It's a great long-time local family business. It is my first time dining here, and I was delighted by the quality of their pizza. The pizza has the unique sweet sauce, that was developed by the family 30 years ago. I enjoyed the juicy and fresh ingredients (mushroom, pepper, sausage, pepperoni) on the Large Deluxe pizza. The crust is thin and crunchy, yet the toppings are delicious and tender! I would not say that I was impressed by the service. The servers all seem rather young (like teenagers) and the service is friendly but minimal. The environment is okay, friendly local diner. I was sad to see not too many people there and also the family fun park was already closed early in October. read more

Being from this town born and raised, we've been eating their pizza all of my life and I'm pushing 72 and I swear when I was younger, the sauce wasn't as sweet now it tastes more like spaghetti sauce and pizza sauce and I don't like that and they always put way too many onions on their special read more

We ordered pizza and wings for pick up and the women on the phone said thirty minutes. We went 40 minutes later to pick it up and it wasnt ready, there was a bag in the warmer but no pizza,a man came in after me and had burgers to pick up ,but was also thinking about ordering a pizza and he said he didn't know how it worked since it took longer to cook a pizza then a burger, she proceeds to tell him they time it so everything is done at the same time. Well I waited another 15 minutes for my pizza and that bag that had been sitting in the window were my wings! We ordered a medium deluxe pizza that was supposed to have green peppers on it but I think they forgot the green peppers and added extra onions! The wings were not hot but the ranch was,plus the wings were very small and reminded us of the Tyson chicken wings you get in the freezer section of the grocery store! read more

They should advertise on their menu home of grape jelly for pizza sauce. I ordered they delivered. As I was getting it plated up I noticed a had a dab of something on my finger. I licked it off and I thought it was jelly or something. It was that sweet. And I couldn't figure it out, I haven't been near anything sweet. Sit to eat one bite, i thought I was being trolled that's how sweet it was. Called them and they said they are known for their sweet sauce. I've had pizza all over the world and never had anything that bad. Whole large into the trash. read more

Always good. Their sauce is the best, a little sweeter than your normal sauce. Always visit when I'm in town. read more

I love their pizza! It's always my choice when given the option. The sauce is sweeter than most, but that's what I love about it!

We used to love Gradys Pizza. We have not ordered in a long time.We got it tonight and something has changed. The crust is thicker and the sauce was not sweet like we remembered it being. We ordered our usual with hamburger, mushrooms, green peppers and onions and the only thing you could taste with every bite was onions. Not sure when it changed but will probably not order again. Bring back the thin crust and the sweet sauce!!!! read more

This is a go to whenever I am back in town. I just rolled in last night and ordered my usual for pickup. Just as good as it has always been in the 30+ years I have been going here. Friendly service, great and consistent food. Long time customer and still love it! read more

I drove delivery for Jim Grady from 18 to 20 years of age. Now his family runs the business and the ingredients have remained the same for over 30 years. Still great pizza with a unique flavor. Love eating here each time we come "home" for a visit. read more

This is the most fun my son had this summer during his visit. This will definitely be a go to destination every time I have him until he grows up. read more

This pizza is ok the cheese was great and the crust is cooked to perfection. Looking at this pizza I wanted to fall in love with it. But honestly the sauce is too sweet for me, they do warn you about the sweetness but this is almost dessert sweet. I got some ranch on the side and that was also sweet so I couldn't get the savory sweet combo I was looking for. I don't know if I'll order from here again but if you like your pizza sweet go ahead and order you will be happy. read more

Ordered 4 pizzas - had to stack them to get them out to car then laid them individually in backseat - get home and cheese and topping stuck to paper so we had to scrape off the toppings back on to pizza. Called and talked to Chris the manager and he says they don't put the table separators on pizzas with high toppings (like sausage). Well pepperoni is pretty flat right? Don't think covid is the reason for places closing I think more like customer service. read more

PIZZA NASTY ASL this nasty a** pizza it is to sweet, why would you make a pizza sweet ? The sh*t gave me a cavity and the large that you pay over $20 for looks like a small pizza, I do not recommend this stupid place I hate it so much I been working all day and I'm so mad because I will not eat this pizza because it is disgusting read more

Grady's is a mystery of the pizza universe that I'm not sure I'll ever understand. Being in Central Illinois, getting a really good pizza is a crapshoot. You can either go to the Central Illinois staples -- Monicals or Tobins -- or you can try your luck at other places. Grady's, however, is a unique place to go because if you go there for reasons other than the mini golf and go karts, it's pretty blah. There are two things about Grady's which I never understood: the sweet sauce and the meatball sized sausage. I was going to write more, but I think I'll just leave it at that. If you don't like sweet-sauced pizza, then I would not go to Grady's. read more

Unfortunately, I was looking forward to this pizza after a long day of traveling from Minnesota. Grady's Pizza was recommended by the hotel concierges. The pizza looked and smelled FANTASTIC! I had ordered the deluxe with extra sauce and no green peppers. Well, I took one bite, and had to spit it out because of the massive amount of ONIONS in it! I DO like onion on my pizza, but I do NOT appreciate an ONION pizza. I couldn't eat my $20 pizza. I peeled off the cheese and meat toppings and left the rest. When I called at 9:54 (they close at 10pm) to inquire if I indeed received the correct pizza, the answering machine came on to say that they were closed. Very disappointed. If you are ordering from here, I recommend trying it...but only order one topping, NO extra sauce, and absolutely no onions! read more

Ordered For delivery got pizza one hour or more later which I understand with the labor situation Compared the receipt which by the way only had the total on it to the pricing online for what we ordered there was a $30 difference i then proceed to call them and the girl said oh yeah if you looked at the online pricing it's wrong we didn't put that there seems to me maybe somebody should do something about it and stop over pricing 2 pizza's and 1 order of bread sticks it was over 85 dollers read more

Only thing that is good is their pizza! Far too expensive and everything else on their menu is awful!!!!!

Best pizza I've ever had! We love this place from the fried breadsticks to the delicious pizza it's all great! The sauce is a little sweet but that's not a bad thing! I think it's a secret family recipe. Crispy crust! You won't find any pizza like this anywhere else. read more

Grady's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Bloomington, Illinois

I live in Dallas Texas but was raised in Bloomington. Every time I come to Bloomington to see family we always go to Grady's because we have always loved this place since childhood. I was there in April and we were told all you could get is pizza. And they weren't very friendly. So I was back to Bloomington a week ago and it was even worst. We went in and you could tell the waitress was not happy we were there. And the first thing she said was they only had pizza and maybe a salad. And you could tell she was disgusted that we were there. So when we were ready to head home my son bagged me to bring him a Grady's pizza. So I got a cooler and dry ice and called them to order him some pizza's. It was only 7pm and they should have been open. It said they were closed. So we went ahead over there and I went in and was told they closed because they ran out of dough? I owned a Pizza Inn in Texas for 20 years I never told a customer that. And I never treated a customer like they treated us. It makes me very sad because Mr. Grady's picture was hanging when you walk in. Someone needs to save this place! read more

Pizza is my favorite food in the entire world and Grady's is #1. I eat pizza all the time, everywhere I go, and nothing has ever compared. I will admit if you aren't into sweet sauce, then it's probably not for you. But the thin cracker crust that makes you feel like you can eat 27 million pieces and not be full plus the large chunks of sausage on every piece and that oh so sweet and delicious sauce just can't be beat. Crust is one of my favorite parts of pizza usually, but I don't mind the fact that there isn't much of an outer crust because the other ingredients blend so perfectly - nothing is missing. We usually have to order 2 ;) My only complaints: 1. They should deliver to Normal. 2. They should franchise in Kansas. read more

I grew up eating Grady's pizza so I'm definitely a fan. It's always been my favorite with that sweet sauce and those crazy, big sausage balls. The crust is thin and perfect. I'm not a fan of their deluxe pizza or any pizza with mass quantities of toppings for that matter. Unlike most pizza, I think less is more here. If you eat in, you'll see they have a unique BBQ sauce on each table that is magic when you put it on the garlic bread. If you order a family size for pickup or delivery, you get a free soda! Score!! read more

Delicious pizza, great service, good prices! Boyfriend and I went here for lunch, had a sausage pizza. We got a large pizza and left with left overs for later! Their pizza sauce is a bit sweet so If you are a person who doesn't like sweet pizza sauce I wouldn't get their pizza. read more

Terrible service, waitress was on the phone the whole time probably waited 20 min for the check and got 1 refill after we sat there for 10 min with empty glasses... there were only 3 tables so they weren't busy... I hope whatever she was looking at was made her happy cause I'm sure that tip didn't... read more

This is a local place on the eastside of town by the car dealerships.Its been around since the 70s and we like to try this place every once in a while.They have a Great sausage/green pepper pizza that really hit the spot. We also had the garlic bread as well which was delicious.The decor has red skeleton pictures hanging up all over.The dining room is pretty clean & the bathrooms were clean as well(a big plus). After eating pizza they have a fun park in the back,with bumper cars,mini golf,batting cages & video games to do. We will be back again. read more

We love gradys pizzas always have been good food and great service they service hot pizzas These pizzas are really good cold also for the next day Very highly recommended read more

Love the pizza, best in town, would suggest for your delivery radius to expand to normal even if you had an up charge to get it there. Would get much more often with that option read more

Great pizza, and great namesake. Eating Grady food is really a special experience. The name grady makes the food taste phenomenal. I recommend Grady's pizza to everyone I know. Live love grady read more

i knew the sauce was going to be sweet prior to ordering and i've never had a sweet pizza sauce but i've come to the conclusion that sweet pizza sauce is not my thing. i ordered a veggie pizza and there was too many onions on it for me. i won't be ordering here again but if you enjoy sweet pizza sauce and lots of onions you'd like this place read more

Their little concession stand is never EVER open. I called them and they even said it was open and when I ot there it closed. It doesn't even take me but 5-10 mins to get to Grady's. They need to put HOURS on the concession stand. read more

By far my favorite pizza place! The pizza is amazing with their sweet sauce, & the breadsticks are amazing & fresh every time!

If Phoenix, only had a pizza place like this. When I'm back in Bloomington, Grady's and Steak n Shake, are a priority for me and my family. My very first job, as a teenager, was for Mr. Grady this place still makes me sick to my stomach. Now, let me clarify my last statement, when I say Grady's makes me sick to my stomach. The pizza is so good, I make a glutton of myself. I don't know what it is, but once I start into one of those Super Deluxe pies, I'm a total pig. Been eating there for since 1964, and they never, ever, disappoint. read more

Our favorite pizza in town! We have been driving in from Downs since I was a kid. I'm 62 and still doing it! read more

If you already have a favorite pizza, this might not be your place. Their product is that unique. I have heard stories of people driving from out of town or even the state to enjoy this wonderful pizza. This pizza was my mothers favorite. She would get sasage and onions and the dance these two toppins combined with their sauce invoke an immediate pavlovian response. read more

I've only had Grady's pizza a few times, and I do enjoy it. Yes, the sauce is sweet, which not everyone likes, but it's a cool unique flavour. read more

DELIVERY SUCKS! The person taking orders tells you inaccurate delivery estimates (45-60 min) and it took 90 minutes. We called and asked they said he should be there any minute. 20 minutes later still not here. Called again and then he finally showed up. The staff simply don't care. They said it is against their policy to call when delays are happening even though they take your phone number when ordering. NOT HAPPY with the excuses. read more

Ordered delivery and asked for a couple of napkins and the girl on the other end copped an attitude and said they don't send napkins out for delivery. REALLY?! The chicken arrived and cooked so hard I couldn't even break the thigh apart. I called and was put through someone I think was a manager and after talking to him they won't have any more of my business. read more

This is by far my favorite pizza. They have a super thin cracker crust and a sweet sauce. It is very unique. I have been eating here for 30 years and the service is always great. read more

I love Grady's Pizza. The sauce is a bit sweet so you get a good salty-sweet taste with the cheese. Sadly, they don't deliver to Normal, but I think it's worth picking up on the way home from work! read more

Long time customers who are done. We moved to Normal (4.1 miles from this pizza place) and they wont deliver. Well if we are too far away from you, you are too far away for us! Seriously what real pizza place has a delivery radius under 4 miles? With so many great pizza places in the Bloomington Normal area we will some how survive. For those who are more than 4 miles away I would recommend Tobin's pizza on Main street. read more

Have been going to gradys for thirty years and since they have become such a big business they have forgotten about customer service. This make several times I have called and the person on the other end of the phone was incredibly rude. I guess they have so much business they no longer need to worry about customer service! Very disappointed in a home town business read more
