Monical’s Pizza

Worst pizza ever. i would rather make something else at home then eating there. I ordered 2 pizza cheese and veggie (without mushrom and with pineapple). They made both my pizza wrong. I am vegetarian, they added pepproni in my cheese pizza. Also in another pizza they didnt added pineapple and instead of that they added mushroom. When i ate pizza there was 2 hair in it. eeewwwww… i told to manager he returned my money. But i had so bad experience i wont suggest anyone to eat there. Better go with Dominos or anything else.

I love Monicals food, but the people working there must have less than a 3^rd grade education. Great food but the service, sucks. I ordered online for delivery, and they couldn’t distinguish between an online order and in person order. Complete bafoons. Food great but they hired idiots. Now I have to wait 45 EXTRA minutes because they didn’t understand what a pick up versus a delivery was from their website. PISS service. Sorry guys, your food is great but your customer service sucks beyond belief.

This was our first visit to Monicals. We spent a minutes perusing the menu and decided to go for the full monte and have salads, breadsticks and pizza. We were so under impressed with all of it, including the clean-​up crew.
The salad was shredded lettuce (like for tacos), shredded carrots and mushy tomatoes. It is winter in Central Indiana. Good tomatoes are hard to come by. So neither of us bothered to even finish the salads. The dressing selections were skimpy.
On to what they called breadsticks. They had the coarse pretzel salt on them so I was excited by that. They were really nothing more than a cooked glob of dough pre-​sliced and baked. They weren’t undercooked but just had a very doughy, bland taste. Same with the cheese sauce. So, we patiently await the pizza.
We ordered the thin crust delight. It was scantily topped, both toppings and cheese. Delight is similar to deluxe, with 5 toppings. There shouldn’t be much space between that many toppings. The sauce didn’t have any special qualities. Wish I had taken a photo. It reminded me of a frozen pizza. They got the thin, crispy part down. As for the rest… we’re going back to our old standby.
The service was fine. No complaints there, but we were there at the end of the dinner hour and watched an employee «sweep» the booths out and then sweep the floor with the same broom. YUCK! I put my hand on that seat to sit down and slide across. I eat the meal that you serve with my hands! I cannot stress how grossed out we were by that. Good thing we were literally on our last pieces of pizza.

I went to Monical’s Pizza today and I have to say that it was definitely not the best experience I have had there. The service today was pretty bad, which normally it is not. However, the reason I am giving them 4 stars is because the pizza we got was amazing and after talking with the manager she went way above and beyond when I brought the poor service to her attention. I would definitely still recommend Monical’s to others.

I used to think Monical’s was a 4 star place. I have to say though. Last time I ordered a thin crust pizza it was partially burned. I was somewhat disappointed because I’ve had superb pizza there in the past. I think they are capable of being an excellent pizza joint. Consistency is an issue here though at times. Usually the servers are good but sometimes the cashiers at the front take too long to acknowledge you when you are ready to pay your bill. I believe that Bazbeaux is the best pizza in Indianapolis area so I highly recommend that. As an alternative to Monical’s I would also recommend Randelli’s down the road. There food seems to be more consistent. It’s not as good as Bazbeaux but you will know what you are getting every time. Monical’s prices are somewhat high which does not necessarily deter me. I will pay more for consistently good food. But, to earn my business the food needs to be commensurate with what they charge. I will probably give them one more chance. I just wish Avon had a Bazbeaux or a Greek’s pizzeria like in Fisher’s.

I just moved to the area and was jonesing for some good pizza. I asked a local cashier where to find some and she told me Monicals was across the street. I ordered a 12 inch thin crust pizza and although the place was not too busy, it took 25 minutes for it to get to my table. (I did see a large carryout order go out in front of mine.) The pizza was, in a word, tasteless. I could get no sense of sauce, cheese or pepperoni. It was all just a globular cardboard mass. Maybe their other menu items are better, but I don’t see me going back. Sad face, but I’ll keep looking for good pizza.

Poor service and some of the worst pepperoni pizza I’ve ever tasted. It very closely resembled cheap frozen pizza.

This location used to be one of our family favorites until very recently. Our children love the pizza and breadsticks and we routinely ate there about once a week. This past week one of the servers struck my 4 yr old son on his bottom and made him cry. He was hit hard enough that it left a mark. I’m only leaving this review because the manager did nothing to remedy the situation other than change our server and when we called the corporate office they told us «there is nothing we can do.» A report was filed with the Avon Police Dept. We won’t be returning there anytime soon.

The Unilocal app said that this particular Monical’s delivered to the Plainfield, IN area. When I called them they said they DO NOT deliver to the Holiday Inn Express at the I-​465 and Rockville Rd. Exit. Funny, they’re just down the road about a mile. I guess they must not cater to hotels.

Yuk. Breadsticks and service were good. Salad and pizza were awful. Salad was super dry lettuce that had seen better days. Pizza was undercooked and underwhelming. We added spinach as a topping with tomatoes and cheese pan. They literally put what appeared to be frozen spinach on it. Is that a thing? I’ve never seen that. I feel kinda bad about this review but we eat a lot of pizza and were not impressed.

I have some mixed feelings about this place.
I will start off by saying that I haven’t eaten inside the restaurant I’ve only requested delivery so I have no idea what the inside is like.
The first time I called for delivery my order was for 2 pizzas and it was noon on a Wednesday and they said it would be an hour! I thought that time seemed pretty outrageous for the day and time considering this place is only a few miles from the house so we cancelled the order.
The next time I ordered delivery it was a Saturday evening and I was quoted an hour and didn’t think that was unreasonable but the person who took my order and delivered my food seemed to be annoyed that I was calling for an order and annoyed that they had to deliver it. This particular person’s customer service skills were awful.
However the spaghetti and meatballs were delicious! And it came with two soft baked breadsticks which were smothered in delicious garlic butter. I would give the food 5 stars.
So my advice would be to order carry out. And make sure to get some breadsticks.

Great pizza. The thin crust is amazing and love the bread sticks and cheese. We always get the family meal which includes a fresh salad and great choices of dressings. Even when they are extremely busy you get great friendly, fast service.

This place needs to be cleaned. The chair rails need to be dusted or something. I love their food as the garlic cheese bread rules but the dirt in here really ruins it.

Being new to Indiana, I had no clue where to pick a good pizza. We chose Monicals and were surprised at how much it was. However, when the pizza arrived we knew immediately we got what we paid for! The delivery to our home was quick and efficient.
The taste and quality of the pizza were second to know. The ingredients used appeared fresh, the spices and seasonings used created a dynamic taste experience.
Without question I would have to say this was one of the best pizzas I have ever had. I would recommend it to anyone, and tell them not to let the price scare you because with Monicals you certainly get more than what you pay for!

Pizza is like barbecue or chili… everybody I’ll tell you how great it is and then you actually try it and its very disappointing… Well this pizza met and exceeded all my expectations! Would recommend this pizza to anyone and more importantly I won’t hesitate to go back again.

The pizza is really good. It’s on a thinner crust, the sauce is flavorful, and there is just the right amount of cheese to hold stuff together but not overpower the other flavors. Toppings are evenly applied. Slices are square not triangular. There are also salads, sandwiches, a handful of appetizers, and I *think* they have GF options now because I recall reading something about «our celiac friends».
There’s this very odd server who works evenings. He’s waited on us at least 2 – 3 times and says just the strangest things. However, he’s very welcoming, quick, and has never screwed up our order. He keeps drinks refilled without you asking and offers to-​go cups. His strangeness is somewhat off-​putting as you can’t tell if he’s joking or serious or maybe just a little below average intelligence and not quite making sense.
So anyhow, don’t get scared away, that’s just how the guy is… the pizza is worth it, and despite being kinda weird the guy gives really good, attentive service.

I have to say, not being from a town with a Monical’s, it did take a little while for the place to grow on me — and now it’s a top place I take family and friends when they visit! I’ve tried a little of everything…
Pizza: Mighty Meat on thin crust is my go-​to. Awesome fun fact: you can get triple extra cheese! I normally only do twice extra cheese, hafta watch that figure. Dipped in ranch dressing. Yes, this is reserved for when I’m going to fat attack food.
Eat the salad. Yes, it’s simple (go for the chef if you want more fancy) but its freaking great! Also, I do get a bit more cheese. And the French and Ranch dressings are awesome!
Oddly fantastic: cheese fries. I get the cheddar cheese (can you tell I like cheese?). Did NOT see this coming as being so awesome.
No idea why it took me a couple visits to like the place, but I do now. If you have only been here once or twice, try something different, it’ll grow on you; then you can’t imagine going to another pizza place.

After two additional visits I’ve had a chance to try other menu items. My friend is true to the pizza for the thin, doughy crust, sauce and sausage. The chicken wings have a good flavor with a tiny bit of spice. The breadsticks are soft, doughy, slightly salted, hot and whether with spicy cheese or marinara sauce are delicious.
We enjoy the option of ordering a single or family size order of breadsticks and salad. Ordering both in family size is a nice lunch for two. Breadsticks are quick for carry out snack if you just pop in as we have before. Call ahead or eat in, regardless you’ll enjoy!
The sports room is perfect for large birthday parties or bringing the team in for pizza after a game or practice.
The service has always been good and we’ve enjoyed our individual orders each time.

Monical’s is probably my favorite «non-​Indiana chain» based pizza place. Really like their thin crispy crust (also re-​heats well) and you just can’t beat an occasional shredded iceburg lettuce salad. I’m no fan of iceburg, but there is just something about a Monical’s salad… maybe it’s the way their house dressing clings to it. I don’t know, it’s just a must.
My favorite has always been straight up pepperoni with pepperoncinis, but recently I’ve discovered their BBQ Chicken pizza… it’s my new go-​to.
If you are in the area (Avon) and feel like pizza, give it a try. They also deliver, which is another reason they receive so much love from me.
I have also been to group events at Monical’s. They do a great job keeping the pizza flowing.

I’m a fan of Pizza King style pizza but I always wish it was just a little better. Monical’s delivers on this minus the choo-​choo trains and nostalgia.
I can’t think of anybody who does thin crust party style cut better in the area. While the topping selection lacks fancier options, the classic staples never disappoint.
Interior décor is customary and average. The restroom cleanliness was acceptable. If it were just a little closer to my home I would likely eat here more often.
