Mac and Cheese Pizza: Ian's Pizza, Madison, Wisconsin
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!

@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.

This is my first post and the reason behind it is that I had Ian's mac and cheese for the first time on Friday night and after frequenting this site for months, I had to chime in.
The mac and cheese was not on the counter, you had to ask for it - it was the most unique, comforting, and surprisingly delicious slice of pizza I've ever had. Consumed on the street on a cool day after a few pints of delicious Goose Island beers, nothing has hit the spot quite like that pizza.
For most food in the Peoples' Republic of Madison, I'm a fan, however the service is usually quite poor. But after having Ian's and Dotty's hamburgers this weekend, all I can say is "Go Badgers!"

Ziti pizza is a standard at T&R, on Amsterdam Ave. in Manhattan...
...and on rare occasion, spaghetti pizza shows its face, too. What the folks at T&R were thinking when they first put pasta on pizza, I've never asked, but the pizzeria is just south of a stretch of spilling-onto-the-sidewalk bars.

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 live in Jersey, which is hardly 'odd' pizza country, and I've seen baked ziti (tomato sauce, pasta, cheese) on pizza many times.
I haven't injested such a slice, but the mac n' cheese just seems like a 'white' pizza version of that...who knows who got the idea to think 'hey, pasta is Italian! Pizza is Italian! The two must go together.'
