I was recommended this pizza joint by a friend of mine from Boston, Massachusetts, whom was traveling with me on a recent September trip to Appleton, Wisconsin.
It was a couple of nights before the 2015 Fox Cities marathon and pizza was on the menu. My friend and I were famished for pizza and ended up here in downtown Appleton. It was kind of cool to eat here, especially after a long whirlwind drive up to Green Bay from Schaumburg, IL and back to Appleton. It just had to be done, I guess. My friend and I arrived here at about 7:30pm on a balmy Friday night. Small town living seemed to suit me and it was good to be here at the Broken Pizza restaurant. The restaurant itself was kind of small, but had heart and a rustic vibe that just was just cute in its own right. It was clean and comfortable. It had a few tables open, so we sat near the entrance and had a nice time. Even the waitress who took our order said that she had a sister in Kailua, when we told her that I was from HI. Small world, huh?
The Broken Pizza pizzeria is located at 124 Wisconsin Avenue in downtown Neenah. It's on the ground floor of this kiosk mini mall / office thingy that we kind of didn't find initially, but after closely searching, we got a handle on it. The parking can be found nearby - basically on street parking or a parking garage, but we decided on street parking for no muss or fuss. The Broken Pizza pizzeria accepts major credit cards, as well as cash, so that's always a good thing. Initially, we thought we had to pay up front first before we got our pizza. However, since we were dining in, we paid after the meal, which was just dandy too. The prices here were decently cheap and we had a whirlwind opportunity to do whatever we wanted, since we were on vacation and loading up for the upcoming 26.2 mile foot race. Sky's the limit, pretty much.
You can expect about $12-$15 for a medium to large specialty pizza. I believe you can build your own pizza, as well. I think I got a large pizza with bacon and portobello mushrooms. First time I decidedly chose bacon on a pizza and it worked out pretty well. The pizza came out about 15 minutes after the order came out. Needless to say, I devoured the entire thing in one sprint. Not exactly what I wanted to do, but it fit the bill. The restaurant itself was clean and organized. Rustic and just an interesting place to be on a Friday night here in Appleton, WI. The service was quick, friendly, and positive. It's a good place to get your pizza freak on, if you decidedly like pizza. The build your own pizza deal is pretty sweet as well. You can make it up as you go along.
I'd recommend this place, if you can't decide what you want to eat on a Friday night. Come here and see what's going on.
