I love Ian's,it's so nice to be able to just buy a slice. I'm always up for trying a different unique flavor and they make it so easy! Plus they do have gluten free and vegan options. I resisted trying the Mac n cheese pizza, it was surprisingly super good and now one of my go to slices read more

I only stop at Ian's once a year... Maybe twice... to feed my New York style pizza desire. I brought a friend of mine who has never eaten at Ian's, let alone heard of it, until tonight. I am so embarrassed by the way the employee acted, and will make a note to never suggest or besmirch my own name for this place. Good as dead based off your employees attitude tonight. read more

tl;dr: Eclectic variety, friendly and fast service, delicious pizza by the slice and even a surprisingly good karaoke show from the staff thanks to the perfect playlist. We will definitely return. Stopped in on a Saturday for lunch before a show at the Oriental. The variety of pizzas by the slice here is crazy. Sure, there is your traditionals, but then there is macaroni and cheese pizza, baked penne pizza, buffalo cauliflower pizza, cheesy potato and ranch, drunken ravioli and so many more. I opted for a slice of Smokey the Bandit, which has BBQ Sauce, Mozzarella, Dry Rubbed Chicken, BBQ Sauce, Cheddar, Bacon, & Ranch. My daughter went with a classic pepperoni slice. Plus, we ordered a bag of their gluten-friendly puppy chow. While we waited for our slices to heat up, we noticed the playlist was rocking and the staff were singing along. Always good to see staff enjoying themselves at work. Our pizzas were delicious. NY style thin crust with a crispy bottom and a little chew. So good and completely devoured. Oh, and the puppy chow was darn tasty, too. I definitely recommend this slice joint! read more

Lil pricey but good vegan options. Filler characters fillers characters. The pizza was real tasty.

East side flair! Love the selections of pizza! Don't worry, they have salads and breadsticks! The seating outside is most enjoyable on a breezy, summer day. There is indoor seating as well. Select your food, pizza will be warmed in the oven and is to you in minutes. I was disappointed with the "garlic sauce" for my breadsticks as it was thick and still refrigerated and lacked a garlic taste.. read more

Great 'za but please don't grab sticks in your bare hand and stick in warmer. And then pick at your ear. Nasty.

Not sure why they can't figure out delivery. Every pizza we order is cold. Today's sat for 20 minutes before a driver picked it up. Then had the nerve to say we lit the address in wrong ....except it self populates with our order. read more

Ian's Pizza is a 'by the slice' pizza place. The slices are pretty big and worth the price. I loved the feel of the place. There is a lot of cool art to look at that decorste the walls. They have a variety of special pizza slices you can choose from. It took me a minute to take in all the options and the worker was very patient explaining what some of their favorites were. I ended up getting a slice of the Mac and cheese (what they are known for) and the smoky bandit. My friend got the penne Alfredo and cheesy potato. I also ended up ordering a garlic bread and a half Cesaer salad. We dined in and I was enjoying every bite of my food. I loved the flavors of the different pizzas and how creative they get into blending the ingredients so it pairs well. They had a few pizzas that I wanted to try so I'll definitely have to make a trip back to Milwaukeee for some. The Cesaer salad was huge for a side portion but was worth it. I'm not use to eggs being included with a Caesar but I'm not mad at it. The garlic bread looks amazing but if you need to skip out on something you could forgo that. It was just okay. But overall their pizzas are where it's at. read more

I will always have a warm spot in my heart for Ian's, the pizza delivered to us in the protests against Act 10 in Madison. To me, this pizza tastes like justice. But pizza, like justice, is best fresh out of the oven, so what you want do at this location is ask which pizza was most recently made or is there a pizza coming out very soon. It's a nice place to eat in, but you have to be ready to climb the stairs. They have some old school arcade games so get your quarters before going up. I'm not a big fan of macaroni and cheese as a pizza but if you've never had the experience you should try it at least once in your life. And it doesn't matter what your political views are, peaceful protest is an important part of the way democracy works, and this truly the best pizza for making democracy work. read more

This modern hipster regional pizza chain hits the spot! It was a bit strange walking in to the beat of the soundtrack to Disney's Beauty of the Beast, with the staff singing along, but that's okay since it's one of my favorites(hard to admit as a 40-something year old straight man). It's a quick serve pizza joint, but its a notch above with delicious pizza in unique and culinary combinations. $4.50 for generous slice of cheese or pepperoni, but $5.50 gets you the fun creative stuff. I had a special "Chicken Empanada" slice, and a fresh veggie slice, both devine. read more

I recently visited Milwaukee and had to stop by Ian's Pizza. Having been here dozens of times when I lived in Milwaukee, I can honestly say I love it. I always get the Mac n' Cheese pizza with green chile ranch, and it never disappoints. It's a chill place with great pizza, and I'll always recommend it to anyone looking for a quick and casual dining experience. read more

Ordered a Pepperoni, mushroom and onion pizza to go - was told it would be 15 minutes- and it was. Would have been nice if they would have taken 20 to 25 so it was fully cooked. Sauce had no flavor other than being salty. Mushrooms looked like they came out a can. Onions were good, pepperoni was ok. Was ~6:45 on a Thursday evening steady business, but not busy. read more

Its a tradition for me and my sister to come here whenever I visit her. The mac n cheese never disappoints- I usually get that and another one but honestly always wish I just got 2 mac and cheese pizzas. Also look how crazy my sister eats her pizza read more

A friend recommended this place so we stopped in before they closed for the night. Not many slices to pick from probably cause they're closing, but they do mention on their menu if you don't see it, ask and they'll make it happen. Got a variety of slices including two plain. Pizza wasn't bad at all but I have a massive pet peeve when they don't bring the sauce and cheese all the way to the edge. It left this giant border for a crust, which I left behind. Staff I engaged with was pretty friendly. You can tell they enjoy the work they do, which was good to see. Atmosphere is pretty loud which is understandable for the amount of people stopping in. One of the pizza makers (maybe owner/supervisor) stood up on a platform to elevate himself to patrons and announced they were closing for the night. It was a bit extra but everyone seemed to enjoy his 30 second speech. read more

Their large pizza is seriously huge... We ordered the sausage mushroom take out. It was done right on time, the staff was friendly, and pick up was easy peasy. It was satisfying, but nothing wow about it. Reminded me a lot of the pizzas I used to have back in the college days. I'm sorry if I sound like a pizza snob... it looks like other yelpers like this place a lot more than we did. I just feel that the pizza scene has evolved a lot in the last 20 years, and this one just took me back in time. Kind of like watching an old classic... ok, so I don't want to start anything here... but I love Star Trek. I like them all, but my favorite is the Next Generation. I really do like the Original Series as well, especially the acting and the plot... but it seems so old compared to Next Generation. (Not to say that better CG make better shows, since some of the newer shows are nothing as good as the old ones, even with epic CG.) I digress. So anyway, Ian's was like the Original Series. read more

Solid pizza place with creative offerings. Street parking was easy to find. The smell inside was *amazing*. There were several fresh pies. and a few tired, older looking pizzas in the window. One of my kids really wanted the sausage Alfredo (one of the older looking pies), and I was surprised at how well it perked back up after a trip in the "revival" warming oven. There were so many unique offerings, I had a difficult time deciding which one to simple. I wish there was a 50/50 slice for us indecisive folk, but the woman behind the counter was helpful and offered some suggestions to guide me on my way. There were even a few vegan offerings (nice touch!) HUGE salads - and lots of options there too, including a build your own. Same with the pizza - If Mac and cheese or taco weren't your style, you could totally DIY one. The crust was really crisp on the bottom. bordering on almost burnt, which I kind of enjoyed. It was nice and sturdy. The dough itself was chewy, and more yeasty than sourdough-y, which Is pretty good at this price point. The sauce was flavorful and plentiful on my slice (tomato, fresh mozzarella, and basil - so skimping here - impressive). We also tried the drunken ravioli (cheese ravioli and a flavorful sauce), pep and cheese (kids), sausage Alfredo, a greek salad (HUGE portion - a bit too much dressing for my taste, but that's me being a snob! most people would like it that way). Breadsticks - pretty standard here. Puppy chow - WHAT? Are you kidding me? I did not need it, but could not resist. The little also insisted on the fruity pebbles rice Krispy treat - no survivors on dessert. Overall, good value, solid pizza, nice variety, very unique offerings. Seating area here was fairly small and shaped a little awkwardly (some Ninja-Tetris moves required to get in and out of our booth with the table next to us). Staff were super friendly. Cool branding - both literally and figuratively. Also, don't count on using the ATM. It had a sad little Wreck it Ralph sticker on the broken screen. read more

Mac N' Cheese Pizza: Ian's first opened in Madison, WI in 2001 near my alma mater. Ian wanted to create a late-night, pizza-by-the-slice venue. It's said that while in college and working at a pizza joint, Ian began making plans for his own restaurant after a trip to Italy. I vaguely recall having Ian's once after a late night excursion, but that was about a decade ago. Ian's has since expanded to Milwaukee, Denver, and Seattle. The opportunity arose recently to try Ian's, so I went for it. I had to know if it was as good sober as it was after a night of college partying. The slice is about the size of a standard paper plate and is New York Style thin crust. The M.N.C. pizza comes with creme, Mozzarella, mac noodles, & Cheddar. I thought the crust had a nice flavor and for a thin crust it was fine, not to firm or to flimsy (I'm still team pan style). There was plenty of cheese to keep me happy and a moderate amount of noodles. The noodles were not cheese flavored, but buttery. The "creme" was sadly laking resulting in a dry pizza that would have benefited with some type of cheese sauce.Even though this is the slice Ian's is best known for, in my post-grad years I've experienced better (Pizza Shuttle's take on the mac n cheese pizza is phenomenal). It was an above average slice of pizza, so I can still recommend giving Ian's a try (just be aware there is better). My top MKE pizza parlors: 1. Pizza Shuttle 2. Pizzeria Scotty 3. Marco's (on Howell) read more

The Vegan options look amazing af. Like the best. Usually I don't eat vegan or veggie but here I always end up picking those slices since they look so delicious. The pizza is ordered by meat combo pep and like ends up to veggie so it's very friendly for people who don't want to cross contaminate. Service is always very quick even when it's busy at the end of a late night. Like let's just say it's the spot for late night noms here. The ingreadients always look good and it's always a huge slice for the price. 2 slices usually is a good amount for myself to feel full. read more

Not gonna lie, I was a bit skeptical when my boyfriend told me this was one of his top pizza places, but he was correct! We came in and it was pretty empty, so we had time to look through the choices. I wanted to try something new and special. I got the Smokey the Bandit and absolutely loved it! It was balanced, a bit salty, but the sauce on top was great. I really enjoyed the restaurant itself and the food. The crust is the perfect chewy and crispy, a great thickness, and topped with quality toppings. I crave this every time I look at pictures and when I'm craving pizza, but I'm sad I'm about 8 hours away! I recommend if you're coming home from a night out, come here because it will satisfy your late night cravings! I think each slice was about $4. There's street parking and a couple places around that area to explore! read more

I don't care what Dave Portnoy says, this pizza is amazing. I love how creative they get with their featured flavors. So far my favorite has been Blackened Blue Burger but I'm currently waiting on the Cochin Pibil to release in April 19th. They obviously have classics and I can always go for a slice of pepperoni. I also enjoy their staples like buffalo chicken. They have several vegsn options and salads. If you get there before bar close they serve beer but there is also soda and gatorade. They offer specialty rice krispy treats like animal cookie, caramel apple, red velvet, birthday cake, etc. This is a hot spot for late night but be aware that the latter you do, the more likely your favorite slices will sell out. You really can be sober and enjoy their pizza! This particular spot is next to Crossroads Collective so you can order your pizza then sit outside at the picnic tables. Slices are affordable and run $4.50-$6.50. You can also order whole pizzas or delivery. There is an online option if you're looking for whole pizzas! read more

Pretty much every Milwaukeean has eaten or at least heard of Ian's pizza. Especially if you went to UWM (just saying). The pizza is...alright. Very thin (but flavorful) crust. I think the biggest draw with the pizza is the topping options. Ian's serves up some wild topping combos - think battered tilapia with French fries. I can't recommend the mac and cheese slice enough. So tasty! Another great aspect of Ian's is you can buy pizza by the slice. We grabbed a few and headed over to Deer District to gobble some down before a Bucks game at one of the public-use tables. A move we would pull again. Prices and wait time were reasonable. It was hard to hear the employee with the glass walls and masks so be prepared to speak up. Also, there is no dining-in here now. But I wouldn't consider that a deal breaker. read more

Their pizza is just as amazing in house as it is when you get it delivered. The place when you go in is exactly what you're hoping it's going to be - somewhere to get a ton of food for not a whole lot of money and a place to stuff all of it in your face. I've had five or six of their pizza varieties recently and when I went in last I got a slice of their ravioli pizza and a slice of their mac and cheese pizza and I recommend both wholeheartedly. They have a decent beer selection, too, and they serve Coke products not Pepsi if that influences your pizza eating choices at all. read more

Always satisfies my pizza craving! Love their specialty pizzas, just wish their slices were cheaper cuz yo girl's broke BUT no complaining for $4.50 for a slice thats bigger than your face. I typically go pick up my food so not sure how fast they are with delivery. I appreciate their COVID precautions and signs they have up though. Their crust/sauce ratio was so good on this last pizza we ordered and we kept commenting on how chewy the crust was! Also, didn't know that you could just buy raw pizza dough, but for $3 that's an option for a fun (or stressful) night in! read more

Ian's has to be a 5/5! Great pizza and a cool atmosphere! Pizza is the best food. Everyone knows this. But Ian's puts a nice spin on this with their selection of non-traditional pizzas! Mac and cheese, gyro, buffalo chicken, tomato pesto, and many more! Most of which are delicious! Obviously they still have the classic cheese, pepperoni, and sausage as well. All of this pizza is served by the slice if you walk in without a pre order. Other wise you can also call in a takeout order of a whole pie of your favorite za! Worth noting is that they always have vegan slices available on the far right side of the pizza bar! It doesn't end at pizza though there is also a salad bar which looks really good! They also have breadsticks and puppy chow for desert. Overall a good place to have a few slices of pizza with friends. The noise level can get up there during the day and certainly at night when this place really fills up with college students. Give it a try! read more

I came in an ordered a pizza to go while I had a beer. After seeing others ahead of me pick up full pizza orders and it was 30 minutes since I ordered I asked where it was. Whoops said the counter person. They forgot to add my name to the order and it hadn't been worked on by the kitchen. She probably couldn't hear me because the music was cranked to an 11 right by where people had to SPEAK and HEAR to complete an order. So here I am waiting for another 20 minutes I'm order to get the box and get out of here. Love the pizza but when I thought I was saving time to order and take directly from the store they convinced me I should have ordered from Story Hill using Uber Eats. Thanks much! Not like I have anything else to do but wait right? Day was Friday 08/19 and time of order was around 3:30 pm. Posted for the manager just in case they want to follow up with the person who wasted my time. read more

I love the pizza and the ranch is AMAZING, but it's never a good time when you're picking up a pizza to go. It's always a 15+ minute ordeal to find someone to help you. Recently I ordered a pizza and came 40 minutes after ordering--online said it would be ready in 30min--and they didn't start making the pizza until I went to pick it up. They really need a better pick up process so you're in and out quick--especially if you've already paid. read more
