Got pizza here from the first time on 3/23/2024. Really disappointed. Based on the reviews, it seemed like it would taste good and I was really excited to try it. But the cheese pizza was extremely bland. Even most frozen pizza I’ve had tastes better. Friendly cashier, but super disappointing food and now I’m left hungry and out of the $ I had put aside to enjoy this 3 day weekend

Got two empanadas and 1 large chicken parmesan pizza on a friday night! Order was ready for pickup within 35 minutes, hot, fresh, and delicious! Crust was great, love the sourdough taste. Can't wait to try more of their specialty pizzas when I'm back in town. Empanadas were tasty, pastry was a bit soft, but flavors very good!

The pizza is delicious, but a little pricey. If you order for pickup, make sure you give yourself at least 5 to 10 extra minutes since the estimated pickup time is usually not enough.

The pizza here is absolutely delicious. The ingredients are selected meticulously and of high quality. The staff all take great ownership and provide great service. Quite possibly the best pizza shop in

Our favorite New York style pizza in the Champaign Urbana area. We always stop when in town. Staff is always friendly and the pizza slays. Nom!

Nice pizza, but one thing is the restaurant is south is very small. You need to take it out to somewhere else or you will have to sit in the bar or sit outdoors.

Lots of unique & different pizzas are excellent. They have pizza by the slice for lunch which is cool for eating on the run and NOT fast food. Take out only though.
tl;dr the available pizza slices were not fresh/overbaked but the frozen pizza is good. Probably won't come back unless i'm around at start of business when slices will be fresh.I went there on my birthday (Jan 12 2024) due to all the good reviews I saw. First time there. I tried 3 different slices of what they had available & bought a frozen chicken parmesan pizza. The 3 slices I had were really crispy, fairly dry (except the pepperoni), and one had the tip end completely charcoal (like what happens when I microwave leftover pizza slices too long). It felt like they had baked the slices, kept them out for too long making them dry out, and then when they rebaked them to warm them up, it just made them really dry and unappealing. Also, there was extremely limited seating (something like 4 bar stools) & it was crowded because of the 5 customers standing in the space.I prepared the frozen chicken parmesan at home. I thought the flavor was delicious, the crust was amazing & buttery, and everything was good. My wife doesn't like the marinara sauce but I thought it was fine. Therefore, I believe the quality of the pizza I ate at Manolo's was just really poor due to the pizza not being fresh.

The best New York style pizza in CU! I'm allergic to tomatoes and all of their non tomato pizzas have been absolutely phenomenal. A must see!

Great food and good prices. Small takeout restaurant. Not a sit down spot.
