Prices are outrageous, I can drive 8 miles get three times the amount of food for less and that includes my gas money getting there and back. To feed two people, it runs us roughly $65-$70 and that's getting whatever special or deal they have going on at the moment, Prices are WAY too high for a small town. read more

Driving north on 57 and stopped. Delicious hot thin crispy crust. We ordered cheese only online for pick up after getting gas at a nearby station. They have a drive-thru too! A must try! read more

After driving all day, making our way home after a fun road trip, we were starving. We came across this place and decided to check it out. A great decision! The staff was very welcoming, and we were able to be seated right away. The pizza here is amazing. You have your choice of thin crust, pan style, and gluten free. They even have oven-ready frozen pizzas so you can enjoy the Monicals goodness in the comfort of your own home. We started out with an order of their cheesy garlic bread. It was a very excellent start to our meal! For our pizza, we opted for the 16 inch large thin crust with pepperoni and onion. It was amazing! The sauce and the ingredients really made the pizza come together nicely. If you're not feeling up for pizza, Monicals also has sandwiches, salads, and pasta. There is a kids menu also for those 12 and under. Monicals, seriously, please look into expanding into Wisconsin! read more

Monical's Pizza Arcola - the neon sign for the restaurant - Caterers Near Me - Arcola, Illinois

One of the few decent places to eat in Arcola. Great service and pizza was excellent. You can't go wrong here.

Driving through town Thought I would get a pizza It was very good, nice crispy crust, it even had salt on it Ordered some garlic bread also, was good read more

Busy Monday night at Monical's. Over 40 minute wait for our pizza. Tables filled up quickly after we arrived and a steady stream of take out customers. Signs on the door that for best service, order on line. Waitress said our ticket was lost, causing the delay. When the pizza arrived it was burnt and tough. We did eat the pizza, but it was not their best effort. Everyone around us seemed pleased with the service and food. We were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. To their credit they volunteered to comp our meal. read more

Monical's Pizza Arcola - Thin crust - Caterers Near Me - Arcola, Illinois

This place blew my socks off! I don't know if it was the fact that we were driving all day or not. But we stopped here on a spur of the moment. We weren't sure what to expect being our first time. The location is right off the highway and easily accessible. We were greeted by friendly staff and seated immediately. Now let's get to the good stuff which is the pizza. It starts with the thin and cracker like crust. Which remains crisp under the sauce and toppings. They have a good selection of toppings and very reasonably priced as well. They also have garlic bread that is almost as good as the pizza. For $5 you get six generous sized pieces topped with cheese. So if your in the area and looking for a good pizza at a good price check them out. read more

So I was heading South on 57 and stopped at a Monical's Pizza at the exit before this one. I entered the restaurant and a lady in the pizza making area acknowledged me and yelled to the back that I was waiting for a seat. About 5 tables had people at it. I waited, and waited, and waited but no one came out. I noticed that there were a few dirty tables and a booth that looked like someone just wiped the table onto the floor. My first thought was I hope they don't make me walk through that to get to my table. A guy with trash came out but no one came to help me. So I left. I then came to the next exit at Arcola and walked in and a younger gentleman greeted me right away and escorted me to my seat. Then a sweet young girl (Rachel) greeted me again and took my order. She got my drink and made sure it was refilled. Another family came in and ordered, ate then left. The moment they were gone, Rachel came and cleaned off the table, pulled the table out and cleaned the floor and everything. When I went to check out, the gentleman, )Clayton) at the register was smiling and seemed to be really interested in whether my experience was good or not. (lol. Either he was new, or he really cared. I'll stick with him being a good employee and caring that I had a good experience.) I asked for the manage (Bailey) to tell her Rachel did a good job and about the experience I had at the other location. She too was nice. The pizza was good but the service was better. Together made a great experience. I'd come back here any time. Kudos on Management for training your staff well!! read more

I love every monicals I've ever been to, but this one is my favorite by far. The staff is great and the manager is always going out of his way to make sure you are happy with your experience. It's worth the drive if you don't live in Arcola ... put this restaurant to the test and you will see it outshine the monicals near you! I think I'm going to make that trip today... monicals sounds GOOOOOOD read more

Excellent pizza. I'm not from this area but we stop to eat here whenever we are passing through. It is thee best. Try the deluxe. It's awesome. read more

Can't get service here. Was seated quickly and server walked by us to take two others tables order before mine who were sat after us. She she smiled at us when she took the other tables order. I guess they only take orders from thier friends. It must of have been a race issue. read more

This is my favorite pizza place in Arcola! Fast friendly service and menu items out of this world! Our waitress kept our drinks full for the entire duration! The pizza was amazing with toppings over flowing! Will be back again! read more

Really great pizza. Great atmosphere. Sweet people. Watch out for Ethan... he likes to change up your meal to keep things interesting, he also asked out my 13-year-old daughter on a date. When I asked the manager if that was normal, he said it was, so... I guess it's cool. (that was a joke people) Pizza was awesome. Price was great for the quality. (this ain't dominoes) Service had a whole lot of smiles, especially Ethan's who, for some reason me and the staff all seemed to be picking on as we waited for our pies and we got a lot of laughs. You can't go wrong here. It's in the middle of nowhere and is outstanding. Go to Monicals! read more

The food was just alright nothing special. The food took a while for delivery considering it was a salad and a sandwich.

Monicals is usually very good, this was just OK. The service was slow and the pizza did not have the normal zing. We have had much better.

Ordinarily love Monical's pizza, but the service here is horrendous. We got there on a Saturday night after the rush. There were four tables seated out of maybe 25, including us. Waiter brings water and we tell him we're ready to order. Says he'll be right back and then disappears for the next 10 minutes. Goodbye. read more

Great pizza and huge thick chicken wings, but the staff on the other hand weren't that amazing. We were not greeted, no plates for our pizza, nor a goodbye when we left. We had no idea we had to pay at the counter. I rate this place as a so-so. read more
