Pizza in Sun Prairie WI: Three Main Street Pizzerias

Glass Nickel, Salvatore's and Pizza Pit sit within half a mile on Main Street. Here is what each one does best, and where it falls short.

Three kitchens share one short stretch of Main Street, and each one answers a different question about pizza in Sun Prairie: what to order for a table full of kids, what to book for a night out, and what to carry home on a Tuesday. Glass Nickel Pizza Co., Salvatore's Tomato Pies and Pizza Pit sit within about half a mile of one another, so you can compare them without much driving.

What follows comes from each restaurant's own website and menu pages, local news coverage and the reviews diners have left. Where a review is quoted, it is one person's visit, not a verdict. Hours and prices change, so call to confirm before you go.

Which pizza place fits which night

Choose Salvatore's for a sit-down dinner with unusual toppings, Glass Nickel for a big table or a delivery order, and Pizza Pit for thin crust, gyros and bake-at-home pies. Google shows Salvatore's at 4.7 stars from 1,745 reviews, Glass Nickel at 4.1 from 563 and Pizza Pit at 4.0 from 301, so the sit-down place leads the other two on rating by a clear margin.

Glass Nickel Pizza Co.: a Main Street rebuild

Glass Nickel at 410 E Main St is the pizzeria for groups, families and anyone who wants delivery from drivers the restaurant employs itself. Its website says it does not outsource delivery, and Google lists a patio, free parking and a menu for children.

Glass Nickel Pizza Co.

The building is new. The Sun Prairie Star reported in August 2022 that the restaurant stands on the site of a former gas and auto service station, in a building that also holds nine apartments.

Behind the bar, a display called Phoenix holds bottles and brick recovered from the original Glass Nickel at 101 E Main St, which was destroyed in the natural gas explosion of July 10, 2018.

Takeout and delivery came back first, and dine-in followed in late May 2022.

The company started on Atwood Avenue in Madison in 1997, and Travel Wisconsin says each location is independently owned by former employees. Its Wikipedia entry also describes a habit of turning used fryer oil into fuel for delivery vehicles, a detail worth knowing if you care where your pizza comes from.

The restaurant's website lists a 16-inch specialty pizza with breadsticks, Nickel Nuggets or cheesebread for $28, and a calzone with an individual salad for $15. Call to confirm those deals are still running. Google lists the dining room open from 11 a.m., closing at 9 p.m. most nights and 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.

Reviewers split on consistency. A June reviewer raved about the Santa Fe BBQ chicken pizza, another said the pizza tastes just as good cold or reheated the next day, and a parent wrote that staff brought chalk out to the patio so her two small girls could draw while she ate. On the other side, a June reviewer said a square-cut order arrived triangle-cut for the third time running, and a March reviewer found the toppings scorched.

Our read from those facts: Glass Nickel suits a family or a group that wants space, a patio and a delivery driver, and it is a weaker bet if you are fussy about cut and char. Say how you want the pizza cut when you order, and check the box before you leave.

Salvatore's Tomato Pies: Trenton style on East Main

Salvatore's at 121 E Main St is the place for a sit-down dinner built around a Trenton-style tomato pie. Google shows it takes reservations, serves beer and wine, and has free parking.

Salvatore's Tomato Pies

The pizza is built in reverse. When the first Sun Prairie Salvatore's opened in October 2011, owner Patrick DePula told Isthmus that the cheese goes on the crust first, then the toppings, then the tomato sauce, with a rustic crust that blisters and chars.

The restaurant's own site still calls it authentic Jersey-style pizza with a swirl of red sauce.

The restaurant later moved into a brick building at this address that the Sun Prairie Star described as 116 years old and restored by the owners. The same site mentions house-made Bolognese on fresh rigatoni, spaghetti and meatballs, and a frozen pie line for taking home.

Reviewers keep returning to the toppings. One March visitor liked that the seasonal menu rotates every couple of months, and praised a gluten-free Figgy Piggy with figs, prosciutto, gorgonzola, pumpkin seeds and arugula, noting that the gluten-free crust comes in a 10-inch size. A June reviewer named the Joey Bananas pizza as a favorite.

There are cautions. A reviewer in April said a pork-free request was missed and a pepperoni pizza reached the table, so anyone with an allergy or religious restriction should repeat it to the server and ask how the kitchen handles it. Another reviewer called the beer on tap average and a June reviewer found a couple of dishes heavy on lemon.

Google lists the dining room closed on Mondays, open from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday and from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday through Sunday. Call to confirm, especially around holidays. The pizza is the draw here; treat the beer list as an extra, not the reason to come.

Pizza Pit: thin crust, gyros and take-and-bake

Pizza Pit at 330 W Main St is the practical choice: a counter for carry-out and delivery where the crust comes in three styles and the menu runs from pizza to gyros. Google lists dine-in as well, but no beer or wine.

Pizza Pit

Its website says the hand-tossed crust is made on site daily and comes super thin, traditional thin or thick, with a gluten-free crust in 12 inches. Classic pizzas run from a 12-inch medium to a 20-inch mega, and a 14-inch large with no specialty toppings was listed at $14.99, so confirm the current price.

The shop says it has delivered pizza in Wisconsin and Iowa since 1969, and the Sun Prairie store delivers to Sun Prairie and Marshall.

Beyond pizza, the menu lists beef-and-lamb and chicken gyros with house tzatziki, oven-toasted sandwiches, and chicken wings sold by the pound, and Google describes bake-at-home pies. One February reviewer put the gyros first and also praised the fried mushrooms and curly fries.

The restaurant's site says Pizza Pit was voted best pizza and best chicken wings in a 2026 Wisconsin State Journal and Madison.com readers poll, though the same page also cites 2025, so read that as the restaurant's own claim.

Reviews are mixed in a useful way. An April customer orders weekly and likes the counter staff and the chicken, while a June reviewer who grew up here in the 1980s found the sauce bland and the dough unlike the original. A September caller could not get the sign's special explained over the phone. Order online or in person if the deal matters to you.

Our read: Pizza Pit is the one to pick when you want thin crust, a gyro with the pizza, or an inexpensive carry-out dinner. It is not the place to linger over a drink. Google lists closing times between 7:30 and 8:30 p.m.

Choosing between the three

For a date or a birthday, book Salvatore's. For a table with young children, Glass Nickel has the patio, and one parent's review praised its staff for keeping two small girls busy. For a quick pickup, any of the three works, and all three list takeout.

If someone in your group needs gluten-free, Pizza Pit lists a 12-inch crust and a Salvatore's reviewer reported a 10-inch one, so phone ahead for either. For a late Friday dinner, Glass Nickel stays open to 10 p.m. by Google's hours.

When one person at the table does not want pizza, the wider run of restaurants across town adds Mexican restaurants and a diner.

If dinner is just the start of the evening, plan the rest around outings around town before you pick a table.

Three kitchens, half a mile of Main Street, and a different answer for each night of the week.
