Food was alright one of our pizzas was slightly overcooked, the waitress was kind, place was clean enough.

I have been eating at the Rantoul Monical's since I was a child. Even though I've eaten here for 40 or so years, until a couple of weeks ago, I'd only had pizza. A couple of weeks ago, my wife and I decided to expand our horizons and ordered something other than pizza! She had the spaghetti and meatballs, and I had the meatball sandwich with a small side salad. Not to sound condescending, but we were pleasantly surprised at how good they were. During the week we are at our house near Chicago, and we drive down to Rantoul on the weekends to work on houses we are rehabbing. Hence, we are spoiled with Chicagoland Italian restaurants. So, not to sound like a jerk, we weren't expecting much from the non-pizza items. I'm very happy we tried something different and will definitely sample the other items in the menu in the future. read more

Monical's Pizza - Sausage, black olives, mushroom, and pineapple thin crust - Pizza Near Me - Rantoul, Illinois

They have amazing pizza! Mimi was great. Such a nice person. We love this location. Worth the drive.

Amazing simple thin crust pizza with a great crunch! Prices were reasonable and friendly service too.

I've been going to Monical's Pizza my entire life (since the late 1960s) yet never thought to write a review until today. Rantoul's location is my favorite. Today I was served by Danelle whose name tag said Shift Supervisor. She was such a joy, which is a blessing on any normal day, but certainly on this rainy day during a pandemic. I had the spaghetti with meatballs, salad, garlic breadsticks and a Diet Pepsi. I also ordered a large pizza with sausage, green olives and onion to go. Service with a smile and happy energy, plus delicious hot comfort food in comfortable surroundings safely set up for social distancing while upbeat '80s music played. A win-win-win-win! read more

love the thin crust pizza with french dressing on top - take home a bottle too! wish they had more locations read more

This used to be the definitive local pizza place. Five stars all the way in the past. Recently it has fallen off hard. Often the pizza is poorly cooked, either burnt or not cooked all the way. The service for dine in is hit or miss, but usually poor. There's no reason to pay for a premium pizza to have something lower quality than Domino's come to your door. Still love the salad dressing and the ingredients would still be fantastic if anyone knew how to actually cook a pizza read more

Food was decent but staff was not very well mannered and they liked to talk a lot about people in general but over all it was 3 stars for me . read more

In 1985 I was in the Air Force going to school at chanted afb. I'm retired from service now but always remember the highlight of my stay there for 6 months was a thin crust pepperoni pizza my wife and I will never forget. I heard from a friend it is still there and he did confirm they still made an awesome pizza. So from Orange County California we thank you for our survival!!!! Had pizza all over the world from my travels yet nothing beats MONICALS PIZZA in Rantoul IL!!!! read more

Great Pizza very friendly staff Clean atmosphere we will go back thy had fast service read more

Give distinct ordering when placing your order over the phone. To many times, I have received a not so good pizza

Always unbelievably good! Fresh food, friendly delivery driver, and of course the whole meal was delicious

If I didn't love the Pizza we would have stopped coming here a long time ago! Last night we waited about 3-5 mins to be seated when there was a group of employees doing nothing but standing around staring at us. I don't mind waiting if they are busy but there was no reason for it last night. Once we we were seated I waited another 10 mins to get greeted at my table. I was able to finish the entire sudoku on the placemat before I even put my good order in. Our server was nice and took care of us but very overwhelmed with the number of tables she had.... Plus, she was the one answering the phone as well. Topped again with more employees standing around. One employee went to leave for the night and screamed good bye to her other besties in the lobby. I was sitting in the back and know exactly what she said. Management needs to get their act together. Lots and lots of rude and unprofessional employees. read more

How to start? Got to Monical's at 7 on a Saturday night. Waited 5 minutes at the hostess station to be seated and the restaurant was fairly empty. The hostess gave us a fine table and was super friendly. And it stopped there. Really! We waited another 10-15 minutes for ANYONE to take our order, offer us water, acknowledge our presence, something! Nope. Several servers were cleaning other tables, sweeping the floor and reorganizing chairs throughout the restaurant. Not one noticed a table of 6 people. Other customers received their food, so somehow a server noticed them at some point. Finally, we just got up and left. And NOT ONE SERVER NOTICED! So I can't rate their food because how would I know? We did have a wonderful dinner....somewhere else. read more

Ordered delivery to the hotel I was staying at while traveling for work. Food was burnt to the point it was inedible. read more

Pizza perfection! Although the toppings were not evenly distributed, as you can see, the pie was yummy! The salad was just right--crispy lettuce bed, flavorful tomatoes, and cheddar cheese on top. Service was on spot! read more

Monical's Pizza - pepperoni, mushrooms, and cheese - Pizza Near Me - Rantoul, Illinois

Quality pizza just as expected. Miss having Monicals since I've moved to Chicago and appreciate that this location didn't disappoint when we stopped in on our way back to the city. Had a regular sausage pepperoni. It was terrific ! Other reviewer who stopped for a sandwich sounded disappointed...maybe they didn't order the right thing ...it is a pizza restaurant. read more

One of the best places in rantoul to get pizza in general but they have the best thin crust pizza ever!!!

Terrible, rude service. Do not recommend. Also, an employee had her daughter in there, screaming at her the whole time we were eating. Will never return again. read more

We have been here for over 30 minutes and we haven't even gotten our drink orders and two other groups haven't even gotten their orders either I would give 0 stars if I could would not read more

Didn't think I would like it but turns out it was really good especially the pepperonirolls

It is never as good as Paxton or Urbana ! You have a 50-50 chance it will be ok ! It's never great there !you would think they would all make the same pizza but that's far from the truth go to Paxton for a great Monical's Pizza or go to rantoul to get very disappointed ! read more

Yep, Chicago pizza is always a hit if you can get it right, and these guys do a pretty decent job. The lasagna was quite good, we'll thought out and would order it agsin. There were a few things missing from the mine for me, but overall not the best Chicago style I've ever hsd, but they do a good job with their food and there's no complaints here, go for it. read more

Looks so much better after their remodel! Servers are great, however, the management team here is very uncaring. The female manager in there was just cussing up a storm in the back for all to hear in the diner, but when you say something to the others in charge they don't care one bit. The management team has no respect for the customers. read more

When I had to come up to Chanute AFB alot for work, I'd eat here and Papa Del's alot. The two types of pizza are worlds apart - Papa Del's had great super-thick crust; Monical's had great paper-thin crust. Both yummy! Monicals is nice and cheap for lunch. read more

The food is okay, especially the pizza bites. However, service is slow and the GM needs a lesson in food safety. We went in to get pizza and the guy handled money and then food without washing his hands. My husband called him on it and he said "whatever man" and went back to touching food with dirty hands. If this is the GM, I'm sure the cockroaches are the least of their worries. read more

Tried Rantoul Monical's again! This place has went down hill so bad! Never consistent! The crust is always burnt, you have to order extra sauce or u can't even see they put any on. We eat at St. Joseph, Gibson City, and Mahomet's monicals they are all much better! Rantoul better change because word of mouth is happening. The Mang. Team is not like they have had either, needs a whole new lift! read more

Monical's Pizza - Typical Rantoul Monical's! Won't go back! - Pizza Near Me - Rantoul, Illinois

Yummy food but takes awhile to get your pizza. If you have patience then it's worth the wait. They have awesome service in Rantoul & nice waitresses also. Highly recommended! read more

Great pizza. Probably the best place to eat in Rantoul. The staff and managers are always really nice. I would give 5 stars but they would need to start delivering to Gifford. I love on 136 and watch Other pizza delivery vehicles go by several times a night. read more

Pizza is delicious. Service is pretty good for the most part. Two drawbacks here, one-they don't deliver until after 4 even though they are open for lunch. Two-When you enter the restaurant, the doorway hits you with a very odd, very strong odor. Smells like a nail salon. It is a very strong odor that can give you a headache or make your stomach turn a bit. :-( read more

There was terrible service and I didn't see a waiter for the first 45 minutes. We waited in the waiting area for 30+ minutes waiting to be seated. Once seated, we had to ask to see a waiter another 20 or so minutes later. The food wasn't anything extraordinary and not worth the wait. I also heard several complaints from other customers about the terrible service while waiting for an eternity. This restaurants needs some major improvements before I even consider returning. read more

My first experience with Monicals made me a huge fan. Their breadsticks with cheese sauce are the best! They are famous for their salad dressing too. Pizza is good too, but I fervently love their breadsticks and always fill up on those first haha!! They are clean and nice on the inside too. read more

Monical's does their whole menu superbly. The salad is fresh and delicious and that coming from a guy who normally doesn't eat" weeds". The pizza is the best there is. Their red (french) dressing is worth buying by the bottle for use on pizza or the salads. This Rantoul location Excellent place to eat. Out of town guests of mine always want to eat here before they return to their respective states. read more

Ordered 6 ($145.28) worth pizzas on Friday, October 14. Undercooked. Toppings were sparse. Disappointing usually get better quality from Monicals. read more

I have been eating at Monicals since the late 1970's and the service has gone down hill quickly the last few years. For the whole restaurant, there is only 1 waitress who is running her butt off, which makes the service there very very very slow. The pizza's are usually cold due to the time waiting and their prices have gone thru the roof. We don't go there any longer. Rather drive into Champaign or Paxton to experience good pizza, fast customer service, and a much more friendly staff. I don't blame the waitresses, I blame management for being $$$ hungry. read more

We stopped here after driving 2 1/2 hours, just wanting a quick and easy meal so we could get right back on the road. We ordered 5 sandwiches, 4 individual salads, and 5 soft drinks, and one of the sandwiches was a BLT. Easy, right?? WRONG. After waiting for a server to take our order for nearly 15 minutes, 45 minutes later and two inquiries to our server (Nick) as to where our food was, (after which he decided to ignore our table completely and avoided eye contact), we made a complaint to the manager. We told him we would be leaving in 5 minutes if our sandwiches were not on the table in that time, and he actually had the nerve to tell us he couldn't promise that, but he'd check on the ticket time and find out what the delay was. Really??!! Needless to say, 5 minutes passed and no server or manager appeared with our food, so we left money for our drinks and salads, walked out of the dump, and hit the McDonalds down the street on the way out of town. Need a little refresher course on customer service, people. I'd give 0 stars if I could. read more
