Nestled near Lake Michigan, Sheboygan, Wisconsin, is about halfway between Green Bay and Milwaukee. If you’re in the area and looking for somewhere to grab a pizza, the city has you covered. Keep reading to learn where three of the best pizza places are in Sheboygan.
Faye’s Pizza
Located on Calumet Avenue, Faye’s Pizza has been in business since 1957 and continues to serve pizza the same way since it opened. Its dough is handmade daily, and all of its vegetables are hand-chopped. Faye’s Pizza also uses the freshest Wisconsin cheeses to top off all of its pizzas.
You can create your own pizza, which comes in 10-, 13-, 15-, and 17-inch sizes. Or you can order one of the specialty pizzas. The Cajun pizza includes a special blend of Cajun seasoning, Italian sausage, onions, jalapeño peppers, and sweet red peppers. Another popular option is the taco pizza, which comes with homemade taco meat blended pizza sauce and baked with mozzarella cheese. When it comes out of the oven, it’s topped with lettuce, tomato, cheddar cheese, Tostitos chips, and black olives. As a bonus, you can purchase frozen pizzas and heat them at home.
Il Ritrovo
Opened in 2000 by self-taught chef Stefano Viglietti and his wife Whitney, Il Ritrovo is a Neapolitan pizzeria that serves pizza and other authentic Italian cuisines. The married couple owns four restaurants in the Sheboygan area. Il Ritrovo, which is found on South 8th Street, is certified by the Associazione Vera Pizza Napoletana, which is an international organization that represents the oldest families of pizza makers and Neapolitan pizzerias. The food showcases the best of Italy and local farmers and offers seasonal and sustainable ingredients.
The restaurant offers takeout Monday through Thursday, lunch Monday through Saturday, and dinner Monday through Saturday. Try the Lombardia, which includes mozzarella, taleggio, roasted mushrooms, sliced onion, and Italian sausage. Or order the Burrata e Zucca, which features burrata, black truffle cheese, roasted zucchini, sliced prosciutto, and chopped tomato.
Prohibition Bistro
Found on South Pier Drive, Prohibition Bistro began when the owners had a passion for pizza and built an oven in a backyard. It was there where the owners practiced making pizzas for three years, and then they opened in 1842. The 1920s-era Neapolitan pizzeria and wine bar features authentic wood-fired Neapolitan pizza heated in a handcrafted oven from Naples, Italy. The oven arrived from overseas in 2003.
Open Sunday through Thursday from 5 until 9 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 5 until 10 p.m., Prohibition Bistro offers more than a dozen types of pizzas on its menu. Try the corn, which comes with homemade mozzarella, ham, corn, crème fraîche, and fresh basil. Or dig into the marsala beef, which includes braised beef in a red wine reduction, caramelized onions, portabella mushrooms, crème fraîche, mozzarella cheese, and fresh basil.
Wisconsin is known for its cheese, and these three Sheyboygan-area pizza places serve some of the best pizza adorned with fresh mozzarella. The hardest part might be finding out which place to try first.
