Best pizza place in Madison! My fiancé and I moved here a little over a year ago and fell in love with this place. We don’t eat out much, but we make a point of coming to eat here as often as we can afford to. Very fresh ingredients. Fast service but it does get extremely busy for dinner on the weekends and seating can become limited. Love how the pizzas are the perfect size to have a whole one to yourself without needing a to-go box.
Grateful for the friendly staff and excellent service, food.
Pizza Brutta is a combination of booth seating pizza joint & Chipotle style ordering. I ordered a Nostrano (basil,sausage & roasted red peppers) with red onions added. I also ordered a Caesar salad & a glass of the Tuscan red wine to enjoy during the wait. I took my table card number & we settled into a booth. The wine was, surprisingly, excellent. The salad was brought to our table quickly and the silken dressing enveloped each leaf equally with a couple slices of toasted pizza dough atop (in lieu of croutons). Within 8 minutes or so our pizzas arrived together. The edge crust was beautifully blistered in Brutta’s woodbrick oven with a very thin crust on which a a well balanced grouping of the toppings merged. The pies are personal size and are more than enough for an individual. As a born & raised denizen of New York City…Pizza Brutta is an absolute winner! I’m so happy to know when I visit & want reliable old school pizza…I’ve got PIZZA BRUTTA!
It's been a while since I last went to Pizza Brutta! I have to say I was disappointed with the caprese salad as it used to be amazing!! Nothing like it, thin slices of mozzarella cheese, and a very poor amount of pesto, which is also NOT the same as before. My friend was also disappointed about the Quatro Frommaggi Pizza. It really needs MORE cheese!!
This is my favorite pizza in the city of Madison! The crust is perfect and their margarita is outstanding. Decent pricing, and a nice selection of drinks, both NA and alcoholic. A must try whenever you find yourself in the area. Delicious.
