Grampa's Pizzeria

Last week I had friends from out of town visiting Madison and I suggested we go to my favorite local pizza place : Grampa’s . Cannot believe I had not left a review as I have been coming here for years and they have been my go to take out pizza place . I have brought friends , family and business colleagues here . This is not your traditional pizza place . It is not thick crust , it’s not deep dish and it’s not Neapolitan . All of which I enjoy , but this place is unique . Not only is the crust thin but the toppings are specially crafted to create a memorable combination of flavors . From their menu I have had every pizza flavor . Each topping has been selected and all go so well together . Seasonally (depending on what’s in season) they offer a unique flavor , like summer corn or fall turnip . Tonight we chose Jambroni which I always add their chicken sausage and the Barbarini with extra watercress on top . Best part about the offering here is the availability of gluten free crust on the menu . When dining in the staff is exceptionally friendly and know all about the flavor combinations. When doing take out the service is fast and I have never experienced any delay . On occasion they have a shortbread rosemary butter cookie which is given at the end of the meal and it’s so tasty . Five stars to this institution of specialty non traditional pizza in Madison .

Gluten free and regular pizzas are delicious and the red blend wine made it all even better. Nice cozy place, but make reservations because it is small.
