Jeff and Josh are Politos! Always great assortment of pizza choices and the knots are too good not to order also. Try the spinach,tomato and feta! My favorite there.

I've only ever been in here between the hours of 12 AM to 2 AM, one of dozens in a line of college students grabbing food in between bars. It is an honorable service they provide, pizza is great.

Polito's is our Friday night haunt! Everyone in our house has a favorite slice and we are now super into the garlic knots!

First time at Polito’s, staying in La Crosse for the weekend, googled “best pizza in La Crosse”. The good: online ordering, menu looked promising. The bad: parking is hard to find, a medium pizza with tip is $25, pizza was mushy, wet and floppy. It was so undercooked it was inedible. I was nervous when the pickup time said 12 minutes from when we ordered it. I wanted to love it so much. They need to cook the pizzas longer. Maybe Ask them for well done with the spinach feta pie :)

Decided to try this place out and got 3 pizza slices. 2 cheese and 1 macaroni & cheese. Wasn’t the biggest fan of how they had the pizzas out in open with no covering or warm lighting. She got the slices then heated them back up briefly in the oven. The cheese slices were decent, but wasn’t big fan of Mac pizza. The pizza was also really greasy which was not pleasant.. overall decent place to try but I’d order the pizzas fresh and not by slice unless they just came out oven.

Freaking excellent pizza. Garlic knots were fresh and delicious as well. Friendly service! Quesadilla pizza was just bomb. ? ? I would have gotten a 2nd slice if I wasn’t stuffed. Fantastic price — got combo 3 for much is 2 pizza slices, garlic knots, and 2 drinks for $16. Very reasonable. Bathroom also very spacious and clean! Always a plus in my book.

The people there are very rude and stuck up, the 3 girls working on 06/13/24 around 630pm. We got a combo 3. Forgot our garlic knots then gave us attitude when asking for them. We got the knots they were cold and not cooked. Gave us attitude again about the food. Didn’t have solutions to fix it just got upset. Manager needs to be involved because the workers have no customer service at all. I expect response from the store and to see some sort of action done.

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! The staff seemed miserable, as if they all hated their jobs. Additionally, the garlic knots were doughy and undercooked, while the pizza was average at best. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone who isn't a drunk college student.

Got food poisoning from under cooked pizza and had shared the pizza with a poor homeless guy and some unfortunate woman who had asked for a slice; I'm not sure what happened for them. (Story of that below.)A sad note yet possibly entertaining, I had ordered the pizza at 11:35 ish PM on a Saturday night during the big dart tournament 5/18/2024 so the place was packed. I went outside to eat on a bench and just enjoy the night life and buzz of all the people walking around at midnight ish eating my pizza. The pizza tasted under cooked but I had missed dinner and was starving.A homeless guy asked for some change and I told him I didn't have any. He then asked me if I had some food. There I am eating my pizza with a big 20 inch box on my lap. (Plan was to take slices to work over the next couple days.) Obviously I couldn't say "Nope... I don't have any food." with food chompping away in my mouth and on my lap. So I give him a slice and he wandered around and then asked to sit next to me. I say sure. He starts eating the slice. I eat another disappointing slice and then another. The homeless guy asks for another and I give it to him since the pizza was very disappointing and not feeling right in my stomach and I'm not sure I want to eat it tomorrow because I am kinda just disgusted with it. I head to my car.On the way to my car a woman says something like "Oh he's got the pizza!" and asks for a slice. I tell her it's pepperoni and pineapple and she says she'd love a slice. I give her a slice and head for home.I get home around 1:30 am. I pass out. I wake up roughly 2 hours later at 3:30 am with intense abdominal pain and cramps. I try and fall back to sleep and then another blast of pain hits me so strong I roll out of bed instantly and am on my feet wondering what is going on. My brain is starting to wake up and I realize I gotta get to a toilet before it's too late. I race to the bathroom and realize I have food poisoning and begin to poop my guts out.Glory be to all that is mighty. Talk about a colon cleanse! I think I lost 5, maybe 7 pounds. IDK. Maybe that's way too much weight but I'm pretty sure there was nothing left in my guts.While I wait a bit longer on the toilet to make sure there's no plague left to spew forth from me, I remembered the poor homeless guy and the woman who had wanted slices/slice of my pizza.Did they suffer the same fate that I had? I kinda want to go down town tomorrow and see if I run into them and see if they suffered the same fate.I called the next day and the manager said he was going to give me a refund. Happened to go back 6 days later (5/24/2024) and asked if he had approved the refund request I sent. Said he denied it because I had lied and then he yelled at me and told me to never come back. Said I had been stealing pizza for years! LOL! Like what? How many other people are calling in and asking for refunds because of food poisoning? I've been going to this place for 13 years and got yelled at, called a lair, was told to never come back, and was told I had been stealing pizza for years! I've never got a refund from them and this would have been my first. Anyway, done going here.Hope you enjoyed my unfortunate experience.If I go down town tomorrow and I run into the two people I shared the pizza with I'll give and update and if they suffered the same fate as me I'll have them go let the Polito people know because maybe they'll believe them?
