We enjoyed the summer harvest salad, yummy umami pie and a grilled peach & tomato platter (can't recall the name) special. Everything was fresh, tasty and beautiful. We ate too much because we couldn't take leftovers to the concert and we didn't want to throw anything away. Definitely recommend!

I always enjoy checking out local favorites when I travel, and Lucille's in downtown Madison…read moreabsolutely lived up to the hype. On a beautiful day, I grabbed a table outside and enjoyed the downtown atmosphere while digging into a classic wood-fired personal pizza and a cold beer. Sometimes simple is best, and Lucille's proves exactly that. The pizza was delicious, with a perfectly cooked crust and great flavor in every bite. The service was friendly and attentive, and the staff made the experience even better. Combined with the lively ambiance and prime downtown location, it's easy to see why Lucille's has become one of the most popular pizza spots in Madison. Great pizza, great service, and great vibes. If you're visiting Madison or looking for a reliable local favorite, Lucille's is well worth the stop.

But the reason we're here is for pizza... and I was disappointed as most of the bottom of the pizza was burnt. From above it looked fantastic. But the taste was burnt, and it didn't settle well in my stomach which I dealt with when I got home. I tried to have a couple slices on the inside but when you ate any of the pieces, there was a heavy bitter burnt taste. The pizzeria did offer to replace my pizza but i've always been fearful of something coming back that maybe worse with spit or something. I just feel food should have been looked at by the head chef before sending out of the kitchen. We may comeback next time, but it would just be for drinks and appetizers.

Super easy pickup. We ordered the tik tik boom and the not on the first date pizzas, unsliced so that the toppings stayed on better. It's nice that they make this recommendation when ordering. It's a good Detoit style, which we likened to a focaccia with toppings and a nice crust of cheese around the sides. The tik tik boom was our favorite, as the toppings paired well together and it's a unique flavor. The not on the first date had my favorite sauce of the two as even though it didn't say it, there seemed to be a little lime in the crema. Overall, would recommend!

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.

I was also disappointed that there were no slices of pepperoni, or anything with pepperoni at all. Sadness making for sure.

When I go back I'll make sure they warm up my slices all the way through and then some...and hopefully they'll have pepp!

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. The ingredients tasted fresh, and the flavors were simple but delicious, like most Neapolitan pizzas. 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! They greeted us warmly and made sure we had everything we needed when the pizzas were served. I will definitely be back soon!

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.
