Love GNP but today ordered one parbaked so we could eat when my husband got home from golf. Just opened the box and pizza looks good except there's no cheese on it. I didn't specify cheese because we like their standard mix, but I definitely didn't say "no cheese". Fortunately I had some in the fridge to add but very disappointed. Not the usual service.

I've been coming to Glass Nickel for longer than I can remember. Every time I'm back in Madison, it's on the list. Some trips it basically is the list.
The specialty pizzas are the reason. Our house favorite is the Fetalicious, which manages to be meatless and still the first thing everyone reaches for. On Halloween we ordered the
Portabella Lugosi and the Boaris Karloff, two pizza puns that fully earn their capes, though I'm told the Boaris has since been retired. Pour one out for Boaris. Today's pickup was half
Cardiac Arrest, half Santa Fe, which is a pretty good summary of the menu: one half of the box daring you, the other half surprising you.
The pizzas are fun to order and better to eat. The crust holds up, the toppings are generous, and the specialty combinations actually work instead of just being weird for the sake of it.
I'm not going to claim any of this is healthy. I'm claiming it's delicious, and that after all these years and a lot of pizza, this is still the first stop when I hit town. If you're in
Madison and you want a pizza with some personality, this is the place.
