Pizza Supreme is a little place on the southwest side of Madison that provides a tasty option for your pizza and pasta cravings, despite a recurring issue of missing toppings.
Let’s start by talking about the crust. It’s a little bit thicker than New York style, and it was big enough that it was sort of like eating a breadstick. Subsequently, I would have liked some dipping sauce.
You can build your own pizza or select one of the specialty pizzas. The namesake Supreme ($18 for 12″, $21 for 14″) has pepperoni, sausage, Canadian bacon, peppers, mushrooms, black olives and onions. The ingredients are well-balanced, making for a delicious pizza.
Also worth ordering is the Meat Lovers ($17 for 12″, $20 for 14″). Topped with Canadian bacon, pepperoni, bacon bits (almost all of which was clumped on a few slices) and sausage (which was missing), it had a nice saltiness to it, and I mean then a good way.
The Margherita pizza ($14 for 12″, $17 for 14″) was disappointing. I couldn’t find much basil–maybe two pieces that were shriveled up. I added pepperoni to it, and it was a good thing I did–otherwise, this would have essentially been a plain cheese pizza.
Other pizzas include the Mexicana and Buffalo chicken.
Supreme Pizza also serves some good pasta dishes, and you can choose between spaghetti and penne with each order. The pomodoro sauce pasta ($8.99) was enjoyable despite missing most of the bacon bits (I counted two pieces). It’s tossed gently in the sauce, yet you can still taste the garlic, basil and tomatoes.
The carbonara ($8.99), which came with a perfect amount of diced pancetta, parmesan and egg yolk, was equally outstanding. This dish had a subtle creaminess to it and wasn’t oily or greasy.
Pizza Supreme is open for lunch and dinner Tuesday-Sunday.
