I had Ian's for the first time on Monday night after a concert at the Orpheum. I got black bean burrito--black beans, rice, cheddar cheese and chicken. Although the toppings are not at all Napolitano, it was really good and the crust was right on--chewy and crusty with a little char, correct-sized bubbles and great flavor. They had buffalo chicken pizza, veggie stir-fry pizza, etc. behind the glass. It all looked pretty good, but I bet a regular old Margherita from there would be awesome.

April Fools!

Bacon. I mean come on, do you really have to ask?

Peaches/apricots/other stone fruit--not so weird, but also not something most people think to put on the grill.

@goosegirl: Thanks for the report. Wish I could hop a plane and try the mac-and-cheese slice. It's gotten such a surprising amount of love here in the comments.

guess what I make a living out of them. I do product development for a certain brand in asia. But eversince I started working on it, I stopped eating them at home. C'mon give me a break, they're everywhere at work. =) I want to eat something else. lol.

I'm not sure if you're familiar with fried sardines but they're great on toasts and on rice as well. One can eat it right off the can or bottle (yes, there are bottled sardines). But for the tomoto sauce based sardines, I'd rather heat them first and add some lemon or a bit of soy sauce.

Glass Nickel may be in the process of overexpanding. They've now got six locations and are apparently opening a seventh in Brookfield. It seems to me that the Fetalicious was always a bit too soggy, but my old favorite the Santa Fe had gotten noticeably worse over the last couple years (less BBQ sauce, dry and tasteless chicken). I hope not, but for me the point is pretty much moot since I moved out of the Madison area last month.

Speaking of weird pizza toppings, my wife brought home a chicken cordon bleu (I think--it might have been something equally improbably) pizza from Casa Bianca on Junction Rd once that was just fantastic. The Glass Nickel version was too heavy. Never been to Ian's.

I've had this slice. Their quesadilla pizza is more exciting. It's for those times you can't decide between quesadilla and pizza; just have both!

I was a little hesitant to try this pizza (raised on "normal toppings" and only started branching out a few years ago), I had it for the first time a few weeks ago and it was DELICIOUS. Didn't even have to be drunk to appreciate it's yumminess.
