Pizzeria Uno

I am from Long Island, NY so the criteria by which I judge pizza may be higher than others, but this was some of the worst dining I have ever experienced, pizza or otherwise.
First, the wall above where we were seated had décor that was covered in cobwebs. This is not appealing when you are eating somewhere. Second, I ordered a beverage in a mug and the handle of the mug was sticky and covered in pink red splotches which I imagine were grenadine. The waitress did not come back after taking our order to give us a status update even though it took 40 minutes to make our pizza so basically I had a dirty cup for nearly that whole time.
Let’s also talk about our order — we ordered 1 pizza and some garlic bread. When she (the waitress) was nearby enough to grab her after 35m of waiting, we asked where our garlic bread was. She checked and came back and told us that she and the kitchen forgot about it, and that she wouldn’t charge us for it but our pizza was almost ready.
Now — the pizza. If the pizza were awesome, I could overlook a few other things. What I will say was that there were plenty of toppings and the cheese and the toppings were fresh. That’s all I can say about the pizza that is positive. The crust was awful — it was raw and floury where the sauce and dough met, and it broke off in chunks like dry clay. I don’t know if it was frozen dough before it was baked, or what, but it was NOT proofed (risen) properly. Pizza dough/​crust should be elastic-​y and yeasty. This tasted like uncooked flour. And the sauce — the sauce was nothing but canned whole tomatoes. No extra flavors. Not cooked down or puréed. Pizza sauce has specific flavors, and texture. This missed all the marks. I literally picked up a whole tomato from under the cheese with my fork and showed it to my husband. Also, I asked for less cheese on my half of the pizza (which was written down on the order) and it had the same amount of cheese as the other half.
Finally, when I went in to this establishment I thought I was going to Uno’s, formerly known as Pizzeria Uno’s. I did not know that the chain had changed names and this place is completely unrelated to the chain. I feel that this is quite misleading to anyone familiar with the chain, which did have decent pizza for a chain restaurant.

I came here several times throughout my year in Platteville to get their deep dish pepperoni pizza.
The atmosphere is very cozy and simply decorated with dark colors (I feel like I’m underground when I’m in their dining room).
The pizza is very good. I’ve had the small and personal size deep dish pizza with pepperoni on top of the cheese. The personal size deep dish pizza is plenty enough of a portion size for me to eat. I originally tried the small size and had to take home a slice or two.
My favorite part of the pizza is the sauce and cheese. All ingredients used taste fresh and home made. I make homemade pizzas from scratch and when I started out my pizzas used to taste like Pizzeria Uno’s, so I know they are using fresh ingredients. The cheese tastes like real moist freshly shredded mozzarella and the sauce tastes like it is made from real tomatoes (whether the sauce is made from scratch from real tomatoes I can’t say for sure, but it tastes like it is). The crust was good tasting and crispy. For me the sauce, cheese, and toppings really shine.
By far the best pizza place I tried in Platteville.
Their deep dish pizzas take a while to cook. I go in early for supper around 4:30pm and it is not very busy but the pizzas still take about 15 minutes to reach the table after I order. Not a problem for me, but something to keep in mind if you are in a hurry.
I would not hesitate to bring friends or family to Pizzeria Uno!

If you enjoy 2 inch thick crust completely soaked through with grease, then this is the place to go. If you want actual pizza, whether it be Chicago Style or New York style, Little Caesars is even a better option. Over priced garbage.

What a fun place and the pizza and drinks were excellent! My wife grew up in the area and attests that the quality Pizzeria Una has endured through the years. It is a fun place with good food and local charm.

Consumer Beware!!!
The food is good, but be aware of the hidden costs. My husband ordered an Uno Burger ~ basically a hamburger but loose meat. He was charged $.90 for ketchup and $.90 for barbecue sauce. Who eats a burger without something else on it ~ ketchup, mustard, etc?

This place is awesome!!! Great pizza and fun atmosphere.

Love, love, love Uno’s pizza. Every time I make it back to Platteville, a stop for a pizza and a long island is a must! It is extra fun to look back at the photo’s on the walls and remember great friends and good times.
