Latest Buck's Pizza news and reviews

JM gave Buck's Pizza a B-; Carlos and Nichole gave Buck's Pizza a C; Amanda gave Buck's Pizza a C- (see our grading rubric).

Buck's pizza reminded us all of frozen pizza, though it was admittedly a little better. Their lack of topping choice, however, was disappointing - sure, jalepenos could be called a specialty topping, but pineapple and Canadian bacon? Please! So we ordered some second choices and JM went to pick up our order. Their storefront put modest storefronts to shame with its modesty There was room enough to sit and wait but nothing more.

While the pepperoni and black olive pizza was OK, the sausage and mushroom suffered from canned mushrooms and erratically spiced sausage. Amanda wrote that the very small square pieces were "Interesting! ... only not interesting at all." Pretty much.

One cool thing about Buck's was that our pies came in nearly folded paper bags so we didn't have to deal with bulky cardboard boxes. Stacking the pizzas would have been tricky, though.

You're stupid. Bucks is good.

I'm with Tubbles. I like Bucks. I get it for my man, Jason.

I have to agree with Carlos. My pizza was semi-ass monkey ont the edges. But overall, I'd give it a 7.8 on the Chippy McCocopuff 1-10 happy scale.

[Shanaynay Rogers]

You, sir McCocopuff, are an idiot.

For half the price and 30 more minutes on your own end, you can make a pizza on par with Buck's. Mediocrity, clearly, is NOT excellence. Taste is decent from ol' Buck, but there is NOTHING special about it.

I think Bucks is great--excellent thin, crispy crust, good cheese. In my top 3 for Madison pizza (after Pavlov's and Glass Nickel). Surprisingly inexpensive, too.

I recently visited Madison and found these reviews very helpful. I was going to eat at Rocky Rococo's, but then the reviews by Tubbles, Senor McCocopuff, and Ms. Levin had me slam on my TownCar brakes and make a U turn to Bucks.

Here's what I thought:
1) the Za was pimpin.
2) When you ask for extra cheese, you think you're the mouse dude from Chuck E. Cheese. Fat ass heaven.
3) Pepperoni--spicy and sassy. Definitely not for the babies.
4) I was not drunk and the food was still good.
