Tuesday trivia! The restaurant itself is okay, what you would expect from a pizza place on a college campus. It was clean but could use a little TLC. We ordered the pizza and pitcher special which is a fair deal. The pizza was tasty for the price and the garlic bites were fairly good. Overall can't complain. I called ahead to confirm that there was trivia and the employee on the phone sounded a bit irritated but the staff were friendly in person. I was surprised that there were only 3 teams for trivia! Definitely think this would be a good hangout spot for college kids and younger adults looking for something to do on a Tuesday. read more

Solid pizza for a college town! The crust was puffy and chewy which was tasty and the topping options were really fun and made for a great pie! Defs a college vibe but thats not a bad thing! Service was quick and friendly. Defs don't skip the cheesy bread read more

Got into the hotel late and found this gem! Did the super pepperoni 12" pizza. The crust was light, airy and crisp! Will definitely order again! read more

The other mad mushroom on the other side of town is better. At this one I alway have trouble with deliveries or being serviced. To test this, and I'm not normally one to drop bad critiques but I sat outside and called and they put me on hold for over 30 mins with it totally dead. They never answered and I called back several times. read more

Best pizza ever. Taking my wife this Valentine's Day and then out jewelry shopping. read more

The food was great, and the service subpar. The restaurant was out of cups and they definitely didn't need to advertise they were hiring. The unclean dining room let me know. read more

Mad Mushroom Pizza - Pizza Near Me - West Lafayette, Indiana

Came in and had lunch last week. Two slices of pepperoni, drink, and side pizza sauce were $7.50. The food was ok. Seasoning on the crust was good, but the service was non-existent. There were 2-3 other tables, and each time someone came in, he took the girl working the front a few minutes to stop chatting with a co-worker. Don't expect perfection, but when you have customers, take a 30-second break to take care of them. For what it was, it was good. Place was clean, and for a quick bite, this is a solid choice. read more

Mad Mushroom Pizza - Two slice pepperoni lunch special ($7.50) - Pizza Near Me - West Lafayette, Indiana

Pizza was really good and the lunch special was crazy cheap. Two slices of pizza and a drink for $6.99.

For fast food pizza mad mush is pretty decent. It is open pretty late which is nice if u want a late night bite. I like their bread sticks with garlic sauce since they're light and fluffy. The pizza is alright, but they are pretty stingy with the toppings. The pizza is made pretty quickly and the drivers are quick and nice. I always get mine delivered so I can't speak on ambiance. read more

I've only indulged late at night, but man does it hit the spot when I do! I'd go for the cheese and marinara sauces with the cheesy bread and always go one size bigger than you think you want. Trust me. Extra is always better! read more

Mad Mushroom Pizza - Pizza Near Me - West Lafayette, Indiana

Mad Mush has become insanely expensive. We tallied up two super size stix and medium pizza for takeout, ended north of eighty before tip which is bonkers. Recalibrated for a super, large, and that pizza but still pushed seventy. I cannot believe how anyone would frequent such price gouging for below average pies. I have noticed the quality gets better the later we order, or perhaps that's our midnight taste buds talking! This location provides a lot of room, excellent menu options, plenty to entice all diets, and easy going staff. It's that must try Purdue pizza palace like Hot Box and Pizza King without the top tier ingredients or flavors like Pizza Uncommon. I rarely go for takeout due to this stuff being way too cheap to make at home but friends and groups dive for Mad Mush once a year it seems and the Cheesystix slap hard. read more

Having explored around Purdue University for a week, I saw Mad Mushroom Pizza many times that I was enticed to try it out. At first glance, I was surprised it was a 3 star average. I ordered a grilled chicken pesto pasta, and my group of friends ordered a variety of pizzas and pastas. The chicken pesto salad was AMAZING. In fact, the large portion felt like a large, and my friend's small felt like a small. The portions are adequately sized for the pastas, and it tasted amazing. The grilled chicken was moist, and not a single piece was dry. While I did not inspect each individual piece of chicken, I could taste the grill marks on each piece. The chicken was paired well with a bed of pasta, and the pasta was cooked to perfection. It was neither soggy nor undercooked. The rest of my friends ordered medium pizzas, and I tried the chicken alfredo one, which was good. The next day, I returned to order a custom pizza to-go to eat back at Hawkins with a friend. We ordered a medium pizza, and to my dismay, the pizza was much smaller than the one that we had eaten and seen yesterday. Initially, I was surprised at the 3-star average. While I would like to give the restaurant a 4 because of the pasta, I am hesitant because the location was not particularly clean (some surfaces were oily / greasy) and the portions for dine-in and takeout were noticeably different. Overall worth a try, but I would not go out of my way to eat it on any day that's not a "lazy day." I agree with the 3-star average. read more

Great spot to grab a Grinder. One of the few places around that still has them. The Italian is my go to. Quick service and a small area to sit and eat. read more

Great cheesesticks--which are basically a pizza in and of themselves with the types of ingredients you can place on them.

As usual one of my favorite go to pizza places in West Lafayette. My sister and I used one of these Thursday deals and got an extra large 20" pizza. That was awesome. I also liked that the employees were wearing masks, ensuring COVID precautions are being taken. Definitely try their philly sauce base & jalapeño pepper topping ( if you love some spice - ITS VERY HOT! ) read more

Great cheese sticks! I loved eating here 20 years ago and it's still good! Delivery was fast and the food was still hot. Good value. We will be eating here again. read more

While the location isn't the same, the cheesesticks are as good as they were back in 1996. Of course, the expansion and revitalization of State St/Chauncey Hill is a perfect location. But that's not what has sustained longevity for Mad Mushroom. Dave Sommers and his staff take pride in their business which keeps college kids and us nostalgic old folks happy. That's the bottom line. The atmosphere in the restaurant was outstanding, the service was terrific and the food (vegan pizzas too) lived up to every bit of expectation. Well done Mad Mushroom. read more

Good pizza, great cheese sticks. Pizza came quickly and they were open late on a Sunday.

First time I had mad mushroom cheesestix with ranch was 1996 when they were on northwestern by Cary Quad. Food is still amazing and top-notch. Don't expect much from the student staff, kind of clueless and confused, but they're nice people nonetheless. Just order and expect even small portions will be large, tasty, and greasy. read more

Friendly environment and nice staff who are flexible with seating configurations. Pizza is good too.

IU has Pizza X. It also has Aver's, Mother Bear's, and your staple chains. Visiting Purdue, everyone only talks about Mad Mushroom: it's a staple of sorts, you see, just like Pizza X breadsticks at IU. I first had them 5 years ago during a cursory Purdue visit, followed up by a visit the following year where we ordered a potato pizza that we couldn't stop raving about. When I went back to campus, after my first stop at The Den for my signature Den Pop, we headed to Mad Mushroom. The vibe? Stoner. The scent? Unbelievable. The food? Don't even GET me started. Most places do cheesestix nowadays- heck, Papa Johns is famous for 'em! But there's something about Mad Mushroom stix that are unique. Perhaps that's just the emotional side of me but hey, it is what it is. They're consistently cheesy without being overwhelming or greasy, and the ranch dipping sauce provided is the perfect accompaniment, although the cheese sauce is a crowd favorite as well. I don't think I'll ever be able to visit Purdue without a stop at Mad Mush for some classic cheesestix. read more

Pizza and cheese sticks were both good. Not the best pizza ever, but better than most of the national chain options.

I ordered a salad and pizza for pickup here. The order was done quick, the employee working was very nice, and the food is great! I'd recommend this place. read more

The guy at the register was super nice with helping us pick what to eat and gave great recommendations! My boyfriend and I both really enjoyed our pizzas. It was a tad expensive but that's to be expected from places that aren't dominos or papa John's. They also had cheap bubbl'r which is always nice to find. read more

I live in West Lafayette, in the apartments right behind the cactus. This location is less than half a mile from my apartment. Yet they refuse to deliver here. I talked to the Lafayette store and he said we should for sure be in range of this location. They just refuse to deliver here. It's just blatantly rude. So when I want Mad mushroom I order from the underwood location and I go pick it up. So now they get my money. Poor service for sure. Just lazy staff. If I could get delivery I'd probably have mad mushroom once a week instead of the every 2 or three weeks I have it now. But I guess they are saving me money. read more

I came to support the High school for a fundraiser, but will never come again. Very bad service. Extremely slow.

Pizza was bland, the cheese sticks were good but the waiter seemed pretty short with us also

Great place with a fun atmosphere. Lots of televisions to watch the games. Fun restaurant after Purdue beats some other team. Easy to get to. They pizza was delicious, but there were not a lot of seats. They also ran out of ice. Eventually they stopped taking orders because it was so crowded. Cheesy bread was good and my teenage daughter says it is worth the wait. It was good, but not worth the 1-1/2 hours we had to wait. Staff was friendly and the bathrooms were clean. I would go back, but not after a game. I could have driven home and eaten a full pizza by the time we finished. read more

If you've ever thought "Man I wish I could have below average pizza at a more expensive price than Little Caesar's", then Mad Mushroom is perfect. read more

The workers are extremely lost. Forgot half my order. Girl at counter was yelling at the other employees. Been waiting in car ever since. I do not recommend. read more

I really love the pizza here! The service and quality is great. Definitely a solid pizza joint for Purdue students!

I have been here a few times now to get the cheese sticks and it has never disappointed. It's pretty consistently fresh and hits the spot. The ranch dipping sauce is probably my favorite. I think it's a Purdue thing but not sure how people eat cheese sticks with nacho cheese dipping sauce haha. Staff were nice, order was made quick, clean and plenty of seating on the inside. Overall good experience and will probably be back. I want to try the other menu items. read more

Mad Mushroom Pizza - Pizza Near Me - West Lafayette, Indiana

Honestly, just go here as a Purdue tradition and for the cheesestix. Pizza is just mediocre overall, and super saucy in my opinion. Everything is definitely very overpriced for a college student, I mean really $15 for a large cheesestix with no toppings???? It is however a fun place to go with a group of people before/after going to the bars, and it's definitely admirable that they're open until 3:30 AM in a town that lacks food options past 9 PM. read more

This place is always delicious. Cheesestix are a must!! It's always clean when I come in for pickup, and they deliver to areas of town that are more sparse on options. read more

Great pizza! Fast delivery but was there after graduation!! Would order again when down there!

This place is literally the worst. Had the time you get the wrong order and the rest they won't even pick up the phone. you're better off making it yourself. They only get service bc some are too drunk. They literally don't deserve to be in business. Such great potential though. Wish whoever ran it would be replaced. read more

I frequently go to Mad Mushroom on campus for lunch. They have a nice variety to choose from. Most of my coworkers get a salad and they are always fresh and appetizing. I've had pizza and cheese sticks from the Lafayette location and that was YUMMY! Mad Mushroom is a nice place near campus to get a quick meal and that's what I like about it. Plenty of seating too! I think the prices are a bit on the high side though. Food is pretty tasty nonetheless. Check it out for lunch or dinner if you're in the area! read more

Always have to go here when I'm at Purdue! I love the cheese sticks with cheese sauce. read more

Mad Mushroom Pizza - Couldn't take a pic before digging in - Pizza Near Me - West Lafayette, Indiana

Mad Mush is a Purdue staple and tradition. Two years after graduation and I'm still craving the cheesy garlicky goodness that is their cheesy bread. I stopped by Purdue this weekend to visit my brother and after walking past Mad Mush on our way to Chipotle, we knew we had to eat there instead. Their prices are good and you will always end up with leftovers. A 16" cheesy bread was $11.99 before tax. They deliver late into the night as all good businesses in a college town do. I think their food tastes even better after midnight. Definitely get some Mad Mush if you're passing through Lafayette/West Lafayette, or if you're a freshman, order some and cross it off your Purdue bucket list! Boiler up! read more

Mad Mushroom Pizza - Cheesy bread! So good! - Pizza Near Me - West Lafayette, Indiana

We didn't actually get to eat, the service was just so rude from the get go. Went in and was told to wait a few, server was on the phone - no problem! But then she slammed the phone down, stomped to the kitchen and came back to us and said it was going to be a 45 min wait for food. I told her thanks and we would go since they were so busy (and she obviously did not want us there). Whew! read more
