The tiny town of Gillett is about 40 miles northwest of Green Bay and 80 miles due east of Wausau. It might be closer to the UP than it is anything else, but it's well worth your time to detour toward this little hamlet as it's home to some of the very best desserts you've ever imagined. If you love a hometown diner where everyone seems to know everyone else, everything is handmade right on site and is so inexpensive you won't believe your eyes when you get the bill, you'll want to head straight to OJ's Midtown in Wisconsin.

Tucked into the small town of Gillett, OJ's is a small diner spot that serves up spectacular home-cooked, filling food.

From stellar soups to giant burgers, OJ's Midtown has it all. You won't regret heading here for a meal.

But let's be honest, what you've really come here for is the dessert. These folks serve up 20 different pies on a regular basis and usually have at least two pies featured each month.

This is the list of flavors they served up on Pi Day recently. But, really, a list this long isn't saved for special days around here.

OJ's has been around for more than 40 years and there are multiple generations of this family making amazing pies and other desserts right here in the kitchen.

Though the pies tend to get the bulk of the attention, you'll also find amazing large apple dumplings, cakes, cheesecakes and something they call schnibbles - cookies made with leftover pie crust dough that have a bunch of butter and sugar and deliciousness packed into every bite.

This place is cozy and welcoming and it feels a bit like it's been here forever. You'll find regulars and visitors alike, as well as folks who've trekked just to taste the wonderful after-dinner treats.

You couldn't possibly grow tired of pie at this shop and they make a ton of flavors you've never even dreamed up.

During the holiday season, try the mint creme pie that has a layer of chocolate on the bottom. The cream pies and meringues look light and fluffy and like they could reach up to the sky.

Just like the cream pies, the cheesecakes here are silky smooth and chock full of flavor. The bakers at OJ's Midtown in Wisconsin make all kinds of amazing flavor combinations.

We don't know how anyone comes in here for anything other than dessert. Who can think of fish fries when there's a table full of drool-worthy sweet treats just waiting for you to explore it?

There's just no denying that a trip to OJ's is totally doable from a bunch of Wisconsin cities and it's so, so worth it to be able to experience the transcendent joy of dessert here.

Come hungry and bring a cooler so you can take additional treats home with you. OJ's makes the very best desserts in Wisconsin.
