neatly. We enjoyed the pizza and Isabel was nice enough to box up the leftovers (which we enjoyed for breakfast the next day).
TLDR: food was mediocre, but good. Service was very business-like. Would order delivery, but probably not dine in again.
