Landed myself into this town and this place after visiting the brewery. I must say the pizza here is darn good, I hear the specialty lies in the thin crust. Down to earth and humorous bartenders work here; Barb takes the cake, lol. She also made me a nice drink and sent us home with treats for my pups, which they loved. If ever back in town, I'm coming here. read more

Ticino Pizzeria - a pizza on a pan - Pizza Near Me - New Glarus, Wisconsin

Went here for dinner on Sunday night. We walked in and was warmly greeted by the bartender/chef Matt. We ended up sitting at the bar to continue our conversation and me watching Lethal Weapon 4 for the first time ever...i know, i know its a classic. ... Matt made our visit so worth it- we had the Swiss Mac pizza and garlic bread with the New Glarus cream cheese spread...i needed a kick to the pizza and Matt came back with every spice I can add possible- sirracha, hot sauce, jalapeños and crushed red... The sirracha was the perfect kick for the mac pizza. The garlic bread was butter toasted on a dinner roll but with the spread it was good. Will definitely stop by again for a convo with Matt and hopefully in the summer! read more

Ticino Pizzeria - a plate of spaghetti and meatballs - Pizza Near Me - New Glarus, Wisconsin

See all

Easily some of the best pizza I've ever had - better even than Piasan's in Madison. Boom! There I said it. Pizza is such a simple dish, and making a great pizza is all about getting the fundamentals right. Tincino's nails the fundamentals. A nicely seasoned thin crust that is crispy on the bottom and soft and doughy on top, a rich (but not overpowering) tomato sauce (margarita), topped with a nice layer of perfectly melted Wisconsin mozzarella. It's NY style pizza at its best with two small caveats. 1) The slices aren't big enough to qualify as NY style. 2) It's better than any NYC pizza I've ever eaten. If you're hungry and would like the full Tincino Pizzeria experience I would recommend getting the house salad and an order of bread sticks to start out the meal. This will give you a reason to try their homemade House dressing and garlic dipping sauce. You can even buy a bottle of the House dressing to take home. Again, two very simple dishes made great with quality ingredients and attention to detail. read more

I am a little miffed with this place. This was a second visit. First time Had spaghetti marinara it was ok. Next time had their pizza.Again it was ok. The problem came with them tacking on a two dollar a head service charge!! What? I'll never go back. Not even for drinks. I'm boycotting the whole place including the hotel. Love the bartender Barb, though.:) read more

seriously? i want to know what crack everyone is smoking because this pizza was easily top 5 worst i've ever had. the shame is that we went here expecting something amazing based on these reviews. first of all, there was ONE WAITRESS WORKING on a saturday afternoon. the place was packed, of course. we seated ourselves and it just got better from there. two beers and a small pizza took about 90 minutes to see through to the end. the lady's restroom was totally gross and did not have hot water... hmm, pretty sure that's a health code violation folks. there were flies everywhere and water and toilet paper on the ground. i heard the men's room was worse... but i don't have first hand knowledge of that one :-) we ordered a thin crust cheese pizza with tomatoes and sausage on half. the pizza came out burned. the crusts were blackened. there was so much grease floating on top of the pizza (a side effect of fake and overly processed and cheap cheese - not sure about the reviewer who claimed it was wisconsin mozarella - we asked the waitress who said it was a cheddar/mozz combo they buy pre-shredded in bulk) that we had to use about 90 napkins to just make it palatable. the sausage was tasteless and tiny and generic. the tomatoes looked like they came out of a can. the cutting of the pizza was hysterical - two ENORMOUS slices and the rest were tiny. when our lone waitress finally came back to the table to ask if we wanted a box, we said sure... and she wrapped the pizza up in paper. think: little caesers. by the time we got home, the paper was completely translucent from grease. we ended up tossing it out. one more fun fact... the waitress saw me twirling a pen while i was taking notes and she ended up telling us a little story about how the only people who did that when she was in high school were "the orientals or the engineers." yeah. just about as offensive as that pizza. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE the pizza here! My husband and I recently moved to New Glarus and the first thing we did was find out where to get good pizza. This is it! It's got a fairly thin crust and the cheese is delish! A decent variety of toppings to choose from as well. Definitely worth the visit! read more

We're from Chicago so perhaps our expectations were a little high, but this was one of the worst pizzas we've ever had. Blah and mild. Didn't care f or t his place at all. read more

Service was pleasant and rapid. Bit of a concern to learn that the person who owns this establishment owns the NG Hotel Restaurant as well and his wait staff are forced to pull "double-duty" between the two locations. Not sure of the efficacy of this modus operandi--this may have contributed to the service as reflected in the review I gave the other restaurant. Wings were well-fried, meaty, and tasty. Everyone loved the Hawaiian pizza. We also had a rather loaded chicken salad that was very fresh and tasty. Price was A-OK. If we ever come back through New Glarus we will probably stop here. read more

Had pizza from there the other night. I know I will sound like a brat but coming from Chicago, the pizza wasn't anything special. However it was very cheesy and gave me the pizza fix i needed. Only one server who was very nice and great service. read more

Growing up in New Glarus I have fond memories of sitting in this pizzeria eating pizza and bread sticks. Recently my husband and I were in town staying with my parents and we were hungry for some pizza. Those fond memories of childhood came back I told my husband how great it was going to be. We ordered a 12 inch thick crust with cheese and green peppers and an order of breadsticks with the cheese spread for take out. Get it home and take our first bites only to be disappointed. There was barely any sauce on the pizza, and barely any toppings leaving it tasting like nothing. You could see on the bottom where they attempted to scrape off the burnt/blackness. I also think they have changed their cheese spread over the years because that too barely had any flavor. Needless to say the memories didn't hold up and they aren't doing things the same way. Will be trying pizza elsewhere next time I am in town. read more

My boyfriend and I came in here on a Saturday afternoon. We sat at the bar and decided to just start our order with the bread sampler. It consisted of garlic bread, cheese garlic bread, and breadsticks. The garlic bread and cheese garlic bread had been made with english muffins instead of bread. There was nothing to indicate this was the case, and we wouldn't have ordered them had we known. The breadsticks were undercooked, so that was another loss. After that we just couldn't order more food. It was time to move on. Plus it was over 80 degrees outside and there was no air conditioning on in the restaurant. Instead they just had one door open. It was really hot and humid. read more

The pizza is okay - thin crust has a cracker consistency that many people seem to love. The atmosphere is unique - cozy and comfortable, but not hugely appealing. Maybe because it's so dark and needs updating a bit. Our kids love it because of the video games (all very old - Pac Man, etc) but that eats up at least $10 before we even eat. The juke box has the strangest assortment of music I've ever seen - heavy metal to Air Supply. There's better pizza and value to be found in New Glarus. read more

Stopped by the Pizzeria hoping to get something to eat. They were busy, but there were a couple waitresses working. We sat down at a table and waited 25-30 minutes hoping for service as the servers buzzed by. They did not stop by the table, they didn't even acknowledge us. They simply stared straight ahead any time we looked in their direction. It's not a very big place, so there's no way that this was anything but intentional. Eventually we gave up on waiting for service and left. It was an awkward experience. They were not friendly. Maybe it's different experience if you're a local, but as someone visiting New Glarus from out of town, avoid Ticino and go somewhere that wants your business. read more

Being a nice small family pizzeria, you could tell the pizza was made with heart and soul. Very tasty ingredients, perfectly done crust, not too much cheese, and when we look at our empty pizza box there is a minute amount of grease left over (basically only where the cheese touched the box.) The two servers were VERY nice and greeting and a tip of the hat to the cook! If you are looking for a greasy, chain "pizza hut," go elsewhere. If you want a great pizza at a great price, served in 20-25 minutes, go to Ticino's. Better than Piasan's?... Umm?... Comparable! :-) read more

HORRIBLE SERVICE, HORRIBLE FOOD! Went in there today (Father's Day) with a total of 5 people. Sat ourselves. Waited 10 minutes just for a waitress to come to the table for our drink order. I ordered a coke, when it came out it tasted flat so I told the waitress. Her reply "yeah, that's cuz it's diet, that's all we have on tap". Really?? Why don't you tell your customers that upon ordering then? I ordered a "Pizza Burger" with no bun, it came out as a burger patty, nothing on it with a side of mariana sauce. When we asked the waitress if it was supposed to come with cheese, she said "I don't know, I don't think so" I asked if I could get some put on it, she took it back (with a heavy sigh) and brought it back out with (and I kid you not) a sprinkle of about 3-4 shreds of mozzarella cheese in the middle of the burger. They could have just kept their cheese. Not to mention their burgers are cheap tasteless frozen patties. My husbands was cold inside. When we asked for silverware (since she brought out our food without offering anything to eat it with) she replied "how many?" Hmmm....let's see, there is 5 of us....so how about 5?! My husband and I didn't even eat our food, so when the waitress asked how everything was we told her how awful it was and that we didn't even want it, she said nothing, turned around and came back with our FULL PRICE check. So we asked for a manager who came out and said "you need to tell the chef because this can not keep happening" so we had to wait for the "chef" to come out and tell a 3rd person that we were unhappy. Needless to say, we only got ONE meal taken off of our check. I would not recommend this place to my enemy. Had there been an option for NO STARS I would have chosen that! read more
