It's A-OK, it's good. Â Clean dining area, clean men's room, nice friendly staff. Â This location offers dine-in, delivery, and to-go. Â Modern casual atmosphere. Â Lots of booths. Free Wi-Fi, ask for password.
The prices on the basic cheese pizzas look decent, but by the time you add the toppings in, it gets expensive. Â There is nothing wrong with the pizza, it's good, but at these prices, it's worth the drive down the street to 62nd and Allisonville Rd to patronize WB Pizza or Some Guys where, for the same price, you'll get pizza that will wow you, and you'll be supporting Mom-and-pop restaurants instead of a chain. If there's a long waiting line at those two places, then come here.
On second thought, if WB and Some Guys weren't so close I'd give Monical's 4 stars.
Has a patio for eating outside.
Stopped over after a movie a couple of months ago. Â Waitstaff was very pleasant despite the fact that we walked in 30 minutes before closing.
Thin crust pie was the best I've had in a very long time. Â Perfect amount of sauce, cheese and toppings. Â Really enjoyable. Â Not typically crazy about chain restaurants, but we like our pie that night.
I gotta whole lot of nothing to say about this place. It's very blah and forgettable. Â Nothing special but the offering of a gluten free dough. And that wasn't too special either. Servers didn't really care whether we were there or not. They were busy with their own conversations. Skip this place and just go to Pizza Hut where you know it's good. My friend says other Monical's locations are better. Whatever...
Review Source:It's a cut above CiCi's or Chuck E. Cheese, but a cut below... well, everything else. Â Maybe equal to Pizza King.
The pizza itself apparently isn't frozen since you can order your own toppings or customize a specialty (though substituting toppings is charged as an addition), but the toppings, particularly the onions, peppers, and mushrooms, taste as if they were frozen at some point in their life. Â The pan pizza crust isn't bad, reminding me a litlte of the pan pizza crust from Pizza Hut back in the '80s and early '90s.
Overall, skip it. Â Go for Papa John's or Marco's if you want a chain, or Bazbeaux if you want inimitable, awesome pizza.
Monical's Pizza is great, and I've enjoyed it for years (although from the Tuscola, IL location). Â There is something odd with this location though. Â The food is great, but their online ordering and delivery needs looked at. Â I tried to order online today and it said that they were closed for delivery and pickup until 4:15 today. Â So I called and they were able to take my order, so it was just a little odd that I couldn't do it over the internet. Â Also their delivery range is so small I don't think that they deliver to anyone. Â I live about a mile and a half from the location, but they don't deliver that far. Â Also find that odd. Â Overall though, it's good pizza, and I don't really mind driving that far to get it since it is still pretty close.
Review Source:SUPER cheap pizza! Pan style, thin crust, and regular. You cannot beat the prices here, and they have a great topping selection, including buffalo chicken, yummy!
Other than that, the menu is pretty standard. The pan pizza was really fluffy and the crust wasn't too flavorful. It also took a long ass time to cook. I would choose Bazbeaux instead if you're looking for something original.
This new addition to the Monical's Pizza franchise has been open about two weeks now. Situated on the back of the former Glendale mall, this could remain a bit of a secret for a while without a big PR push.
This was my first experience at a Monical's, though I had heard good things. The place was largely empty on this Saturday night, but seemed to have steady carryout business. I appreciate that the television sound wasn't played at a deafening level (ahem, Brothers). Â I ordered the breadsticks with nacho cheese and a deluxe pizza.
The breadsticks were good, not great. The nacho cheese was nothing to write home about either, but serviceable. The pizza, however, was pretty good. A very thin crust really let the toppings stand out, especially the mushrooms. I'll definitely be having the pizza again. Not sure about the breadsticks, though.
The service was very friendly, although I still had the problem that is all too common when eating in a restaurant that's not too busy: the server disappears for a while. To their credit, another staffperson saw my empty drink and took care of it for me. I was meh on the service until the end. My waitress sent me off with a fresh cheese refill for my breadsticks in the to-go box! This won me over. A bit strange they didn't provide me a copy of my credit card receipt and I heard another table complain about this.
Overall, a fairly strong first impression. We've been in need of a decent pizza place in the Glendale area, so I'm hopeful this is going to be the one.
