Nothing good to report this visit This restaurant has a hit and miss Meaning sometimes the pizza is really good and sometimes you wished you would have ordered a pizza from somewhere else. Cannot report on service due to calling the pizza order in and picking it up. read more

The pizza tastes good. The service was good and the restaurant is always clean. Cons. They never put enough cheese on the pizza. Even when you specifically ask for extra cheese. I suggest ordering from Pizza place on Main in Harristown. read more

My go to is the bbq chicken pizza individual pleaser. I love to dip the pizza in their house French dressing.

Great place, great service, friendly people!! Pizza is always great and delicious as are the salads!

While I didn't have a chance on my trip to try the authentic Chicago style pizza, I did have a chance to try Monical's pizza and their famous red salad dressing. I guess Monical's is known for their thin crust pizza, but we ordered the Point pizza, which has a thicker crust and is triangle shaped. We actually ordered the "Family Pleaser" meal which was about $20 and included a pitcher of soda, a salad, and a pizza big enough for the four of us. The salad was covered in cheese, a bit too much for me! The red dressing was good, sweet and tangy, but if you put too much on it was too sweet to eat. The pizza was great! We had pepperoni, mushrooms, and olives. The pizza on it's own was really good, but dipped in red dressing it was even better! I saw signs for Monical's all over Illinois while we were driving from city to city, so this is definitely a chain, but I can see why people like it! Much better than the chains we have here in Cali, i'm looking at you, Pizza Hut and Dominos. read more

See all

From out of town, and we tried this pizza - HOLY SMOKES it is one of my favorite pizzas ever. The crust is thin and crunchy, square cut, delicious seasoning sprinkled on top. It's amazing. The pizza comes in bags not boxes- pretty neat. If you're in the area try Monical's! read more

Over priced pizza that has lost its way from being decent pizza. I just can't bring myself to dining in or delivery, anymore

Giving a 2 star because the Manager at the South Shores location has a bad attitude, snips back at you, and doesn't care that they messed up the last two orders I had there. Needs training, and would help if he was a people person. Will be going to Lulu's from now on. read more

Have loved Monicals for years but the past few years the quality and service has gone down hill. Arrived at 6:50 and did not get our food until 7:45. One Pizza came out with 2 pieces missing , spaghetti was cold, lemonade was just water. Half ass apology from the manager and minimal reduced on our bill. Needless to say we not be back. read more

Delicious pizza. The salad dressings are a bit sweet but good. Ordered pick up. Clean place, had it ready when they said it would be. Zero stress, good food. Will order again. read more

Growing up in Decatur, IL, I have an appreciation for Monical's pizza. I actually think that electric orange French dressing runs through my veins (well, that and some of the scary Lake Decatur water). So when I come to Decatur for the holidays, Monical's pizza is one of the first things on my "to do" list. For those of you who haven't had the pleasure of eating quite possibly the best pizza in the world, Monical's is thin crust pizza. It's similar to St. Louis style, but without the Provel cheese. Quite honestly, it's the best of both worlds. They also have green olives as a topping option- yessss!!! Finally, the best thing about Monical's is their French dressing. This electric orange goo is the "piece de resistance" to the pizza. I don't eat French dressing on any other pizza...just Monical's. And it's delicious. I've treated out-of-town friends to Monical's and gotten mixed reactions. But any true Decatur-ite knows and appreciates how great this pizza really is. read more

I've been away from Decatur for about a month now, and I already miss Monical's Pizza. The thin crust is so awesome; it's truly a good balance between dough and toppings. I had never dipped my pizza in anything besides ranch dressing prior to moving to the Midwest. There's something to be said about their sweet and tangy French dressing. Wow. My first time dipping in to that was truly an eye-opening experience. If you order ahead from Monical's, be prepared for a longer than average wait compared to Papa John's or Little Caesars. The staff takes awhile to fulfill the orders partly because of the sheer volume that they have to handle, but also because of the quality and care they put in to ensuring that the product is actually good! read more

Very very very very very very very very good food I will definitely eat here again very good service very good people I will come here a million times if I could the quality of the restaurant was absolutely good read more

I don't get what all the rage is with Monicals pizza. Compared to Del Carmens it sucks. Waaay too much pepper. You have to dip it in that stupid sauce just to get some kind of flavor. But I will say that its a good place to go with a big group like after a ballgame or something. Many good times have been had at Monicals. read more

For a stinky little blue-collar industrial town, Decatur sure does have some fame-worthy eateries. Monical's Pizza is the third-best thing in Decatur, after Krekel's burgers and Del Carmen's pizza, respectively. Monical's mastered the thin crust pizza in a way that I have never seen replicated. So crispy and delicate, it's practically pizza on a cracker. read more

The lunch service is nice but a little slow for my liking. Plan for it to take about an hour or more to get your food and have time to eat it. But the pizza and salads are excellent! No complaints about the food! read more

This location has been torn down. There are still two other options to have Monical's in the Decatur area though. One is out by Forsyth and the other is in Mt. Zion. Always great pizza!! read more

So if we are in Decatur for one meal - Krekels or Monicals - Krekels or Monicals - the kids will work through the debate and will pick one or the other. We now have Monical's locally and the hometown version in Decatur if slightly better. Thin crispy and good. read more

I have been eating at Monicals since I was a kid. Used to spend my Friday nights there in high school. Always good food even when they mess up because they will bring you another pizza and you can keep both. Yum! read more

We "used" to love Monical's. We live out of town but come to Decatur twice a year and Monical's is a required place to eat. Tonight changed that for us. We ordered by phone and were told 30 to 40 minutes ( we stay 5 min away). After an hour i called to check on status. They just said would be there soon but would not state a problem or seem to care that it took so long. We got it after 70 min and it was cold. Tasted aweful when cold. Seems they need better customer service ....should have offered to make up for the delay and the cold pizza. read more

Great thin crust pizza and great family environment! The salad and breadsticks are just as good :) Highly recommend!

There pizza is the best around plus dip your pizza in their homemade French sauce and magic happens inside your mouth. To die for!

No sauce on pizza an sorry $20 for a thin burnt crust pizza. Wow no thank you. Service was good but bottom of pizza was burnt black.

Excellent service, even though busy. Pizza was excellent. Friendly staff. Difficult parking due to construction and design of the lot.

Delicious food! Love the buffet! Such a great place to be and eat! I just wish they were cheaper!

"Chicago-style pizza" is overrated. Try Monical's thin-crust line and see what you've been missing.
