    Great place for lunch - right in downtown Madison - to get a slice or two for a quick meal. Many choices; can get "standard" pizza or "gourmet". I got one of each. Easy seating; drink machine; fast service. Inexpensive and lots of choices. Has a little bit of that college spot feel.

    Mac n cheese / Mexican
    PJ S.

    Ian's offers NYC style pizza by the slice. Good hand tossed crust on all pies. The Mac-n-cheese pizza was featured on The Food Network so I tried that and a slice of their Mexican/Taco pizza. I actually wsnt wowed by the Mac-n-cheese. Kinda bland. Needed some hot sauce to give it some taste. The Mexican pizza on the other hand was insanely delicious. Easily the best slice of pie with that theme I've ever had. Really good seasoning and ingredients on that one. Get that one ! Its a grab-n-go at the counter kind of place with lots of seating all within an easy walk from the State Capital. Nice place !

    Didn't expect much from a pizza chain with pasta on top of their slices, but that was my mistake. The mac n' cheese pizza was bomb. I thought it would be soggy or too cheesy, but it was neither. The crust held up like a champ and was even crispy. The mac was just right. I regret not trying another flavor, but at least I got some fresh breadsticks with stellar marinara sauce. I'll be back here next time I'm in Madison.

    Such a Madison staple you must try. The Mac and cheese pizza is the best! And for a sweet treat the puppy chow is amazing!

    Mac and cheese, potato cheese

    Super good! We got to try 4 different slices. Great service, people are super nice and helpful. Mac and cheese: 8/10, great crust, super cheesy, has a white sauce. Pretty balanced and not too doughy-starchy. I would eat right away Bbq chicken: 8.5:10, good! Sweet, savory, has a tiny kick. Potato cheese: 5/10, not my favorite but still hits. There's too much chewiness but the flavors are great. Needs more texture Burger: 8/10 SO YUMMY! It has a tang, has a lot of crunch to it and bits of meat.

    Yummy pizza after a drinking-filled night at the piano bar next door. Service was fast. Bathrooms semi-clean. Friendly people.

    BBQ Chicken

    Really yummy casual spot for big pizza slices. I shared 3 slices with my mom and we were stuffed. Shockingly, my favorite was the spinach feta pizza. BBQ chicken was a close second. The Mac and cheese pizza was a must since it's Wisconsin and definitely hit the spot. All the pizza slices were crispy and oozing with cheese. The slices are simply heated and then served, which makes the process real fast. I would come back if I'm ever back in Madison!

    Stopped in for a slice of pizza in the afternoon. The service was quick, you order in line and the pizza is heated up in an oven and ready for pickup at the counter within a couple minutes. Both slices were dense, hearty, and definitely unique flavors. College spot vibe upscale and modern.

    A casual spot with really good mac n cheese pizza. Quick and fast, can't go wrong. The cheese sauce flavour really comes out

    Pizza by the slice at Ian's Pizza Madison | State Street

    Lunch time and wanting a snack, I found Ian's and thankfully, they sell pizza by the slice. Since this is Wisconsin, it's got to be cheese and cheese and more cheese, so I opted for the pizza with macaroni and cheese on top. Sounds weird, tastes awesome. While enjoying my slice, I found a power outlet nearby and was able to stuff some juice into my phone. A double win. Friendly service, great pizza, lots of options.

    All veg, vegan, add pepperoni (so dairy free).
    Brian S.

    I tried Ian's Pizza on a whim, and I'm really glad I did. I have a hard time with dairy, and I was happy when I found a local pizza joint that offers dairy-free cheese. I decided to order the "All Veg" with pepperoni and vegan cheese, and it was delicious. There were a ton of veggies on it, probably 2-3 servings on a small, and the crust was also really, really good too. The size of the pizza was also a good value for the price. I ate this pizza as I was driving home to Minneapolis, but I did appreciate the interior; it has the sort of ambiance that pizza places did in the 90's, and it's definitely kid friendly. They also have a small outdoor area. Service was fast and friendly. All in all, a great pizza place in Madison, especially if you are dairy free or vegan.

    This is the drunk food of Madison, period. This place is incredible. Highly highly recommend the bbq chicken slice. The pic is from my first time going when I tried the Mac slice, after having been, I only get the bbq chicken, I almost think it's a homemade bbq sauce it's that good(middle and right slices are both bbq chicken)

    Salad
    Sarah F.

    Update: I returned here for an in person experience before a comedy event at the Orpheum just down the block. We had a salad, split some pizza, had sodas. The slices are undoubtedly huge, we were very full. I was surprised at how good the salad was, pizza places are not always great with a delicious salad. The place was HOPPIN -- it's a popular college town pizza joint. The seating is first come first serve, a little tight with people close by, but we would absolutely return.

    Whatever you guys did to the breadsticks today was unreal. Crispy, not doughy like usual--seriously amazing. Please don't change that.

    I don't see gluten feee pizza listed? Do they make a gluten free crust?

    Yes. I've seen signs inside that indicate they will make a pizza special for a person. A friend of ours has a child and when we've had pizza at Ian's with them, he kid gets his own. The pizzas in the main display aren't gluten free because most… Read more

Food: A nice selection of pizza, split between ones with and without tomato sauce. I got the Lombarda which has Gorgonzola Cream, Pears and Apricot Glaze and Arugula. My wife got a cheese, sausage, mushroom and onion (CSMO). Both of them came out, pipe hot, with nice crisp crust. Nice presentation for both pizzas. They were both good, but I was a bit underwhelmed with the Lombarda. If it had Apricot Glaze, it wasn't very noticable, and maybe was the reason that it needed a bit of salt to enhance the toppings. The CSMO was very flavorful, and clearly the better of the two. Service: Super friendly and helpful service, both when ordering and when the food was delivered. The cashier was patient and happy to give us advice on what their favorites were. Atmosphere: It's a small place. Some interesting vintage large photo print on the walls.
