    View of some decor and one of the big screens

    If you haven't been here...go. The experience itself is worth it. All the memorabilia from floor to ceiling, the 2 big screens playing the "monster" movies, the gift shop and soda fountain. It's worth it! The food is great. Pizza, breadsticks, garlic knots, sandwiches...we've never had anything we didn't like. Service is alwayare great!

    First time visiting here in a small town. The inside and decor was absolutley adorable. I love the theme and that they show movies on the projector. They were unfortunately out of some of the things that we wanted. And I would have really liked to see them have some fun craft cocktails which is the only reason I rate 4 stars instead of 5. We got the count Dracula deep dish pizza and made some other pizzas. Super cheesy pizza! The service was fine. The place was absolutely packed for a Tuesday and had a line out the door by the time we left.

    Totally enjoyed the ambiance here. All the decor was horror movie fodder. And they have two big screens that they play movies on all day. Grinders and salad are good. We ordered their Amity Island special pizza (because it's shark week there). We asked for light cheese on the pizza but it was still heavy cheese. I talked to them about it and said that was indeed light cheese on our pizza. Apparently they go really heavy on their cheese. Buyer beware! Food was good though and we would go back even to watch the cheesy (see what I did there?) movies.

    Couldn't wait to try this place as it's been quite some time since I've seen their concept, and I live out of state. We were greeted by the wonderful host, the beginning of all the memorabilia, and a awesome looking marquee!! When you enter through the marquee doorway, you're greeted by 2 huge screens (one at each end) playing a selected monster movie! So cool!! Pizza was simply amazing! A deep-dish style Wolfman is what we chose. So freaking delicious. What a great concept, wonderful folks, and even better pizza!! This is a total win I'm my book, and I plan on coming back soon!! Get your little monsters here now!!

    Where do I start with this place? What a huge letdown. Six of us went there on a Friday night. The guy up front, who never smiled once, told us it would be a 45-minute wait, but we ended up waiting 1 hour and 25 minutes. There were only two small seating benches in the waiting area. They should definitely take out the souvenir area and make more seating for people waiting. Most people came in and walked out. The other people were stranded next to each other like packed sardines. There was not a lot of seating in the main area, either. It was not really horror-themed as I thought. Mostly, it was a bunch of old vampire horror picture frames on the wall. Nothing was really extravagant. We ordered garlic sticks, bread, and knots, which were pretty tasty. We ordered the taco pizza, which was a bad choice, unfortunately. The pizza was dry, with not enough beans at the bottom. The crust would choke you. I ordered the "I was a teenager cheeseburger pizza", which was another bad choice. I asked for no onions since I am allergic to them, but the pizza came out with extra onions. The pizza looked sloppy with pickles just laid on top instead of being cooked into the pizza. She apologized. I said, "No worries, you can just box it up for my kids and make a new one." She said they couldn't, that they had to throw the pizza away. By the time the remade pizza came out, I was no longer hungry. The nachos were disgusting. I would rather have had tortilla chips. These were made with Doritos. The Doritos were burnt with very dry meat, cheese, and jalapenos on them. There were no tomatoes or sour cream. Overall, everything was dry, burnt, and overcooked.I was hoping that at least the desserts would be extravagant. They were just mediocre. Our waitress never asked to refill my water or offered to do so. She also left the dirty dishes from our appetizers on our table until the end. The bathrooms only have one toilet, so there was a line of people getting frustrated. None of the staff was very friendly at all. Definitely not worth the wait or the money.

    The famous monster pizza is a good place just to eat really cheesy pizza. While you're eating pizza they have a really old black and white horror movies playing so you can watch it. They have pictures and horror movie pictures everywhere. So if you like horror movies and really cheesy pizza. GO TO MONSTER PIZZA!

    The restaurant's decorations are great! The pizza and garlic knots were great. The service was okay; no issues and no wow moments.

    The Famous Monster pizza has relocated to 136 N 2nd Street in Decatur. Currently only dining is available. You'll be able to have carry out after June 1 of 2021. The decor is so amazing and quirky. I love the big screen with old monster movies playing. The specialty pizza menu is so unique with names like "Wolf Man" and "Count Dracula" pizzas. . You can have different kinds of sodas and root beer floats! It's so exciting that deep dish is offered too, and it takes only approximately 10 minutes longer than a normal pizza. I tried the taco pizza. I'm in love with a soft yet crunchy crust and I can't believe they crushed up Doritos as one of the toppings on the taco pizza! Such a surprise zing. Parking is ample and the downtown of Decatur is charming. This is definitely worth an hour or two trip for an unique date night or a special date with your kids.

    Frankie was so excited to check out this joint.

    Frankie and I were finally able to visit 'our people'. I've been wanting to make drive for over a year to Decatur and check out this place and I was not disappointed. Very unique place and great pizza. Service was great as well. I will be back!

    I'd give 0 stars if applicable, it should be illegal to call this a chicken parm grinder, basically no chicken which was grilled, or out of a can, not much cheese, I'll never be back to this establishment! Totally crap

    We came here after work based on recommendations from colleagues…read more Bad Dad has great parking and a very big space. We enjoyed our pizzas (Neopolitan & Detroit) as well as burgers. I was the DD so sadly I had no beer, but my friends enjoyed it. Will return if ever in the neighborhood again.

    Brewery #281 This…read moreplace understands me, it get's me, I'm partially convinced they tapped my brain or my metaverse and said "Let's make a place that caters to this guy, Da Gabe aka Mike Honcho" Bad Dad has taken dad jokes and made a brewery. Beers named 'Socks and Sandals, Pull My Finger, I'll Turn this Car Around' and many more. Their tin tacker is of a slightly obese dad in an undersized sleeveless shirt, headband and white New Balance sneakers riding a beer can. Perfection. Genius! While their humor got me in the door, their pizza and beer will get me to come back. I got my standard flight with I'll Turn This Car Around (Hazy IPA), Kiss the Cook (DIPA), Snooze Button (Imperial Stout) and a Tapestry of Obscenity (IPA). All were really great but The Snooze Button was my favorite of the bunch. We also got a couple of pizzas. A Detroit style called Motown with thick pepperoni, hot honey, and basil which was very tasty and a Margherita pizza that was solid. My only issue was they were out of stickers for my man cave wall but that's just all the reason to go back next time I visit my parents in Indiana.
