    Garlic Bread
    Emily D.

    We had a lovely experience at Greenbush! The restaurant is super cute - dark with twinkle lights really sets a fun vibe. We started with a couple crostini and garlic bread. The garlic bread was so so good with so much garlic! We did a build your own pizza and the crust was perfectly thin and crunchy. Our server, Phoebe, was excellent. She was very attentive and friendly. Overall, wonderful spot for a weeknight or weekend date night. Highly recommend and we will be back!!!

    Thin crust pizza with the corn meal underneath... you can't beat this! Small, quaint bar where if you're here for a Badger game- get here early... the tables fill up with fans...but the bar has awesome cocktails, great apps and home made desserts. Friendly staff- all around 5 stars!

    Come early or late. It gets busy. Excellent service and food. We came a bit after 6 and was very busy, was able to get table for 4.

    Another amazing meal at Greenbush. My boys noticed how attentive the staff was on a very busy football night. Staff is above and beyond. Big arguments about which pizza was best. New Haven is sick but the roasted red pepper and onion w Franoni's sausage was ridiculous.

    Been going here at least once a month for years. Amazing pizza, great whiskey selection, and awesome staff. IMO, there are a lot of great places in town but none have ever had amazing pizza, until I found this place. If you like thin crust with no flop this is it.

    I took out a pizza for dinner on Friday evening. The place was full. Pizza took 30 minutes. I went for a New Haven clam pizza. It was a good pizza. Clams could be a littlie bit more fresh.

    We were looking for a place after a night game that had places to sit, food and wasn't filled with college kids . We wish we were still in college but sadly we aren't and can't hang like that anymore. We searched pizza places on our walk away from the stadium and this came up and WoW - we hit the jackpot! Walked down the stairs and door opened to the exact atmosphere I was looking for . Great people , chill atmosphere and serving food and drink late ! We gave our name for a table but sat at the bar while we waited. It was only about a 20 minute wait and it was about 11:00 pm. The pizza was excellent and just what we needed . We also splurged and got some cheesecake too- yum yum! I was in heaven with pizza , spotted cow and cheesecake! Need to get back here ASAP!

    Excellent pizza and a great vibe! I love all the holiday lights. It's a really cozy place. I highly recommend coming around the holidays. We arrived at 5pm on a Saturday night and were told it would be about a 45 minute wait so we went up to the bar to have a drink while we waited. We were quickly served at the bar and our table was ready in about 20 minutes. We had an attentive and helpful waitress. Someone in our party is not a huge fan of marinara sauce so the waitress had a great recommendation for a white sauce pizza. We did all build your own style pizza which I really like. The pizza is thin, crispy and cut into squares, my fav style. So good! We kicked off our meal with the garlic bread. I could go without next time, there were only a few slices of bread, I didn't think it was worth the cost. Note there is no parking lot, but we found street parking down one of the side streets. When you enter the building you have to walk down some stairs (no elevator).

    Garlic Bread, Espresso Martini

    Best espresso martini I've ever had! Loved the flakey salt on top. For food we ordered the garlic bread, the Alberici, and the Stromboli (pizza style). The Alberici was my favorite. Service was attentive and the food came out quickly! Loved the mood of the place and the music. :)

    16" Thin Crust Pizza
    Helena W.

    Omg where do I even start??! This pizza is by far one of the top tier pizzas I've ever had (this is in comparison to NYC pizza like Lucali's and L'industrie). We built our own pizza and put Italian sausage, caramelized shallots, and red onions, CHEFS KISS!! The fresh basil on top is amazing too. I actually really liked how the pizza was cut into smaller squares instead of triangles too. It's plenty for 2 people imo. The flavor of the sauce and cheese is everything, YOU MUST TRY IT!! The location of this place is also so hidden so it look us a while to find it, but it's definitely a IYKYK type of place. Service was great besides there not really being a check in area so we had to ask them if we just seat ourselves, but our waitress was super friendly. The decor is super cute, the place is super cozy, and it's a nice date night spot or place to catch up with a friend. Give this place a try when u can!! Also note the days they're open and the days they're not, it's not very intuitive.

    Once a bank, this two-story space has gone from counting dollars to counting cocktails, and…read morehonestly, it seems very happy about it. The old bones are still showing, with exposed brick walls and the large open windows giving the place that "well, they sure don't build 'em like this anymore" kind of charm. Right smack in the middle of the main floor sits a big ol' bar, surrounded by bright lime-green accent chairs that somehow make perfect sense once you're sitting in one, bellying up to the aluminum topped bar. Tables are scattered throughout both floors, all are absolutely packed, and not a grumpy face in sight. Upstairs, the two-story layout gives the place a little extra breathing room and a touch of old-building grandeur. It's quirky without trying too hard, colorful without being fussy, and comfortable in that distinctly Midwestern way. Why not start with an Old Fashioned and those Wisconsin cheese curds--because apparently regular cheese wasn't doing enough heavy lifting. These little golden nuggets come out hot, crisp, and gloriously greasy, a little salty, a little oily, plenty cheesy, and best eaten while they're still hot enough to make you question your life choices. The Old Fashioned, well... bless its heart, it tried. It had all the usual suspects--whiskey, a little sweetness, an orange garnish, and a healthy dose of bitters--but somehow the bitters forgot to show up for work. It wasn't terrible, exactly. It just lacked that gruff Wisconsin attitude you'd hope for in an Old Fashioned. God Bless The Queen! The Queen is their wood-fired pizza that keeps things simple while teasing your taste buds with rich fresh flavor. The flavors are classic Italian comfort, with the tomato bringing a little tang, the mozzarella keeping things creamy, and the Parmesan adding that salty, nutty punch at the end. The basil gives it a fresh, herby lift, while the wood-fired crust brings that smoky, crispy edge that makes you want to pick up another slice before you've even finished the first. Loved it! Eating this pizza in an old bank feels like peak Wisconsin: keep the brick, add a bar, fire up a pizza oven, and throw some cheese curds at the situation. Somehow, it works. Cheers!

AMBIANCE - situated on one of the main drags of downtown, this place definitely had a college staple vibe to it, though we did see a number of families in here while we were dining. Adequate seating and fairly clean, I can see this place getting packed during the school year. SERVICE - people working the counter were very friendly, and made a few recommendations on which slices we should try. While we did stray from some of their recommendations, they got our order out hot and fast. MENU - I love pizza joints like this - sell by slice with a number of both classic and creative takes on pizza. They also have rotating special slices. I think we just missed their July 4th specials, but they had plenty of other options to choose from. FOOD - we ended up going with a macaroni and cheese slice, as well as a bbq chicken ranch pizza. considering my kids had just eaten a meal, you would have never known as they finished the majority of both slices. While the bbq chicken was good, the star was the mac and cheese pizza. My one son declared this the best thing he had in Madison ("that's high praise"). OVERALL - definitely worth a stop if you got a pizza hankering. $4-6 bucks a slice? make sure to try a few and see which one you like best. CELEBRITY RATING - Michael Cera

As with their Garver location there were about a dozen pies to choose from - most of them are a bit too weird for my taste so I just stuck with a classic like pepperoni and mushroom. Though reheated the large slices were very tasty. $5-$6 a slice. They also have salads and some other snack items. Unlike at Garver they do not have beer - makes sense given the State Street location - I am sure they do this to reduce their headaches. A good slice at a good price.

When you walk in, you place your order at the counter, and bring an order number to your table. I'm on the search for the best pizza in Madison, and Novanta made it pretty high on my list.

I'm a huge fan of pizzas baked in stone ovens, and I was not disappointed by Novanta's ovens, which were imported from Italy. The staff was very friendly!

With 2 Wood fire pizza ovens and an open kitchen concept, this place was it for me. Pizza: personal size, got the Salsiccia ($13) which was delicious. Crust was amazing, thin but scrumptious. Service: it was empty when I went at 2 and you order and pay first even if dining in. A lady (I believe her name was Lugenia?) was manning the front. Had to ask for napkins and asked for a cup of water. Got the napkins and an empty cup, water never showed up, no explanation. An elderly white couple showed up afterwards and they got the whole speech, come to find out (by eavesdropping) that there's a water fountain in the back. Well now I'm glad I tipped for no service at all. As I was leaving, a young lad was changing shifts with her and he seemed very friendly and thanked me for coming in. So maybe I just got unlucky with the service because he seemed a lot chipper. Parking: in the back, make a right at the light after passing the bagels shop. TLDR: come for the great pizza, but service could probably be a hit or miss. Takeout pizza would be amazing here.

We started eating it within minutes, outside, but it was just a mess. The square slices are a bit weird but not the end of the world. The soggy bottom was a real problem though. It wasn't like the pizza had been sitting steaming for half an hour, it was less than 5 min from when someone handed us the box. I also wasn't particularly impressed with the double crust/sauce - which I wanted because the menu says thin crust and I like pizza with enough chewy crust to feel like I'm actually eating something. The part underneath the toppings felt like standard crust though, while the thick part was heftier (although strangely puffed because it's 2 layers). The toppings themselves were just ok, not all that flavorful. I'm not sure what went wrong with the crust since even in the restaurant it would come out on a pan. Maybe their double crust just doesn't work?
