50 Best Pizza Restaurants near Waunakee

“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.“

“Joe at Pizza Hut did not serve me pizza. Joe served me a moment.

The second he walked out of that kitchen, I swear the restaurant lighting got better. The confidence? Radiant. The energy? Sparkling. The customer service? Absolutely giving.

When he handed me my pizza, it wasn’t a transaction—it was a performance. A masterclass. A cultural reset. The cheese was cheesing, the crust was crusting, and Joe was absolutely thriving.

I’ve seen celebrities with less presence. I’ve attended events with less production value. Meanwhile Joe was out here making sure every customer felt seen, appreciated, and emotionally nourished.

By the end of my visit, I wasn’t asking for extra parmesan. I was asking myself if I had witnessed greatness.

Pizza Hut needs to protect Joe at all costs. Put him in the company museum. Put him on a billboard. Put him in charge of world peace.

Five stars. No notes. Slay.“

“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!“

“Me and my family stopped by a day ago. The customer service was amazing. If I remember correctly, our server’s name was Trinity. He was very kind to my grandma . Also, the food was delicious, our server recommended I try the strawberry burrata which was amazing. I would stop by again. Five stars.“

“We love the pizza and up until yesterday 4/22/22 we encountered the first time the sausage was not the same. We think it was precooked and what was great tasting sausage before turned out to be totally different in taste. Only other explanation is a new sausage supplier. We will order only pepperoni in the future.“

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

Wished they gave us a small bday dessert for my friend ☺“

“The food and environment is fantastic!“

“My husband and I booked Ian's catering for our wedding dinner, and I truly believe it was the most inspired meal decision of all. They were tremendously accommodating for an array of guests' allergies and dietary restrictions, and the catering staff were all lovely. They bring a hot top warming oven with them, so the food is fresh, and the line was handled incredibly efficiently. We are so impressed with and grateful for the service we received from our initial inquiry, to the tasting, to our reception itself. We'd hire Ian's over and over again if we had more than one wedding :-)“

“For a loyal customer patronizing Glass Nickel for decades, I shouldn't be in a position to need to write this. With all the problems, - and it seems that nearly each order has come with one or more - I still came back for the great taste of Glass Nickel pizza. However, the most recent issue made me finally decide to take my business elsewhere. My pizza had (over three inches) of no toppings toward the edge. Unacceptable. It appears that the mushrooms are not chopped into bits anymore like in past orders, and that I appreciate, but it looks like the big barren spaces, sans toppings, made up for that. I asked for a refund, but was given a half credit. In addition, I had to dish out more for the tip and delivery charge. I'm finally done with them.“

“I live in Janesville, and when I have an appetite for the most delicious pizza in the state of Wisconsin, I hit up Jets. I feel bad that there’s only one location in this entire state which means people do not have access to great pizza.“

“Hey hi ooo uh hi r go ouo I vhi hi Gus“

“Absolutely wonderful pizza! Highly recommend the Barbie! Now my Friday night go to. No cooking at my home on Fridays 😊“

“we came in on a Thursday afternoon at 4:00 so it wasn't busy. The service was good. We liked our drinks, a raspberry martini and an old fashioned. The bruschetta was some of the best we ever had, and we enjoyed the linguine and lasagna.“

“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“

“I was so amazed at the quality of the food and the service. I had the pumpkin ravioli, some Calimari and Balsamic Brussel Sprouts which were all wonderful. I highly recommend. A little pricy but for the quality, ambiance and a special occasion, it's perfect!“

“I have to tell you this: some of the best pizza that I've had, I have to say, is even better than Salvatore's tomato pies. They're good, don't get me wrong, but the crust on these pizzas is amazing. The sauce is amazing.

Another thing: if they were to move to Kansas, specifically Kansas City, Wichita, Kansas, and Topeka, they would dominate Domino's, Papa John's, Little Caesars, and Pizza Hut. They would take them all out of business.

When I go home to Kansas, it's definitely going to be a disappointment when I go back to that pizza. I'm going to always think of Rocco's.“

“Mama Mia!!! This place is awesome!! I went in for lunch on a Saturday and received a warm greeting from their General Manager,Leo. They were able to seat me quickly and I was immediately welcomed by Carley. Carley has a great personality and took great care of me! The food and atmosphere all wonderful! I will definitely be back!“

“Always excellent pizza and sandwiches. we've never been disappointed. fun staff, Aubrey is very fun and an excellent waitperson. we love her! best pizza in Madison. highly recommended!“

“My kiddo and I often stop here after visiting the kid cafe next door - the pizza is a yummy, nostalgic treat, and I always enjoy chatting with the older gentleman at the cash register, he has a wonderful sense of humor. Bonus points for playing Cream, Jimmy Hendrix, and other great vintage tunes!“

“I just wanted to say thank you to PJs for the delicious food we ordered tonight. It saved me from heating up the house on a very hot day. Also, you have the best group of kids working there! EVERY time I call or order in person they have been nothing but kind, polite and pleasant. Keep up the good work!!!“

“My sister and I came in for some pizza after a day out and we were greeted with smiles. We waited a little while for the staff to catch up with all the other orders which was no problem, they were quite busy. After we ordered we went and sat down at a booth together and the woman working told us our pies were ready! One of the pizzas got a little overdone and she offered to completely redo and it also gave us a free desert for waiting when we came in. 10/10 service and food. I love this location, the staff are always amazing. If you want to eat at a place where the staff goes above, eat at this Mod Pizza!“

“The pinnacle of Sourdough baking that I have found in the Midwest. Amazing! Great Job!“

“Be it food or service both are top notch.“

“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 had my daughter’s birthday at Chuck e Cheese and it was so much fun for my girls. Preston the manager was awesome and so were all of the staff. It was a lot of fun and we’ll definitely be back.“

“I want to recognize the outstanding service of Chrisi! Second day at her work and she has given us the best service ever from all the time we've been here to eat! Her attitude was amazing, always smiling, recommending deserts despite being busy! Food was delicious but BRAVO for her!!!!!!!!!!!!!! La Brioche is lucky to have her as part of the staff!!!!! Thank you again for making our brunch so bright!!“

“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.“

“love there pizza and you cant get unlimited toppings“

“Zero late night fights …at times that skunky smell can b a good thing…“

“the online ordering was a breeze and pick up was ready exactly when they said it would be. the za itself is fantastic, we ordered one thin crust and one hand tossed and they were both wonderful. we will definitely be back!“

“Gas station with plenty of pumps and parking. With 3 restaurants inside. Rocky Rocco, Cousins Subs, and A & W Rootbeer. Pretty quick no matter which counter of food you want. Plenty of restaurant seating. Gas station has everything you need for snacks and drinks. Right off the interstate.“

“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.“

“Went in tonight at a little after 5pm to a completely packed store. Must have been 10-15 in line ahead of me. Two workers. Sounds like a complete disaster, right?Nope. These two were on top if it. They kept everything moving, and after a little while the manager showed up and hopped right in to help out.It took about 20 minutes to get my pizzas, but I have no complaints. I was very impressed with how well the manager handled everything, and the three of them cranked through the pile of orders while still remaining friendly, courteous, and professional.We don't eat here super often, just because there are plenty of other pizza places that do the cooking for you, and when I'm hungry, I don't want extra steps. But I've never been so impressed with a crew before, and we are definitely going to make this a frequent stop.Keep up the excellent work!“

“This would not be a four star restaurant in Paris or New York, but it is a four star restaurant in a motel in Madison, Wisconsin. I had the sirloin twice during a three-day stay in the motel and found it miles ahead of one I had at a popular bar not far away. I carefully described how I wanted it cooked, and it came just that way on each of the two nights. The mashed potato side is delicious and should not be eaten by anyone!

This is not a fancy restaurant, but is quiet and pleasant. Eating outside on the patio is also enjoyable. Since we live close by, we will be coming back regularly for the excellent food at surprisingly good prices.

Edit: We did go back again last night and I and my son both had the steak. Strangely, it was a lot thinner than before. Maybe 5/8 of an inch instead of 1 inch! It was still cooked correctly, but was no longer exceptional. My wife again had the spring rolls and she indicated they were not cooked as well as before. Also, I should add since people are reviewing it, that the breakfast for motel guests is no big deal. It is a run-of-the-mill motel hot-table breakfast comprising scrambled eggs, probably from powdered, and those little sausages instead of the bacon that the best places have, etc. So only four stars, but still a nice, modest place we will return to.“

“I have been too many, many different restaurants trying different things and this restaurant is like a One-Stop shop for everything you would want. It doesn't matter what type that you're looking for. These guys have it and they're very good. They're very respectful. They're enjoyable to be around. They're very, very affordable and I would recommend this 100% of the time every time. You don't need to go anywhere else. They have pretty much anything you would want. I would recommend them every time“

“Despite coming in with a group of 7 people at 12:30 am, the workers on duty were incredibly receptive and patient. The food was hot and fresh overall and the boxes seem to be higher quality than places like dominos or Pizza Hut. Great experience overall, I hadn’t heard of them that much but we will definitely be back!“

“Pizza is good as all food goes, and the service is really good. I ordered a pizza and it showed up in around 15 minutes. Always a great option for a party. The desserts are to die for, and they always are concistant with their orders bringing the food in good shape. The staff is kind, and they apologize if they run late. I usually pick this option for convenience and comfort. Nobody outpizzas the hut, and they are true.“
