I just had a slice of Ian's mac & cheese pizza (Chicago location) on a whim today. I've been in love with this slice since I was in college and would make the trip from the University of Minnesota to Madison, it was my one requirement while visiting. Also, you definitely do not need to be drunk to enjoy this slice, it's amazing in any mind state.

Also, check out http://thisiswhyyourefat.com/ as the mac and cheese pizza is featured there today, 7/6/09. This slice is definitely worth the calories!

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!"

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!

Glass Nickel used to be our standby in Madison until we discovered Pavlov's thin crust pizza. Unfortunately, Pavlov's can be a little lax on opening on time (or even at all), which can be frustrating, so our new favorite is Pizza Brutta on Monroe, especially if you eat it immediately. Thin crust, awesome local ingredients. Superb.

@BangieB: I think the "Fetallicious" is a rather unfortunate name for a pizza, considering the possibility for a misread on that name.

Matt - in my opinion, Glass Nickel has gone way downhill. We've dubbed the Fetalicious the "Wetalicious," because of all the liquid the tomatoes leech out onto everything. Though, to give you a context for my opinion, I always thought (and still think) that Falbo Bros. has the best pizza in Madison.

You're probably right, JudyH. I just changed it. Yiddish is not my first language ;)

I received a test recipe for last week for a pork stir-fry lo mein that ended up being really good.

I a no-roll pizza bianca, too, but it calls for portabella mushrooms and taleggio cheese. Looks interesting, but not sure I'll have a chance to try it. Not to mention, could be tough finding the taleggio cheese around here...

Still nada for me too. Why did I do wrong? Do they just hate me or something? I know I can be very opinionated sometimes...

:-(

I'm still waiting to get one. I feel so left out.

Yay! I got my first recipe to test - it's a No-Roll Pizza Bianca with Caramelized Onions and Gruyere. Sounds good!
