Staying overnight on a trip to Minnesota. Found this place on Yelp and it looked good. Definitely did not disappoint! I was surprised to learn this is a "chain" (we don't have them in the South...yet!). Great service. Started with a house salad; pretty standard thing, but perfect size and amount dressing. Plus I prefer a "cold" salad and this was just how I like it. Ordered a thin crust deluxe. Crust was just right and definitely wasn't like a typical chain. The toppings were plentiful. The thing that always separates an "ok" pizza from a "real" one for me (beyond crust) is the sausage. Real Italian sausage here, and the hot peppers topped it off! And price wise it's pretty inexpensive. Wish we had these in Tennessee! A very enjoyable experience! read more

Ordered a pizza for pick up. Wasn't very happy with the pizza. It did not taste fresh. The pizza itself seemed like it had been reheated.It was edible but we've had better pizza from Monical's. So aggravating When you look forward to a good tasting pizza and you didn't get it! Come on Monical's you can do better! You're expensive to begin with!! read more

Monical's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Decatur, Illinois

See all

The pizza and salad were amazing!!! The staff were very friendly and attentive , making sure we had everything we needed. The restaurant was quiet while we were there; apparently we had missed the lunchtime rush. read more

The pizza I grew up on is just as good as I remembered. The thin, crispy crust is really quite unique, and I love the opportunity to have green olives on my pizza. One of the best things about Monical's is their French dressing. It's a thick, sweet flavor that makes iceberg lettuce actually taste good. I love it so much I also put it on my pizza! Service was a little slow for the number of guests, but the food was worth the wait. read more

Monical's Pizza - Pizza with sausage, pepperoni, green olives, green peppers and ...French dressing! - Pizza Near Me - Decatur, Illinois

Disappointing..... Good service and salad but the pizza was burnt, not hot with cheesy goodness and tasted old not fresh at all. I had not been here in some time and this is the most disappointed Ive been in this Monicals considering Ive been eating here for years.... Please do better next time pizza was not good..... read more

Right away we noticed that the parking lot was unusually empty for the supper hour. Once we got inside, we saw the reason why. There were several orders waiting to be picked up or delivered. When we were led to our booth, the hostess set down our menus and plates. As we were sitting down, we noticed our table had not been wiped off. We looked around to find another booth, but they were either occupied or dirty as well. Our server was very gracious, helpful, and apologetic about having to clean our table. Since the bulk of the sales were coming from takeout and delivery, there was only one server running the dining area. All in all, she did a great job. The pizza was good and we enjoyed our salads. My wife loves the Monicals red dressing. We even brought home a bottle for ourselves. read more

Monical's Pizza - Thin Crust Pepperoni and Italian Sausage - Pizza Near Me - Decatur, Illinois

Best pizza in town. The quality and the taste is superb. You can dine there. They have home delivery. They have a large varieties to pick from. Please come and enjoy read more

Majority of the tables were dirty upon arrival, hard to find a table. Breadsticks are hard. No fresh pizza, maybe a few slices out. Salad bar missing egg and other items. Dirty and disappointing. Not worth $12 maybe $5. read more

In town for a funeral, so we decided to make dinner easy and order pizza. Several people recommended this place. It was out of the way from where we were staying, but being a Yelp reviewer and not one to shy away from trying new things, my wife and I decided to swing out of the way and pick up pizzas for everyone. First of all, pizza was pretty pricey compared to what we've gotten used to in Kansas City. But we're not locals, so maybe those prices are the norm here. Second, when we got home with the pizzas, three were supposed to be pan pizzas but they made them thin crust like the fourth pizza we ordered. Also, on the deluxe pizza, it said peppers and onions, but we really had to search to find them on the pizza. They did put a massive amount of green olives on the pizza, which I had never seen on a pizza before, which made for an extremely salty-tasting pizza. As far as the mess up with the crusts, I did call in about it, and they asked me if I wanted them remade or a refund. Since we were a bit of a way from their location and the ones in the house that don't like thin crust were exploring other dining options, I opted for the refund. Much to my pleasant surprise they did it right there on the phone immediately, apologized for the mistake profusely and sincerely, and told me to have a good evening. Not "I have to get a manager for this" and then some person talking circles around the real issue with offers of coupons or "Next time you're in......" They fixed it immediately! Speaks to great customer service. Because there's always going to be mistakes made in the food business; how they fix the issues is what separates a good business from a bad business, and these people stepped up and owned the issue. Great job! The other two pizzas we purchased that didn't have the green olives.....fantastic! Not a piece of pizza left at the end of the meal. I was the one who loves thin crust, and the crust was perfection. The next time we are in Decatur, I will not hesitate to return here. read more

Overpriced buffet bar during lunch. No cinnamon pizza desert on bar. Lettuce is not 'shredded' Monical's style. 16.79pp for lunch.

I asked for light sauce, they put extra on my pizza, my breadsticks were as hard as bricks & my delivery driver ( Chris) Mt zion illinois store appearance was very dirty read more

Monical's North cancelled our delivery for a second time! Since it happened before, I called when we placed our order to ensure they weren't so busy that they would cancel us and close again. They assured me our order would be delivered. Not only did they cancel us, but the manager, Mindy, said their delivery person came (we have a 120 lb dog who alerts us to EVERYTHING, and our front door was standing open). Mindy also said she called 3 times and left a message. Neither me or my husband have any missed calls or messages. We'll never order from or eat at another Monical's, and I'm contacting the general manager. read more

Love their pizza I love thin crust pizza and they go to the edge of the pizza with the ingredients. I like the way they cut the pizza in small squares. read more

We waited for our food (1 pizza and a couple sandwiches and 2 salads) for 50 minutes. We were told online orders were prioritized before us. Won't be eating here again. read more

Service was good. We ordered breadsticks with the cheese dipping sauce. I wasn't too fond of the breadsticks. They had very little flavor but the cheese sauce helped. We also the mighty meat pizza which was pretty amazing. read more

Monical's Pizza - a pepperoni pizza on a pan - Pizza Near Me - Decatur, Illinois

Third time I've been there and it gets worse every time. Locals like it but it's just an average pizza place. Thin crust is good, service is good, ambience is loud. Besides, who cuts a large pizza into 32 slices? Not looking forward being drug there again. read more

Today was excellent service , great selection on salad bar, pizza. My kids love dessert cinnamon pizza. Staff was very friendly and attentive read more

Despite the overall sense of chaos behind the counter and the look of "Help, I'm lost" from the host they manage to produce. Cracker thin crust, good toppings, just skip that silly french dressing and you have a pretty good pizza. It's a bit expensive, but oh well. read more

First time I've ever been to a Monical's. Ordered the new steak lovers pizza. Very Good. Pretty much had to waddle out the door I got so full. My wife and two boys also enjoyed their meal. Service was exceptional. Little pricey $$, but well worth it. read more

The lady who gave me my food had several track marks on her arm. Probably why they gave me the entirely wrong pizza and no French dressing

Fantastic lunch buffet! If you like Monical's, you'll love the buffet at this location. For under $10, you can get all you can eat salad, breadsticks, pasta, and pizza. The salad portion also has some of the best potato salad I've ever had, along with two types of puddings for your sweet tooth. They kept the hot, fresh pizzas coming; there was never a wait for them to replenish the bar. We mentioned to a server that we would love to have a few slices of sausage, bacon & jalapeño, and in just a few minutes it was on the buffet. The dessert pizza was pretty good. The salad was fresh and crisp, with lots of cheese, and of course we enjoyed that famous Monical's french dressing. We have been to several other locations, but we definitely recommend this location, and we will stop by anytime we find ourselves in central Illinois! read more

Ordered pan pizza + salad by delivery. It was hot, fresh, fast, tasted excellent and included plenty of condiments. Friendly staff too. Very pleased and would gladly order again. read more

We had a 10" Canadian bacon & pineapple . It was good but not exceptional. Also had salad, which was a 3-4 star also. read more

Thin crust, fresh, and oh so delicious! Doesn't matter how long I've been away, I always have to have my Monicals fix when I come back to central Illinois. Warning: Be aware that during high school football season, expect slower service on Friday nights - you also will probably have to wait for a table (it's a beloved local hangout for families and teams alike) read more

I would say this is just an average pizza place that's a little over priced. The service was great and they had a nice tv but the carpet floors were a little gross but the food wasn't bad. read more

Well... When we got there to order the waitress was very road the lunch buffet was bad no plates bread sticks were hard burnt only ham pizza then we were waiting for plates it was 45 min then we were waiting for dessert pizza there was none but when I asked it took them 45 min to get that out then brought out more ham pizza read more

The only good thing was service. Food was bland yet smelly? No thank you. The guy on the phone was a doll though

They tried to scam us by making our total higher which we knew was incorrect. We ordered 3 pizza's, one pizza was incorrect, salad dressing was incorrect, one drink was incorrect. Wouldn't recommend again. read more

Every time I travel to central Illinois, I must stop at Monical's. They have the most delicious French salad dressing, which is their house dressing. It's bright red and very tasty. The pizza is really good - normal crust, good Mozzarella cheese. read more

Great pizza. Thin crust, lighter on toppings/sauce/cheese than other pizza, but if that's not your style, get the point pizza. Extra cheese, toppings, and sauce. It's my fav. read more

Is there a better thin-crust pizza out there? I don't think so! I have been eating at Monical's, and most often at this location, my whole life. Their pizza has become a staple growing up, and I often demand a Family Pleaser every time I return home from out of state. Every pizza needs a side of breadsticks (with cheddar cheese) and French dressing to dip it in! If you are in any area with a Monica's Pizza, do yourself a favor and stop for some deliciousness. read more

Had over the top customer service today at lunch from what I can only assume was the manager. Sadly I didn't catch his name, but his desire to please was extremely impressive! Thank you for the outstanding pizza and service! read more

I've been here twice, and have order both thin crust and hand tossed pizza. I have been highly disappointed both times, with not only the food but the service as well. The food isn't terrible but for the price, it should be much better. I personally would rather eat Papa Johns or Pizza Hut pizza. However if your looking for something with good deals, the Monical's in Shelbyville Illinois has an all you can eat meal for $7.99 I believe with few refills on Wednesday night. read more

Don't know of many pizza places better than Monicals. Pepperoni with French dressing!!

I ordered the thin crusted pizza and apple pizza dessert. Thin crusted pizza is good but not the apple pizza dessert. I had to say it is a very creative idea. However, the apple pizza is topped with so much brown sugar and it is terribly sweet. Although I like sweet things, this apple pizza is too much for me. read more

Good pizza and salad. Interesting ambiance. Pretty much exactly what you'd expect from a small chain pizza place, good but not spectacular.

When ever I go back home for a visit, I have to visit Monicals at least a couple of times. I took my husbund for the very first time, and he loves it too. Soooooo good. read more

Food was great but service was lacking. For the buffet the server brought out our drinks and that was the last time we got service.

Every time I go in there they said I have no service they will not give me my right pizza every time the piece is burnt before it's busy all the time and they have very very bad service like they came around and told me that your piece will be done in about 10 minutes and two hours later I got my pizza I do not expect that I will go somewhere else read more
