They told us it'd be an hour and a half wait because they had some kind of camp bus coming in. Disappointing. So we went somewhere else.

We are staying in Minocqua for the evening and wanted to grab a bite to eat. We walked past Alexander's, which is located 0.2 miles away from the hotel we're staying at, and decided to eat there out of convenience and we were hungry. The staff was friendly but the restaurant was quite noisy and busy with children. My husband rated the pizza a 3 and I rated the pizza a 2. He thought the crust, although very thin, was still too "bready" and filling. I rated the pizza a 2 because it was very greasy, I didn't care for the crust, and it gave me instant heartburn. *Also to note, the restaurant doesn't have any windows and the women's restroom only has one stall. Not very convenient with so many people dining/hanging out. read more

Alexander's Pizza - Alexander's - Pizza Near Me - Minocqua, Wisconsin

See all

You go to a pizza place for pizza. Atmosphere is a bit dark with no windows. It was clean so that's a positive. Video games included crappy old shoot em um game marketed towards deer hunters. Also there were a few bins with old stuffed animals with the crane which looked like they were there from 1990. Atmosphere: 2 We ordered 3 pizzas, 1 cheese, 1 half pepperoni half sausage, and one deluxe. They asked if we wanted canned or fresh mushrooms on the deluxe, which I thought strange but some kids don't like the texture of fresh. The sauce tasted like from a low quality jar sauce; like something you would find on a shelf in a gas station convenient mart. The pizza was served in the square cut fashion. Crust was thin and a bit over cooked. It's the type of food you eat when you are hungry and need something to eat or you've had too many drinks to care. The fresh mushrooms ended up being the only thing that tasted good. Food quality: 1 Any frozen pizza in better than this cuisine. Overall if you are real hungry and you're already sitting down, order the minimum to not be hungry. Better yet, run for the hills, then go home and heat up a frozen pizza to improve your day. read more

Alexander's Pizza - What a could eat from the one piece I could get down - Pizza Near Me - Minocqua, Wisconsin

Friendly staff, clean atmosphere and quick turn around! The only thing from rating 5 stars is that there were 4 of us in a booth and 2 pizza pans but we had nowhere to put our plates so I ate holding my plate. Maybe a tiered raised set up would be nice? read more

Pizza is decent- not memorable but certainly adequate. Our kids love the arcade games to keep them entertained during the wait. My biggest complaint is that pizza is the only item on the menu. Not a salad or any other option in sight. Based on this, won't return but if you are cool with just decent pizza, it's a good option and a great location when dining with kids in Minocqua read more

Both Minocqua Pizza and Monical were closed today, so we ended up at Alexander's. It has a really unassuming storefront and I thought it would be just a carry out place or maybe have one or two tables. The place is huge! It could easily accommodate really large groups of people. The staff was super friendly. The many booths and picnic tables were spotless. The carpet, though, is ancient. I saw a banner on the wall that said they'd been around since 1972. I'm afraid that carpet has, too. The menu is short and sweet. We ordered a 10" Big Al (meat lovers) and a 10" Supreme. My husband was really impressed that they asked him if he wanted canned or fresh mushrooms. There are two pool tables, a foosball table, and several video and crane games to keep the kiddos busy. It's too bad they don't have background music - only a jukebox. It's on the expensive side, $24 for two small pizzas. They were good, though. Hand-tossed crust, really good sauce (and a lot of it) and plenty of toppings. I just keep thinking that if you were to add drink prices and then quarters (dollars, in some cases) for games, it could end up being a really spendy night out. read more

Alexander's Pizza - Plenty of room! :) - Pizza Near Me - Minocqua, Wisconsin

Love this place it has pool tables, a game room, no heads, family seating, and good pizza. Definitely worth eating at.

We have a cabin up north and have been going to Alexander's for years. It's a great spot to get together with family and friends and spend an evening. They both deliver and offer pick-up, so even if you want to eat at home you can enjoy this wonderful pizza. I personally recommend the cheese fries! Be sure to stop by and tip the staff generously; they're super friendly and accommodating! read more

Great Pizza !!!! Fast and friendly staff. Enjoyed it. Located right downtown!!! And you kids will love the games.

After coming to Minocqua for years we finally tried the staple pizza joint that has been around forever. I feel as though the pizza was centered around the crust, which was very tasty with a nice crisp to it. However, the rest of the pizza was underwhelming. Barely enough sauce to even see, much less taste (which my wife was a fan of, but I prefer more sauce). Also, we ordered a 3 topping pizza and I felt like it was a 1 topping pizza with 3 different 1/3 choices, as there were pieces without any toppings on it and they were stingy. Again, the crust carried it or it would've been really disappointing, but all in all I expected better. read more

I was born and raised in Minocqua and Alexander's has ALWAYS been my favorite pizza place aside from Mama's (now closed) so many memories have been made there with me and my family. I go there every once in a while now when I have the extra money too and they're pizza is always how I remember, absolutely amazing! read more

YUMMY had a supreme and it was good. Be aware VERY kid friendly and is noisy when there are a lot of children around - if you don't like the noise ... take it to go. read more

Best pizza in the northwoods! No trip to Minocqua is complete without some Alexander's Pizza. read more

Alexander's Pizza - We love Alexander's Pizza! - Pizza Near Me - Minocqua, Wisconsin

I give this place two stars based on the cute downtown location and family environment. I ordered our staple, pepperoni and mushroom. The mushrooms from a can, probably from China too. The pizza crust was thin and crunchy, nothing special at all. I don't prefer a cracker pizza that's all. read more

Alexander's Pizza - Canned shrooms! - Pizza Near Me - Minocqua, Wisconsin

We ordered delivery for a Friday night. The delivery quote was off by about 30 minutes. Half the pizza was stuck to the top of the box which made it rather inedible unfortunately. For a $24 dollar pizza it was not worth it. Such a bummer because this place used to be pretty legit. read more

Alexander's Pizza - Pizza was just delivered and this is the condition (minus some pieces that had to be eaten). The taste was mediocre. - Pizza Near Me - Minocqua, Wisconsin

I'll be honest and say that I was pleasantly surprised when I tried their pizza for the very first time. Their thin crust had a crispier crunch to it than I thought it would, which I have to say was the highlight. The cheese/sauce were decent, and the toppings could've honestly been a bit better. Jalapeños are canned, and their pineapples aren't much either. Overall a decent pie, and pleasant atmosphere. C+ read more

Honestly, I recommend this place. At first I had a bad feeling about this feeling then I liked it, they have video games, arcades, candy machines. All sorts of whistles and bells. When we got the pizza we tried it, out of everyone I probably liked it the least but it was ok, the candy machine also has mostly bad candies. But sometimes they have sugar sticks, Smarties, and some others. And then we finished. The place, 9 out of 10. The food 7 out of 10. The games 9 out of 10. And the crane machines, 6 out of 20. So in the end, will we come back? Yes. Do I recommend it? Yes. Hope you enjoy the food. Good bye. read more

I give this place a solid 3 stars, and they do deliver within 5 miles of the restaurant. The pie is good, have I had better? Hell yes, have I had better service? Without a doubt since I didn't see a person working over the age of 17, but was it good and would I eat it again, well yes and keep in mind this is Minocqua not NYC. read more

This is a great place for parties! Was here with some friends for a couple parties and had great food, service and even a couple games in a game room to play on! Even our brave responders apparently love it here! read more

Simply bad pizza. It's as if they mixed flour and water and let it do nothing to turn into dough. They skimped on the chicken topping as well. I'm not a big Yelp contributor. But I write when compelled by performance -- either great or lousy. read more

Awesome pizza made with quality ingredients. They burnt the first pizza but made it right and baked another quickly and offered free stuff to make up for it read more

Ordered delivery - 3 small pizzas. Delivery was on time, though they forgot a small side we ordered. Overall we were disappointed - went to the hotel restaurant to get some hot sauce to give the pizza some flavor. Crust was crispy but bland. Agree with previous "cardboard" reviews. All toppings are placed under the cheese - placing them on top allows for more water evaporation and concentration of flavor - maybe that would help? Or maybe the quantity is too low. Overall it was nice to have delivery, but would not choose this for pizza in future. read more

Excellent pizza with crispy thin crust and quality toppings. Unpretentious atmosphere and affordable cold beer. A+ in my book

As soon as I walked in the employees greeted me with big smiles, and made me feel welcome. When I ordered my food I sat down, and before I knew it they brought it straight to my table. The pizza was absolutely delicious and I enjoyed every bite. After I was finished they offered to box up my food and bid me farewell. This is one of the best pizza joints I've ever been to. read more

This place is a throw BACK to the 80's. It feels like the owners are trying to provide a hangout for the loud hunter youth of the area. Pizza is thin crust, not Chicago style like the sandwich board ad outside their place says they compete with. If you are looking for a quiet sit down place for pizza this is not the place. read more

Loved our experience here!! Super friendly service, awesome thin crust pizza (and we are picky!!) and had fun playing pool and the jukebox while we waited. We will be back!! Really fun pizza place!! read more

We had ordered some pizzas to eat while we watched movies. They came in good time and smelled delicious . Kids dove into their cheese. We started to eat our garbage(sausage,onion,green pepper and mushrooms). I then noticed a coarse dark brown hair in my slice. I called the resturant and they told me it was cheese.? This WAS not cheese. They sent the driver back and he looked at it. He tried to break it as a piece of cheese would, nothing happened. He said he could refund our money if he took the pizzas back. Well my kids ate theirs, so no refund. Regardless something should have been done I did not want my money back, I wanted some good pizza. The driver was great the manager not so much, I believe customer service skills need to be revisited. read more

Pizza was good, but not great; too much oregano for my taste. I have no idea why the toppings moved to the middle and the outside pieces had only dried sauce on them. Paper plates and plastic cups? Come on, hire a dish washer! Why the extra charge for refills on the soda? Just increase the price and allow free refills. Soda costs nothing!! read more

I am from Chicago, and we go up to the northern woods every year. We always go to this place. They have a very good pizza, a great atmosphere pitchers of pop, and the staff has been great, a great little picture machine for couples. I recommend a stop in if your in Minocqua. read more

Went there with the kids. Crust was like cardboard and sauce had no flavor. Canned mushrooms which I do not like. Service was good. Have to pass next time. read more

Came in last night with a group of family and friends. Counter staff was friendly. Pizza was absolutely delicious! We had a couple of pizzas and some of their pizza fries. Will definitely be back on our next trip to the North Woods. read more

The pizza was decent, but it took nearly an hour took get it. It feels like an episode of That 70's show inside, which I liked. If I got my pizza quicker I would have given 4 stars. read more

My wife and I went and had a pizza at Alexanders last night. I've had their pizza several times before, and it was always very good. I don't know if it was because we were there right before closing, but on this particular evening the pizza was not as good as it usually is. All in all though, it was still a good pizza, and the staff was accommodating as usual. We will definitely be back. read more

If I could give the place 0 stars I would. We walked in and a family didn't know that the place doesn't box up the leftovers for you so they had to walk up to the counter and do their own. After I'm assuming waiting for some time. They were not happy. Should have been a sign for us to turn around and walk out. The girl at the register said they never box food because she doesn't feel comfortable touching others people's food. We order a 12in pizza. My son is playing games. My husband and I wonder what's taking so long after a table that came in after received their food...... What was taking over 30 min and being 1 of 3 tables.... Is because the kids making the food were to busy eating their own pizza in the kitchen instead of making ours. After we said something we requested our money back. However my husband said he tipped them after we left the restaurant. He went back in and requested the tip back and the girl said she didn't charge it.... Time will tell when the transaction clears my bank acct if she charged the $2 tip or not. Will not recommend this place to any one. read more

Absolutely , positively ....horrible !!! Pizza was not made the way we ordered, so instead of informing us of the situation,they assumed it was appropriate to rearrange the toppings with their bare hands and assure us it was made correct. Even though we witnessed them doing so. Sign out front claims " best pizza north of Chicago". We've honestly had a better $3 frozen pizza. Obviously, they've never been ANYWHERE south of Minocqua ... Would not recommend this place to my worst enemy....yuck :'( read more

Order the pizza as take out! The pizza is delicious, even the gluten free. The restaurant itself is a disaster. U will eat off paper plates with plastic silverware, be outnumbered by video games, be greeted by employees that have zero charisma or care, deal with the loud noise, and sit at a table that has been minimally cleaned at best. Save yourself the headache and order out. I wish I had. read more

Was excited to find a gluten free pizza place that delivered, however ended up taking the sparse toppings off to eat seperately as the crust was horrible. read more

Great place to hang out w/ the family. The pizza is good (not great) + a decent price. Staff friendly + helpful. My kids love coming here. Wish they had better games in game room area for the kids. I would recommend trying at least once. read more
