“Wow! This is the east coast food I grew up eating! Delicious #nailedit“

“Great service, great food!“

“Excellent service! Delicious food! Four of us celebrated my birthday here last night and enjoyed every single detail. The calamari and arancini appetizers were flavorful and breaded perfectly. One person had a Caesar salad, he said it was perfect. For our courses, my husband devoured his Cappellaci All Aragosta, but not before sharing a bite with each of us, and it was soooooo good. I had the Spaghetti Al Funghetto and absolutely loved it. Mom and dad also enjoyed their pasta dishes very much. Our desserts were crème brûlée, cannoli, and tiramisu. All made in house and all delicious. Then the service. The staff took very good care of us. Our waiter happened to be one of the owners, Sergio. We were lucky to hear about his history of working in the restaurant industry in Madison for years at restaurants we had known, now running his own! He was so passionate and interactive about the menu, it was so fun! By the end of our meal, my husband and I already had our next date set for another dinner at Fratelli’s. And in Madison, with so many options to try, we don’t revisit many places often, but Fratelli’s is going to the top of our list.“

“Love the birthday gift certificate program. It gave me the opportunity to try a new pizza, the BBQ pizza is wonderful, and also a new store. The online order was correctly done and ready to be picked up at the time I requested. I will definitely be ordering online again!“

“Classic must try pizzeria. Absolutely delicious, they come up with great pie ideas and they are ALL hits. Their service is impeccable and their excellent cocktails give the experience the cherry on top . To add to that the prices are super reasonable. Great atmosphere, can't recommend this enough. It's become a go to return spot over the years, wether I go for a nice dinner with my partner, or getting "fancy" pizza and drinks with friends, this is the place to go.“

“We love bringing out of town friends to Sal's. We had the Valentine's menu and it was the best food we've had in years! Tameka was amazing and the food came out so quick. Clean plates all day!“

“Good stuff. Worth stopping in for sure!“

“The pizza is amazing! The staff if super friendly and the atmosphere is cozy but hip!!“

“This is, without a doubt, one of my favorite places to eat. Almost is everything is handmade from scratch and super fresh. The pizza is amazing. The deep fried food is so good, I have to get something fried everytime I go. The sandwiches and lasagna are crazy good. They have a great selection of beverages, both alcohol and non. I highly recommend a visit to this place. If you like pizza or Italian style food, you won't be disappointed.

Vegetarian options: Veggie pizza and veggie sub and a few other things from what I remember. The vegetarian selection isn't huge, but there are definitely some options.

Kid-friendliness: Nice family diner atmosphere. Has a small candy machine and big gumball machine. Also has a driving simulator video game for kids to play as well.

Wheelchair accessibility: No curbs in the lot leading to the door, so wheel chair accessibility is not a problem. Handicap space in the lot, is directly next to the rear entrance as well. No automatic door though.“

“BEST PIZZA I have ever had! They have great burgers soup, salads, appetizers and pastas too. Definitely coming back.“

“Great service and great food! I highly recommend this restaurant for the great dining experience!“

“Great pizza. Perfectly charred underneath. Some of The most flavorful pizza sauce I’ve had in Madison. All around delicious“

“The absolute best pizza in the area. Won't go anywhere else for pizzas and meatball subs!“

“Our new favorite spot in Madison for a good kick of spice from the octopus and Calabrian chiles on the arugula ricotta pizza. The pizza is light and thin. We also enjoyed the beef carpaccio. But for me, the highlight was the ginger cake. Freshly baked (warm on the inside) with whipped cream and pistachios. Flavors are spot on, not too sweet, not too spicy, just right. We also had the risotto which was delicious and comforting - also perfectly cooked al dente.“

“Hanging out with friends. We shared many things on the menu. Loved all of it!“

“We ordered Italian beef, wings, as usual it eas great. They did it exactly what we asked for. Hot. Perfect“

“The food and environment is fantastic!“

“I recommend Anna Pizza if your in the area. I myself have problems with my stomach and have to be on a KETO DIET and I order a very thin crust. I may not eat the crust but there topping and cheese are so delicious and good and they don't bother my tummy either. I think it's because they must use real or high quality products. I love there Pizza. I myself give them 5 stars.“

“Always amazing here. Food , atmosphere, staff, and great cocktails to boot.“

“Amazing staff,food & drinks! Always delicious a prices are reasonable 🍕❣️“

“Had our first Bucks pizza tonight. It was amazing! Can’t wait to enjoy again soon.“

“One of my favorite pizza restaurants around. Try the Macho Nacho!“

“I’m so thankful I discovered Zoe’s! It’s like having Ian’s pizza but with way better crust. 🤣❤️ I get my nails done in Waunakee and my nail girl told me about this place. Bet I come here every time I get my nails done! Today I had their special - chorizo - and when I say it was BOMB I mean it!!! This pizza is so dang good, and every flavor I try has been consistently delicious. 🍕 😍 lunch prices are amazing too! I highly recommend giving this place a try even just for a slice.“

“One of my favorite pizza restaurants around. Try the Macho Nacho!“

“We travel all over the U.S.. Last night we decided to hit a place close to where my husband was working. Most people love the pizza but we weren’t in the mood The Mac and Cheese was alright. Needed more salt and it was a bit dry for Mac n cheese. The lasagna however was AMAZING!! Lots of meat and the flavor profile was incredible. Lots of spice. I love lasagna with texture and this hit the mark for both of us. It was also a large portion so I had plenty for the next day. Go try the lasagna!!

Edited!! Husband went with a coworker for lunch the next day. The pizza is just as good as the lasagna. I did not try it fresh but the Mediterranean Pizza HITS even reheated. Man this place just keeps getting better!! Go try them!!“

“the chicken dinners in the tiramisu“

“We had Ian's Pizza Cater our wedding. This is the location we got to have one of our favorite planning memories. Food Tasting, what really made it an incredible experience is Staci, the Account Manager, who took the time to get to know us, explain all the different recipes, how they work with allergies, and even took notes on everything we were saying during the tasting. She stayed flexible and understanding while working with us to have our favorite food on our big day! The Garver Feed Mill is also a beautiful building that helps any visit there feel special.“

“My wife and I have ordered from this Papa Murphy's many times over the years, and have always been pleased with the service, amount and consistency of toppings, and of course, the delicious pizza. In my opinion, the experience here surpasses other Papa Murphy's locations I have patronized over the years.“

“Greatest Pizza in the world.“

“I have always liked pizza from Rocky's. Even more so that you can get a slice quickly, eat it and get back to what you were doing. The breadsticks also are very good so as far as a quick pizza place this does a good job.

The staff member that we encountered was not super friendly and did seem as if she would have rather have no one show up.

Overall the food was good and we needed something quick. This was both of those things.“

“You all need to start filling the tator tots full the last couple of orders have been 3/4 th full mot acceptable. Did you all change the bread or something and stop cutting the meatballs in half for the bomber subs“

“This would probably be the best Rocky Rococo's location in Madison. I like that they have an arcade there, and it makes me feel like I'm in a Pizza Hut in the 1980's because of that. The spaghetti at this location was delightfully delicious. If anyone is in Madison and wants to grab a bite at Rocky's I would most recommend this location.“

“Great food, amazing service!!! Jessica was our Server and she did amazing.“

“This pizza was fantastic! We had stopped buying Pizza Hut pizzas years ago because the taste went down-hill and cost went up. We only went to Pizza Hut this time because everyone else was closed on Easter, and we're glad we did! Now the pizza tastes GREAT, and the price was surprisingly low!“

“I was having problems with my online order and when i called Thomas answered the phone and was so helpful! Some of the best customer service i’ve had in a very long time! He even called me back after we were disconnected! went above and beyond to help! Give Thomas a raise!! lol“

“Stopped in for a slice. Great customer service great price for good ol zaaa“

“This is a wonderful Rocky Rococo’s!! There is a nice salad bar here. Their pizza and breadsticks were amazing! There is an arcade here as well. This Rocky’s is a GREAT ONE! It has a perfect nostalgic look and feels like exactly what I think a Rocky’s should look and feel like. It is great! We highly recommend this Rocky’s!“

“They donated pizzas to a Make-a-Wish party, and I can't thank them enough!!“

“By far the best pizza in town! Low in calories, thin new york style crust and very yummy. The staff is amazing- they are all related - its a family owned business and they are extremely friendly! I highly recommend the place- its for sure a must try!“

“I came with 5 other people and we ordered 4 appetizers, 9 entrees + a pizza to share amongst us and their was not a complaint about any of your dishes. We love your food, the atmosphere is wonderful, so I have nothing to say about improving your business, it’s perfect!! Well done!!“

“For what it is, MOD works. It will never be five star dining. Pizza quality varies depending on who is making it. It is usually pretty fast, and tastes all right. There is better pizza in town, if you want great pizza. If you just want a decent lunch, this is where you go.“

“First time me and the lady have ever had deep dish. Both of us have been wanting to try it for a long time. Placed order over the phone. They were pretty busy when I arrived. Minimal staff pumping out orders. Staff was super kind. They were apologetic for the wait but it was really no problem with how busy they were. 11/10 the pizza was absolutely phenomenal. Some of the best we’ve had. Would recommend to everyone. Will be ordering again soon.“

“We came in on a Monday night in the summer. We have been coming here a lot recently. We love the food! Pizza is great, salads and meatballs too! Our table tonight was two young kids and two adults. Most people wouldn't want our table. Servers don't like kids. I assume that means low bill and low tip. However, my husband and I have worked in the restaurant business for a long time! We know how to tip and never order off the kids menu. We were told our server Lydia would be with us shortly. However she never came by. I had to ask for service after we came in to eat and we're very hungry. It was my daughter's birthday and they just got done with Ju Jitsu practice. My daughter told me she was starving. I know! She never came to the table. We were ignored for a while and told to order at the counter. There were open tables and not too many people in the restaurant. Thank you to the shift manager who finally helped us. We also asked Lydia to help with our check at the end and she told us she couldn't help us. She was so rude! Thanks Lydia. If you go on a weekday you might not even get service unless you ask. We'll be back to eat the food and hope we don't ever get Lydia. She was only serving two tables and both were finished before we got our food. She was not that busy but decided she didn't want to serve us.“

“When we got there, one family was having their pizza made. We placed our order, a family sized Pappa's All Meat. The one employee was very efficient and had our pizza ready quickly. I appreciated the generous quantity of meat on the pizza. It could have used more cheese, though. Prices are reasonable.“

“Large menu, awesome pizza, pretty good wings, and usually pretty quick at delivery.“

“What a great little hidden gem! Great drinks, gourmet food, amazing staff and we even got to meet the owner, Steve! Very friendly atmosphere. We will definitely be back!!“

“The gluten free crust was delicious and I watched the folks working change their gloves when they were handling my pizza to prevent cross contamination. It’s a bit of an awkward wait (longer than you’d expect), and I wouldn’t recommend eating at the tables inside unless the weather is poor. Go outside and enjoy the view!

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free crust is available.“

“Place was spotless but the floor still looks dirty only because it is very, very old and the grout looks dark. Also several of the lights were burned out which does not look good. The place needs a refresh of the appearance. Even though it looks dirty, it was spotlessly clean - a good job by the staff.“

“Always loved Papa Murphy's Take and bake! They get my order right every time, and our prompt for my pickup time. My favorite is the hawaiian, plus mushrooms.... YUM!
I can get two 16-in pizzas for about $30, that's a deal!“
