Sam & Greg's in Madison |
When nobody can agree on food Sam and Greg’s is the easy win. Pizza for the picky crowd, salads for the healthy crew, gelato for the “I’m not that hungry” person and drinks for the adults.

People love that the menu has something for everyone including vegetarians and meat lovers. Here in Madison, there is a drive thru pickup window which is clutch on busy days.
Next time the group chat turns into twenty minutes of “I don’t know... you pick” call it and go to Sam and Greg’s. Order a pizza salad for someone to feel virtuous then grab gelato anyway.
