There's an absolute ton of amazing pizza to be had in Wisconsin. Heck, we've even made an extensive list about it. We've got Wisconsin-style pizza, square-cut pizza and even pizza served fresh on the farm. But one place in southeastern Wisconsin has some of the best pizza you've probably never heard of. In business for nearly a century and in their third generation of family ownership, Wells Brothers Pizza in Wisconsin is a total hidden gem. The restaurant is unassuming and the presentation is simple, but all that does is allow their stellar pizza to shine. Head over to Racine to try it for yourself.
Established way back in 1921, Wells Brothers was founded by Dominic and James Wells. Their pizza has been made the same way, in this same building, ever since.
The pizza here has been winning awards longer than most of us have been alive. As recently as 2005, they were named the #6 pizza in the nation.
feels like visiting family, especially if you've ever spent time with an Italian grandmother. It's friendly, welcoming and cozy in the best way.
Though the pizza is the star here, there's a constantly changing and updating specials board.
The crust is that amazing cracker-thin style that we love here in the Dairy State.
The pizza isn't overly greasy, and the sausage has that perfect hint of fennel.
The sauce here has just the right amount of sweetness and they don't skimp on the toppings - there's plenty of melty, bubbly mozzarella to act as a base for your pie, but not so much that it ruins the cracker crust. No soggy bottoms here!
Regulars highly suggest ordering the pizza well done - those extra few minutes in the oven give you crispy, crunchy edges and that perfect snap of the crust that leaves you with crumbs on your shirt.
Wells Brothers is well worth the short drive from Milwaukee to not only get truly stellar pizza, but to support a family-owned business that has been serving simple, flavorful and excellent food in the same spot for nearly 100 years.
One of the very best, very Wisconsin features of Wells Brothers is the cans of Hamm's for less than a dollar (94 cents, to be exact). Pizza prices are super reasonable and on Tuesday nights, you can get a large pizza, garlic bread or fries and your choice of six beer shorties, a bottle of wine or a pitcher of soda for $20.
Wells Brothers Pizza is located at 2148 Mead St, Racine, 53403. To learn more, visit their website or Facebook page.
