Lucille

Our first meal when visiting Wisconsin and it did not disappoint! The cheese pull on the pizza was on point. Loved that there were clearly marked vegetarian options. The ambiance was beautiful and felt very inclusive. All of the staff we interacted with were very nice and helpful, especially our bartender. She was the best and gave us fun recommendations on things to do while in Madison.

After hearing so many great things about Lucille, we were very excited for our first visit. The restaurant has great atmosphere. It was busy on a Saturday afternoon, but we were seated right away. We tried the vegetarian Umami Pie pizza, but unfortunately it wasn't for us; we didn't like the flavor. We also ordered the small size of the nachos as a starter, and the portion was huge! While nachos were decent, they weren't anything very special. Overall while we liked the vibe of the restaurant, the food itself didn't quite live up to our expectations.

Great service - and the space is so well utilized. They have three floors of seating. I loved the cheese curds. Some of the best I’ve had. Plus, the pizza was great. I built my own, but the toppings were plentiful. (The sausage is really good.) I simply had to stop because I was stuffed, but I didn’t want to. It tasted that good.

I've wanted to try the pizza here for a while, and since I was in the area, it was a perfect chance, too! I started out with the cheese curds and skipped the marinara to use the ranch. It was phenomenal. For pizza, we got a classic pepperoni, and omg, it was to die for. Perfect amounts of everything. I’m not a pizza and ranch girl, but their ranch was so good on the pizza that I had to indulge. It was so good. Has a great view of the capital too!

Beautiful sunny day in Madison with a group of friends we decided to have pizza at Lucille . There was no wait time as we arrived earlier than the lunch crowd rush and we were seated upstairs . Our server greeted us and explained the menu and the way dishes are brought out as they are prepared . She was very good at explaining how things worked . We all got pizzas and it was nice to see they offered a gluten free version of their pizza as well as one of our friends has gf preference. Drink menu was okay . I was looking for a classic sangria to balance out the pizza but they only offered a white version with peach . It was ok but not something I would order again too sweet . The queen pizza is their version of a classic margarita and the addition of prosciutto is a must . Highly recommend this add ! Very nice pizza . It does get loud upstairs . Especially as more people arrive the acoustics change and noise echoes . We were done by the time it got too loud for me. This is a downtown centrally located restaurant so street parking will be hard . Propose and best idea is to use one of the many paid parking garages . Works good .

i ordered their bodega bowl with the vegan chorizo minus crema. it was suuuper good and filling. the plantains were perfectly cooked, awesome size of guacamole and salsa. i love when food has lots of flavor but not lots of grease. felt fueled leaving, and i still had enough for dinner. there were a few other vegan options too. i do wish the black bean empanada was vegan, it comes with cheese and i’m not sure if it has the option of not. if you order drinks, those were also phenomenal. i had a pineapple gin martini, or a few… 😂 spectacular. bartender was very kind. girl that greeted you at the door was kind. the ambiance in here is very soft and open. it’s a comforting establishment. i will come back for sure! because i’m pretty sure they have vegan pizza 🤩

I heard they had all-beef pepperoni (H), which brought me in—and it did not disappoint. We didn’t have a reservation for two, so we ended up sitting at the bar, which worked out great. Coincidentally, there was a live band playing that night, and the vibe was awesome. The pizza was seriously delicious, and the staff was super friendly and attentive. It was a great experience all around—I highly recommend it!

Forgot to take photos of everything. Overall good place, staff is friendly. Area is clean Do not recommend guacamole, it's basically avocado and chips. No flavor The pizza was great, empanadas and shrimp ceviche is a must!

I go from time on time to madison, and I loved this place for brunch, they accepted a party of 10 people and a baby with no issues. They satvus on the second level, the pizzas might take between 15 to 20 mins, however, those pizza are wood fire cooked, it is not pricey and also they have good selections, still you can make your own pizza if you want to. I would suggest try "The queen", loved the crust and the toppings, higly reccommended :)

The waitress was lovely and attentive. However, our pizza had to be remade after we asked about it several times. My pizza didn't arrive until about 40 minutes later, and when it did, it had a hair in it. They initially offered a 50% discount, and after mentioning the hair, the manager agreed to remove it from the bill. What surprised me the most was that the manager never came over to apologize or acknowledge the situation. For a restaurant of this type, that level of service is disappointing. Nothing special overall, and it seems like management doesn't really care. We were visiting for a football game and expected a better experience. Here photo of the pizza with a hair. Btw- lavender lemonade was really good.

This is the second time I've been to Lucille, the last time was many years ago and the experience wasn't great. What a difference this time, my friend and I were looking for something close to our hotel and kind of wanted pizza so we gave it a try. On a busy Friday, we didn't have to wait for a table and had the choice of the patio or inside, we chose inside. We had a nice booth upstairs. I love the atmosphere, it's an old building and they have it open and industrial. Unlike last time, our service was great, but not intrusive, we had our order taken quickly, and our food was delivered quickly but she didn't hover, it would have been great to get more water but we survived. The drink menu is far better than most restaurants with some great cocktail options, you almost never see a French 75 on the menu. But having the drinks in the menu isn't enough, you have to execute them as well. My friend had a Hugo spritz and she is picky having had the in Italy, she said this was the best one she's had in the states, as good as the ones in Italy. We had cheese curds as an app and the serving size was perfect, they were breaded and served with a red sauce and ranch and everything was flavorful. Our pizza came out just after we finished the curds and it was so good. My friend had one of the specialty pizzas while I built my own. Both were great, the wood fire oven gives the edges some nice crispy spots but there are also chewy pieces. There was just the right amount of sauce and toppings and they didn't overdo the mushrooms which can cause the top to get watery. Overall it was a great experience and I will definitely go back next time I'm in Madison, definitely recommend.

I have been here many times. I came for a Christmas party my work held that was awesome as it was in their basement which use to be a bank value. We had the most delicious themed holiday drinks and I was stuffed with all of the delicious pizzas and appetizers. Another time I was here for a food tour and we snacked on a variety of appetizers and cocktails. I love that the cocktails always taste delicious and there are constantly new themed cocktails to go with the season. The flourless fudge brownies and steel pan chocolate chip cookies are to die for and will leave you wanting more.

Great stop before a concert at Camp Randall a few weeks ago. We split a Caesar and The Queen. Loved the spicy Caesar with the chips on top! And the Queen was simple and delicious. The Mexican fusion with pizza is such a fun restaurant concept. Service was great especially since it was a really busy day. Make a reservation if you can. We sat on the 2nd floor which was quieter than the 1st floor. But the first floor has a large bar people were congregating at. Can't wait to go back!

My friends and I had such a great time at Lucille! Our server was so fun and helpful. We ordered a couple cocktails and 3 different pizzas. They had a special pizza when we went called the Graduate that was really delicious. I will be back! Thanks :)

Super yummy wood fired pizza and very family friendly. They gave pizza dough to entertain our little one like play doh. Love that! Wish every NY pizzeria did that :)

This is an easy favorite for me and my people! outstanding food, efficient and kind staff, fantastic vibes throughout. Of the temperature allows I love sitting by the open doors on the main floor. ordered: cheese curds she's a-maize-ing pizza:

Great interior, a lot of seatings and large windows! Loved our server, he was kind and attentive but not overly so. Here's my food rundown: - Cheese curds (5/5): great seasoning, crisp outside, delicious ranch, no notes - Nachos (4.5/5): flavor was great, we got it with the pork shoulder and we actually ordered the 1lb and received the 3 lb version ??? def not complaining though haha. my only note is that the dispersion of toppings was a bit uneven (there was a TON of pickled onion on one side and rather sparse on the other) - Weekender pizza (3/5): the flavor was great !! all the toppings meshed together and the sausage was very flavorful; where it gets not so good is the construction-- the crust was perfectly crispy and amazing but the inner dough was undercooked and tasted a bit raw. also, the toppings were heavvyyy, i definitely appreciate the generosity but there was so much on top of the pizza it was sliding off (which i also suspect is a reason for the middle being underdone) This is a side note but my N/A margarita was missing its rim-- not a big deal but was kinda sad abt it :') Overall would totally come here again and give it another try! might've just been an off day with the pizza but the food was pretty tasty and the vibes were good

Love this place!! They serve wood-fired pizzas need I say more? The pizzas served here are absolutely delicious and don't let their size full you...their pizza is loaded with lots of fresh toppings! The interior of this place is very cozy and very chic, making it a great place to hang out in a group and take some great photos especially over the holidays. This place is especially well decorated during December in which they host Miracle on King Street. It is absolutely beautiful inside! There is an upstairs area and a downstairs lounge area (perfect for company dinners/parties). During Miracle on King Street the drink menu changes to suit the holidays. The drinks here are both delicious and strong. They also sell vintage style Christmas cups to which I couldn't resist and bought a dinosaur cup. Don't be ashamed to dress in holiday sweaters when visiting in December. Make reservations in advance, the bar area fills up quickly.

Great way to spend summer night. Ambiance is lively and fun, great dinner with my daughter. Shared a salad and Mediterranean steel pan pizza.

I've wanted to try the pizza here for a while, and since I was in the area, it was a perfect chance, too! I started out with the cheese curds and skipped the marinara to use the ranch. It was phenomenal. For pizza, we got a classic pepperoni, and omg, it was to die for. Perfect amounts of everything. I'm not a pizza and ranch girl, but their ranch was so good on the pizza that I had to indulge. It was so good. Has a great view of the capital too!

Super cute space. Visited Lucille during their Miracle on King St pop up. (Ends 12/24/24). Super fun holiday themed drinks due to the pop up and an explosion of holiday decor. Their menu has a good selection with a variety of salads, pizza, and shareables. Staff was very friendly and they kept us in the loop for example that we were going to have a switch in servers etc. They do note this in their reservations page but it is a two level space. Quite the stairs to go to level two so make sure if anyone in your group needs accessible seating or cannot do stairs well that you request seating on level one.

It's been a long time since my 1st and previous visit. I'm glad I came back. I think I prefer the wood fired pizza to the Detroit style pizza. Both were good, but the Detroit style pizza lays a little heavy on one's chest. The cocktails were well crafted and the esthetics of this restaurant are really nice.

Loved the atmosphere here! Open floor plan & friendly service with excellent food! Our group of 4 was accommodated easily! We didn't have a reservation, but sat at the bar within 15mins of arriving (full menu). The drinks were fab and priced fairly for being in the city. Crafted with care! The pizzas are two different types of crusts so read carefully! We ordered one of each and enjoyed the leftovers later that night!

Located on the Capitol Square area of downtown Madison Wisconsin, Lucille serves up a really good version of Detroit style pizza We first visited Lucille shortly after it opened, and at the beginning of the Detroit style pizza craze a while back. On this stop, we dropped in for Saturday lunch after visiting the Saturday farmer's market. We had a furry friend with the four of us, so needed a restaurant that had a shaded, outdoor patio that allowed dogs, which Lucille does. We got on the waitlist, quoted a 20 minute wait, and was seated before then. Service was fine throughout. It's a smaller menu, with two types of pizza available: wood-fired (Neopolitan) and steel-pan (Detroit). Both only come in one size, with the steel-pan ($33) having 8 pieces (enough to feed 3-4). We didn't like any of the specials, so just went with Build-your-own: ordered pepperoni and sausage (replaced by bacon...not sure what happened there). The pizza uses Mozzarella instead of Wisconsin Brick, and the toppings were quality. Delicious pizza, and easy to bring back to the hotel. An order of chips and salsa ($6) had good, well made salsa though the chips were a bit stale (probably because of the humid air). Two white rascals were good (had many of those in california) for $7. The fat orange cat kittens draft was good, but costly at $12 because of sourcing costs. Paying was easy directly at the table using Toast.

Great location, atmosphere, and pizza. We started with the nachos and guacamole. Portions were huge!! I loved that the guac came with Jicama and celery, I wish it was a little spicier. Nachos had the perfect ratio of toppings/cheese. They also were very big, and we ordered small. Tried the weekly special pizza and deep dish. I love that Lucille always has unique pizza options. If you don't want pizza, there are other entrees, like rice bowls. I tried the Bodega bowl and was really surprised - since they're known for their pizza. Service and atmosphere were great! We sat upstairs and it was so fun, very large open space with an industrial chic vibe. I will say we ordered everything at once, but the guac and bowl came out first, then a pizza, then nachos, and the final pizza. I wish the timing could have been a little better. Otherwise service was very fast!

Ordered the steel pan pizza and prepared to wait the advertised 30 minutes. No problem ~ I'm with cool people! Almost an hour later the waitress reports that my pizza has been delivered to another table. Would I like to order something else? Lucille serves food as it is ready, so all in my party already had their food and were eating~ so... I ordered the guacamole. Heavy onion flavor ~ sort of overwhelming. This place may be great ~ but that wasn't my experience. At two hours in, the waitress says, "oh! It looks like they did make that pizza ~ do you want it?" Nope. They did comp the guacamole. And again, I hope your experience is different. I won't return, and I won't recommend.

I arrived early to meet hubby at the Yelp event, and parked at the bar to warm up after walking from campus. The "Miracle on King" decor is super fun. The quantity of ornaments and lights was huge. The seasonal collection of cocktail glasses in use is amazing. The sole bartender was super busy, and I got to watch him make some fairly complex drinks. He acknowledged me and apologized for the wait. It really wasn't that long... The drink, a cranberry daiquiri, was excellent. Thank you for the friendly service, the wonderful cocktail, and the entertainment of your cocktail making.

I have tried several pizzas, the Al Pastor is my favorite, it is the bomb! The atmosphere is vibrant, there is a bar center stage, so ask to be seated upstairs if you want it a little quieter. The building alone is worth the trip, but the food seals the deal. The nachos are excellent. Service is a bit slow and one server has an attitude, but still a great experience.

Recently went to Lucille's with my UW mock trial team to have a little reunion and was pleasantly suprised. I am not a huge fan of pizza so, I was a little upset with myself when I did not check the menu beforehand. But, nevertheless I thought I would try a classic slice of pizza and then the gyro one. The gyro one was pretty dang good! The vegetables went really well with the seasoned meat that they used. The sauce was also impeccable. Other than the gyro pizza, the classic slice and a couple of the others I tried (as we just ordered a few for the table) were pretty okay. There was also a really scenic view of the capitol at night when I went.

Pizza was great. Margarita with salt had just a smudge of salt on one side. Nachos need much more cheese. Surprising that a place in Wisconsin would short you on cheese!

Went here a while back for dinner, and it was mediocre food, but I loved the vibe inside. Nothing too special. However, we came back on a Sunday afternoon to check out the patio and had a great experience. The bartender was very friendly and let us try out samples of their craft beer. Sitting outside, we got a view of the capital, as well as a big city feel, which we loved. Looking forward to coming back.

This is my third time coming here and I built my own wood fired pizza with arugula, green olives, sausage, and prosciutto as my toppings. I never noticed this before but this time the pizza was incredibly salty to the point where I couldn't eat as much as I wanted to. It might've been because of the toppings I chose so beware when choosing your toppings! Previous times I've come here it was delicious though so maybe I'll need to go back to my original orders‍! I also ordered cheese curds which were great but also noticeably salty. We sat at the bar and service was decent but slightly lacking (understandable though because it was VERY busy). I love the interior of the restaurant. It is so cozy and they have all their Christmas lights and decorations up right now so it definitely got me in the Christmas spirit!

Visited Lucille for "Date Night " with a friend. when scheduling the reservation asked for the table with a video of the capitol as I wanted my friend to have a super awesome view to lift her spirits. We were sat next to it while the table there kept mentioning what a spectacular view and how they hadn't requested it. ‍ Live music was playing. We had a great night. Our service was pretty great. The food was tasty. The pizza and strawberry blueberry crisp cooked perfectly. I would recommend on a friends night or date night with partner.

The atmosphere and ambiance invited us inside, but the food left us a little disappointed. We tried the guacamole and cheese curds to start, both were good and especially liked the carrots with the guacamole. After this, things went downhill with an unusual spicy Caesar salad that included a ton of jalapeños and birria tacos that were simply baked and not very flavorful.

I went to Lucille for dinner and the vibe was high! I love the upstairs dining area. I ordered a build your own pizza and it was super tasty! I want to shoutout Lucille for having vegan cheese, as plant based options in Madison are slim. I also had the chips and guac and it was very tasty and fresh. The margarita was excellent as well. Overall, I recommend and it is great that they have options for dietary restrictions!

Absolutely the best (cheap) date night deal in Madison is at Lucille's on Wednesday nights. $50 per couple gets you a bottle of wine (red or white) , app, pizza and a dessert. You can upsize the pizza for a few $$ if you want to have extra. Limited menu only which I posted. Everything we had was delicious and service was fantastic too! Will return and recommend

What an adorable, warm and cozy bar, especially on a cold early winter night. I loved the place. The Christmas decorations inside look as if they took days to put together. A really festive, comfortable atmosphere. Their wood fired pizza was amazing. Very easy to tell they put a lot into making it as well, starting with an in-house wood-burning brick pizza oven next to the bar.

We went on a Wednesday date night. The band was so loud you couldn't talk, the service was incredibly uneven. Little things like giving you a new plate when you go from salad to pizza didn't happen. The food was good, which is the only redeeming value.

Very strong pizza, cocktail and beer spot. Came on July 4th and there was a few minute wait around 5:30pm. Service was great - proactively checking on us when it started to rain. The Queen - 4.5/5. Added arugula, providing a nice touch to a strong pizza. Tangy sauce, lots of cheese, thin crust, well executed. 16" is a good size for 2 people. Only criticism is slightly greasy. Empanada - 3/5. Black bean and plantain was solid and well fried but I don't need to get it again. Drinks - 4.5/5. Got a painkiller mocktail and really enjoyed the balance and tropical vibes. My wife got a IPA, picking from a solid draft list.

I wasn't expecting much given 1) it's Pizza in Wisconsin, and 2) I've been told the food is good without being great. On the latter, I was fine with that because it looked like a fun place and a great vibe, and a 4.0 yelp score to me generally says "pretty solid". So, the food was actually terrible. I am glad I didn't venture to try anything not pizza, but I was like really wishing I hit up Pizza Hut or a little neighborhood joint called Dahmeenos. I really wouldn't recommend eating here because the pizza was some of the worst I've had. On the flip side, the bar/restaurant has a great industrial vibe & decor to it. Fun music and such. Service was fine. If I was in Madison I would swing by for some drinks but would not consider food.

Lucille was overall a good experience. The food was excellent, with cheese curds definitely being a must in the appetizers. We also got guacamole which was a good choice as well, but was a bit overpriced. In the main course, my friend and I shared a 14' build your own wood fired pizza with pepperoni, sausage, and hot honey. The pizza was amazing, and I would definitely recommend getting hot honey on almost any pizza. My team also got the wakey wakey eggs and bakey pizza with hot honey, which they also enjoyed. The atmosphere was also nice, and there was plenty of seating area both downstairs and upstairs. The only irritating part of the experience was customer service. Food did take quite long to come out, and while it was understandable due to the brunch/lunch rush, it was a bit excessive.

Great Detroit style pizza, the Standard is the best just tomato sauce, mozzarella & parmesan baked to perfection. Friendly staff, very cool place (use to be a bank), view is the capital and nice big booths the acoustics make it hard to hear if you have a large group. Parking ramps nearby otherwise of walking isn't an issue you can usually find street parking a few blocks away.

Lucille is probably my favorite spot to eat in Madison. I always get the Umami pie and the cheese curds because they're just too good to risk trying something else (although I'm sure the rest of their menu also hits). I also love their painkiller cocktail! Outside seating in the summer is immaculate, but the inside is vibey too.

It took so long for our food to come out and we ordered a pizza at a pizza place. 40 minutes after we were seated, the pizza came out. The food was okay but for how long it took us to get it, it lost its appeal. My husband's food came out right away. He tried to wait for mine but I convinced him to eat. He finished before mine came out.

I went to Lucillle for a late lunch and had to wait a couple minutes for the hostess to show us to our table. The seating outside added a great ambiance for the summer. The firewood pizza was extremely filling with fresh ingredients, the sweet chili peppers were balanced well with a slightly bitter taste from the charred broccoli rabe. The guac bowl also had a serving size bigger and deeper than I'd thought. My only suggestion would be having the homemade tortilla chips be more warm or salted because it didn't taste extremely fresh.

The vault was... underwhelming but it's truly just... the basement with a vault door. I mean it's cozy but super hyped up haha. The outdoor seating is bomb in the summer. The upstairs is fun too. Last time I went I went for their Wednesday night date night deal for $50. You get an app, a pizza, bottle of wine and dessert to share! We got: Guac - great mix of veggies and chips and the guac was more thick than other guava I've ever had LOL like a paste She's A-Maizing pizza - cheese was really good Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp - solid end to the meal, hard to get it down after so much yummy food! Vibes were pretty spectacular. When we went they had live Latin jazz. Was hard to not shake my a&8 as I ate my pizza. We sat at the bar to avoid the wait (came at like 7pm). It got pretty dang busy tho so it was tough to flag down the bartender that was serving us at times.

Food is delicious (especially the nachos) and the drinks are so good! We ate at the bar and the service was top notch. Love this place!

Visiting town. Was craving pizza. Ordered the umami (sp?) and it was fantastic. The staff at the front desk were super helpful in responding to me picking it up. While I briefly waited, I thoroughly enjoyed the ambiance of the space. Will definitely come back!

I came here about two years ago for my birthday, which is in early December with some family and I had a blast. I loved the festive Christmas atmosphere and the specialty drinks were absolutely delicious! They even came in these cute Santa mugs. It was crowded, but the service was good and we were served our drinks promptly. Unfortunately, it was a Saturday night and there was nowhere to sit, so I definitely would like to come back a bit earlier where I can check out the food and really soak in the ambience.

I wanted to give this place a 5 star rating so bad! However, there were a few things that just didn't hit for me. Since moving to Madison this past year, I've had Lucille on my bucket list of places to try. The location is prime time with awesome views of the capital building depending on where you're seated. To start, we had reservations and showed up a bit early so we decided to check out their underground cocktail lounge. This was surprisingly smaller than expected. I loved the concept but it was kind of ruined with the blaring hip hop music playing over the speaker. Now let's talk food. I think our eyes were bigger than our stomachs because we came in hot trying to order three empanadas, cheese curds, and a whole pizza for 2 people. Our waitress was super kind and let us know that the empanadas were on the bigger side so we opted for two instead. I'm not gonna lie the empanadas and curds came out extremely greasy. Everything was deep fried and obviously didn't get a much needed dry off after sitting in the oil. We loved the marinara that the curds came with. Out of the beef and chipotle chicken empanadas, we loved the chipotle chicken option! The empanada dipping sauce complimented that flavor nicely! The star of the show was our was our firewood pizza! We ordered The Queen style with added prosciutto and arugula. This was amazing! If you're looking for a quality pizza place and a little fine dining experience then definitely don't pass up Lucille. We will be returning to try some of their other firewood pizza options!

I took out dinner from here on a Friday evening. Interior looked spacious and roomy. I went for a Luci's Harvest pizza and an Umami Pizza. Luci's Harvest is a thick pizza and takes 20 - 25 minutes to bake. It was also my favorite among the 2. Umami pie had a slight burnt veggie taste. For Yelp check in I got a free steel pan chocolate chip cookie. That was my absolute favorite here. The cookie was big, but I finished it in a single sitting. As I was taking out, I requested the ice cream removed from the dessert.

First the good. I came with a big party (16 people). We had to split up into two groups, but the restaurant was very accommodating and put us next to each other. The restaurant has very nice ambience and atmosphere. Service was good and all the staff were very friendly. The night we were there they also had live music so that was cool. As for the food, I thought it was pretty average. As someone who was coming from New York, my standards for pizza are going to be high. We ordered The Queen, Weekender, 6 Mile Classic, and Mediterranean. Out of those, my favorite was The Queen. So that's the one I would recommend. We also ordered a bunch of appetizers - guacamole, grilled shrimp skewers, burrata salad, beet salad, empanadas, and cheese curds. Again, none of those stood out to me.

We visited at 5pm on a Friday and the place was already packed! We were able to get a seat right away outside for two, but I'd recommend getting a reservation if possible. The drinks were fun, I tried one of the specials and it was delish. We got the not your mother's spaghetti Detroit style pizza and it was so good! It's definitely worth it to check out.

I love going to Lucille! The sangria is delicious and I always try to sit on the patio (great for a summer night). Their date night special is such a good deal, just try to get reservations a few weeks in advance! I have celiac and Lucille does an amazing job at being transparent about that and they are so accommodating.

I'm all about service, and that was wonderful. The food was mediocre at best. That said, I would definitely give it a try another try because the cocktails were super fun and delicious.

Just steps away from Wisconsin's State Capitol, you can find this beautiful restaurant. Lucille's is a tri-level restaurant that serves craft beers, cocktails, wood-fired pizza, and a variety of shared platters. If you are fortunate enough to get seated upstairs, you will also be able to get an amazing view of the capitol building. This review is based on my first visit to the restaurant on a Saturday afternoon, with a reservation for a party of 4. NOTE: Strongly recommend making a reservation (and, if you check-in via Yelp on your first visit, you can get a free dessert item). Food: My party of four tried the steel pan nachos, a steel pan pizza (serves 3-4 per their menu), empanadas, and a 'build your own' wood-fired pizza. We all enjoyed the steel pan nachos- the homemade chips were crisped to perfection, and the toppings were tasty. The empanadas were just okay- they left more to be desired. They lacked enough filling, and seemed to compensate with more dough instead. Our wood-fired pizza arrived before the steel pan pizza, so everyone was eating from the wood-fired pizza. The pizza provided a savory taste with every bite and the sauce was delicious. When the steel pan pizza arrived, we were already full from the nachos and wood-fired pizza. Two people in my party still had a slice of the steel pan pizza and they enjoyed it. Service: We arrived a few minutes early than our reserved time, but we were seated immediately on the lower level near the bar. We were provided with water and small plates immediately, but shared that we needed more time to review the menu as it was our first time visiting. While the waiter was pleasant and provided everything we needed, she was slow. When it was time to pay our bill, she waited so long to collect the funds that I went looking for her so we could leave. Perhaps they're just having staffing issues, like many other restaurants during this time. Value: Keep in mind that this place is known for pizza and shared plates. With that said, I personally would not dine here alone. It is a little pricey for the location in my opinion, and if you dine alone, you will really be paying for it. The 'build-your-own' pizza can add up quickly as each topping costs between $2-$5, and I didn't try any of the 'fresh house cocktails' as they ranged from $13-$17 each. I did notice that they have a happy hour everyday from 3pm-6pm (all day Tuesdays), so that might be the time to try those! Ambiance: The restaurant has a modern, rustic, renovated warehouse feel to it. When you walk in, you will immediately notice the high ceilings, all of the lights, modern decor, and U-shaped bar in the center of the lower floor. It was very warm and inviting. Beliefs: Speaking of the restaurant being 'warm and inviting,' I also love their beliefs, which create a healthy environment for inclusiveness. According to their website (and some of the decor in the restaurant- see pride flag, etc), the restaurant stands for humility, collaboration, respect & justice, love, equity, and inclusivity. The website adds that they stand in solidarity with 'Black, LGBTQ, and indigenous communities everywhere'. Location: Located in downtown Madison, WI near the state's capitol. Other restaurant and shopping boutiques nearby as well. 101 King St, Madison, WI 53703.

Great atmosphere. Our server was friendly, helpful, and proficient. The pizzas we ordered were just amazing! We went around Christmas, so it was all decked out for the holidays. There's nothing better than sitting by the window with wonderful food, all nice and toasty, while it's snowing outside. I gotta say, I love their pizza. Can't wait for their next event!
