“ The location is nearly perfect--not far and little traffic. The pizza is good, the service is good, and even hubby, who doesn't eat pizza, loves the salad. (Ask for the red dressing.) ”
“ OK, I haven't been to Monicals in a while, however, the thin crust pizza was excellent. The thin crust sorta reminds you of the quick brick oven pizzas, thin, light and crispy...very good. The place was clean and our waitress was patient, nice and she took care of us. I went right after shopping nearby, when we arrived barely anyone inside, but, by the time we left, filling up quickly. I know it is a chain, but, definitely good pizza. ”
“ We love Monical's Pizza! Their thin crust is crispy and the pizza baked to perfection. Add a touch of their special dressing and you've got heaven on a plate! ”
“ Great pizza, mediocre salad. Close. The drive in takes way too long of a wait. Go inside and save yourself some time. ”
“ This is a busy pizza restaurant, but it's not surprising considering the customer service you receive. Always clean, always good service. If Justin is there, his style of order taking will amuse and amaze you. He never writes anything down, and I've yet to see him make a mistake. He's an energizer bunny working the entire dining room alone at times. Our family loves going here for birthday celebrations. Their back room is great when we have a special event whether a family or high school class gathering. ”
“ My rating is for the menu item called The Point Pizza, DELIGHT style, one of my favorite all-time pizzas! Get it cooked "well done". The crust & the sauce are better than on their other types of Zas, IMHO. Ok it's pricey but omg is it worth it! (Hey, if you're OLD like me, ask for the Senior discount.$$) Of course as one does, I buy the side cup of French Dressing to dip in, ummy yummy for mah tummy! Also it's easy to pu your order at their drive-up window. Or their delivery drivers do great too. Hey, I've TRIED to be clear here... I hope you get the POINT! Ha! ”
“ Awesome thin crust pizza. The crust is cracker crispy, just burnt enough on the edges to give it the right smokiness. The toppings are just right too. Does anyone even order anything else? FYI to Holly S., there was a Monical's in Chicago's Western Suburbs (Lombard?) a few years ago but sadly, it closed. ”
