Slice Mob Hits Madison: Grand Apizza

Slice Mob Hits Madison: Grand Apizza Delivers the Goods

The Slice Mob rolled into Grand Apizza in Madison for our monthly meetup—and let me tell you, it lived up to the hype. This place has been slinging pies for 70 years, and it’s easy to see why they’re still going strong.

We were greeted with warm smiles and incredible hospitality from Mike and his team. The vibe is classic and comfortable, with a “family-run since day one” feel that makes you want to stay a while.

As always, I started with the gold standard: the tomato pie with grated cheese. Absolute perfection. The sauce was bright and tangy with a natural tomato sweetness, balanced beautifully by the salty bite of the cheese. The crust? Thin, crisp, with just the right amount of char and that New Haven–style smoky kiss. Heaven.

Next up: the Special, loaded with mozzarella, sausage, pepperoni, bacon, onions, peppers, and mushrooms. It was a greatest-hits collection of toppings, all playing in perfect harmony. Nothing overpowered—just one balanced bite after another. Salty meats, sweet onions, tangy peppers, umami-rich mushrooms… it was like a flavor orchestra.

And no pizza party is complete without a Foxon Park Diet White Birch. A true Connecticut classic and the ideal pairing for this nostalgic, flavor-packed lunch with lifelong friends.

Big thanks to Mike and his crew for making us feel like part of the Grand Apizza family. Here’s to 70 more years of pizza greatness!
