Passing through Princeton on the way home to Naperville, we stopped at Monical’s for pizza today. It was the first time we’ve been to this restaurant. I didn’t realize it’s a chain restaurant mainly in central Illinois. Walking into the restaurant there’s an area where you order and pay for your food at a small counter. They give you a number and you go into the restaurant and choose your own seat. A staff member will bring you your order. My husband and I each ordered a small side salad, which was cold and fresh. It had cheddar cheese, tomatoes and carrots on top. My husband and I each ordered pizzas. He had a larger thin crust sausage pizza and I made my own small veggie pizza with spinach, mushrooms, and black olives. We ordered our pizzas to be cooked crispy. I like that they had a chart to show you the different levels of doneness on their crusts. The crust was cooked perfectly crispy when it was delivered to our table, just like in the photo. It was piping hot when it came to the table which I loved. I was so surprised how good this pizza was. I can honestly say this is the best thin crust pizza I’ve ever had. Tammy took care of us by bringing our food and drinks to our table and checking on us. She was very friendly and engaging. It was a pleasure to have her wait on us. I could tell she liked what she did and that she really cared that her customers had a good experience. She’s a definite asset to this restaurant. I’d definitely go back if I was ever in the area again just to have this thin crust pizza. I recommend stopping at this restaurant and giving their pizza a try. You won’t be sorry.

Very friendly service. Food was good and hot. Salad was fresh. The creamy Italian dressing is very good. What more could I say? Oh yes…they even gave a fresh drink to go…no extra charge!

Food was good, only one server on shift from what I saw, she was very nice and trying her best. Food was good light on the pepperoni for the price. Atmosphere was more like a kids after sports pizza joint

I ordered out. The pizza was, as usual, delicious and the service was friendly and fast. They even seemed busy when I went to pick up my pizzas and they still were friendly and fast. I’d recommend Monical’s to anyone who wants pizza made fresh, delicious, and with a smile!

Two appetizers and four beers was ridiculously expensive and they were out of half the beer we asked for.

I grew up on Monical’s Pizza, in Pekin, Illinois. The food and service are still as good as I remember, from the 70’s and 80’s! Our server, Brian, was wonderful! Very friendly and attentive. A+ all around.

I always love coming here because of multiple reasons. You have food I can eat such as, you offer gluten-free pizza! However, the biggest reason why I love coming here is the staff! Brian and I used to work at Casey’s together. He works hard, fun to work with and an all around genuine guy. The waitress, I’m sorry I forgot your name, you are always sweet and making sure everyone is good. All the employees are polite and kind. You all work hard and I appreciate it. Keep up the great work.

The food tasted good but was overpriced for what it was. My son got the kids mac and cheese, and it is a $4 bowl of Kraft. Our waiter had a hard time remembering to come to our table for refills or taking care of any issues. We did not address with management as he may have just been having a bad day, but it did hurt the level of service.
