4.5 stars. Date of visit: July 2026…read more We stayed in Madison 3 nights and ate at Lucille two of those nights. One night we sat downstairs and one night upstairs. Central downtown location near our hotel and the Capitol. The service was friendly and the food was good. Outdoor seating available in the summer. The only complaint was the chairs were uncomfortable! (The second visit we had a booth, which was more comfy!) See photos attached. Helpful?

The crust was thick and crispy, with plenty of sauce and flavor. We ordered a 14" pizza for the two of us and still had half left over, which I was actually happy about because we got to enjoy it again later! The wood-fired pizza at the table next to us looked even better, though, so I'll definitely be trying that next time. Our server was amazing and very knowledgeable about the menu and specials, which made the experience even better. There are also plenty of seating options, including outdoor, bar, and indoor seating. Overall, we had a great first experience at Lucille's and are already excited to come back and try the wood-fired pizza!

I ordered the medium Umami Bomby pizza and it was delicious! The crust was super crispy, the cheese super melty, and topped with a generous amount of toppings. I could only eat a little over half of it, but if you have a big appetite this could be for one person. If you want some good Detroit style pizza, definitely come here!

Super easy pickup. We ordered the tik tik boom and the not on the first date pizzas, unsliced so that the toppings stayed on better. It's nice that they make this recommendation when ordering. It's a good Detoit style, which we likened to a focaccia with toppings and a nice crust of cheese around the sides. The tik tik boom was our favorite, as the toppings paired well together and it's a unique flavor. The not on the first date had my favorite sauce of the two as even though it didn't say it, there seemed to be a little lime in the crema. Overall, would recommend!

Ok Madison, I see you. Was looking up places to check out on a recent stop to Madison, and came…read moreupon this place. Who doesn't love a good slice? AMBIANCE - situated on one of the main drags of downtown, this place definitely had a college staple vibe to it, though we did see a number of families in here while we were dining. Adequate seating and fairly clean, I can see this place getting packed during the school year. SERVICE - people working the counter were very friendly, and made a few recommendations on which slices we should try. While we did stray from some of their recommendations, they got our order out hot and fast. MENU - I love pizza joints like this - sell by slice with a number of both classic and creative takes on pizza. They also have rotating special slices. I think we just missed their July 4th specials, but they had plenty of other options to choose from. FOOD - we ended up going with a macaroni and cheese slice, as well as a bbq chicken ranch pizza. considering my kids had just eaten a meal, you would have never known as they finished the majority of both slices. While the bbq chicken was good, the star was the mac and cheese pizza. My one son declared this the best thing he had in Madison ("that's high praise"). OVERALL - definitely worth a stop if you got a pizza hankering. $4-6 bucks a slice? make sure to try a few and see which one you like best. CELEBRITY RATING - Michael Cera

I had never eaten at this location but we were downtown for a Historic Trust walking tour and…read moreneeded a quick early dinner. As with their Garver location there were about a dozen pies to choose from - most of them are a bit too weird for my taste so I just stuck with a classic like pepperoni and mushroom. Though reheated the large slices were very tasty. $5-$6 a slice. They also have salads and some other snack items. Unlike at Garver they do not have beer - makes sense given the State Street location - I am sure they do this to reduce their headaches. A good slice at a good price.

When you walk in, you place your order at the counter, and bring an order number to your table. I'm on the search for the best pizza in Madison, and Novanta made it pretty high on my list. The ingredients tasted fresh, and the flavors were simple but delicious, like most Neapolitan pizzas. I'm a huge fan of pizzas baked in stone ovens, and I was not disappointed by Novanta's ovens, which were imported from Italy. The staff was very friendly! They greeted us warmly and made sure we had everything we needed when the pizzas were served. I will definitely be back soon!

I was starving after touching down at the airport since they don't feed lunch anymore for domestic…read moreflights so I came looking for some good food. With 2 Wood fire pizza ovens and an open kitchen concept, this place was it for me. Pizza: personal size, got the Salsiccia ($13) which was delicious. Crust was amazing, thin but scrumptious. Service: it was empty when I went at 2 and you order and pay first even if dining in. A lady (I believe her name was Lugenia?) was manning the front. Had to ask for napkins and asked for a cup of water. Got the napkins and an empty cup, water never showed up, no explanation. An elderly white couple showed up afterwards and they got the whole speech, come to find out (by eavesdropping) that there's a water fountain in the back. Well now I'm glad I tipped for no service at all. As I was leaving, a young lad was changing shifts with her and he seemed very friendly and thanked me for coming in. So maybe I just got unlucky with the service because he seemed a lot chipper. Parking: in the back, make a right at the light after passing the bagels shop. TLDR: come for the great pizza, but service could probably be a hit or miss. Takeout pizza would be amazing here.

We started eating it within minutes, outside, but it was just a mess. The square slices are a bit weird but not the end of the world. The soggy bottom was a real problem though. It wasn't like the pizza had been sitting steaming for half an hour, it was less than 5 min from when someone handed us the box. I also wasn't particularly impressed with the double crust/sauce - which I wanted because the menu says thin crust and I like pizza with enough chewy crust to feel like I'm actually eating something. The part underneath the toppings felt like standard crust though, while the thick part was heftier (although strangely puffed because it's 2 layers). The toppings themselves were just ok, not all that flavorful. I'm not sure what went wrong with the crust since even in the restaurant it would come out on a pan. Maybe their double crust just doesn't work?
