Review from Justin J.

For anyone who says, doing half and half pizza sauces, as in half margherita and half banana peppers and sausage, is "weak", lemme tell you...they're making the pizza in the kitchen. They are under pressure, orders flying in from all different angles, take out here, order in there, medium with extra sundrieds, sub black olives for broccoli add pine nuts, extra sauce...it's no joke. So, that being said, they can't always split a pizza in half because the sauces just don't mix and they gotta cook it and prep and all that jazz.
So, is the pizza good? Yes, hands down, this pizza is really friggin' good. The BBQ chicken is wet my pants good. The Algo Malgo or whatever it is called is truly delicious.
If you're looking for a quick lunch spot, get your ass in there and enjoy the pizza/salad lunch deal, for it will not disappoint. Order the cheese slice if you like, but since they have the dozens of toppings to choose from, live a little and put some meatballs or eggs or fresh artichokes and make it the way you dream it.
OVERALL: One of the top pizza place in Madison or Middleton. -

My boyfriend and I recently moved from the near east side to Middleton, and since Roman Candle on Willy St. was a frequent of ours, we hoped the Middleton location would not disappoint.
Same great pizza, still a nice vibe--took one star off because they don't have as much outdoor seating as the east side, and it's just not as open and light.
We like the House Salad(greens with tomato, cucumber, bacon, blue cheese and balsamic). It's so good.
As far as pizza, the Pestoral(feta, artichoke, kalamata olives, roasted red pepper, and yes...pesto) and the Margherita(classic with roma tomato, basil and fresh mozzarella slices) are the BEST. My boyfriend does get a hankerin' for some meat on occasion, and their sausage mushroom is good too! -

After the rave reviews I'll admit I may have had unduly high expectations for this pizza.
I got half margherita and half the roman candle(banana peppers, sausage and spicy sauce). They were unable to do different sauces on each half of the pizza(pretty weak) so the margherita had spicy sauce too which was straight because I'm a spicy food fiend.
The roman candle was pretty good but the margherita pizza was not legit at all, they don't use fresh basil, and the fresh mozzarella isn't that fresh either and lacks flavor and they skimp on the tomatoes.
Roman candle serves up mediocre to decent pizza at best. -

Wow, I must say I'm super shocked at the excitement of the reviews about this place! I live nearby and and have tried Roman Candle multiple times, so I'd like to say I've given them a fair shot at winning my business.
My most recent and last experience was the worst. The Caesar salad was a sad bowl of lettuce and croutons, for 8 bucks. The dressing, which had a nasty thick yellow slimy film on the top was anything but Caesar dressing.... my husband and I think it may have been deviled egg filling??? P.s. they forgot the anchovies! Really, how many ingredients go in a Caesar salad?
On to the pizza, we had the margarita and Brad R. was right on the money.... not legit! They were out of basil (what Italian pizza joint runs out of basil?), the mozzarella was not fresh at all and the tomatoes were pale and yellowish. Don't even get me started on the over-sauced crust, the thin crust couldn't even hold up to it! This, along with the other pizzas I've had there in the past, where not good.
Roman Candle, I really wanted to love you, but I'm tired of the disappointment!
