Haven't been to this Danny Mac's in a few years (well, haven't been since they moved out of TIM TAM before that place closed) but, have seen it many times with my friend going to Butchertown Brewing. I was finally able to talk my friend into coming here. We ordered at the counter and was able to seat ourselves. We were given a number to set on our table. Our food came out in a reasonable amount of time. My friend ordered the Meatball Sub. I got a personal thin crust pepperoni pizza and of course the Cracksticks. You have to order the cracksticks when coming to Danny Mac's. Food was very delicious and the atmosphere was amazing. We will be back at some point. This is definitely and underrated pizza joint in Louisville. Great stop if you're at Butchertown, Antique Shop and the other places. read more

Sometimes solid is exactly what you need. Danny Mac's Supreme Pizza isn't trying to reinvent pizza, and it doesn't need to. Every time I've had it, it's been solid. Good crust, plenty of cheese, loaded with toppings, and everything works together. Is it life changing? No. Is there anything wrong with it? Also no. You know exactly what you're getting, and sometimes consistency deserves its flowers too. Palate don't lie. ‍ read more

Danny Mac's Pizza - Supreme pizza - Pizza Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

Danny Mac's has great food and service. The quality of the pizza is consistently excellent and sets it apart from other pizza places. I have dined in and carried out pizza and pasta and we have never been disappointed. The bread sticks are soft and slightly chewy, a real standout. I love the pizza crust. I tried pasta for the first time recently and while I prefer the pizza, the baked spaghetti I ordered was also quite delicious. The interior of the restaurant is a fairly small space without frills but comfortable. The courtyard at the Mellwood arts center where it is located is a great place to eat outdoors in good weather. Danny Mac's has single act and small ensemble live music occasionally which is a nice touch. Ample parking in the arts center parking lot. read more

Danny Mac's Pizza - Baked Spaghetti & Meatballs - Pizza Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

I wanted something delicious and easy for my birthday dinner with my family this year. So I thought of my favorite pizza in Louisville, Danny Mac's! And for the first time, we sat in the courtyard just outside its main doors at Mellwood Art Center. On a warm fall night, this was delightful. The kids had enough room to run around a bit, having fun looking at the big art pieces that surround the space, while we could sit, drink beer and eat pizza. The Cracksticks continue to be my absolute favorite. Even if it's just my small family eating dinner from Danny Mac's, these are a carb-filled, dripping-in-garlic must. And we got a basic pepperoni pizza, though the Hawaiian, Chicken Bacon Ranch and Meats pizzas are also delightful. From the crust to the toppings, everything is consistently perfect. Danny Mac's also has decent beer on tap, or you can get a bottle of Ale-8. A true Louisville food staple. So thankful for it. read more

As a pizza lover, I have been wanting to try Danny Mac's for a while. I have heard so many good things. Luckily, it lived up to the hype. The space is sort of old school and you order at the counter. The service was fast and the staff was friendly. The tea was freshly brewed and the food was delicious. I know why the breadsticks are called crack sticks! I can't wait to go back and try a calzone. Highly recommend. read more

Had to get my godson his spaghetti and meatballs- it comes with two garlic breadsticks and he got his drink. He's tiny and eats like a bird but he loved this! I've been previously and on that the pizzas are fire so if you're interested in going do so- it's in the mellwood arts building- so cool and you'll have to get around there and see for yourself. Service was fast and friendly his order was ready as we arrived! read more

Stopped in here with several friends while visiting the Mellwood Art Center for VegFest in June and ordered a buffalo chicken calzone. Tasty and toasty and took over 1/2 of it home because it was enormous. The restaurant has several large screen TVs able to be seen in two separate dining room areas. Great place to view a sporting event. Tables are ample and plenty of seating. Air conditioning felt great today during the heat wave. I tried a bottled orange soda made with pure cane sugar and it was a refreshing and delicious rare treat. Service is fast with counter ordering and payment, then take a number to place on the table, and food is brought out fairly fast. Staff were all very nice and polite. read more

Some of the best pizza I've ever had!!! Great ingredients means great pizza!! Crust was great too!!!

Here's the thing about Danny Mac's -- it's good, and its price point is pretty low, low enough that Danny Mac can compete with the cheapo chains. No one would call it artisinal, but the ingredients aren't crappy either, and the bake is good. It's been a number of years since Danny Mac's graduated from outsider-underground status to local institution. The fact that it has remained an anchor business at Mellwood for as long as it has also speaks to the fact that it must be well-run. The bottom line is simple. Danny Mac has loaded down a lot of people with a lot of grease and cheese for quite a long time, and the product is a nice one. I'm probably past the age where I should ever think about ordering the crack sticks, even to share with others. But I love Danny Mac's in its current spot. Do yourself a favor. Treat yourself to a couple slices, and grab an excellent beer across the path at Butchertown Brewing. Sit outside on the patio where, blissfully, there is no car traffic. And pat yourself on the back that it didn't cost you much even if you tip well. read more

We decided to try this place today. For the kids, we ordered a cheese pizza. As an appetizer, we had breadsticks and a meatball sub. When you walk in, you place your order at the counter and take a number; they'll bring your order to your table. It seems they always pack everything to go, even though there's plenty of room to eat there. The breadsticks were delicious, with plenty of butter, garlic, and cheese. My toddler couldn't stop eating them--they really are addictive! The cheese pizza was well-cooked, but I wasn't a fan of the sauce; it's hard to explain, but it just didn't work for me. The meatball sub, priced at $11, featured small meatballs. I think it would have been much better if they cooked some larger meatballs, sliced them, and added mozzarella for an amazing sandwich. However, the bread they used for the sub was very good. The staff was very helpful, especially an elderly woman whose name I forgot. She brought us refills and made sure we were doing well. I would definitely come back for the pizza and would like to try the calzone next time. read more

I would fist fight a bear for their pizza. Yes really. I got one of their specials, something with bbq and burnt ends, and now I'm a fan. They put their whole heart into this pizza. It was tasty, greasy, and hefty. Overall I felt like a pos after eating it because there's no way something so amazing could be a smidge good for you. It isn't, but I don't mind. This is a hefty fully loaded type of pizza, and I day dream about it. The only reason I haven't been back is because I havnt eaten pizza in the past month or so. I will be back, I vow it. Enough of the dramatics, go try their pizza. It's good but pricey. Worth it. read more

Danny Mac's was recommend to us by my tattoo artist for a quick bite in between stenciling and starting the tattoo. It was conveniently just downstairs from his studio in the courtyard and had recently been voted best pizza in town. The man ringing us up had a great accent and sense of humor and our food came out fairly quick since they weren't too busy. We enjoyed our lunch on the patio and even had leftovers to snack on the rest of the appointment. I ordered a build your own pizza with sausage and my friend had a sandwich and salad. We also tried their garlic bread, which came in a huge portion! Bonus points for having one of my fave ginger beers to wash it down with. I didn't try other pizza this trip to know if it's the *best* in town, but it certainly didn't disappoint. Great spot to break for snacks while exploring the many shops at Mellwood. read more

This was absolutely the best pizza we have ever had. We were in the area for the Kentucky Derby with a large group and ended up going back to Danny Mac's two days in a row for their burnt end pizza! Wow! 5 stars! read more

This gem at the Mellwood is now a family favorite. We ate here after viewing my cousins wedding venue. The staff treated us warmly and put up with our overwhelming bunch (my twin toddler cousins running around, their big brother chasing them, and all of the adults in our group talking many decibels too loud). Everyone loved the food (the cheese bread is huge and mouthwatering) and the pricing was very fair. I wish we had a location closer to home so I can get it more often, but will not hesitate to swing by if I'm ever in the area. read more

The Nashville Hot Chicken Pizza is the best pizza I've had in a while. The description is accurate as far as having some spice but not being too hot. The pickles were a unique touch but the amount of cheese and crust were perfect for both taste and texture. I'm sorry I waited this long to try this pizza after I saw it on the menu. read more

Pizza is classic! Great crust! Stays hot! Service is good. Love the area where it is located.

Pizza is very good and the Garlic sticks are addictive, I guess that's why they call them crack sticks. They have a nice selection of sodas and beer. You order at the counter and seat yourself. The service is friendly and outgoing. It is off the beaten path at the Mellwood. I would love to see them remodel the customer area to make a larger dining area, possibly with windows. Until then go with a small group or get carry out. read more

I don't give 5 stars normally.. I wait a few visits before I decide to give a good review. We've ordered several Pizza's for Work parties and today I was able to pick the order up. The Staff is TERRIFIC. Friendly, helpful, gave us perfect.. yes perfect service. This place will be on our "go to" list for regular outings with family and friends. I'm not a "fan" of many businesses but this is a small business I am a fan of. And the pizza is great.. service was just "icing on the cake". read more

I had the pleasure of Tryon Danny Max pizza while I was in the area last week. The food was really tasty. I must say I enjoyed the pizza and it was really good. The service was also top notch.

It had sports posters, and TVs and things for me to watch while I enjoy my pizza read more

Extremely late with my review, but we came here for Louisville pizza week! While I extremely fumbled the whole week using the app, I am so happy it brought us to this place. My husband and I came here in the middle of a weekday, and it was nice to see some kids from a nearby school stopping by here after a field trip. It seemed like a really cool local place to catch a bite and hang out. Out of all the places we stopped at for pizza week, this one I thought stood out. It was certainly a strong way to start it out, and my husband and I really enjoyed the pizza! Overall, we had a great experience. The food was great, the ambiance was cool, and the service was prompt and friendly. I would definitely recommend this place, and we'd love to come back! read more

Crack sticks!!!! Do not miss these delish, garlic buttery, Parmesan cheesey goodness. This is an awesome spot on a nice evening to grab a spot outside and order up an amazing pizza and some sticks! They also have nightly drink specials and I've never gotten a drink I didn't like! Don't miss the tequila sunrise if that happens to be an option. You certainly won't regret it! read more

This holiday season taking place during the covid pandemic my family and I have made a tradition of every Saturday driving around different parts of town looking at Christmas lights and trying a new pizza place. Restrictions were lifted a bit so we was able to dine in at Danny Macs. The location is in the Mellwood center in almost a outlet mall like location. We parked and called and asked if they had indoor dining or just takeout. The owner stated you can place the order and we have tables you can sit at and dine after receiving food. It was a Friday night so after I ended the call the owner was nice enough to call back and let us know that it could be a 40-50 min wait. I advised we was already in parking lot and and he said he would "make it work for us". We walk in and placed our order. We got a cheese pizza, pepperoni pizza, a pepperoni and ham calzone, crack sticks and a chef salad. There was a big table available inside and we were able to comfortably sit in a warm, spacious, and quiet area. The food arrived in about 15 min or so. We received great customer service here. Everyone from the owner to the register workers we're extremely nice, accommodating and good at what they do. The pizza's themselves are 12 inch pizzas. So probably about the size of a normal medium at most pizza establishments. I sampled both the cheese and pepperoni. Very tasty. Very nice tasting sauce and crust. The pepperoni had a nice kick to it without being too spicy. So A good blend. The break sticks aka crack sticks lived up to its name. Very very good breadsticks. maybe the best I've had in the whole city. The ham and pepperoni calzone was solid. I'm not a big pepperoni guy and I was splitting with my daughter so she chose pepperoni and I chose ham. All ingredients in it had good flavor and the sauce was tasty. A lot of places have giant calzones so this one seemed on the small side. But it did the trick for what we wanted to have. Pricing wasn't bad. My family of 6 got two pizzas, an app, a side entree and a large salad and Dined for around $70. So can't complain when you have a lot of food and it's only around $10 a person. We really enjoyed our visit here and will be back. It was during a pandemic and cold outside. There was a bunch of cool outdoor seating and I imagine during warmer or spring time weather this place is really cool to dine on the patio. So my kids are looking forward to that. Cool and tasty place. I would highly recommend it. read more

Had a great visit at Danny Mac's off Melwood! The pizza was great! Nothing was left over! We also ordered the "Crack Sticks", they were fantastic! They were covered in melted butter! The place was a bit hard to locate at first, but that's part of the fun! Danny Macs is attached to a much larger building with many tiny businesses inside. I couldnt believe this hidden gem. The pizza was old school, just the way I like it. Cheesy, saucy, perfectly cooked dough with a great texture. The cheese sticks or crack sticks were more of the same, cheesy, sloppy, messy and just plain good! You order, they bring it out! read more

Danny Mac's Pizza - 12" Cheesesteak Pizza: 8.1/10 - Solid pie w/ a nice crust. Sauceless, so you may want a side of marinara. - Pizza Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

We decided to take our chances on Danny Mac's today, after learning we were only a mile away and our bellies were growling for lunch. Mellwood Arts Center has outdoor seating and we were able to snag a table in the breezeway protected from the sun. Danny Mac's has a QR code to scan and browse the menu. We opted for 2 pizzas, pepperoni and extra cheese. They're 12" pizzas and feed 2-3 adults. We also asked for sodas and water, and we were in awe of the high cups. (little things) I'd classify the pizza crust as hand tossed and the ends without cheese and sauce were my favorite. Decent sauce, not overly filled with toppings and filling. We also appreciated the service. For both our massive drinks and pizza, the server at Danny Mac's brought them outside to us. Re: safety for Covid, menus to scan from your phone, takeout/curbside offered, patio seating only, disposable cups/utensils/boxed pizza. Hand sanitizer was on their counter. We also brought our own for the patio and the only thing I wished I had was something to wipe off the table. I don't believe anyone was regularly sanitizing those. The breezeway was amazing, flies were crazy. Pro tip: offer them a bit of crust and they'll flock away! Some cool murals around for pictures. Bathrooms were open in Mellwood Arts Center. read more

Beautiful place to be in the evening! They've got strung up lights outside. Lots of seating inside as well. It feels like a hole in the wall bar for the locals. When my friends and I came for lunch, most people were sitting outside. Seems like people who work nearby come during their break. Staff was nice! We went in to grab menus and the guy told us he'd be right out to serve us. I got sweet tea and a 6" personal pizza. I put bacon and tomatoes on it. Cheap price and size! The crust was thin and crispy and the tomato tasted very fresh! The sweet tea tasted homemade but wasn't as sweet as I would prefer. My friend got a coke and baked spaghetti which she enjoyed. It was a lot of food! My other friend got an Ale 8 with a slice of sausage. She also added a side salad. She was stuffed! They've got women's and men's bathrooms. The space is large as well. Lots of tables inside. They've got TVs inside, so it would be fun to come and watch a game here. I'd return and try other stuff off the menu. read more

I decided to visit for lunch with the hubbs during Louisville Pizza Week. Let me just say even though we were the only ones in the joint the long wait was well worth it! They where slammed with mostly to go orders. I think that's who they cater to the most. The don't even have real plates or cups which is all right by me if you do right by the pizza. The pie came out piping hot but I couldn't wait to dig in. They offered the Nashville hot as their special for the week. I sure hope they carry it on the daily. It was the best pizza I've had in a long time. Cheesy goodness with just the right amount of spice and lots of chicken pieces. Do yourself a favor and get their garlic butter. It was to die for. read more

First time at Danny Mac's Pizza and it did not disappoint. We were able to order online for curbside pickup. The whole process was extremely easy. We ordered a cheese pizza with half olives for the kids, cracksticks, BBQ chicken pizza and steak and cheese sandwich. Everyone has recommended the cracksticks and they were amazing. There were eight breadsticks swimming in a pool of garlic butter. The whole family devoured them. Even my picky eater son. We will definitely be ordering them again. The kids loved the pizza. We got hand tossed and the crust was amazing. Even though they were 12" pizzas there was plenty of food. The BBQ pizza had bacon, chicken, BBQ sauce and cheese and it was amazing. The slices are hearty and loaded with toppings. The sandwich came with chips and an au jus sauce to dip it in. The sandwich was loaded with meat and the au jus sauce was the perfect compliment. Everything was very good and we would recommend. read more

A few months ago a coworker told me I needed to put Danny Macs Pizza on my radar. Driving up to Mellwood Arts Center the signs were very helpful into guiding our way. Last week I noticed they were doing $1 slices for their anniversary. So my fiancé & I made a trip for lunch on Friday. We were seated in the front window.... this made for great people watching while we ate. I always want cheese bread in my life so we order that to start. Our garlic butter smoothed cheese bread came out hot from the oven. I liked that it came out with two sides of marinara sauce... so we didn't have to battle over sauce. The $1 lunch slice special was only pepperoni or sausage. I went with a side salad & sausage pizza. The side salad was tossed greens with a cucumber & tomato slice. The crust is interesting... kind of fluffy airy but delicious. I was happy with my pizza choice... loaded with cheese & sausage. Our waitress was great & attentive. I didn't catch her name but she said that she works every Friday. Thank you to the Friday noon staff for a great lunch. We will for sure be back for more pizza in the future! read more
