Hey Bucky

Just curious if you live in Madtown. Girlfriend is running the Madison Marathon tomorrow and will be in town, heard Mickeys Dairy Bar is fantastic breakfast but super long wait..worth the wait? Also, best pizza joint in the area would be? Assuming you're from or have lived in Madison. Thanks!

    Not Bucky, but I am a UW graduate and get up there several times a year.

    Mickeys Dairy Bar is very very good.

    Pizza Roma up State Street a block or so from the Capitol Building is very good. Rocky Roccoco (sp?) has been a Madison institution since I was in school there in the 70's

    Also get over to the Memorial Union which sits on Lake Mendota and enjoy a beer out on the very very spacious patio.

    Good luck to your girlfriend ..enjoy.

    Also great homemade ice crean made on campus is served at the Union.

    Thanks a lot Namath. Yeah plan on hitting the Union after the race. Will definitely take a look at Pizza Roma! Appreciate the insight!

    Agree with most of what Namath says. IMHO the best pizza in Madison is Paisan's. (some of the best anywhere). longtime great MadTown institution with a great view of Lake Mendota. (Especially if you're out on the patio).

    Bucky, is Paisan's owned by the same people who owned the restaurant in University Square back in the day?

    Yeah--same family. The original (back in the 60s) was in the basement with Porto Bello Restaurant upstairs. Then they had the University square location, and now they have the new location on West Wilson St overlooking the lake and convention center. Terrific pizza, lasagna, and Porto Bello salad

    Piasons on Lake Monona is a great place for pizza with a beautiful view. Glass Nickel also has great pizza with several locations in the campus area.

    Thanks for the responses guys. Loved walking State St, stopped at Diegos instead of hitting up pizza. Hit up State Street Brats on Saturday night as well. The ambience of Madison is incredible, truly enjoy the visits here. Thanks for the suggestions guys!
