this is hands down the best pizza spot i've ever been to! the pizza was cooked to a perfect crisp and our waitress "raine" was incredibly attractive and sweet! i would like to get to know her more. read more

It's overpriced as hell, but damnit, they make one hell of a thin crust pizza. Not too many toppings or cheese and the crust isn't terribly greasy. Plus, I can't think of anything more Central Illinois than a trip to Monical's. read more

This is usually our go to pizza super thin super good! I grew up on Monical's and love it the pizza that is. As far as the sides and everything else they are not as good as most around town. read more

Lukewarm coffee, the Italian beef sandwich smelt funny, I would say just OK. This one will not itch me to come back, rest is up to others' choice. read more

If you like super-thin pizza, Monical's is the best. The crust is crispy and crackling, with just the right amount of char, and the toppings are perfectly proportioned to not overwhelm the whole thing. The pizza is cut into small squares and rectangles, to make you feel better when you take another piece! Love it! read more

We ordered a stuffed pizza and a calzone for delivery. They turned up 40 minutes BEFORE the online delivery system said it would, which was strange. The bags seemed to have trapped the steam and caused the crusts to get soggy and hard. They probably sat around for awhile too because they were more wet than hot. The spinach and mushrooms in the calzone were obviously frozen or canned. The sauce and cheese were pretty good, but overall I was very disappointed with our experience. read more

One of my favorite places to get pizza when I'm up here in this horrible place called Illinois. Decent prices and great food with a decent atmosphere. Try their Family Special for a deal hard to beat. Plus they have a gorgeous redhead waitress. ~swoons~ read more

I used to love Monical's pizza but the last couple of times I've ordered I've noticed they have really changed. The crust seems different (cardboard like) and there were hardly any toppings, even cheese. We could see the crust (not sauce) through the sprinkles of cheese and the toppings were so far apart, there were several pieces that were without. Also on our salad they really skimped on the tomato & cheese toppings- basically gave us a box of lettuce. To top it all off, our soda was warm. Really disappointing- especially at $30 (1 pizza, 1 "salad", 2 liter soda). The positive thing I will say about Monical's is their staff- very friendly and fast delivery. read more

Ok please just don't go to this restaurant. I went there with my family tonight and after waiting for our "food" for at least 40 minutes, our dishes finally arrived, and they came with breadsticks. But the thing was that they were literally harder than the plates they came on. If it hurts my finger to flick a breadstick, then how do you expect me to eat it?!? So we politely mentioned it to our waitress, who then proceeded to glare at us and waddle away without a word. What did she expect me to say? "Mmmmm yummy old reheated breadsticks that break my teeth!" Inedible food + incredibly terrible service = horrible restaurant that nobody should ever have to go to. If you're thinking about going to this pathetic excuse for a restaurant, do yourself a big favor and go literally anywhere else. read more

Monical's Pizza about same as usual however the coupons are never the price you get when you check out. Pizza was a little burned on the edges. read more

It was early-late night when I placed my order for a large pizza for pickup. I walked in and as I was waiting, noticed a small pizza (that was overly cooked, ok, it was burnt for lack of a better description) that was being brought out to the dining area. I guess that was my warning sign for things to come. But I was from out of town and have a hungry pregnant wife in the car. The odds are against me so the pizza is coming with me one way or another. When we got to the hotel, I unwrapped the pizza to notice it was burned on the edges and the cheese was over-cooked all over. I have to clarify, this is not my first time ordering a Monical's pizza. This is also not my first time ordering a pizza from Monical's (well it was my first and last order from this particular location.) Why you ask? It was overly burned. The crust was black and the cheese was over-cooked. It was a long day so who am I to get on the horn and complain? It was not worth the hassle. To see a small pizza get pulled from the over and it looked the exact same way just confirms this is how they make their pizzas. It's akin to consuming burnt cardboard. That is not my idea of a good pizza. This is not the typical Monical's experience. Will I still eat from Monical's ? Oh yes, but will I go to this particular location? Probably not. read more

Delicious food! Our waitress was extremely friendly and helpful, we ate around the middle of the day and still felt like the environment was really welcoming! Definitely recommend read more

I have been eating at various Monicals pizza for most of my life and they alway promise and deliver two things: their product is mediocre and it is over priced. There was once a time that the Central Illinois area offered few options when it came to thin crust pizza but now its loaded with restaurants that not only make far superior pizza but do it at a reasonable price unlike Monicals. If you are looking for a thin crust pizza please do yourself a favor and save a ton of money by trying Esquire, Jupiters, Papa Dels thin, Garcias thin or Manzellas. If you want a thick crust pizza Papa Dels still makes a fantastic deep dish pie and surprisingly so does Garcias. read more

Worst experience ever. I've had really good pizza. I've had good pizza at Monica's and bragged to my husband (who moved here from Florida) about it. But tonight I was severely disappointed. Not only was the pizza cold, but it was overcooked. The crust was rubbery and there were little black flecks of what I assume were herbs all over it. We ordered for delivery but after waiting over an hour were told there were 20 deliveries before us. Which meant our pizza would have been an ice cube by the time it got to us. So I went to pick it up only to hear excuse after excuse from the lady behind the counter. Not even an apology. After a few bites, we were not able to eat another piece and it went in the trash. I will NEVER eat here again. read more

LOVE the pan pizza. Killer great sauce and very large crowd freindly staff.

Absolutely terrible. Waited an hour and a half, called, and were told our pizza was done but it wouldn't be delivered for another hour. We changed to carry out and went to pick it up. When we pulled in, the Monical's delivery car was down the street delivering another pizza. Why he could not take both at the same time, I don't know. We finally got to eat and the pizza was already cold enough to need reheated and the breadsticks so stale it took the strength of ten men to pull them apart. My dog even found them inedible. read more

Ok, I guess the key here is to avoid the thin crust pizza. My second Monical's experience was a complete turnaround when I tried their thicker-crust pizza. Yum! So glad someone talked me into giving them a second chance. read more

I love Monical's pizza, I really do. However, ordered 3 pizzas and a salad tonight for delivery and was told it would be one hour. At 1 hour and 50 minutes called to find out what the status was on our order. Was told by the person that they only had two drivers and they were behind. Explained it might have been nice if they had said that when the order was placed and given us the option to pick up instead. Same person said that we should have been told an hour and a half. Ok, had we been told that we would have just gone and picked it up. When she checked on our order it was just coming out of the oven nearly 2 hours later. We said we would come and get it. Talked to the manager when we got there and they very nicely took two of the pizzas off our bill. Got them home only to find out that they weren't cooked properly and the bottoms were completely doughy. So now, two and a half hours after we ordered we are trying to cook two of the three pizzas and we'll never get the crispy bottom that should have come out of the pizza oven. Very disappointing. read more

Just do not believe their "promise time." 1.5 hours later...no pizza. I can handle the truth, but not BS.

This place deserves no stars at all. We came from Florida to visit and my husband grew up eating here. We enter the restaurant and Moore at immediately however no one came to help us to take our order. It was very dirty in the restaurant and when we left because no one came to our table we told them why we were leaving and they did not seem to care. I would not recommend this restaurant at all read more

Listen folks, the location on Mattis is horrible. The only thing consistent there is the poor service and poor food. Bad attitudes and very poor customer service. I eat at other locations and Mattis Ave has the worst of both but I get poor food quality at other locations too. I think my Monical's days are over. read more

This is not my favorite Monical's. Too much Disney stuff. I prefer the one in Tolono or even on Kirby.
