Reviews for Grampa's Pizzeria in Madison, WI
Stellar service. Fabulous food. Gluten free/sensitive friendly to boot. They even sent some cookies home with us for the kids at... home a gratis! That kind of kindness and authenticity coupled with the atmosphere and the I repeat excellent food is what keepsus coming back. Looking forward to our next visit. If you haven't been, go. Read more
Great pizza, environment and staff. I came in for takeout and the guy who took my order was cool-enough to bring it to the bar... next-door when it came out earlier than expected. Didn't get home with it for a good 3 hours, but a few minutes in the oven andI had the best pizza I've had in months. Read more
The food was great. We had the roasted veggies, beet salad, and 3 different pizza's. My favorite was the shortbread cookies they... gave us Togo. It's great they use fresh ingredients from there garden or locally sourced. Our server was very good andexplained the menu to us as it was our first time. 4 instead of 5 stars is because we waited at our table for a while before aserver finally cam e. Read more
Absolutely phenomenal salads of roasted veggies and beets and greens. The pizza is phenomenal. Great texture, great flavor.... Super fresh and creative. The ginger cake is out of this world. On a subsequent visit we got a different pizza, that wasequally delicious. You won't be disappointed Read more
Fine dining! Wait staff really made our dinner special with great suggestions and unobtrusive service. Delicious food!
Went here for a special date night recently and was blown away by the service and food! We had the cheese board which was... pleasant, went for two pizzas which we ate so fast I couldn’t take a picture, and finished with the sticky ginger cake. Iwould highly recommend visiting when you get the chance. The staff was fantastic and the restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere.It’s also right next to a bar in a house for after-dinner drinks!

Overall super cute ambiance. We got the cheese board. As a home baker, bread was meh. Why not serve warm? The cheese board was a... little pathetic given the price. And sliced cheese? Come on … felt they were more worried about appearance of board (which waspretty) than quality. We got half/half pizza. The bacon Brussels pizza was good …. Pork belly didn’t live up to the hype.And pairing pork belly AND regular bacon it felt overwhelming. Pick a meat and do it well. The other half was the one withpeppers and arugula. Everything was good expect the red sauce. Very tasteless. Had so many flies over us, landing on us, thefood … we asked waitstaff for help. But in the end it was so annoying we didn’t stay for dessert. ***** flies happen, soI’m not blaming them for that. Overall, i had a great time but I’m not sure if that’s because of the wonderful company Iwas with … or the restaurant. If I were looking for flavor, I wouldn’t go back. Read more
Food is pretty good! Delicious thin crust pizzas with options to customize. Good wine selection/recommendations. Cheeseboard... was just OK, and arguably some of the other apps could also have a better description on the menu, plus portions are generallysmall for price. For example, Calamari was not what I'd call a seafood dish- more of a peppery, greasy, olive/pepperoni dish. Astrange take on the classic tomato/calamari combo. Unfortunately we did not like the ginger cake either, largely unimpressed.The cake crumb was large and dry with a consistency closest to cornbread, overly sweet. Maybe it was a fluke based on otherreviews. Should have tried the mousse since it's light and leaves less room for error. Read more
