Don't go hit golf balls here if anyone is left handed in your party. This is the second time coming here and they have no left handed golf clubs. Maybe go buy some more left handed golf clubs, instead of building that second floor. read more

There is nothing, absolutely nothing, New Haven about this pizza. I would highly recommend a full removal of New Haven from any of their marketing and social media. Secondhand embarrassment for this place! If it's "New Haven inspired" can you mention where your inspiration came from and how your product compares? read more

Terrible service, somewhat okay pizza, but the service destroyed the experience for me. The environment with many TVs is the only positive I can take away. Waiter told us "you're all grown men, you can get drinks yourself". He also messed up 2 of our orders, and denied us free breadsticks when our coupons offered it. Bathrooms were DISGUSTING. Vomit inside a urinal, trash overflowing. I'll never be back again read more

The food and service was great! The decorations and theme of the restaurant are fantastic. But, please tell the server with the tight shirt he could use a belt. :) read more

Excellent service from the two bartenders at westside smoke, I think their names were Izzy and Silvania. Austin was also very professional.

I feel like these post need updated !!! Great place! Big things happening ! I've been going there for a long time and honestly it is better now than it's ever been . It's being all upgraded , couches, tables , top golf, sports tv outside , music . You name it it's happening out there . I've seen this parking lot packed so much lately that you have to get a reservation for a section to hit balls on the weekend . Hats off to blono -ownership and it's staff . The hospitality has been great the food has been great and there doing nothing more than adapting to there soon to be destination weekend . Thanks again Chris p read more

So this is my 4th visit to BloNo Pizza and it was easily the best of the bunch. There was more staff there than usual but still not enough focus on tables which results in slow inconsistent service. Pizza was surprisingly better than I recall.... Our table had 4 pizzas in total all different toppings. Nothing incredible here but it is slightly above average pizza. Atmosphere is still swingers... don't let the graffitied swingers sign fool you. One thing that has changed is the amount of kids running around. There were ALOT and it's starting to become a Chuck E. Cheese / pizza ranch - this is fine if you have kids.... But was a little obnoxious having pizza and drinks in the bar area with children screaming. Drink prices are expensive overall - especially mixed drinks. We we're seeing upwards of $11 for singles. Overall; average at best pizza with a weak atmosphere. Bar + kids just feels weird. Need a dedicated family area away from bar area. read more

Fun vibe. NON chain feel. Which is rare in this town. Definitely recommend to make it a new favorite. Friendly staff! Pizza was amazzzzzzimg read more

It was just ok. I made a reservation for my son and I to use an outdoor patio/garage for some time on the range together and a quick dinner. They weren't very busy (at least not for the outdoor bays), but it seemed to take longer than usual to have someone come to us to take our order. The food: We both ordered boneless wings with garlic parmesan --- I thought it would be sauce. No, it was breaded boneless wings with parmesan (like the cheapo stuff you put on spaghetti) and maybe some garlic powder or something; I really don't know, because you couldn't really taste any flavor. It was basically breaded chunks of chicken with a light sprinkle of cheap parmesan cheese. Most times when you order a flavor on wings, it's a sauce not a sprinkled on seasoning, so that really wasn't what I was expecting. So, lack of flavor and they were a bit overcooked -- kinda tough. Thankfully they brought a couple of ranch containers to drown them in to get at least some flavor, but no blue cheese dressing. So, in short, maybe their pizza is better, but I would not recommend the boneless wings. The place/range/bays: The place felt a bit dirty and grungy. The floors inside felt sticky under your feet. The outdoor furniture in our bay had lighter colored cushions that were noticeably dirty... to the point where I didn't really even want to sit down. After our hour was pretty much up, we needed to leave to go to an appointment (like I said, our time for the bay was technically up anyway). I had to flag down our waiter to get the check, but after more than 5 min, I ended up just going inside to meet him to pay (not ideal when it was rather hot outside and we needed to leave). The range: The range is ok. The driving mats were in ok, but not great shape and the rubber tees weren't worn down or broken. They have the TopTracer tracking system with some nice options -- games, driving range, longest drive, play a round, etc. However, there was a game where you could play a virtual round of golf at some notable courses, but for "near the green" shots, the system wouldn't register a shot that was less than about 50 yards. It was our first time here, so maybe there was a setting that I wasn't aware of, but regardless, if there was a way to make it work, there weren't clear instructions on how to do it. We spent most of the time playing a kids game and using the longest drive module, which was fine. As of note, I'm not sure how accurate the system was with distances. If you are going here to see how far you can hit various clubs, not sure it would provide accurate data. So, overall, for 2 people to rent a rather dirty bay and for low-quality boneless wings, waffle fries, no drinks, and tip, the cost was just about $50. As a note, the bay rental is $10 for one hour and includes a large bucket of balls. However, when in one of the lower, bar-level bays, per the website, it's expected that you are going to order either drinks or food. So, it was just ok. I wouldn't go out of my way to do it again, but I would still meet friends here if it was something they wanted to do, but I might just use one of the upper bays and buy the large bucket of balls and skip the food and marginal service. read more

Wonderful food and service! The place had such a fun vibe to it. It was a trivia night when we went. It was very entertaining!

We had a reservation for 6pm for 10 people. (You pay for the space by hour) We arrived on time and had to wait 10 minutes to get out in the garage, waited 30 minutes to even get golf clubs, had to go get our own balls, waited 40 minutes for a drink which was wrong. Kept receiving wrong drinks ALL NIGHT. They tried to charge us for two extra buckets of balls and the waitress tried to argue with me about how many buckets we had when she couldn't even get our food or drink order correct. It just felt so unorganized and subpar at best. Especially when we had a reservation. Was also told they were fully staffed so what's the excuse for awful service?? We won't be back. Wish it was still swingers!!!!! read more

This place was great when it first opened. Gone significantly downhill since. I have been a customer since the start and ordered frequently. They'd forget the dipping sauce every time. they'd over cook or under cook. You couldn't get ahold of anyone. One time they brought the forgotten sauce to me An hour later and didn't bring the right sauce. The pizza was always inconsistent. they gave me a gift card for all The mistakes so I tried again, sure enough they screwed up again. No thanks read more

TL;DR: 4 high schoolers had a great, recommended evening until the waiter yelled at them for not tipping when they weren't yet leaving. We had a great, fun-filled night until the last half hour. For reference we booked the 7-9pm block on a Wednesday night.The pizza was good (albeit a little small but that wasn't a worry), and some extras like the wings and mini corn dogs were also tasty (though overpriced). It was a good way to practice and hang out with my friends while using the driving range. The heated patio was also cozy and a good spot to chat. Going with a group of 4 definitely made it more affordable. That being said, our time was ruined by the rude and snappy waiter serving our food. The staff inside were friendly and helpful, but the waiter was snappy, rude, and impatient. As 4 high school students, we wanted our change back after paying, something he scoffed at. Then, with a half hour left of our reserved time, he began cleaning our dishes up, which was nice, until he yelled at us to "be decent and tip the server next time". We had been polite and friendly all night, just to have the mood ruined in the last half an hour. It quickly went from fun shots on the driving range to hard swings out of frustration. Originally we all planned to pitch in a $5 tip ($20 total) on the table, however we then decided not to leave anything to hopefully show that tips aren't always deserved, especially after an interaction like that one. Overall our experience was very pleasant and I will be going back in the future, hopefully when a different server is working. read more

Pizza was great! Love the kool aid station. Today was only there second day being open. I do hope in the future they consider a bigger salad bar, and maybe have wings available for additional purchase. Something about all those TVs just makes me want wings! Lol read more

With more focused effort this place could be amazing. Pizza is decent, but I mostly go there for the Top Tracer golf. There are many things that need to be repaired. I have mentioned to the staff the last few times I've gone that there are several light bulbs that need to be replaced. Should be simple but they are still out months later. There are not tees available in every bay so you have to go look in other bays for a tee. There are tons of golf balls that should be thrown away but it doesn't seem like they ever replace them. The carpet on the hitting mats & the range needs to be replaced as it is an eyesore making the place look ragged. This place has a lot of potential but it seems like they aren't investing wisely. They're in the midst of an exterior painting project & clubhouse upgrade but I didn't think the paint or clubhouse looked remotely as bad as the range carpet & nets. Hopefully they will soon put attention to the things most impacting the golf experience. read more

Ordered from Blono pizza last night. Pizza's were great. We also got some boneless wings which came with an awesome blue cheese dressing. Definitely ordering again. read more

It was ok Tasted like an elevated frozen pizza with added on toppings. But barely any topping read more

Ordered Blono Pizza curbside pickup yesterday for the first time. Was yummy and at a great price! Fast, friendly service as well. They had a special $13 for a 12" pizza, small salad, can of soda and two cookies. Started munching on the pretzel bites before I got home! read more

I just moved here recently from Chicago and unsurprisingly I'm a big Pizza fan. And I've been looking for something good and unique here in Bloomington and this place delivered. The bar had a pretty good selection and the appetizers looked great (Though I didn't have time or room for any) You can also order some food and have it outside by the patio or driving range. My server (and bartender) Luke was on point and got to me right away and was very helpful throughout the meal. I ordered a Gin Cocktail called the "Snoop" and he blended it perfectly plus not too much or too little ice. The real star though was of course the Pizza. I ordered a personal pan "Chunk" which is Pepperoni, Sausage and Canadian Bacon with extra cheese. The sauce was excellent. Savory and with generous use of Basil and Oregano just the way I like it. AND there was plenty of it. The cheese was phenomenal too. Gobs of fresh mozzarella, no cheap substitutes like cheddar jack or anything like that. My only regret was not coming with more people to share with (And to give Luke a bigger tip lol). 10/10 will be back again read more

Save yourself the $9 and go buy three frozen pizzas at Kroger. Or buy two pizzas and an Eminem CD from the early 2000s. The ambiance - and the temperature of the food - will be the same. read more

Hat's off to BloNo Pizza Co for taking the risk of offering a made daily FRESH, product, that I would call "artisan" or "gourmet" pizza, which shouldn't be devoured, but savored. The soups are also fresh made, and also, delish. What was the risk? Well, fresh = daily guessing how much dough they'll knead (see what I did there?), without having to throw out a ton of unused product at the end of the day. Good on BNPC, for not compromising their fresh initiative by mass producing a substandard non-fresh product. Hang tight BNPC, what the world needs now is love. . . . and fresh. read more

If I could rate less than 1 Star I would. Server didn't even seem interested in being there or serving people. Appetizers were mediocre. Nothing special and cheese sticks were brunt. 3 of us in the party and each pizza came out separately within a 15 minute time span. My pizza came out wrong and had to flag her down. When the correct one came was also burnt all around the crust and on the bottom. I would not go back and not recommend this place to anyone. Pizza dough tasted sour. All 3 people in our group ended up sick. read more

We went here for a birthday. The staff was great and the food was really good. This was our first time visiting and will be back!!

They haven't been open very long so they still need time to figure it out. It was a 1.5 hour wait (so they could replenish the buffet) on a Saturday night which isn't unheard of for a new restaurant. We didn't end up waiting that long which was good. There are plenty of arcade style games for the kids to play which was great for our group. The food was good but they had to keep refilling the buffet because almost as soon as they would bring it out, it would all be gone within minutes. While we were there, they ran out of cookies and a bit later ran out of pizza as well. We will be back but will give them a little more time to straighten out the wrinkles. read more

I've been here a few times and it just seems to keep getting worse, and the past few times have been awful. The food is fine, but it's nothing special. However, the golf (the main reason you would come here) is pretty terrible. The TopTracer thing that they have barely works. It is constantly tracking balls from other bays and half of the time doesn't even track the ball you hit. Plus, the hitting mats are in pretty bad shape. They need to be replaced rather soon in my opinion. The range is another issue. The carpet on it is in terrible condition. It definitely needs to be redone. There are rocks, weeds, and it just is in really bad shape. Basically everything about the golf is bad. The only way you could possibly enjoy this is if you have never, and I mean never, played golf before, and even then it's still a low chance. Otherwise, it is just a massive annoyance. The balls there are also terrible. They should have been replaced years ago, but they seem to just not care. Also, the service is not amazing. It's there but not great by any means. The best part about this place is actually the non-golf part, which has free arcade games for people and kids to play. However, the terrible golf and mediocre everything else makes this place a no-go for me. read more

The Fab Five pizza is so good! Love the atmosphere here, love the 80s vibe. Staff was great, golfing is fun also! Nice to have something different and fun in town. read more

I've had better frozen pizzas. The server we had was an absolute dipshit. Wouldn't write a single order down for our group and then took over an hour to get the food out to us, but it was all wrong and a few people never did get the correct order. Only positive of this place is smacking some golf balls while waiting an hour for a terrible pizza. read more

Best deal in town: Wednesday nights gourmet pizza made to order and any draft beer for $10. Be sure to get the sausage and mushrooms (they are sautéed fresh daily). My favorite is the fab five. Drafts are mostly from local breweries. read more

Came here for a friends birthday party. Heard lots of good things about the place, but the experience was slightly different than what I expected. We reserved a section to hit some golf balls and have some drinks. There was a bit of confusion as to our reserved section upon arrival. The propane tank for the fireplace was empty and had to wait until a new tank was installed for some heat. In regards to our golfing stall, we had what was basically a waterfall raining down right on the driving area. It was raining out but I figured there would've been something to divert the water away from the driving stall. I will however say that the pizza was really good and the drinks had a good menu variety. The place is decorated pretty well and there's plenty of parking. Staff was friendly when they were around, it didn't seem that busy on the day we went but I could be wrong. I would go back, but more than likely on a better day with better weather. read more

Had lunch there today with some friends and we had buffet. Buffet only had seven pizzas at a time and they went fast. The kitchen could not really keep up refilling the line. The pizzas were very skimpy on topping. I had a sausage pizza slice with one piece of sausage on it. Positives- friendly staff, unique pizza crust that is good, not expensive, chili was good Overall would not recommend to others. read more

We had a great (sweltering) time! The food was great, the wait staff were wonderful which made it a fun evening for us. Our biggest issue was that we reserved a garage and there was no ventilation at all. Other areas had two fans but the garage we were in was absolutely blistering hot. The table was in the shade but the couch was unusable as not only was it in the sun but it was too hot to even sit on. So despite paying almost double for a garage, the only part of it that was usable was the high top table. An AC unit or fans would have made a significant difference in our enjoyment of the evening. The patios with fans were significantly more comfortable. We left soaking wet with sweat. Again, a great place for a fun evening with great food and great staff but beware of which unit you book depending on the weather. read more

This place is a pure joke I would never eat there they can't even keep up with a party of 15ppl they continuously ran out of items !!! Furlongs was wayyyy better at service and food !! read more

Best pizza buffet in town! Pizza crust is crisp and soft all at the same time. Everything is homemade and always hot. Delicious homemade ranch dressing and soups. The potato basil was amazing. I will be back for for the price you can't beat it!! read more

When you get here you pay upfront, then we are told to wait 5 to 10 minute, even though there are tables available and there is pizza in the buffet. Next, I overhear the manager telling the hostess to basically tell people they have to wait 5 to 10 minutes so they can catch up on the pizza. I'm not sure I understand, this is supposed to be a pizza buffet. Honestly I was about to ask for my money back, I then approach the hostess and asked can we sit down because we have been waiting longer than the 5 to 10 minutes we were told. She said yes, we sat down and approach the buffet line, which was already out of salad, which stayed empty and not refilled for at least 20 minutes. I got some chili but that was the only bowl of chili left, and they never refilled it the whole time I was there. There was pizza out but it was sporadic. I really do wish this small business well, but I think they're trying to do too many things. They want to be a pizza restaurant, bar, gaming or betting room, and a party room. To me they're spreading themselves too thin, you can't be everything to everyone. If they are a pizza restaurant they need to focus on that, I understand many places open the bar because it's pure profit, but it detracts from the focus of what they're really trying to do , which is to make great pizza, unless that's not what they want to do. The pizza was good tasting, but just like many people have noted the service is not good, it lacks focus and follow through. Sadly poor service continues to be the hallmark of many Bloomington normal restaurants. read more

Absolutely loved the pizza. We visited on a Sunday evening and had great service. Kids had fun and our fam of 4 ate for $40. I complimented our server on the sauce and she told me everything is homemade. Give this place a try!! read more

Been there three times, twice for lunch buffet and once for dinner. Pizza buffet is way too small for the number of tables. Agree with other reviews that the pizza goes fast and you're stuck waiting for more. Also find it very weird they take your money upfront at the door... like they don't trust you. Took the family for dinner and ordered off the very limited dinner menu. 20 minutes for the app to show up and 45 mins for the pizza to show up. And the cashier at the door and a server were both confused about which one were supposed to be waiting on us. The only positive is the crust... a good, crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside crust. But it doesn't make up for the waiting. Hopefully it's just a symptom of inexperience and customer service workflow issues and they get it worked out quickly. read more

Great atmosphere and cant beat the lunch pizza buffet with salad, chili/ soup, breadsticks pizza and cookies with drink included.
