Ian's Pizza Garver

My wife and I have tried almost every pizza place in Madison and we love ❤️ Ian's. We hadn't been in a while and we decided to write a review about how great it was the other day it was when we had delivery. Ian's across-the-board is one of the best pizzas for the price and taste that you can get. Of course this is my opinion people like different kinds of pizza. Some people like deep dish some people like New York style excetera excetera. I would compare Ian's to New York style pizza. It's very thin and very large pieces. It's the kind of pizza that you can fold in half. If you know what I'm talking about then that's all you need to know. We love their 20in cheese pizza. The slices are huge, like out of a cartoon. It can easily feed a family of four, no problem. The cheese blend they use is incredible. It's stretchy and slightly salty and wonderful. It goes great on every pizza. Their red sauce isn't overly sweet or too spicy. It's a perfect balance in the middle that appeals to everyone. Their crust is my wife's favorite part. It's not cracker thin, more like new York style that's thin enough to fold while you eat and the end pieces are chewy and yummy. You can even buy the dough to make your own pizza at home, which is a great deal! My wife absolutely loves their Buffalo chicken pizza. It's spicy and yummy and sprinkled with creamy bites of blue cheese that cools the heat. One of our favorite parts of Ian's is that in the restaurant you can buy pizza by the slice. This is great for a few reasons. First, their slices are huge so you only need one or two to fill up anyway. Second, they have so many different types of pizza (like mac and cheese or loaded potato) that would be great to try, but you might not want to order a whole pizza in case it's not your favorite. It allows you to try out some new flavors without committing to a whole pizza. We also love their breadsticks. Their made from the same dough as the crust so they're thick and chewy, dusted with parmesan and Italian seasoning. They're massive as well so it's a great deal to order for a large crowd. We love Ian's and order it everytime we have company since it feeds a crowd and it's a huge crowd pleaser.

First time tried Ian’s pizza and absolutely loved it. Love the vibe of the place and I liked that they had both indoor and outdoor seating at the Garver Mill location. There were so many unique flavor combinations of the pizzas. I like that you can order pizza by slice so you can try different kinds. I enjoyed the Mac n cheese, Penne Alfredo, and All the Veg. Each one of them were so good. Will be back here again to try the other combinations if pizzas. The service was top notch!!!

I love this place. Garver is beautiful, they hit it out the park. I’m so stoked to ride my bike here. So, what’s up with the one star? I love bier and draft bier at that,so if you’re gonna serve all these cool taps you gotta pour ‘em in a proper pint glass. Do that and you get 5⭐️. At least you have some good biers in cans. ♻️

Great pizza, of course! However, they are shockingly slow, like consistently 45 minutes later than estimate, and there is some disconnect between online order instructions and what the on-site staff seem to think is the right process. For example, text said to call 5 minutes before arrival for the "finish bake" but staff acted like we were stupid when we mentioned it. Oh well, good thing the food is with the extra trouble! :-)
