My grandma doesn't like thin crust pizza. She likes an edge crust so she can put butter on it. My grandma doesn't like corn meal on the bottom of the dough while pressing it. My grandma doesn't like pepperoni pizza because it's too greasy. Basically, my grandma likes cheap, $5 pizza. Except when I showed up at her house with a Monical's Large Pepperoni pizza. "Wow, this smells good!" "Look how big that pizza is Warren", exclaiming to my Grandpa. "How are we going to eat all of that?" We got her a plate, a bit of Sprite, and I've not seen her eat like that in years. "Wow, this is good!" "Warren, this is good pizza", talking with her mouth full. We get near the end of pizza and she says "I didn't even realize this was pepperoni." "And there ain't any edge crust for me to put butter on it; I didn't even notice!" And with that, I knew we had a winner. My 92 year old Grandpa and my picky 90 year old Grandma love Monical's. Monical's for the win! read more

It's ok. It's not the best pizza place and it isn't the worst. The service is fast and friendly.

I have to give credit where credit is due. Monicals is amazing! Their pizza is good - not great (However I greatly prefer it over Pizza King) - but what is really amazing about Monical's is their customer service. On one of our last nights in Indiana we went out for a family meal at Monical's (the bfs favorite pizza place). We were guests, so we didn't plan the adventure, but we were the first ones to arrive. All we could really tell them is "uhm...we're going to have a large party" well that large party turned out to be about 25 people, and poor little Emily had to take care of us all. Emily was SUPER AWESOME as far as servers go. People were splitting checks left and right and orders were bouncing out from around all over our little section in the corner (as well as a bunch of kids running around enjoying a night out). Emily kept her cool and composure and was extremely nice and plesant the entire time. She had no problem splitting checks, did so correctly, and given the high volume of people she was dealing with drinks were always refiled within an appropraite time. Now onto the pizza, like I said Monical's isn't my favorite pizza place - but there's nothing wrong with them. I love their pepperoni pizza covered in their french sauce. Add on a family pack of breadsticks and some nacho cheese (for super large parties; that breadstick order is huge) and you are good to go! Until next time Monical's! read more

Monical's Pizza - Gluten free pizza was delicious if you don't want a pizza with gluten I highly recommend - Pizza Near Me - West Lafayette, Indiana

The food was fantastic. We started with breadsticks and garlic bread which were both great. Then we each ordered a personal thin crust pizza's that were both made properly with a great amount of toppings. Service was great and would definitely recommend dining in. read more

Very tasty! We ordered on thin crust and one pan pizza in order to satisfy different tastes in our group. The online ordering system was easy to navigate. Our pizzas were both delicious and satisfied everyone. They were very accommodating. When I arrived to pick up my order I realized I had left home without a mask. Others were all masked up going in so I called and asked if they would bring it out to the car and they were happy to do so. read more

No. Just don't. The thin pizza here used to be fairly decent, but the quality has declined significantly over time. They use frozen crusts that taste like stale saltines. There is barely any sauce on the pizza, and so you have to pay for extra to get any at all. The managers shout in anger at the employees, and the entire restaurant is a huge, dramatic production. Stay away. read more

Monical's Pizza - Burnt edges, no sauce. - Pizza Near Me - West Lafayette, Indiana

Love the Family Pleasure Pizza combo! Also enjoy the chicken pizza with the salad and breadsticks!

The pizza might be good but the service is awful. Slow, slow, slow. The place can be practically empty and it will still take forever to get your food. If you crave Monical's definitely do takeout! read more

I've only tried this place once but WOW was the pizza good! I highly recommend it. I ordered it online and for pick-up. When I picked it up, I was a little concerned because it was basically in a paper bag. I was annoyed the entire way home only to be pleasantly surprised that the pizza was secured on cardboard and wrapped in foil to keep it hot. It was delicious! Best pizza I have had in the Greater Lafayette Area. Monical's will be my family's go to pizza spot from now on! read more

Pros: Yummy sandwiches, delivery and carry out available, best breadsticks! Cons: Salad seems bagged Order at the window, have a seat and someone will bring you your order. You have to flip through the menu at the window, so I don't know why they don't just come to your table and take your order at your table like most places. I can get over that pretty easily though, it's no biggie. I love their sandwiches, and their ham and cheese comes highly recommended! They have thin crust and pan pizza available, and I always prefer a thicker crust so I go for pan. My favorite things about Moncial's? Their breadsticks! They are like a cross between traditional breadsticks and soft pretzels. They are soft, warm and topped with a light coating of salt much like soft pretzels. Yum yum yum. All in all, a great place to grab lunch in WL! read more

Delicious alternative to the thick/stuffed crust pizza you get at most other pizza joints. The crust is thin and crunchy, if you like that, this is the pizza place for you! My favorite is pepperoni with banana peppers, try it! read more

The time spent here was way too long. It took an hour and a half and it wasn't that busy. Waitress took over half an hour to take our order. Then our pizza was given to someone else. We ordered breadsticks and they came after the pizza. The pizza we received was not ours so another one had to be made. We will not return to this location. read more

A three-star review that should be a 4, but cannot. I liked Monical's Pizza, and their thin crust was especially delicious. However, they have this strange gimmick where they don't use pizza boxes, but instead put your pizza on a cardboard tray and slide that into a large paper bag... I wasn't a fan. They do this as part of an eco-friendly stunt, but I don't buy it. If I was that worried about the environment I would probably just make my own pizza thus eliminating the waste, the CO2 emissions of driving my car or getting it delivered. Also, just a note, they do this thing were they put about three of those little plastic stands on your pizza to keep the bag off the hot cheese. But, if you're trying to save the environment, which is good, is it a smart idea to use a handful of plastic, not biodegradable stands in lieu of just a pizza box? read more

Absolutely love the pizza from here. Great for the whole family as they also have gluten free pasta and pizza options that taste great.

I never knew about this place while I was at Purdue since it's hidden in a little strip mall that's a little out of the way. But when I came back for a visit, I came here for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. My previous favorite place in town for pizza was Schlotzky's, but they unfortunately have closed. This isn't quite the same, but it's still pretty good. They've got a good deal during lunchtime on personal size pizzas, and my BBQ chicken pizza had a thin, crispy crust and nicely flavored sauce. If I lived in town, I'd definitely be back more often! read more

Decent pizza, but so overpriced! Surprised they stay in business.

Went tonight and ordered 2 pizzas and a salad and never got our food or were even acknowledged after getting our drinks. Yes, there was a large group but they already had been served. And, yes, our pizzas were gluten free and take longer, but we come to Monical's because they're usually relatively quick with the GF pizzas. Two couples seated after us got their food and were done by the time we needed to leave. Very disappointed. read more

I ordered a pan pizza and the bottom was burnt. I have had the thin pizza before and I didn't like it but I wanted to give the pan pizza a try. There were good flavors but the bottom of the pizza being burnt ruined my experience. I don't know if I'll go back. read more

They have great pizza. If you like a lot of toppings the individual pizzas are the best deal, $5 for a personal specialty pizza. Or if you order online at hungryboiler.com you can find some decent specials. read more

Many people have recommended Monical's to me, and my husband enjoys it. However, I don't see the appeal. The thin crust is ok but the cheese is so greasy and the toppings and sauce are flavorless. I felt really heavy after eating this pizza. read more

I've had this pizza on one occasion, and I was pleasantly surprised at its tastiness. The crust is very thin, but nicely crispy. The sauce has a nice flavor to it. Note that these are very thin pizzas, and the toppings are not piled high. You might need to order more than usual because the thinness means it is not as filling as others. I would definitely order from here again when in town. read more

We love Monical's pizza! It's the kids favorite pizza place in this entire world (according to the kids). Wish you guys would open one in Blacksburg, VA read more

I love their pizza and breadsticks. Everyone at Purdue always orders Hotbox or something, but I always make sure to order from Monical's. Their service is really great and I love how nice everyone always is. read more

The food was good and the delivery was fast, however, when we got our bag it was leaking everywhere and caused a huge mess. Also, we weren't given any forks. Probably a good restaurant to eat at or to get pizza delivery from, but the pasta delivery has some problems. read more

My girlfriend and I went to Monical's for the first time tonight. We both liked the atmosphere, and were quickly seated and brought our drink order. After the waiter brought our salad, things rapidly went downhill, however. 50 minutes later, we didn't have our pizza, our waiter had not come by since he took the salad away 45 minutes ago, and the couple who arrived after us had gotten their order, eaten it, and were leaving. When our pizza was brought by a waitress (not our original waiter), it had pan crust, instead of thin crust like we had ordered. The waitress didn't even bother to apologize for the wait. Too hungry to wait longer, we ate it anyway. As we were finishing, our original waiter came by to explain that "things got crazy in back", despite the fact everyone else got their pizzas while we waited. He was then absent for the next 20 minuted while we waited for our check. When he finally appeared, we had been charged for the pan crust pizza, an extra $4. After explaining the mistake to him, he did change the order and even took 50% off, but by then it was too little, too late. While the food was very good, earning the 2 stars here, the service was abysmal. We are both tolerant people and would have forgiven the wait if our waiter had come around even once to apologize and check on us. We would love to go back to Monical's for the food, but we will not be doing so at this location. read more

Monicals is a great joint if you're looking for thin crust, square cut pizza. Their seasoning is unique, and their pizza is great. They also have a lot of really good sandwiches as well. read more

I ordered a cheese pizza for delivery a couple weeks ago, it was mostly cheese and bread. I could not taste the marinara sauce at all. I called to try to get them to send me another pizza and take the one I had back but they would not do it. I was disappointed as I spent over $20 just to throw the pizza away. read more
