In 1959 the Monical family started making pizzas in the little town of Tolono, Illinois. Before long their recipe became a hit with many of their local friends and neighbors. Thus was born Monical's Pizza, a name that over the years has become synonymous locally with the very finest thin crust pizza.

Today there are 46 Monical's Pizza restaurants, primarily located throughout Central Illinois with three in Indiana and one in Wisconsin. Monical's great pizza has evolved into a dining tradition for countless families and into a financially-solid steadily-growing foodservice institution. In an intensely competitive business environment, Monical's Pizza has managed not only to keep up, but outpace many of its larger competitors. There are two reasons for this record of performance...People and Vision.

The Monical's mission is simply stated as "The Family Pleaser...People Pleasing People." At Monical's Pizza, "Family" is more than a word in a slogan. It is a philosophy. It represents the guests, the vendors and every team member past and present who have worked so hard to make Monical's Pizza a name to be trusted. It is the reason we have adapted so successfully to all the changes that have presented themselves in the almost four decades of our corporate life. It is the reason we have been able to create careers for so many young people over so many years. At Monical's Pizza, success begins and ends with people. Vision is the guiding star. Over the 40+ years since Monical's Pizza began in a little kitchen in Tolono, our Vision has unfolded due to the dedication and creativity of many very special people.
