mother bear's pizza

enjoyed a good sunday lunch here with a diy pizza for three toppings and a creamy base. we also had some breadsticks on the side withcheesesauce and some drinks. good service and great food!

came here yesterday all alone to try out the much famed, such high rated mother bear's pizza of the town. so they were having an early bird offer, which i opted for. in that offer you can either take a 10" or 14" pizza and they give you options to choose from a bread ofcheesesticks and two drinks. i went for the 10" option and half a variety of both the pizzas. that costed me 14.18$ inclusive of taxes.
i had taken lemonade for drinks,cheesebread sticks and half half for a 10" pizza. the pizzas i chose were hawaiian and divine swine - two of their best sellers as suggested by their staff. liked both of them. both had different flavours of bases and toppings. hence it is difficult to decide which one was better. i liked both of them. the quality of pepperoni, sausages and hams used were very good. loved both of it.
only thing i didn't like that the pizza crusts were very thick. i am thin pizza person, that kinda pissed me off. else, everything was pretty good.
that's it. happy dining! :)

very awesome pizza andcheesebread! amazing house made ranch. the deep dish pizza had melted crustycheeseon the the edges.
the service was great. chris was helpful getting us started since we had never been before. a definite must hit up if you're in town!!

great pizza as always!. we traveled from columbus to bloomington to eat at mother bear's pizza and it was awesome as usual! there was a 30 minute wait to be seated but we knew it would be worth it.

the breadsticks were cooked to perfection, thecheesebread was very tasty, and the divine swine pizza was amazing!

they had done some remodeling since our last visit and there seemed to be more seating and the restrooms were brand new! as always, parking is an issue but it is something you just have to deal with if you want the pizza.

best pizza in town. being the townie that i am, i am ashamed to say i just had mother bears for the first time last year. i have since fallen in love. my favorite pizza to order is the snack attack pack which is a small pizza 4 bread stix 2 delicious homemade brownies and a 20 oz drink. i get the sausage andcheesepizza with broccoli which sounds gross, but trust me it's my favorite way to eat my broccoli now!

i think the thing that really sets mother bear’s pizza apart is their award-winning sauce. it has just the right amount of spunk to it to stand out, but it doesn’t overpower their greatcheeseor toppings.

awesome. my first pizza here was the dixie two-step and i highly recommend it. it's great if you like bbq pizza because it's got a sweet but zesty sauce with onions, chicken, and cheddar cheese. i love getting their muchie deal where you get a 10 inch i topping pizza with bread orcheesesticks and a 2-liter of coke. it's enough for 2 people to share but onlt like $10.00. you can also get the specialty pizza's for a few more dollars.

not the greatest. this was my first visit to mother bear's in about five years. parking at mother bear's is, well, a bear - there's virtually none. be prepared to risk a ticket from the university or a tow from one of the neighboring merchants. better yet, just plan to arrive on foot.

the food has always been okay, but nothing special. back in the day i preferred the breadsticks to the pizza. the pizza sauce and many of the toppings are not particularly flavorful. the thick crust tastes pretty good and has some nice carmelizedcheesearound the edges, but the pizza is otherwise unremarkable.

today's visit suffered from the hall & oates that was blaring from a tinny 4" speaker somewhere nearby. nothing against hall & oates, but most pop music isn't much to listen to without the bass.

the pizza was a little better than i remembered. thecheeseand sausage were very tasty, but the pizza sauce was still lackluster, more bitter and salty than anything else.

the breadsticks were a complete disappointment. lukewarm and very rubbery. there appeared to be some spice sprinkled on the outside, but it had no flavor except the slightest hint of garlic salt. thecheesesauce is still good, but they don't give you enough to dip all eight breadsticks. mine lasted through six and a half stix.

this was a serviceable, filling meal, but i'm still not sure how this place snagged 4th-best-in-the-nation honors from people magazine (in 1982, mind you) and came to top the urbanspoon bloomington restaurant list. it's worth a try, but don't expect to be blown away.

as much as i'd like to like this place and buy into all the hype, the fact remains that the standout food item i obtained on this excursion was the good humor king cone i picked up at a village pantry on the way back to my car.
