Hi,

I am hog tying my family to Wells Brothers for pizza tonight. Yes, the $20 large single-topping pizza, pitcher of pop and garlic bread deal.

I plan to order the salad, too. They have a base price for the salad, then $x per person. It always seems to be a big salad, do people really add more servings to the salad. I ask now to avoid the eye roll from someone at the table.

Regards,
Cathy2

C2, it’s your birthday today. Live a little. Order all the salad you want!
Happy Birthday!

Hi,

We did order the Tuesday special: one large single ingredient pizza (We added more: sausage, pepperoni, mushroom, onion and pepper), garlic bread and pitcher of pop with one refill (or several small beers or a bottle of wine). Plus Buffalo wings, their pizza of the month (Mediterranean with feta, artichoke, tomato, olives, feta and a Balsamic drizzle), and their antipasto salad for four (we were five).

I remember the antipasto salad for two was big, but doubled up it was really, really big. Nobody had less than two servings and still half came home with us.

To my delight, my family liked it enough they agreed they could be easily persuaded to return. I live with practical people who consider an 80 mile round trip for pizza a bit much. Now they have experienced how wonderful cracker thin crust pizza can be, they are willing to take the dive again. Of course, only time will tell.

Regards,
Cathy2

The Wednesday 1 or 2 topping pizza has gone from $10 to $12.
The other $20 Specials remain the same.

The crust is ultra thin & crispy, and the sauce, as Fishie notes is good, but I did like the toppings, one especially to to note was mushrooms, at Zaffiro's they are canned but at Wells Bros they are fresh.

Mushrooms were canned in my latest visit to Wells Brothers on Saturday. Big disappointment. Everything else was excellent.

I haven't been to Well's Bros in years. I prefer Mike and Angelo's on HWY 20 in Mt Pleasant. I always ask for a crispy crust. Bud, have you ever tried Mike and Angelo's? It's been our Racine go to and carry out Pizza for over 30 years. The other pizza place in Racine is Nonna Wells, a relative of Well's Bros. I like Wells Bros over Nonna Well's and Mike and Angelo's is my favorite.

I have not, but did note that you are a fan, the fact that Mrs Willie had never been to Wells Brothers sealed the deal to take her there. We visited the SC Johnson HQ designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, had Wells Brothers, then were intending to go to Wingspread but ran out of time, we'll be up to see Wingspread and will visit Mike & Angelo's

Have not tried Mike & Angelos.
Once I found the crispy thin crust Basil Pizza at Well’s I was hooked.
The $20 Specials and the then $10 Pizza (Now $12) on Wednesday along with $1 cans of Hamm’s reinforced my habit.
BTW Wingspread is not be missed. Climb the observation stairway.

I've had Mike and Angelo's once. I do remember preferring Wells Brothers. What about the pizza joint attached to the chocolate store - Derango The Pizza King? How's that? It looked pretty good when I was getting some chocolate. In my heyday I would have gotten a pizza too.
