"1st time here always wanted to try! The prices are pretty steep for the location the offerings. I so wanted to try the pettine risotto, but $34 is nuts for rice!! Started at the bar with a Yuengling a Naughty Flight Attendant, which was a little coconut rum forward, but still very good. Didn't taste boozy, which can be dangerous, lol. The bartender was just average. She chatted more with the servers than us. We moved to a table got a couple of beers ordered the fried brussel sprouts, sliced ahi tuna stuffed mushrooms apps forgot to take pics of them as we were super hungry oops! Brussels went perfectly with the bourbon glaze dipping sauce (not sure what it was, but it was yummy). They were cooked perfectly the portion size was pretty good for 3 ppl. The ahi tuna was tasty the spicy honey sauce that came with it made it even better. Stuffed mushrooms were delicious with a mild fennel sausage flavor in a light butter wine sauce. Moved onto entrees: grilled chicken sandwich, monkey burger, southern mac n cheese special the round trip steak wrap. Everything came out hot was excellent. Mac n cheese was super creamy, made with campanella pasta, which was a perfect vessel for the yummy cheese sauce pulled pork to cling to. Definitely a hearty, stick to your ribs meal. The monkey burger was cooked exactly as requested and super flavorful. Steak wrap was very good. Meat was tender. Meat was the star of the entree; however, it was supposed to be spicy, but didn't taste very spicy at all. Grilled chicken sandwich was also delicious moist. The aioli that came with it was fantastic...best we've had. The fries were shoestring style, which aren't my favorite, but they were still cooked well, but lacked salt. Ended with a peanut butter whiskey dessert drink a creme brulee, which was slightly warm, super creamy, but a little loose in texture. Brulee was just right with no burnt taste. PB drink wasn't what we accepted. Thought it would be more of a milkshake thickness. You definitely can taste the PB flavor tasted a bit boozy/strong. Our server, Danielle, was attentive very pleasant. Didn't feel rushed at all, even when it started getting busy. The bathrooms were kind of dark smelled like oranges, which was a nice surprise. Not counting the 2 drinks at the bar, our total bill, for 4ppl was $215 tip. Remember...that was for LUNCH! We will absolutely go back, just not running back soon...our wallet needs to recoup!"

"This review is for the pizza itself. I ordered carry-out and have no thoughts on the service. This pizza has to be the most overrated pizza I’ve had in my life. Given the high reviews, I’m extremely disappointed. I’m coming from Milwaukee, where I had 5 times the pizza options available to me in half the distance and 4/5 of the price. With Glass Nickel’s status and price, I was expecting the best pizza I’d had in my life. Instead, it’s mediocre at best. The crust was overpowering. 60% of the flavor came from the crust. I got regular crust, as that’s what I normally order. I would highly recommend only ordering thin crust from Glass Nickel. They don’t put enough sauce or toppings on the pizza to make regular crust a good crust experience. I didn’t expect to be chewing through a wall of crust for a smidgeon of flavor. They say “100% Wisconsin Cheese” like that’s something special. You think that isn’t true of every pizza joint, even the chains? Meanwhile, in my opinion, it is some of the least flavorful cheese of all of the pizza places. I would expect at least 30% more sauce and cheese than I received. I’m not trolling when I say, in my opinion, Glass Nickel is the 2nd-worst pizza in town. Only better than Little Ceasar’s. Stunningly, worse than Papa John’s. I recommend all Glass Nickel staff try a Papa John’s cheese, compared to a Glass Nickel cheese. Try an $11 Costco cheese. Glass Nickel is worse. I guess, it didn’t instantly give me acid reflux, like Little Ceasars, but beyond that, I’ve never been more disappointed with a pizza."
