    Monical's is another "must visit" when we are in Illinois. Good pizza and we buy their salad dressing in bulk. Staff is always pleasant.

    The food is delicious! Unlike a certain pizza chain restaurant nearby, the pizza crust tastes and…read moresmells like fresh baked bread. We also like the house salad and the lasagna is wonderful. I can't wait to go back.

    Make sure and read all of the negative reviews. They are probably the most objective and they hit…read moreall the highlights. Disclaimer: this visit was on Mother's Day so we understood that it would be crowded with longer wait time. First time in restaurant. The tables are packed claustrophobic tight. Or table was smack up against the side of the salad bar. I was afraid my hair would get in the lettuce. Every time someone walked past our table they bumped into the chairs. Payment is No cards, cash/check only and this info is NOT published anywhere but on a notecard taped to the cash register which was blocked from view as we were seated. Not on the door, not on the website. I see it's here in the comments on Yelp, but I had poor signal and didn't do a review search, just looked at the website. Poor treatment by owners - attitude was not "I'm sorry for your poor experience" but "I'm sorry you're complaining, get lost." Carry out orders and friends and locals seemed to receive priority service. Mediocre, overpriced food. "Baked" pasta dish was runny, mozzarella barely melted, meat sauce with barely any meat, way too sweet. Garlic bread with very little garlic. Pizza crust was hard, flavorless, over cooked on edges. Sauce (to me) has a weird chemical-like taste. Toppings were not fresh, mushrooms were canned, pizza was under cooked in the middle. Wait time - it was one hour until someone told us it was ready to come out in a couple of minutes..... then it actually was another 30 minutes or more later, during which the waiter avoided us like the plague until we flagged him down and asked when our food would be out, then another ten minutes after that. After reading reviews, it would seem that the time deception is a sanctioned tactic. Finally, after going to the car, retrieving an old checkbook, and writing a check with a generous tip in spite of the deficiencies, we politely expressed that they should publish their payment policy and how wait time was misrepresented. Received a very curt response. Left an honest comment on the community fb page and was threatened, cursed, and called every name in the book by most of the friendly "locals." But hey, social media, right? The rudeness on a busy day could have been easier to forgive if everything else had been five star, but the food really isn't worth the price and the wait. And jeez, Monticello....I'm afraid to drive through town, much less eat at this restaurant again.

    FYI- This pizzeria DOES NOT DO APPPLE PAY…read more You can use your credit card. Maya (May-Yah) was really nice and kind as our waitress. She sat us by the window which was a nice view of outside. We all ordered the tortilla soup and it was ok. It was more like a puréed soup with some shredded chicken. This place is huge and spacious and a lot of seating with a lot of tv screens which aren't as loud as other pizzerias. One an actually have a nice conversation. The moment came for the thin crust pizza and it was phenomenal omg the big size sausages are to die for.

    I had two extremes for their pizza, the thinnest, and the thickest... and I enjoyed both!…read more Stumbled upon this spot when I was in the area, and I am happy I went! Coming in here, it was not too busy inside and we were seated right away. We started with some wings initially, and were then intrigued by the "Fried Garlic Butter Donuts". The wings were good, though everyone really enjoyed these fried donuts! Essentially fried dough, we were recommended to get this with the Nacho Cheese sauce, and oh man... this was a good way to start the meal! For the main course, we got the All American Thin Pizza w/ Bacon, and the Super Stuffed Pizza. The 2nd pizza is a Deep Dish pizza with extra cheese inside! Note that this pizza takes about an hour to prepare, but the wait is well worth it! Both pizzas were delicious in completely different ways. The thin pizza had a good crisp and just the right amount of cheese, sauce and flavor! The Super Stuff Pizza was very cheesy and I definitely needed a knife a fork to cut and eat it. It was VERY filling and every though we were a large group, we still took food home! Overall, if you are craving pizza in Champaign, this is one of the places to check out! Depending on your preference, I'm sure you will find the type of pizza that you like!
