    Great! Fresh! Yummy! Pepperoni, sauce and crust ON POINT! I'd put it right up there with any woodfired pizza out there. Delivery was a little late, but it's so cold out. I was just happy to have delivery.

    6-Pack Sticks

    I got takeout from here for my friend who just had knee surgery and myself. I placed the ordered online earlier in the day and scheduled a pickup for 6:15pm the same day. The online ordering portal was very easy to use. I received a text at 6:14pm saying my order was ready, just as I was pulling up. There was still a few minutes wait to get my order, but it wasn't long and it gave me an opportunity to look at all the other pizza that's available by slice (bigger than my head) that were available. I ordered a small pepperoni and a small All the Veg without olives and extra cheeses. I don't usually check my orders before I leave, but I'm really glad I did here. The veg pizza had olives. The person helping me was very sweet and confirmed that my order was supposed to be without olives. They comped the price of that pizza and remade it for me, which honestly didn't take very long. As I waited, temptation got the better of me and I ended up getting a 6-pack of breadsticks with the marinara and the garlic butter. Despite the olive mishap, the experience was very pleasant! The pizza was delicious and the toppings were not sparse. The pizza had a nice crispy crust and the slice was perfectly chewy. The breadsticks were thick with a fluffy interior. I only wish they were more garlicky. The leftovers reheated nicely as well. They also have so many different flavors of pizza and I am definitely going to be back to try some of the others.

    My favorite pizza please. First tried this in Madison and fell in love. Wish we had some back in Illinois for sure. Luckily on my way back from Madison, stopped by this place in Milwaukee. Service was pretty quick. I ended up ordering the Mac and cheese pizza and the mushroom penne. So delicious!!! I also ordered 3 breadsticks with the vodka marinara. Which the vodka marinara was to die for. I ended up ordering to go. But still the best pizza ever!

    The crust is so good.

    Service was great, they are very nice. The crunch of the pizza was really good. Better than expected. Sauce was good for the dipping. Now the bathroom peeee yewww!! The urine smell was so bad. The prices are to high for just a slice. $2.00 per slice would have been more appreciated and appropriate.

    Sticks with ranch and green chili ranch

    It doesn't get better than Ian's. This is a staple every time I go to Milwaukee. They are always coming up with new and innovative features such as crab Rangoon pizza. Tried their GF build your own for the first time tonight and my expectations were low because gluten free pizza, generally, is usually just edible...but wow! I almost ate the whole 12" in one sitting. I made my husband that enjoys all the gluten try it and he could not tell that it was GF and if you've ever had GF pizza, you always know. The texture is never quite right. Anyways, it was awesome and can't wait to order again. Their regular crust pizza is always spot on and never disappointing. They have coke products - Cherry coke on fountain & the best ranch. (Green chili ranch is amazing too.) LOVE Ian's so much.

    Pick your pre-made slice

    (From September 2021) I remember strolling in here on a late Sunday night after bar hopping. Of course pizza is the way to go when you've had several drinks in you. You'll be greeted by the variety of slices in the display when you walk in. They have a variety of slices to choose from such as Mac and cheese pizza, bbq chicken, and baked penne. I went with the buffalo chicken and spinach feta pesto. The taste was alright, but the consistency of the slices weren't there with the middle areas of the pizza not as hot as the others. The slices are pre-made also so who knows how long they've been sitting out. The restaurant is clean so credit for that given how germaphobic we've become these days. The location is in their favor being near a bunch of bars and they're open late (I think). I may try them again when I'm back in MKE.

    I finally got over try this place and check them out because sometimes I just want a slice of pizza and not a whole pizza. The place was empty on a Sunday afternoon, the super bowl probably had everything to do with that. The place is nice and fresh looking with red walls and exposed brick. This place doesn't make your slice fresh like the place on the south side and all the pizzas are pre made and heated to order. I ordered the sausage slice which was ready in minutes. The menu also has some beer and salads I noticed. The sausage pizza is horrible looking with super thin sausage slices like pepperoni that curl up from cooking. The crust was thin just like the toppings and cheese that has a slight crisp on the bottom. This pizza slice didn't really satisfy me for a cheese and sausage pizza because because the toppings are thin, it's not meaty or cheesy like a good pizza. If I was blind folded and feed this pizza I would have said it's one of the better frozen brands. I would much rather go to one of those two pizza chains that have the unlimited toppings and cook your pizza to order if I'm going to do fast food pizza.

    Six pack of bread sticks
    Greg B.

    I stopped yesterday for the Story Hill location's first day in business. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by three employees behind the counter and a counter full of delicious slices to choose from. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. When I asked if they had more than just the one slice of Drunken Ravioli that I saw, I was told they would make more right away and bring it out as soon as it was ready. It's nice to see that already on day one the employees are trying hard to make customers happy and want to stop again. The slices and breadsticks were up to par with Ian's quality from their other locations. My kids, which normally are super picky about what brands of pizza they eat, both tried Ian's for the first time and asked for more. The Drunken Ravioli had the nice kick I'm used to from the spicy vodka sauce and the breadsticks were a perfect soft and chewy. The one concern I want to note, which isn't Ian's fault, is that street parking can be very difficult to find before, during, and for a little while after Brewers games. We ended up walking a few blocks from where we parked near Wells and 52nd, but Ian's is totally worth it.

    Mac n' Cheese
    Andy E.

    I've been going to Ian's pizza since you had to go to Madison to eat there. Needless to say, long time fan. The Mac n cheese pizza is a must-have especially if it's your first time going. I forget what they called it but I also got a slice of the Bbq chicken with ranch and stuff on it. SO good. Even the regular pep and sausage slices are delicious. Never had the breadsticks here before so we got a few of those and the bacon queso dip. The bacon flavor was strong so if you're into that it was great! Ian's is a classic pizza spot, if you've never been there, do yourself a favor and go there.

    Mushroom and Cheese 20" Pizza
    Che D.

    Great pizza!!! Great customer service!!! Had a all mushroom and cheese and it's sooooo gooood! Ian's always delivers!

    Checking out the new Ian's location.
    Lindsey T.

    We love Ian's but live near Tosa so it's always been a hike to go downtown or the east side just for pizza. We were so excited for the Story Hill location to open! We received the same great service and same great food. This inside isn't very family friendly - yet. All of the available seating is alone the open windows facing Bluemound. There are no shades so the sun is beaming right on you and it's very uncomfortable. There are three tables but no seats to go with the tables. Definitely recommend if you were to come in the evening or for carry out.

    Met friends at Zaffiro's for dinner, a place they consider one of their favorites. They have always…read moreraved about how incredible the pizza is, and I have to agree. This old school, family owned restaurant is very much a neighborhood classic that has stood the test of time. The thin crust is the perfect base for the amazingly tangy Italian sauce. The toppings are generously portioned, and the pizza (available in 12" & 14") is cut into squares, which make it all too easy to eat more! We started with the fried mushrooms and eggplant, which were very generously sized. Our table of four barely made a dent. The breading on both was great, trapping in the heat, flavors and firmness of the veggies. The eggplant especially, which in my experience can be mushy, was excellent. I loved how it was served with lemon wedges. The tartness of the lemon mixed with the zest of the marinara sauce made the eggplant something I could have eaten just by itself. The restaurant has a bar area first, then a dining room adjacent. The tables here are packed in pretty tight. We ended up at a corner table, and could bump elbows with the people sitting next to us. Still, everyone was respectful of each other's space and no issues were had. Our servers maneuvered through effortlessly and quickly.

    I love Zaffiro's: so many of my friends think only of pizza but the menu is so much more!…read more There are options for dining (room or by and at the bar) and a full bar. Every time I go, I always think, "They come to take orders or simply check on us the perfect amount"--I know they want to ensure I've got everything I need but they don't feel overbearing (this is regarding servers or the bartender). Finally, I order the same thing each time: garden salad with house Italian dressing and the special pizza (sausage, mushroom, onion). Salad is crisp and the pizza is consistent--the best.

I love the location of this restaurant, a cozy little nook set apart from the business of downtown but still so accessible! With events happening at the fiserv and new music venue in the deer district, it was a welcome reprieve from the action. The restaurant itself is lively but chill - is there a word for that!? lol very laid back, friendly and informed staff. We were able to snag a seat at the bar which was great - it's probably got 12-15 seats. Full dinner service too! My husband got a mezcal old fashioned (not on the menu) and I got a spicy margarita. Both were great! As for food, the menu is eclectic, but everything looks and tasted great! We got 2 appetizers, the bruschetta and stuff pepper - both were delish!! And then we shared the braised beef risotto topped off the night with a spirit free strawberry Fresca & churros (SO GOOD). Great experience for deciding last minute and getting a walk in spot.

    First time coming here…read more Food: The menu has a lot of excellent choices. The drink menu features plenty of specialty cocktails, and I took our server's recommendation and ordered the Whisky Paloma, which was an excellent choice. I loved the chili dust along the rim. If you like pizza, they have an interesting selection featuring ingredients such as peaches, figs, and bacon. It was hard to decide, but I ended up ordering the Burrata pizza with grilled peaches, arugula, and honey. It was very good and would have been even better with a few more grilled peaches. I also ordered the grilled octopus because, if it's on the menu, I just have to try it. It was very good, along with the accompanying roasted potatoes. I prefer my octopus well grilled and firm, and this preparation was a bit softer than I would have liked. We finished with the tiramisu, which was a little disappointing. It was both very cold, as though it had just been thawed, and a bit soggy. Service: The service was very good throughout the evening. We were seated right away, and our server did a nice job of getting us settled in. The drinks and food arrived surprisingly quickly, and we felt well attended to throughout the meal. Thanks, Robert! Atmosphere: The building is a gem, with old brick on the outside and a modern, relaxing design on the inside. There is a foyer where guests are greeted and can wait for their tables. The wood wall treatments and lighting are inventive and upbeat. The many hard surfaces make the acoustics a bit loud, but we were still able to have a conversation comfortably. Overall, it was a very good experience. With a bit more attention to some of the final touches on the food, this could have been an even better experience. We would enjoy coming back again.

We have ordered garlic knots, cheese pizza and the margherita pizza multiples times- summer of 2025 however, now we can clearly conclude that they have downgraded their service and food. Previously we had fluffy garlic knots, smothered in sauce and parmesan however now they are serving burnt pizza crust with a sprinkle of parmesan in place of what they are advertising on their website. The pizza dough was still raw and not edible. Perhaps management has changed, as their phone number and location within the building also have and the previous menu is no longer offered which supports this theory. We did order close to closing time and inquired whether it was too late to place an order however they proceeded to take our order regardless. We would have been more satisfied if they had let us know it was too late and they would not be able to provide the quality service we had been given before. Upset to say that we will no longer be ordering from brute, they have officially lost their game.
