Hickory Tree Pizza — Restaurant in Chatham Township

This pizza shop services a rural area sorely lacking enough diversity to support the "lingo" in the collection of poor reviews it has been given, by many youthful users as well.

As a true customer of Hickory Tree Pizza I can tell you it is the best pizza this side of Chatham/Madison. They may not have every known topping, but that is because they deliver solid pizza at a good price and do not try to be everything to everyone.

Their Daily Special (available every day) is two slices and a fountain soda for $4.25 (hardly expensive.) It seems there is always one or two people at the counter eating a Daily Special when I am there. I prefer my pizza fresh from the oven, but they always have some "house pizza" available, or just coming out.

I have not had everything from their menu ( a lot of pizza ! ) but my favorite item has been their Calzones.

As for the managers (plural as in two brothers) they are hometown, practical and solid. I say this as someone who has called them up and asked if they could deliver food to my kid at a soccer field promising to come in later that night and pay. They assured me, someone they really did not know and could not remember, anytime in the next day or so. When I did pay, they assured me they would do it again if I needed it.

Later, when I shared my story with other parents some thought it was cool and others said they had a similar experience. I still felt fortunate but less unique in my luck.

As for cleanliness, I too am sensitive to cleanliness. The place is not fancy but I can share that their bathrooms are small and basic but I have never experienced them being dirty smelly or gross, the floor is clean, the cooking area is clean, I have seen them clean the glass every time I am there just before closing. The individuals do not dress up but they have never appeared dirty or I would not eat their food.

Hope some folks find this helpful and hopefully the pizza shop I most often frequent for the last four years is not unfairly judged by what can only be...

Ordered for delivery, pizza is incredible (that’s why I love going here). Tonight, ordered off of their menu and did not get what was expected/listed. Buffalo chicken salad WITH red onion, green peppers and egg. None of which came on it. Naturally, I called the restaurant to ask why this was not on the salad. I was RUDELY told that, ‘we have never put any of those on our salads, it’s not our fault it’s the third party website’s fault.’ Dude, own up. Blame someone else for your mistake? Come on. Why is it on your website and you do not carry/make your items this way? Unprofessional. Did not offer to correct situation one bit, also paid extra for dressing on the side which was not...

The men making pizzas get very annoyed with the customers when it is busy and lack compassionate aspects. They were very rude to me as I was ordering today and he ignored me and yelled in my face to talk to one of the teenage girls. I did, and the girls were sweet, yet they could not answer all of my questions about the food. As I asked what was on the tuna salad, the girl asked the man making pizzas and he rolled his eyes. I feel bad for the employees there and I hope the young men making pizzas become more compassionate and respectful towards their customers and employees and realize that it will quickly have a positive affect on the management of...
