14" Pepperoni an Mushroom
Doug G.

While visiting a friend in nearby Madison, we wanted pizza for an evening in and he recommended Sugar River, and it turned out to be a solid rec! Sugar River is located adjacent to the Costco in Verona and is a good sized spot with standard dining and a bar area with seating. We did an online order and in store pick-up, but the space was nicely laid out and clean from what we could see. Upon entry you are greeted by the pickup/order counter and host(ess) stand. Things can get a bit packed here, as this where folks are waiting to be sat, just walking in, exiting, picking up and ordering. We ordered online and pickup was about 20 minutes from order to collection. We got a 14" pepperoni and mushroom pan tossed pizza and a small cheese bread. Both were tasty, nothing wildly wrong or to the opposite, nothing mind blowing. Both were a bit too bready in places, but it wasn't all the sticks or slices, so I enjoyed some more than others. The pizza and cheese bread ran me around $24, which wasn't bad for the size and quality. Sugar River is a go to for local buddy, and after enjoying it, I can see why he keeps it on his list. Overall, solid pizza and cheese sticks, cool spot, easy ordering and pick up.

Great place to come by for a hot dinner on a snowy winter night. Wild State Cider Strawberry Punch: Very bubbly had more of a cider flavor than strawberry. I couldn't taste much of the fruity scents. Specialty Pizza - Amazon Deluxe: Basically a combo pizza. Crust was fluffy and lightly buttered. Pizza is more fluffy than thin. Shrimp Ravioli with Red Pepper Cream: There's more the pasta than shrimp, bit underwhelming on seafood stuffing. To me, the red pepper cream wasn't spicy but flavorful. Garden Side Salad: Red tomato was juicy and salad was light and refreshing. Cheese wasn't too powerful and it provided a nice savory flavor.

Calzone
Jenn C.

Our waiter was fantastic and funny too! Best spinach artichoke dip I've had in a really long time. The calzones are amazing and huge enough for lunch the next day! Crust is perfect and the sauce - you could just drink it lol! All of the pizzas were scrumptious too. Cute environment and clean.

Rio Grande BBQ Chicken*
Alex W.

Fair prices, well cooked pizzas, and intriguing specialties. I find it interesting that they replace tomato sauce with whatever the base of the specialty calls for. For example, we got the Rio Grande bbq chicken, and typically I'd see the bbq sauce drizzled on top, but here it's fully incorporated within. My friend said it made the pizza too sauce-y, and I would agree (though I like bbq sauce so I didn't mind as much). Overall though, this is a great place with friendly service and I would definitely come back again to try some of their other flavors!

Pepperoni pizza
Dori L.

I'm new to Madison and this place was recommended. What a quality feast. Fresh and delicious. This pizza even heated up next day very nicely. Staff was kind and attentive too. All around very satisfying.

Hand tossed olive & pepperoni pizza
Nathan B.

Stopped here for a late lunch and we were not disappointed. We ordered the typical garlic cheese bread along with a pepperoni and olive pizza. Both items were done to perfection and came out hot like they were just pulled from the oven. The service was amazing, attentive and she made some great suggestions from the menu. The atmosphere was family friendly with kids running around having a good time. I would recommend stopping here if you are in the Madison/Verona area.

Toppings for taco pizza
Tiffany T.

Wow! What a fantastic pizza place. Everything was sooooooo good. The service, the portions, the food! Not one single complaint. Nothing could have been better. It is worth driving 2 hours away for their pizza and salad. I had their gluten free pizza and will definitely get the taco again. The chicken bacon ranch salad was huge...and I only had a half portion. I repeat, what is shown is a HALF chicken bacon ranch salad. Go. You. Will. Not. Regret. It. Lastly, they have coke products!

Chicken strips kids meal
Sho R.

I dined in on a weekend for lunch. There was a good number of people, but still I got a seat right away. The pizzas were very innovative. Asian chicken pizza was my favorite. It had nice flavor punch. The elote pizza was another excellent pizza. Kids chicken strips was good.

Amazon Deluxe* + pineapple
Christina L.

I tried this restaurant for the first time and it is fairly priced! The pizzas were delicious and had plenty of toppings. I got the Amazon Deluxe and I added pineapples. Quick service and good pizza. I would recommend!

Pizza and Pauliner Pilsner from Germany
Erik R.

Probably one of the best pizzas in Dane County. Try the Amazon pizza if you like meat and veggies, you won't be disappointed. Excellent beer list mainly with local breweries on tap and Paulaner Pilsner from Germany which goes great with the pizzas !

Rio Grande BBQ Chicken* The Tropics*

We ate dinner at Sugar River Pizza on a Friday and it was great! They have a huge menu with a lot of different options. We got a 14in pizza- half Rio Grande BBQ Chicken and half The Tropics. The restaurant was busy but we didn't have to wait too long for our food. Service was great and our meal was very affordable! We will be back! *I highly recommend a reservation, we tired to go the Friday before and it was an hour wait. But we returned the next Friday with a reservation made earlier in the day and we were sat right away!

Pizza furthest back was Miss Figgy!

I was downright…read moregiddy eating this pastrami sandwich (which was beautiful, too, and sadly I did not snap a picture because I was too excited to eat it! It did not disappoint). Love this no-frills deli with the focus on what's important- amazing bread in perfectly balanced sandwich (and yes, for me that means not a TON of meat but it was satisfying and not meat-heavy. I thought the ratio of bread/cheese/meat was just right). Gino's also has a lot of pasta salad options (I've heard good things about both the Cajun chicken pasta salad and the pesto chicken salad but literally just made two pasta salads for this weekend so I'll have to try those next time). They also have ingredients for pizza in the fridge and pre-made lasagnas, pizzas, and desserts (Tiramisu!!!). It also sounds like they sometimes sell cannoli fresh, made-to-order. Great hidden gem, definitely check it out. I will say, I also got the Italian sub and I was less impressed with the meat/bread/cheese ratio (not enough meat, too much cheese) but that pestrami was chef's kiss. Also we saw a worker on break when we arrived and he was eating the meatball sub-looked incredible but we didn't try it this time (we were eating on the go and that can be tricky with meatballs!)

My son said his meatball sub was a 5. The bread was soggy. My husband and I got the hot Italian…read morebeef and it was also probably a 5. Not much flavor and the meat was meh. The au jus was clear and looked like chicken stock.

I had winning tickets from one of the machines inside the restaurant, but I am not from this area and was unfamiliar with their redemption process. When I handed her the tickets, she tried to throw them in the trash without asking me or explaining anything. I stopped her and told her they were winning tickets and that I wanted to redeem them. Instead of helping me, her attitude became rude and disrespectful. I asked for my tickets back because I no longer wanted her assistance. She then told me to step away from the bar, said I was not welcome in the restaurant, and threatened to call the police. I asked to speak with the manager so I could explain what had happened, but instead of allowing me to explain, I was repeatedly told to leave while the bartender continued threatening to call the police. I expected to be treated with courtesy and respect, especially since this was simply a misunderstanding that could have been been resolved with a polite explanation. Unfortunately, this was one of the worst customer service experiences I have ever had, and I will not be returning.

Inn stay: 5. Event experience: 3…read more We received a call from Debbie the day of check-in letting us know our room was ready early, if we wished to check in ahead of time. Upon arrival, it was so helpful to have our own assigned parking spot. As soon as we entered the lobby, Debbie was a delight and greeted me by name; she escorted us to our suite and showed us the amenities and answered any questions we had. The room was clean and spacious, and the grounds along the Sugar River were lovely. We were immensely pleased with our stay. The Seafood Soirée event felt hodge-podge. VIPs didn't get any sort of band to tip off the bartenders that our drinks were free for the first hour; two separate times I heard staff in other areas talking about workers getting placed behind the bar without being trained (one resulted in a coordinator having to comp a bottle of wine as the bar staff was misinformed). So the lines were long, the chairs should have been pulled away from the bar as they got in the way and people tried to sit in them. Trying to meet Andrew Zimmern as a person with manners was difficult as staff didn't even attempt to keep order and people kept budging in without waiting. The food served during the VIP hour was underwhelming. Then we get to 4 pm and walk out to the stations to find the food wasn't ready. Cue milling about. Then the two chef celebrities didn't even speak on time. We eventually left early and went back to our room. So regarding coordinating and hosting an event, they really missed the mark. We would definitely stay at the Inn again, and in fact are already talking about returning. But would we spend a few hundred dollars to attend an event there again? No.
