Pan pizza is similar to what you'd get at Pizza Hut. Not bad. Kind of oily dough Interestingly the 8" pan pizza is $8, but the 10" pan pizza is $16 Bread sticks are soft. Step up from grocery store bread sticks read more

See all

You come in look at a menu at the order counter. I ordered a grilled chicken salad. Expecting the chicken to at least warm. Nope it was prepackaged. It had a strange taste, texture and color. I took it back to the counter and the man asked what was wrong. I told him and he says we don't grille it in house. The he says what do you want me to do about it? I tell him to make me a salad without the chicken; his reply it will take 10 minutes to get it out to me. I say fine I'll wait for it. He is angry now and slams the bowl against the side of the trash can to empty the salad. The salad was very large bowl. It consisted of mainly ice berg lettuce some cut up tomato and some shredded mozzarella cheese. In my opinion not worth the $12.00 read more

Monical's Pizza Centralia - Salad with ranch dressing. - Pizza Near Me - Centralia, Illinois

We ordered a medium sized pizza with everything. It was good, but had too many green olives on it. Service was good. As far as the ambiance or atmosphere, it's drab & dark, the cleanliness of the place could be better. The carpet was littered with dirty napkins and needed vacuuming. Nothing special. read more

Best Pizza in town. Get a side of cheddar cheea3 and one marinara. You'll thank me later.

Over priced, the dried seasonings on the pizza is over powering, the pizza crust is like trying to eat a brake pad. The box is much softer... read more

Unique thin crust pizza ! Always good always pricey! Orphan special is our go to ! Good fresh salad only improvement would be a better red tomato! read more

Over rated pizza. Subpar pizza. The price was too high for the worst service and quality. The decor seems to be left over bits and pieces from other pizza places of the '90s. Dusty relics just as the pizza. Having eight people behind the counter not working and cutting up when there is a restaurant for people that they could be checking on or clearing tables but yet nothing of that happened. Even the manager that seem to be on duty was part of the people cutting up. $$$$ 4 out of 4 dollars read more

ive orderd dozens of pizzas from them, but once i had a bad order, they through a fit and hung up on me!!! and i think they made it so i cant order online anymore, they did me so wrong after being a loyal customer for years! very rude!!! read more

First time here today and I'm sorry we didn't try it sooner. It's a counter service restaurant where you order at the counter and get your own drink and they bring the food to your table. The speed of service was noticeable. We ordered lunch specials with a small salad and individual pizza each. They were bringing the salad out before we even got to the table and they brought out the pizzas before we finished the salad. I saw it was the same speed for other diners. Not sure what happens if you get large pizzas to share. The salad was small but had lots of cheese and tomato. They give you a squeeze bottle if dressing, so you always get the amount to want. Pizza crust is very thin and crispy - very cracker like. I guess that's how they cook so quick. I had bbq chicken and wife had pepperoni. Mine had lots of bbq sauce , chicken and cheese. It was very good. The pepperoni had less sauce, I think, but it looked like the right amount and also right amount of topping. Both were sprinkled liberally with what I think was an Italian seasoning. We would definitely eat here again. The sandwich looked good and I'd like to try one, but will probably stick with the bbq pizza. read more

Monical's Pizza Centralia - a large pizza on a pan - Pizza Near Me - Centralia, Illinois

Great service, pizza is always very good and you cannot beat their House dressing. We had the family deal, everyone enjoyed the meal.

As I was working locally this past week, Monica's was highly recommended. My favorite pizza is St. Louis style, and this was some of the best I have ever had! Perfect thin-crust with cornmeal on the bottom of the crust and party cut as well! I highly recommend trying Monical's if St. Louis style pizza is what you are searching for. read more

The food is always good and fairly reasonable. Suggestion, put French dressing on your pizza!

High school and Monica's went hand on hand. Pizza oven - well done crispy pizza crust and wallet friendly. Drink refills and friendly staff.

Pizza was really good. Fast and Friendly staff. Enjoyed the experience and would go back. Very busy place but service set up makes its work well. read more

I apologize ahead for the three star rating. I will explain why. We are traveling and we find ourselves in Centralia Illinois and ask while doing a little historic tour where we should go have lunch. Locals say the coffee shop or Monical's pizza. I really wish we had chosen the other. I found it odd that anyone would recommend a chain restaurant but then I found out that's all this town has. Almost nothing available for lunch other than fast food. We go to the pizza joint where we have to stand in line to order because no one takes orders at the table. I was told I could take a menu to look over to table but to come back up to order. This menu was ripped apart and looked like it hadn't been updated in over a decade. The decor was the same. Bathroom was stocked and clean and restaurant did seem clean just terribly outdated. Order on your own, fix your own drinks and wait on food. Food came fast. I got the lunch special of an 8" pizza and salad and drink. I didn't have time to even get my drink and eat half my salad before pizza was there. Pizza crust was really crispy and the toppings were plentiful. My complaint is that the underside of pizza there were burnt bits of corn meal they put on bottom of pizza. Obviously they need to clean their ovens. Burnt pieces of corn meal and cheese doesn't make for a good tasting pizza. I should have taken a picture of my teeth when I got in car. Black burnt pieces all over. I probably won't be going back but I wanted to warn anyone looking that this was my experience. I will say the servers were personable and it wasn't a total bad experience. read more

My fav place for pizza and salad. The thin crust pizza is fantastic. I'm not sure what's different about their pizza, but I suspect it's the cheese. read more

I like Monical's, their orphan special is our families favorite from there. We would probably eat at or order out food here more often if the prices weren't so much. Not worth the cost to our family of four. If you got the cash to spare, this place is good, if you're going to spend this much already, Pizza Man in Salem tastes better and is just as expensive. read more

I love monicals pizza. very consistent and well worth every penny. i love it. staff is always very nice and friendly

The pizza was great, as was the salad. Will definitely keep this one on my list to go back

Seriously.. anyone that comes home to visit has to hit Monicals before they leave. It's some of the best pizza around!! We get this pizza a lot! It won't disappoint! read more

Best thin crust pizza around. Super fast service. Not cheap, but totally worth it.

We order pizza on Mondays after 4pm to get there deal they have, the pizza always amazes me

This was the best pizza in Centralia by far! Fresh and hot! The BBQ chicken pizza was a total win, the sizes are great too. You get your moneys worth! read more

We are out-of-towners thus, accordingly, asked around town what folks thought to be the best food around. The consensus was clearly Monical's. Easy to find and easy parking, we made our way in where we were greeted by super friendly staff who were very helpful going through the menu with us. We took their recommendation on a pleaser for two and ended up getting a custom 12 inch pizza and drinks for $16. The food was fantastic! I'm personally not a fan of thin-crust pizza, but this was topped exceptionally well so I did not mind. The sauce was good, not too sweet. The sausage well seasoned, the mushrooms and onions toasted but still soft. Overall the pizza was not very greasy either- a plus. The setting is dated, but very towny, clean and good for groups. My booth was comfy. The friendly staff and tasty pie earned this a 5 star from me. I can see why the locals love it here! read more

Monical's Pizza Centralia - Monica's in Centralia - Pizza Near Me - Centralia, Illinois

In my opinion Monical's has the best pizza anywhere around. They cook it the old fashioned way in an oven that is tended by a person -not run through on an automated belt. Pizza is thin crust and crispy. They have several specialty pizzas available. Salad is fresh - not bagged and treated. You can't go wrong dining at Monical's. read more

We always go back to Monicals when we go home to visit. The family pleaser is a large pizza and a large bowl of salad and is plenty of food. The thin crust pizza is the best in town. I am also a sucker for their garlic bread with cheese. read more

We had a large party go eat there. The workers were very efficient and great with checking on making sure we have everything. Only complaint is that the tables were sticky. Maybe needed a good thorough cleaning. Other than that salads were on point and the pizzas were very good. I would highly recommend this place. read more

Loved this place! We were so hungry we couldn't focus on the menu, and very helpful, friendly staff talked us through a perfect order for our family. One of us is vegetarian. All of us left satisfied. I would go back to Centralia just to eat here! read more

Monical's Pizza is a small midwestern chain that bought out the old local favorite Pizza Man. This business gets a Midwestern "3 stars" although if I compared it across the country it's more like 2 or 2 1/2. The pizza is pretty good, a nice very crispy thin crust...the exact opposite of Chicago-style pizza or Zachary's in Oakland. Toppings are your very standard ones...nothing exotic here. Salads are iceberg lettuce with shredded cheese and bits of tomato. Dressing is the finest Kraft can put in a plastic bag. Extra-sugary French dressing is delivered in vast quantities in a squirt bottle. The locals (I used to be one) like to eat it on crackers. Service is friendly and this place specializes in quantity. Definitely nothing adventurous but the best pizza in Centralia. read more

My first time trying Monical's Pizza and it's not going to be my last!! I was Impressed by the Greetings from the staff upon entering-smiles and a noticeable positive Spirit in the air!! The Pizza was Delicious,I got it to go and wish I'd ordered appetizer!! Wow!! Was the Pizza Good!! When I'm in the area I'll make by priority to stop in and try other meals on the menu!! read more

We are just passing through the area, and decided to stop in Centralia for the night. We were in the mood for pizza, and I saw the good reviews. This was one of the BEST pizzas we've ever had. Our toddlers rarely eat pizza, so we ordered them spaghetti and that was awesome too, but when they were done with that, they ate pizza too! We would 100% eat here again, and I kinda wish we had one back home in South Dakota! Can we make that happen? read more

Pizzas were delicious. Driving through and stopped because my husband wanted pizza. He had the Deluxe, son had a cheese pizza and I had the Orphan(town mascot) . All were great! Glad we stopped. read more

Bought spaghetti for take out. Got home and it wasn't even a quarter of the way full.. very disappointing especially after I waited about 8 minutes for it. read more

This is probably the best mom and pop pizza joint in Centralia. I remember when it was a small building called Pizza Man. We use to go here when I was a kid after every baseball game. As years went on I even took my own daughter here. The pizza is thin crust. All the toppings are nothing special, but they are decent. Salad is not bad. I can remember getting sugar rushes from the Mr. Pibb from the tap. Service here is fast and pretty friendly. The place was always packed out when we would go. Even during lunch it is pretty packed out. If you enjoy a good sit down meal of cardboard thin crust pizza you can't go wrong. Get the Family Special. It's worth it. read more
