Loved the wood fired pizza. We had the Udemi, super flavorful. The apps looked good too. the atmosphere is fun. See if you can get the seat upstairs looking out on the Capital. read more

I believe this is my favorite place for cocktails in madison now. We enjoyed their daiquiri shooters, and I had a really nice hard cider from Seattle. Many of the people in our group tried the craft beers and there were no complaints. We originally spotted this place on the way to the farmers market. They serve pizza through one of their windows to passers by that are on foot, if you don't have time to enjoy their in house atmosphere. The nightly entertainment is solid. Quality dj and delicious shooters on special. Not the kind of place you would come to for rails and syrup like shots. I love the large round booths upstairs, they fit all 7 of us with plenty more room. Go here! read more

Food was out of this world, once it finally arrived. To compensate, they offered us a cookie pan with ice cream. That would have been good as well if it hadn't taken just as long and 1/2 stuck in the pan. read more

I was here on a Saturday evening with two friends. Hostess A said it would be about a 30 minute wait, so we sat at the bar. After about 45 minutes, we checked in and hostess A said it would be a 5 minute wait, so we gave up our seats at the bar. We still weren't being seated, so I checked in again and hostess B said it would be more like a half hour. When I shared with hostess A that we gave up our bar seats when she told us it was going to be 5 minutes, she refused to acknowledge me at all, which was incredibly rude. The least she could have done was acknowledge that she gave us inaccurate information. By a stroke of luck, me and my friends were able to snag seats at the bar again, as we had given up on getting a table at this point. I ordered a vegetarian empanada, and I was given a chicken empanada instead, which as a vegetarian is unacceptable. (You have to bite into an empanada before knowing what the contents are, so I didn't realize until biting into it that it was meat filled). I complained, and they did the right thing by taking it off my bill. By the time we got our pizzas at the bar, we had been at the restaurant for about an hour and a half. Lucille management: 1) Please train your staff in appropriate customer service skills. It is not ok to intentionally ignore customers. The experience made me never want to eat there again; and 2) Do not mix up vegetarian empanadas with meat filled empanadas. This could actually be dangerous for people with food allergies or sensitivities, not to mention upsetting for vegetarians and people who don't eat meat for religious reasons. read more

Fun spot, but potentially a great spot. Loses a star for slow bar service and another star for charging for ice in your drink. No you read that right, I was charged two dollars for "rocks" with my whiskey. I'll take that business somewhere else next time. read more

We went to Lucille on a Saturday afternoon - during happy hour. We ordered a beer, cocktail and gluten-free pizza. Their home made sausage and tomato sauce are really good. We're giving it a 5 for having good gluten free pizzas (although not home-made GF crusts) and for the happy hour - which gives you 20% off of everything (including food). Full-service at the bar. read more

I wish I could review the food at Lucille's, but we didn't get to eat there on a recent Saturday afternoon. When we arrived, we were told it would be a half an hour wait. That was OK, and they took our cell number and said they would text us when a table was ready. When we were messaged that our table was ready, we were then told that the kitchen was backed up and our order would likely take another 20 minutes. They should have told us that when we checked in. Too bad. We decided not to wait and chose to go elsewhere. We MAY try them again some other day. read more

Great pizza place with amazing apps the fried green tomatoes were amazing and the deep dish ind. pan pizza is amazing

Great late night stop. The building is gorgeous with the open industrial feel. Late night they have pizza specials and an awesome DJ. I liked the lounge feel! The service was super slow and it took forever for drinks, but once we got them they were great. Worth checking out! read more

The building is beautiful. But you pay for it in the food. Unfortunately the food is not particularly great (especially for what you're paying) 12 dollars or so for an extremely salty procutto pizza with no sauce for one. The bar selection seemed good, and thry had a decent beer selection. read more

Another amazing conception by two great business partners. The food is stellar and the ambiance is fresh and hip. Love it and continue to go back! read more

Awesome ambiance, great nachos and pizza!!!! And a surprise capitol view. Will definitely go back!

The pizza crust is so freaking good!! Wonderful cocktails. I love the garage doors that open to the side walk in the summer. Super fun place

The location, building and build-out is really nice. The exposed brick, steel beams and open concept makes for a noisy but very appealing spot. We tried both the regular and pan pizza. Both were good but not great. I'd prefer Pizza Bruta for the Neapolitan at half the price, and the pan pizza was something between Chicago deep dish and Rocky Rocco's. My wife had a drink called a painkiller and she thought it was great. I had two beers off a very nice and varied beer selection. I know there is a premium for the location and the venue, but two pizzas, two beers and a drink for $70+ with tip seemed to be steep. I don't mind spending for good quality but, at the end of the day, it is pizza. I'm certain to be back, next time I will not have the sticker-shock. read more

I went to Lucille's upon a recommendation from a friend. The ambiance is bar like. I am not a drinker so I was not impressed by that. I ordered a pizza and a salad. BTW, their prices are exorbitantly high. Now I don't mind paying for good, tasty and plenty. I didn't feel that was the case here with the salad they were skimpy with the dressing and the pizza although the crust was good the mozzarella on the pizza was like a glob on top which hardened. It was little food for the price and not fulfilling at all. Plus it's a bar and I still have to pay a service charge. Will not be going back here. Next time I will just go to my favorite place Pizza Brutta. read more

Definitely a place to check out! Our server Trent was always attentive and did well making sure we were always taken care of. They're only five days old but the staff is already killing it. I had the nachos and the mozzarella and basil wood-fired pizza. Both were delicious. The drinks are mostly rum based, which is not a problem with me. The hotel nacional is a must have! Overall I'm extremely excited to experience more of the drinks, food, atmosphere & fun that this place has to offer. read more

Very good place to come! We were not sure if they accommodate children when we came, but they were very accommodating. Not much of a children's menu, but pizza is pretty universal. Brought us the wrong beer but it was still good. Will come back again! Steel pan pizza is amazing FYI! read more

Just moved down the street and have been visiting bars and restaurants, trying to find places my boyfriend and I can be regulars at. I visited Lucilles tonight for the first time and had the worst experience. I have served for the past 10 years so I understand how everything works, especially in busy, chaotic times. By far WORST SERVICE EVER. Guy in blue button up and black earrings was so rude and my friends had said guy in the flat brimmed hat was (and is) always awful when they go. Usually why they choose not to go here. Giving two stars because it was a super cool spot, esthetically ,and the one girl was eventually came over and was smiling and friendly all night. But will definitely not be back. read more

Lucille has great ambience . This is 2nd time we've been there - first time was great. Last night pizza delivered almost burnt- no serving utensil for pizza; the waitress was on her phone in the back; never came to see if we needed anything ( like 2nd drink) and we had to flag her down to get bill and box for our burnt pizza . Too bad - cause I like the atmosphere- but my husband won't go back. If you get a good server than probably a good experience. We should have sent pizza back but we couldn't find our server. read more

They had a rough start, but seemed to have worked out most of the kinks. The ambiance is the best new thing on the Isthmus, filling a void. Be sure to check out the downstairs vault bar which is carved out of an old bank. The beer selection is larger than first blush, with a list on the wall, and choices in the basement as well. The pizza was 4 of 5 stars, but they kept running out of ingredients the first month...so ordering was hit or miss. Staff needs to be a little more attentive, as it is common to wait 10 minutes or more for a drink. read more

Lucille has such a great vibe. The pizza we ordered was good. We also had nachos. They were loaded with sour cream so not my favorite. We would go back. read more

Great ambiance. Great vibe. Love the bar area. Very good service. The food? Just ok and overpriced given the grade we're giving them. Pizza dishes were overloaded with their specialty sauce. Great sauce but less is more . . . We'll give them another try but somewhat disappointed as 1st timers. read more

Stumbled upon this cool bar on a hot day. I had the fog lantern (strong drink, limit is two per person) it was pretty tasty, and I left with a good buzz. I originally asked the bartender if I could start a tab and pay with cash in the end, he said yes but when it came to pay he ran my card. (No biggie) but his attitude towards everyone seemed like he didn't want to be there, or he just hated his life. Who knows, besides the non social, grumpy bartender, everything else seemed pretty cool. They even had a downstairs lounge area, but I didn't want to check it out because he (bartender) was already frustrated that customers were going down when "clearly there is a sign that no one can read" (bartender)...overall good place! read more

Lucille is a very cool place for drinks and dining on the Square and we enjoyed both. The only negative is that it can get quite noisy, but that's not really the restaurant's fault. Just be prepared to shout across the table at your companions while you enjoy your delicious pizza. read more

We had a great first-time experience at Lucille. We were there at 5:30 on a Saturday night and the service was excellent. We were able to sit at the bar and have a few drinks before dinner, but I can see how it could get pretty busy in there. Our waiter was super friendly and did a great job keeping our drinks filled and checking up on us. The pizza was really good, but I wasn't blown away. We'll definitely be back. read more

I came here with a group of 5 on Wednesday night and the food was great, however the service was by far the worst I have had here. Our waitress started off fine, then seemed to get distracted and forgot about our table. We tried to wave her down several times to get our order taken, and when she finally came over she seemed obviously annoyed. She audibly sighed and became visibly irritated when we asked to make one modification to one dish. Also, we ordered nachos as an appetizer that never came and she never addressed it. When our dinner courses came, we had to tell the food runner to please cancel the nachos as it was now too late. Our food showed up inconsistently at different times despite multiple people in our group having the same thing. We also saw her regularly tending to other tables around us, refilling beverages and checking in. It wasn't until other groups had left or settled in that she came back to check on us. The service improved slightly at the end, when she addressed the birthday in our party. Overall, the experience wasn't the best we've had due to the service. We will have to hope we have better luck next time. read more

Wow, what a great place and location! We had the nachos (toppings put on in layers!) and shared a pizza. Food is excellent and wait service was perfect. Take a few minutes and enjoy a cocktail downstairs in the vault area (very cool)! Looking forward to many more meals at Lucille! read more

I live downtown, so I really want to like this place. I love the location, the interior is lovely, but the pizza is a big disappointment. We've tried it on several occasions. Initially it was quite good, but the 3 times we tried it in the last 6 months have all missed the mark. The pizza we had tonight had a burnt crust, uncooked and watery middle, and frankly unappetizing topping. They were not that busy, so I'm not sure why it was so bad. It's a pizza place, right? It's too bad... I do want to like it. read more

Food is great. Nachos are even better. Solid atmosphere for 20 somethings or 20-somethings at heart.

This is one of my new favorite places in Madison. It's got great views of the capital, is new, clean and spacious. The various floors and open center makes for a great airy place to people watch. The service was outstanding--from the hostess to the bartenders and servers. They were friendly, conscientious and attentive. The food was tasty and the portions were generous. Overall a great place. read more

Great pizza, and, unexpectedly great pizza alternatives like tacos and cheese curds. We ate at Lucille after walking around the Madison Farmer's Market and it was a great place to sit back, enjoy the hip decor and view of the square, while sipping on Bloody Mary's. I need to go back here and continue trying the menu. read more

Super delicious nachos! Particularly a pizza place but honestly the nachos were up there with the rest! I was also able to get a Moscow Mule for free which definitely made the charm even better read more

This restaurant is so good! Super cute and trendy & pizza is amazing. Also SUPER friendly waitstaff!

We got the brunch pizza and the bottom of the pizza was burned, ruining the taste of the entire pizza and delicious toppings on top. Interior and restaurant ambiance is adorable. Would try again but the burnt taste was a total turn off. read more

As a pizza enthusiast, I was really looking forward to trying the trendy flavors this restaurant offers. Unfortunately, the pizza fell somewhat short in comparison to other pizza venues around town. Not only was the pizza a little pricy, but I felt as though it lacked the unique flavors described on the menu. On a different note, the service was absolutely wonderful. Our waiter was constantly checking up on us and even gave us free drinks when someone from outside accidentally threw a cigarette butt into my water glass. read more

Great drinks and recommendations from waiter, Carson. Had 2 of their special cocktails and they were spot on. Taco bowl and veg bowl really good. Waiter was super nice and attentive and took the time to recommend things for us to do in town. Fun vibe at dinner read more

Our bartender was fun to interact with, gave us great recommendations, the pizza we ordered was the best ever, will return many times, thanks again, Gary read more

We had a party of five and ordered four items: the guacamole starter plater, the mojo pork tacos, a flatbread Mediterranean pizza, and veg-fest Detroit-style deep dish pizza. The pork tacos were pretty good, but my husband has had better. We were all happy with the variety of food available to vegetarians, since the rest of us like to eat vegetarian. The chips were probably made from flour tortillas, so they didn't have the typical corn taste. The guacamole was good, but it was bitter (maybe a lot of lime), had very large chunks of avocado (larger than we liked), and was not plentiful enough to cover all the chips. The Mediterranean pizza had a wine taste (probably from the olives) that I was not a fan of at all, but the thin crust was excellent. The veg-fest pizza had deliciously fresh vegetables, and I loved the cheddar cheese baked crisp around the edge of the crust, but the thick crust was very bready. Overall the food was good, and is worth a visit. The waiter was ok, but it was very busy on the Sunday night we went, so he was not very attentive. Reservations HIGHLY recommended. read more

Lucille - Loved the cheddar baked around the crust, and the veggies are great, but pizzas are otherwise not very impressive. - Pizza Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

See all

Some of the best pizza I've ever had (The Queen/margherita) and the autumn salad with walnuts/apples was so good.

Update- I lied and returned to Lucille. The pizza is just as good as I remember, the cheese curds are amazing, but the service is still off. I've added a star due to the taste of the cheese curds alone, but Lucille could really use training in customer service. read more
