You know I love a good hidden gem. Old Germantown is just that. We were in the general area-ish doing some shopping and wanted to get some pizza for takeout some place closeby to enjoy at home while watching the Olympics (because it's in Italy--so pizza seemed like just the thing). A search on Yelp brought up this place as somewhat closeby. It was after dark when we went in search of it. We drove down a rural road past what appeared to be a driveway that led to a farm. This can't be it. We tried again. Navigation brought us to the same driveway. My husband was ready to give up. I decided to call the business. A kindly gentleman answered and said--yep! It will look like you're driving to a farm but we're here! As we got closer to the end of the drive we saw a bustling parking area. While it might be hard to find--the people have found it. And, so did we. We entered to find beer hall vibes with tons of communal seating. We asked if we could order to go which they were more than willing to accommodate. We found a couple bar stools at their bar, ordered our salads and pizza, and then enjoyed a couple of stout beers while we waited. The beers, salad, and the pizza straight from their wood fired pizza oven were all fantastic. We got one of their specialty pizzas which was a white pie that comes with ricotta (as well as mozz) mushrooms, and basil on a crust that has just the right amount of chewiness and char. Lovely! The folks working here were above-and-beyond friendly. And, one told us that they have a large outdoor patio during pleasant months. We will definitely be back during the pleasant months. And, let's be real--during the less than pleasant months as well. Get to it! read more

This is definitely a hidden gem that you'd never just stumble across. There is no signage at all and from the street it looks like an old barn off the road. Upon driving in there is a building for the restaurant along with nice outdoor seating, and area for kids to play! We went in mid May on a sunny but cool evening. The kids loved having the sand area and toys to play with while waiting for dinner to arrive. They have a good menu, but there seemed to be a decent amount of items unavailable especially the sausages my friends wanted to try. We ended up with the spring pizza, sassy pig, a plain cheese, and then a three combo of sausages. I thought the pizza was all good, not the best I've ever had but solid. The spring pizza was my favorite. The sassy pig was very unique but good! Personally, I wasn't a huge fan of the sausages but others in my group liked them. We upgraded that to include fries and there was only a very small amount. We will definitely be back, seems like a great spot for groups! read more

First time coming here wasn't hard to get to. Staff was wonderful very attentive everyone checks on you making sure you and your group is well taken care of. I like the ordering style. You can open a tab on your phone for yourself or everyone you're with. The food came quick. First we had spinach artichoke dip. The chips were salty and crunchy (a good thing) and the dip was very rich and flavorful. Next came out our pizza we got margheta and a pepperoni pizza. Both were amazing the pepperoni pizza was very cheesy something about this place all the flavors were rich. The margheta pizza was also amazing everything tasted like it was created in the restaurant. You can taste every ingredient in the pizza welly combined. The lemonade was also homemade and came in beautiful cups. Overall the food was amazing. I definitely will be coming back and can't wait until the summer the outside of the restaurant looks like it's going to be beautifully lit up and a great vibe. Almost forgot about desert!!!! The chocolate gelato tasted nothing like anything I've had before it tasted like you were eating a chocolate bar like the expensive chocolate bars. Definitely a hidden gem that deserves hype. read more

One of our favorite spots to go as a family! The outdoor play area for kids is very convenient. Sometimes the wait for pizza can get long so get there early to beat the rush. I love the margarita pizza and my husband gets the gluten free, while it's not the best it is pretty good for gf. read more

Old Germantown - Gluten free (left) Margarita (right) by the kids play area - Pizza Near Me - Germantown, Wisconsin

This is a true hidden gem, there is no signage when you turn down the road or even when you arrive. We sat in the outdoor back area that was surrounding by barns. There was a large play area that the kids loved. The QR ordering system was simple and convenient options to split the tab or order as a group. But you can also go inside to order, if you prefer. We ordered two pizzas (sassy pig and harvest) that had creative toppings that paired well together. I do wish the pizza crust held up a little better, especially towards the center of the pizza. We also got the 3 sausage platter and chose the Choriqueso, Slovenian, and Brat. The Slovenian was my favorite, but it was great to try the variety. I don't normally enjoy waffle fries, but they were cooked and seasoned to perfection. I ordered a Lager OG which was delicious. Staff were very nice and friendly! read more

This place is so unassuming! It feels like you're going out to the boondocks when driving here. Arriving to a big barn with nothing else around is so unique. We went there on a late Saturday afternoon with a big group - six adults and six kids. Luckily, this place is great for that, as it almost feels like a big hall with massive tables. Love that they have a QR codes at each table making for easy ordering. You view the menu, place your orders, and pay via the app, and then someone brings your items right to the table. I feel like that works so well for groups who are all ordering on their own accord. The wine was generously poured and tasty, and my husband really liked the beer. The pretzel bites app weren't my favorite, and my kiddos unfortunately didn't eat them. They were deep fried, I think. The wood over pizza on the other hand was so yum!! We got the marg and a pepperoni and they were both prefect in their simplicity. The outside space it wonderful! We visited as the weather has turned cooler, so didn't expect to go outside but we ended up enjoying it for a bit. I can see how great it would be in the warm months. Tons of tables, a big fire pit, lots of space (and toys) for kiddos. All in all it's a great kept secret and we'll look forward to returning! read more

We especially enjoy the fresh, tasty food...friendly staff...relaxed atmosphere. We are regular patrons.

What a gem of a place!! We came here for the first time with friends and it was such a great experience. It's out in the middle of the country, the driveway comes up Quick haha make sure you're paying attention. Easy parking and beautiful farmstead property that has been done extremely well for entertaining. There's ample outdoor, covered seating and we easily grabbed a table on a Friday evening at 4:30pm - it was a weird weather night and our friends told us it's normally busier. Let me tell you, this is an amazing spot for families!! It had a fenced in feeling and tons of outdoor play toys to keep them busy. We felt very comfortable letting them roam freely and we were able to enjoy our drinks and food. You order online and the service was incredibly prompt - drinks came out within 5 minutes! It's beer/wine/seltzer, they don't have a hard liquor license. Big food menu but we stuck to their thin crust pizzas which were delicious. They had a ton of gluten free options which I appreciated! Sadly I didn't capture a photo of them, we ate too quickly. Such friendly and accommodating staff. We will 100% be coming back here again keep up the great work read more

We had a special celebration and brought 85 guests who had a blast at Old Germantown. It was winter and OG arranged perfect seating indoors, without having to close to the public. OG preplanning was thoughtful and effective. Dawn and Georgina ran the show during the party, providing exquisite hospitality. Our guests raved about the food (pizza, sausage and pretzel bites) and the comfortable accommodations. Great venue and great value! read more

My last brewery stop on a quick marathon stop in town a few weeks ago. Friendly and knowledgeable Luke discussed beers w me that I trusted him to "pour me whichever one" i got chatty w some locals so opted for some pretzel bites that came w a delicious dipping sauce; that when i asked Luke for a box, hd added another full sauce, thanks. A few bites in to my order the gal next to me who had recommended them and told me her first order was overcooked, said mine were too. I continued eating.... then noticed: yes, these are too done... bummer! They have to get that dialed in, serve better prepared food. At that point i felt id ate too much to send them back or complain, so that was a bummer. But...i came for the beet and the few i tried were great. Old Germantown is a fun venue w easy parking. I didnt peruse any of their food offerings but worth a try if you head over. Thanks Luke for the knowledgeable beer chat and the tasty beers, cheers. read more

We have gone to Old Germantown many a times now and it's always a crowd pleaser! The space itself is a pizza and beer barn with an awesome outside seating area as well. Plenty of parking in the gravel lot out front. Lots of seating options inside and outside for small and larger groups! You order inside the barn and then they bring everything to your table, which means you get to kick back and enjoy the company. Staff is usually friendly and attentive when ordering and delivering, and don't hover while you enjoy your time munching and sipping! The menu has a draft list of local and in-house brewed beers and some wines as well. I've tried a bunch of their beers over my many visits and rarely have a complaint! The food menu is comprised primarily of sausages and pizzas! I definitely recommend getting a variety of sausages to try some different styles (you can even take some frozen sausages home by stocking up at the freezers near the host stand). Pizzas are wood fired in a brick oven, rocking that chewy and charred crust that you know you love! Plenty of topping options to satisfy the crew! Overall, the perfect social atmosphere out here Old Germantown! When I'm in Wisconsin, there's a pretty great chance we end up at OG! read more

Love this place Been on the list for years Fantastic food Sausages are well made and well cooked, nice snappy casing which is important to me Pizza is outstanding with lots of topping varieties and ones you've never had before - I promise. But also will have the traditions for the ones that's want to keep it pedestrian out there. Vibe is kicked back farmhouse and friendly with micro brewed varieties in house. Worth a visit 100%!! read more

Great atmosphere on a farmstead. Kids were entertained with each other for over three hours while the adults enjoyed conversation and beer. Delicious wood fired pizzas and sausage. At least half of our group took home beer or sausages from the cooler. A wonderful afternoon! read more

Great atmosphere and service, not great pizza. The pizza looked amazing in reviews and pictures but the margarita pizza I got did not look like pictures and was not very good at all. Crust was overcooked and not in a good crispy way but a burnt tasting way. The sauce had a good flavor to it, but there was a very disappointing amount of mozzarella cheese and the undercarriage was super floppy. Basically just bread and not much else to the pizza. 4.2/10 Pizza Beer is super good and salad was good too. I'd like to come back in the future to try the sausage and pepperoni though it looked pretty solid. read more

Was in the area, which is rare, so I decided to stop and see what the hype was about. This place lived up to the hype for me. I decided to try the housemade sausage platter and scratch made pizza, since I don't know when I'll be back out here. You can order 3 or 5 sausages in the platter, which comes with fries, or order one sausage in a bun. I opted for 3 sausages. There were 7 choices, and I chose the Slovenian, Polish, and French because I like Polish sausage and never had Slovenian and French sausage. Wow! Sausages are grilled over open flame and all were spectacular, and the French was my favorite, as I found it to have the most unique flavor profile, as well as being very bold like "punch you in the face because it's so good"! The sausage platters come with fries, and I love crinkle cut fries, so bonus. There were a LOT of specialty pizza options, but my "control" is always Italian sausage and pepperoni. The pizza dough is made from scratch and baked in wood-fired oven, being carefully tended to. The spicy (but not overly spicy) Italian sausage with visible fennel seeds was excellent, as was the thin sliced pepperoni, which was wide and looked more line sopressata to me. The Grande cheese blend and sauce were also packed with flavor, with the sauce leaning toward spicy and savory versus sweet. I hope my leftovers reheat well. :) Service was friendly, welcoming, and considerate. The atmosphere was "family friendly" with a moderate noise level. They also have a large craft beer selection, which they make next door. I didn't try any beer on this visit, so I can't speak to it, but I'll bet there are at least a few beers I would like. I would 100% come here again, and I highly recommend making the trip here. read more

I don't like to do reviews on newer establishments if they are really good because once the secret is out the place gets super busy and the quality of everything goes down. Well, it's too late now. This place is open Thursday through Sunday and the secret is out. We've been here several times and haven't been disappointed once. You place your order yourself up at the counter and they bring it to your table. Pizzas are excellent. It is a very family friendly place with lots of wide open space inside and outside for the kiddies. They also have an extensive beer menu. No hard alcohol. Even though the employees are working their butts off, they are still friendly and cheerful and helpful. It's out in the country but not too far from civilization. I give it five stars. read more

Have to update my review from 4 years ago...sadly, not the same amazing food/experience as the last few times. Our food came out in bits and pieces and those who got a pizza sat while we ate our burgers. Burgers have gotten much smaller. Took well over an hour for the pizza. This has always been our fun place to go 0h, and once again, only a few types of sausages available. We were looking for the standards.... Polish, etc. I truly hope it was just an off night for them and us. read more

They were short staffed so menu was limited to pizza and two appetizers. We wanted pizza anyways, got the Milwaukee pizza and a cheese pizza for the kids. Took over an hour, but they had some games which kept the kids occupied. Pizza was decent, great flavors, and toppings. Crust may have been a touch undercooked, not raw or doughy but another minute in the oven would have been perfect. Would like to come back and try some other items sometime, hopefully full menu is available! read more

Brought me soup with no spoon, sausage was good in soup just would cut smaller pieces. Weiss beer had a strange taste and found a fruit fly in one of our glasses, beer not served in a mug. Pretzel bites and pizza were good. Chicken sandwich had a strange taste, not really tasting like chicken. You pay tip prior to being served, kinda strange. It should be based on your service. read more

Arrived to find restaurant packed. Customers have to seat themselves and either place the order online or go to the counter to order. I ordered at the counter. Waited 30 minutes for a pizza.

We took an eight mile drive from Cedarburg through farm land and emptiness to find this hidden gem. Wow, the area was totally dark and then this spark of light. There it was, a full parking lot and tons of people! We were greeted at the door by a fun, pleasant guy who took care of us for the night. We sat at the bar, met the owner, and a few others. Great pizza, great beer! Take the time and try it!! read more

Old Germantown is a hidden gem offering a very interesting dining experience. Super casual with a community oriented theme. We felt like we walked down to Main Street to have dinner with the town folks. Between the large, "sit anywhere you find a spot," shared tables and the friendly staff, you feel at home. The converted barn offers a large, open dining area and views of the kitchen and wood-fire pizza oven. The owner checked in on us several times and asked for honest feedback about the dishes. I had the chicken apple sausages with potato pancakes - he was excited that I braved ordering them because they were just introduced on the menu. They were very good, full of little bites of apple with a hint of sweetness. The potato pancakes were thin and crispy. A little salty for my taste, but my husband disagreed and thought they were seasoned just right. My husband had a wood-fired pizza which was also very good. Good amount of cheese, sauce, and toppings. It could've been left in the oven for a couple of more minutes to get the crust a little crispier, but still tasty. Food is served as it is ready, so it arrives at the table very fresh and very hot. It reminded me of a Tapas restaurant - I think it would be fun to go with a group and share everything as it's served. The restaurant is focused on making homemade food featuring Wisconsin products. They brew many of their own beers. My husband learned the Pilski he ordered was brewed with polish hops grown from a farmer in upper Wisconsin. Overall we enjoyed going and will be back. It looks like in the summer they have outdoor seating and a beer garden, which will be great for relaxing with friends. read more

I'll start by saying that I love the setting and the ambiance of Old Germantown. The beer selection is outstanding. The staff is top notch. The reason for my poor review is I was disappointed in the pizzas. The flavor of the pizzas was excellent, but they fell down where the toppings are concerned. The amount of each topping was somewhat sparse. Secondly, there was 2" of bare crust on the outside. I like a good crust as much as anybody else, but that much bare crust is too much. read more

Best kept secret for wood fired pizza in Germantown. Driving up, you wouldn't even know it's there, other than a few discreet "OG" logos here and there. But as you round the corner, you come across a red barn and parking area confirming you are indeed at the right place. The menu is well thought out, with a variety of creative pizza and sausage flavors to please every pallate. We enjoyed the Mushroom Ricotta pizza. It has subtle, well-balanced flavors and contrasting textures of the crist crust and super-soft ricotta cheese. The pizza was a little smaller than I expected for $17, but it still fed 2 of us a nice lunch portion. And still worth the price for a genuine wood-fired pizza. The service is friendly, but food can take a while if they are busy. They even have the packer game on the big screen on game days. (Quiet enough you can watch it or ignore it.) read more

Old Germantown is a great place to spend a sunny, relaxed afternoon with friends. It's super interesting - there's no sign, they don't really advertise but word of mouth has made it very popular. The owners took the family farm and turned it into a microbrewery, sausage shop, wood fired pizza place and beer garden. The inside space is large and relaxed but gets loud when they're busy. The outside is perfect on a sunny day - you're surrounded by farm fields and nature. They have live music too. Beer wise, they have an interesting variety plus a few of their own brews. There are options for wine, seltzer and cider but no cocktails. Food wise, there are homemade sausages that are great - the varieties change regularly and go beyond the basic brat. Or you can do a handmade, wood fired pizza. We tried 3 (they're about 12-13" on hand formed dough) - one with pork, apples, pickles and BBQ, a plain sausage and the Forager which is mushroom and arugula. Honestly, these are top tier pizzas - everything was high quality, fresh and delicious. If they were in the city (and not on a farm on the middle of nowhere) I don't doubt they'd be on "best pizza" lists. The owners are super nice, the prices are fair and the food is great. Take the drive out on a nice day - you won't regret checking them out. read more

Waited 40 mins for a pizza. When I approached after I saw multiple people that got there after me receive their food to ask where my pizza was no one knew and then finally a pizza was given to me. I was told they didn't want me to leave upset and they'd refund my credit card for the transaction. Instead I was only refunded the 20% tip I left when I paid for the food prior to me sitting down which makes me even more angry. Don't tell a customer they'll receive a refund and then not follow through. Based on this experience I would not recommend the place. read more

Yum, yum, yum! Honestly what a great place that has such great services, locally brewed beer and fresh ingredients. What a fun place to grab a beer, enjoy the beauty and outdoors and have some delicious food. I'd recommend having the sausage platter as a starter while you wait for your pizza. The pizza is great with fresh ingredients, they tell you ahead of time, WAIT time is long but so WORTH IT. Can't wait to go back again! And I was told on the weekends they have live music. read more

What a magnificent find Old Germantown is. Stopped in based on other reviews on the way from Milwaukee to Green Bay for a 49ers and Packers game. Germantown is off the beaten path for a tourist and at the point you think you are heading to the wrong spot you arrive to see the restaurant. Despite being busy there was plenty of parking and hardly a wait to be seated. The gentleman that helped us with the menu selection and recommendations was extremely welcoming and gracious and it made for a great start of the trip. The menu has a wide selection of sausage and pizza choices as well as great tasting appetizers and salad options. The beer selection is vast and you won't be disappointed if brews are your choice of beverage. Highly recommend doing a plate where you can sample a few of the sausages, especially if you won't be a regular here. Not sure when I will be back in this part of the country again, but I am up to make a detour here again should I ever find myself in this area. read more

Seriously well hidden gem! This place has AMAZING pizza. Probably the best wood fired pizza I've ever had. Everything is so fresh and delicious. We ordered the potato fritters to start and they were good, the onion jam really made it! Then for dinner we had the mushroom ricotta pizza and it was to die for. Honestly, the best! The family had the Greek pizza and the smokey t and both were amazing from what we heard.
