Came in to eat with a friend and ugh this place can do so much better. Pros - Food was great as always Cons - Service was AWFUL!! There were only two or three tables, but the waitresses (there were two) were basically non-exsistent. - Breadsticks were a bit tough and stale/dry. - A few tables had trash that hadn't been picked up, and just looked a little messy. read more

Monical's Pizza - Meat lovers - Pizza Near Me - Lafayette, Indiana

Monical's is a chain. I haven't visited this location before. Called up for a take out order. Good service and decent pizza. The pizza is cracker thin with only a tiny layer of soft dough, which I like but this was on the dry side. The staff were efficient and helpful taking my order over the phone. Monical's isn't my go to spot but is ok for something different once in a while. Service 4.0, pizza 3.0. Old school pizza in a bag 5.0. Breadsticks 3.5. Located in a strip mall anchored by PetSmart, near SR 38 and US 52 Sagamore Parkway South. read more

Updating my review after 8 years (8!) and Monical's is still one of my favorite places in Lafayette for lunch. The dining room is so nostalgic and fun, many interesting items on the walls to enjoy. No matter where you are seated you will enjoy the decor. The individual pleaser on the lunch menu is a good value and a delicious lunch. It's just the right size salad and pizza to satisfy your hunger without making you feel too stuffed or sleepy to return to work. Try drizzling the famous red dressing and ranch on your pizza, that's how I learned to eat Monical's pizza when I was first introduced to it 20 years ago in Illinois. You can purchase the dressings in bottles to take home. As always, service is friendly and fast. read more

This restaurant is actively deceiving there customers when they order online, when you type in monicals the first thing you see is the store front with a red delivery car with monicals all over it, so I ordered online and the first thing was you have to order $20 dollars worth to get delivery and my order was a little over $18 so I orderd extra stuff that i didn't even want to get the order over $20, my order after everything was $33.00 which includes a $6.00 delivery charge, so I tipped $3.00 which means I actually tipped $9.00, after I ordered I used monicals tracker and it said it was going to take over an hour and remember I already tipped the driver, then I get a different way to track the order and I find out that they are using doordash, if I wamted to use doordash I would have used the doordash site which I hate, so this restaurant is not forthright about a third party delivery like doordash, I called the manager expressing my concern about the deception and ask for my money back on my card, she told me online orders say they use a third party delivery service but I didn't bother to look for a disclaimer because the picture of there store front showed a monicals delivery car so why should I even look for a disclaimer, I told her it has been a hour and a half amd still didn't have my delivery and stated again I wanted my money refunded and she told " I will refund you money and they are still supposed to deliver my order and they will never take a order from me again", so I asked the manager their name and she refused to give it to me because I was going to file a complaint with the better business bureau, and I am corporate would like to know her name so they can actually come a police the Lafayette monicals, I have never had a experience like this in my life and I do not intend to let this matter rest until that manager is fired and the address the online deception. read more

The sausage and Pepperoni with mushrooms was great. And had plenty of sauce - zero complaints. However the Margherita pizza we ordered - was not a true Margherita pizza. The tomatoes are diced and the mozzarella is just shredded cheese and there was zero basil taste. And on top of all of that the pizza was Kind of dry tasting. We ordered take out so nothing to say about inside or service. read more

First of all this is only my opinion , my husband thought the pizza was fine . I did not . The crust was hard as a rock it seemed like an over cooked crepe not a yeast dough ,the pepperoni , an extra cost, was sliced so thin you could see through it ., ditto the mushrooms chopped too tiny and both toppings being so sparse they barely contributed any taste . Ok that's the bad here's the good . We ordered chicken wings and they were perfect . Well seasoned well cooked that even I ,rarely more than a 2 wing person ,had 4 . read more

Really good pizza, when they get it right. I like the flavorful thin crust pizza. However, if you're trying to feed a family of 6 and they all like different things, you're gonna need to take out a loan for dinner. read more

The pizza for delivery used to be great -- hot, fresh, and delicious, but that was a long time ago. I recommend that you shouldn't order delivery unless you want chewy, cold pizza with hard, inedible crusts. We have given Monical's more than enough instructions and chances, but we're done. Restaurants go from great to good to bad, and this place seems stuck in a rut it will never get out of. read more

Got curbside pick up a few weeks ago. Service was great; they were more than happy to drop it off in the trunk of our car and take payment over the phone. The pizza is a good size, thin crust, and great toppings. We went for the vegetarian option, with a half-and-half pizza. Will be going back! read more

I LOVED Monical's pizza. Gang shit. The Jaquan's pizza was elegant, and the sausage and mushroom was delightful. Nadia was our waitress, and she was amazing. 10/10 would come again. read more

The best pizza ever. Even their worst location is better than any other pizza place in IL. Breadsticks with mild cheddar. Salad with sweet n tart. Thin pizza. Get it all. read more

Food = Really good for a basic pizza place. 4/5 Service = 0 stars!!!!! Just ask for the manager. The employees act like it's their 1st day, too busy gossiping and talking to each other or on cell phones. Also act like they're sooo stressed, it actually rubs off on some customers. I've never in my life, EVER, seen so many employees mess up the simplest things and then act like they have no idea how to fix it. Ugh! Very frustrating as a customer. I can be in a mood for their pizza but end up deciding to order elsewhere due to not wanting to deal with the staff. It's that bad and I would imagine embarrassing for the company. read more

I have eaten at multiple Monicals location, including West Lafayette and Delphi. I love their pizza and it did not disappoint in this case either. What was disappointing was the condition of the restaurant. Walked in at 6:30 on Monday. We're the ONLY people in the dining room eating in. However, half of the 8 booths were covered in dirty dishes despite the place being empty. The employees were standing around talking to each other rather than bussing tables. They remained dirty the entire time we were there. Every clean booth had people seated at them while we were there and NOT one of the dirty tables were cleared while we were there. The floor and several tables were also littered with food. The place was a mess. Again pizza was good, but no refill on my drink the entire time I was there. The dine in experience was very disappointing. read more

The very best thin crust pizza available anywhere. Staff is the best. My wife and I have been eating Monical's Pizza for over 50 years and we love it. read more

First time trying this place and will definitely come back. Was greeted after walking in and seated immediately. All the young people working here were friendly and professional. Server was attentive, and the thin crust pizza was great. I had the 12" Deluxe. It was seasoned well and the crust had a perfect crunch just like I like it. After putting up with crappy attitudes and service in other places lately, Monical's was a breath of fresh air. read more

amazing service, we were greeted and sat within 2 minutes. the food was great! our waitress was fantastic she was super nice and friendly. we came all the way from Kansas for the GNCC race and that was the first restaurant that was friendly and welcoming! read more

I was told "there's two ways to eat Monicals" : my boyfriend told me to sprinkle some cheese on it, let it melt and munch. His friend told me dip it in the sauce. Sorry boo, your friend was right. Pepperoni and sausage with bbq sauce and that dipping sauce was awesome! We got the family platter which came with a huge salad (too big for 3 people). I was told to steer clear of the bread sticks here (apparently Pizza Kings are better), but was more than sold with their thin crust pizza. Delicious! read more

Monical's has delicious pizza, but they take forever to deliver. I ordered at 6:45 and they are still "Preparing" my pizza at 7:50. My estimated delivery is for 8:55. 2+ hours seems extreme for a pizza. read more

Went to Monicals with husband for a quick bite. We each tried a pan pizza, I picked the chicken ranch and husband picked a meat one I think? Taste was good, ingredients were fresh. Service however was not good. We were told our pizza would be done within a certain amount of time, we got there early and it was still not done by about 10 minutes after the time we were told it would be done. Employees really didn't seem interested in customer service, and we stood at the counter waiting for someone to come and check in on us. It seemed our pizza was just waiting there. Very disappointed with the customer service. Prices were reasonable. The dining room seemed kinda run down, not updated. They should really focus on their customer service. read more

Food is almost perfect every time, but if you call I almost always get some entitled dimwhit with an attitude. This time they messed up my order. Love monicals pizza but I find myself not ordering here cause of the twats that answer the phone. read more

The pizza delivered from here has taken a sharp nosedive. What was once hot and fresh has become chewy and barely warm. The cheese is of poorer quality and is greasier. Don't bother with this establishment. I have taken my business elsewhere. read more

We got this pizza delivered while staying at a hotel nearby. Their number was on the channel guide. What a nice surprise! Their specialty seems to be thin crust pizza. It was awesome. I got an 8" Italian Special variety, which was sausage, onions, green olives, mushrooms, and Italian hot peppers. My lips and tongue are still tingling. The ranch we got on the side was delicious as well. Best of all, my pizza was $4.99! Could it be there's a college campus nearby? read more

Try the house dressing ON the pizza! It's amazing!

The best pizza in Lafayette hands down. Love the tavern style! I'm from Chicago and this is the closest thing to my old neighborhood pizza I've found out here! Excellent service too! Hands down the best pizza around! read more

Better than average thin crust pizza from Chicago pizza snobs.... friendly service both on the phone & delivery boy...came all the way up to our hotel room for the delivery (stayed at Holiday Inn on South Street in Lafayette - the front desk didn't recommend this one) but thanks to yelp we found it. We read all the yelp reviews for all the local pizza spots and considered delivery vs pick up and utimately went with Monicals - perfect choice! Overall good taste, good quality ingrediants, hit the spot! read more

The pizza here is good - if you could ever get them to actually give it to you. Service is consistently awful. I went there on a Friday night and literally waited over an hour for one pizza. They have a little back room -but I recommend you don't sit there. Your waitress will leave and not come back. The pizza is OK, but definitely not worth the hassle. read more

Ahhhh .... a pizza made with hate. Delicious. This place needs to work on being kind . It's the little things that count . read more

One of my relatives had this pizza catered in just finished eating cannot reiterate how good the pizza was the crust was crispy even the bottom was crisp and not limp from being undercooked or too greasy. Right amount of cheese on the pizza too. Maybe could have used a bit more sauce but wasn't a big deal. I am from Chicago where we gave great pizza and this place is right up there with Chicago pizza. I will absolutely be back here next time I am in Lafayette read more

I order their delivery on a fairly regular basis. Their pizza is excellent. I order thin and it is crispy and flavorful. I have also eaten in the restaurant. It is clean with good service. read more

We love the thin crust pizza, favorite pizza in town. Generous with toppings, sausage is wonderfully flavored. Salads are very good. A little pricey but worth the money. read more

Gotta love the cracker crust. The hot peppers (pepperoncini) are so good, especially with the ham and black olives.

Pan pizza was pretty good. Side salad was fine but nothing out of the ordinary. Breadsticks were terrible. I actually watched them take them out of the freezer/refrigerator and then microwave them. They never saw an oven. Worst breadsticks I have ever eaten. read more

I loved the food and especially my waitress Abi! Such a delightful young woman with an amazing personality. She will be the reason for our family returning in the near future! read more

Wow, worst service ever in any food service establishment I have ever had, I can see the employees not caring Enough to give 100%. But where the heck are the managers in the evening hours when it gets busy. And these cell phones, what is so important when your at work. The customer comes first, the damn cell phones can wait until later. I would of gave a 0 star but of corse it's not an option read more

Just stopped with a bus load of high schoolers on our way back from Ultimate Centrals in Mason Ohio on our way back to St. Cloud MN, ordered ahead. The pizza were ready just shortly after we arrived, their thin crust was Fantastic. Great job by the staff. read more

Just got a veggie pan pizza delivered to me. Pizza dough was tasty and the veggies were perfect! Also, the delivery boy was very nice. Would definitely order from them again. I will update my rating once I try them a few more times. read more

Not the best service along with a semi burnt crust that resembled shoe leather when trying to chew. Never again. Sorry Monical's!

Got this again last night. Tried the thin crust and I just fell in love. The best thin crust ever. It was crispy and the toppings were beautiful. These people know how to make pizza. You need to try if ever in the Lafayette area. read more

Everytime I visit Lafayette, I always make the effort to visit this place. LOVE their pies. It's strange to me even to this day that a lot of the midwestern pizza joints, particularly a large number of them in Lafayette serve their pies with square cut servings. I don't give a damn what someone else says when these pizzas aren't' cut "right" because that's what makes the pizzas unique here... read more
