We ordered a margherita pizza (with the addition of olives) for takeout. It was ready at the time we requested. It was absolutely excellent. Loved the chewiness of the crust! I think it was one of the two best pizzas I have had in the Milwaukee area!! read more

Great way to warm up during a Milwaukee winter. Calm and smooth vibes inside the pizzeria accompanied by a home feeling dining experience. The pizzas themselves.... Immaculate! Great blends of flavor combinations as well as that perfect crunchy/ soft combo crust! The pizzas are crafted with house special dough and therefore take time to perfect in the oven, but the flavor is well worth the wait. Staff were friendly and responsive! read more

We called to get a pizza to go and the person on the phone was friendly and when we picked up the pizza, she was so lovely! The pizza we chose is AMAZING (hogsback) and I have no photos of it because it was gobbled up too fast. The restaurant is smaller but looks cozy - I think we'll be eating in next time. I can't wait to work through this menu! read more

I'll start with the high points. Incredibly nice people. I think our server was one of the owners. Very unique pizza names and ingredient combinations. Small space and uncluttered but has a definite vibe--call it low key hiking lover hipster? If you want to dine-in, it's reservations only. We made an online reservation about 10 days in advance and had zero issues getting a table. Your reservation is only for 60 mins. Not sure if you get the boot then but we were in and out in about 50 mins. They also had super rad posters for their specialty pizzas available for $5. Yes, we bought one. How could we not? It was drawn by a local artist AND was for the pizza we decided to try. Score! Now, as for the pizza. We didn't like it. Mainly because it was SO greasy. It was dripping in grease and honestly just the upper half of the pizza was enjoyable. Flavors were bold and earthy but the grease took away from it all. Good crust-nice and chewy and you could tell it was fresh. They serve up wood fire pizza here and have specialty pizzas they swap out from time to time. Since we ordered a specialty pizza we could only order a 14" pizza which was a bit too big for two people but not impossible to get through most of it. Drinks like Sprechers root beer is available along with beer and wine. They offer 20% off wines on Wednesday! I think we will be back but before we order definitely will mention that we aren't fans of grease dripping pizza. read more

Finally decided to come here for dinner after taking this spot off my list due to the "rules" of picking up pizza or placing orders etc... so we never came. So now that we can dine in and place reservations online we finally made it and i am so happy we came! First it's a very small space so reservations are a must and you must specify qty of pizzas ordering ahead of time. Pizza can take a while but its worth it. Order some appetizers and drinks during the wait. You can't substitute their signature pies so you'll have to build your own with only 3 topping options. So we ordered a pizza with roasted mushrooms, sausage and green olives. This pizza made it to my number one spot. Wow was it delicious. The crust was so crispy and those roasted mushrooms were my favorite. I ordered the pear cider (will have again) and my bf had a cherry IPA beer which was super good. Just beware they dont have any canned soda besides sprecher products or la croix. We will be coming back and i definitely will want to try the focaccia bread appetizer. Staff is very attentive and friendly. Thank you for such a wonderful experience at wyeast! read more

I came to Wy'east Pizza after seeing that a few of my classmates had gone to this spot. I was very intrigued by the types of pizza offered. I ordered a glass of IPA and the Diablo Picante with crickets on the side. The pizza is overall pretty good. The candied jalapeños made the pizza a little too sweet for my taste. I think the pizza would've been fine with just plain jalapeños. The pizza came out very hot. The presentation of the pizza was good. I had two very solid cheese pulls when I went for my slices. Service was excellent. Very attentive. The only thing is that the drink menu wasn't the most up-to-date. I was hoping to get one of the beers that ended up not being available. I'll definitely be back to try some other pizzas. read more

The pizza here is amazing. The crust is crispy, the toppings are fresh, the sauce is delicious. I cannot say enough about how much I love this pizza.

I love Wy'east!!! When I lived in the Washington Heights neighborhood we would order take out regularly, and now I'm sad to have to drive across the city to pick up. The service is always great - the owners are lovely people. My favorite pizzas are the Hot Marmot and some of the seasonal specials. I'm also obsessed with the focaccia bread! It's amazing with their balsamic sauce. I haven't actually eaten in the restaurant, but from what I've heard, the pizza tastes even better when eaten in house! read more

I've worked minutes from Wy'east Pizza for more than four years, but only recently stopped for the first time. I carried out a Cape Blanco pizza which has olive oil, ricotta, mozzarella, pecorino, herbs, fresh garlic, cracked pepper, and sausage. As you can see in the picture I provided, they don't skimp on the ricotta or sausage. Other than the few parts of crust that were charred a bit more than I prefer, I thought the pizza was great and would gladly have it again if someone else is buying. I say "if someone else is buying" because the pizza is pricey at $21 before tax and tip. I get it; they are a non-chain restaurant and need to complete against more convenient and/or prevalent chain restaurants and I don't fault them for that. To me, though, this is a once-in-a-great-while pizza as compared to a regular occurrence simply due to the cost. read more

Wy'east Pizza - Cape Blanco pizza (olive oil, ricotta, mozzarella, pecorino, herbs, fresh garlic, cracked pepper, and sausage) - Pizza Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Ordered take out on a Sunday. Got the Cape Blanco and Hogsback (unfortunately/fortunately not called Hogsack from a diff review). Heard how great this place is and it lived up to the billing. Crust has a nice crunch and enough to hold while being soft where it matters (you're likely thinking of hogsack again...). Sauce on both was well proportioned. Ingredients were fresh and generous. Ricotta on Blanco was perfect. Many places over do it but this was spot on. My only hesitation is the pie selections. Some places I get anxiety picking just 1-2. There weren't a lot that SOUNDED appealing. Probably wrong on that if I tried them but they could benefit from having a few more traditional options IMO. Could just be the Italian in me speaking. I also get frustrated reading reviews when someone who hates spice tries something with peppers and leaves 1 star bc it was "too hot." Either way, try this spot read more

A review for this restaurant from me is long overdue as Wy'east is a staple in our take out rotation. Having grown up in Chicago, pizza for me always meant either thin tavern style pizza cut into neat squares or the occasional foray into deep dish pizza. Living in Milwaukee, there were plenty of similar options to occupy my interests. And then Wy'east turned it all upside down. My best description of pizza from Wy'east is a brick oven Neapolitan-esque pizza...but better. The pizzas are larger than traditional Neapolitan pizzas and one can easily feed two, probably three people. The dough is excellent and doesn't limply flop like many Neapolitan pizzas do under the weight of toppings. And leftovers the next days are heavenly after a couple minutes in an air fryer. Both the white and red pizzas are superb here, and the cheese actually sticks to the dough (one of the shortcomings of tavern style pizza). The hot marmot is a regular go to, and the Orion/Milky Way which is a seasonal white pizza is absolutely amazing. Easily one of the best pizza places I've tried in the MKE area! Make sure to order per instructions on the website! read more

We've been trying to spread the carryout love during the Pandemic, and the stars finally aligned to enjoy a pickup pizza from Wy'east. Wy'east is only taking phone orders from11:30 - 3:30pm the day before or day of pickup. Blondie's "Don't Leave Me Hangin' on the Telephone" comes to mind, as it has sometimes been difficult to connect with a busy businesses with limited ordering options. Online ordering flexibility is always appreciated. But if you do connect, it's well worth the effort. Contactless pickup was a breeze! Our seasonal pizza was fabulous! That cheese blend! SASQUASH roasted delicata squash, chopped walnuts, herbs, blend of buttermilk blue cheese, mozzarella, and pecorino romano cheeses We previously enjoyed the Hot Marmot pizza with Mama Lil's sweet hot peppers. Support your locals during the Pandemic! read more

Love the creative pizza, the charming space, and the friendly service at Wy'East! We've been a few times (always with an online reservation, since the space is so small) and it's always been a delight. Everyone who works there is so kind and its a very casual, cozy place. They have great specials and a nice variety of pizzas. Also, they are right up the road from the Times Cinema, so I highly recommend both for a charming night out. read more

Great place, cozy atmosphere. The service was quick. Had a beer while I waited..This is a very small place so call ahead or make reservations if you want to dine in. This place has great wood fired pizza. read more

Our feeling after eating here is just like one of the previous reviewers: why didn't we try this place sooner? This is definitely a tosa pizza gem. Hubby and I heard a lot of good comments about this restaurant so we decided to check it out on National Pizza Day. It was a cold and super snowy Sunday evening. We were welcomed by three warm smiley faces behind the counter as we walked in. Compact, clean, cozy restaurant with warm-toned lighting and lovely pizza aroma. We already felt good about the place. After sitting down, we could not make a decision on whether to have the Hot Marmot or the Sunday special Ring of Fire. Then we were told that the Ring of Fire pizzas were sold out already (they open at 3:30 but it was just 6:00pm at that time!) because of lots of take-out orders. We went for The Hot Marmot and had no regret at all. It looked huge in size, but should be enough for 1 hungry guy, or 2 normal diners, or 3 people who are not that hungry. Thin, airy, slightly flaky and chewy crust. A good amount of toppings. The soul is that delicious, juicy, and slightly sour Mama Lil's sweet hot peppers. The garlic is not overpowering. The pepperoni is not too heavy or too much - everything's just perfect. We will go back soon! For the Ring of Fire, we will make sure that we order early lol. read more

Amazing pizza! Take out is supeer popular here. The inside is small. Had it been busy, we definitely would have had to wait for a table. Nice selection I if beers available, including nearby brewery,, Vennture! We ordered the Yeti pizza which was a special that week. The pizza was delicious! Incredibly filling and we had leftovers. They have a beautiful brick pizza oven. Tip: what appears to be a parking lot, really only holds like two spots so do not bank on parking there. I'd go back for sure! read more

It's been 3+ years since Wy'east opened and they still march to their own drum. They said, the Nister and I have grown to appreciate this quirky, delicious local pizza spot. If you go, know that they've got some rules you might be surprised by - like no subs on some of the pies, or no more than one meat on a pizza. Persevere - if you are a person that appreciates a quality crust you won't find a better one in the city! Pizzas come in one size and easily serve 2 people / prices are in the $16-22 range. If you love a quality bread product, start with their homemade focaccia which is homemade perfection. It's soft, chewy and so delicious - one of the staffers said he liked to take it home to use for French toast! Speaking of staff, they're super kind and friendly. It's a very neighborhood place with most patrons walking up for a delicious dinner. They seem to have their flow down in terms of production and definitely take phone orders now. Wine and beer are available to complement your perfect pizza. Wy'east does it their way for sure but they bring the quality so I'm not mad. Stop by to check them out! read more

Pizza was amazinggggg. We got the cape blanco and it was one of the best pizzas I had. The crust was amazing. Our waitress was very friendly and we were able to sit outside which was nice! It is on a busy road so it was kinda loud on the patio but good to enjoy the sun. I wouldn't recommend getting their salads as they are kind of small and aren't really special but it was good. Would stick with just the pizza. read more

Yum! Finally came here after living in the neighborhood for 3 years and DEFINITELY will be back soon. Amazing crust- crunchy yet chewy at the same time and a great variety of toppings. Personally we went with the cape blanco and were really pleased with the topping to sauce/crust ratio. Nice beer menu too. Service was nice and food came out super quick. One of the top pizza joints in Milwaukee for sure- can't wait to come back. read more

Having recently moved to Milwaukee from the Pacific Northwest, we had to try this place based on the name alone. (IYKYK) Was a total bonus that their pizza was delicious, service impeccable, and records displayed on the walls indicate an equally impeccable taste in music. But back to the pizza... perfect thin crispy yet tender crust, good quality toppings, and a great spicy kick on the Hot Marmot. We'll be back for sure! read more

WY didn't I try this place sooner?!? The pizzas are phenomenal! Maybe the best I've ever had! We had the Loowit and the Zig-Zag and argued for 10 minutes over which one was best before settling on on a tie. I am not a crust lover, typically I leave them on the side of my plate as a reminder of how many pieces I've eaten. However, this crust was soft and airy like a freshly baked loaf of bread, I was tempted to put some butter on it like a soft bread stick. Highly recommend! We had take out but the place looks clean and cozy. read more

Super cool place. We just moved to MKE, and a friend said we HAD to go here because they have the best pizza. We love pizza, and when someone tells us the pizza is THAT good, we listen. IMPORTANT to know - tiny word fired oven - you've got to reserve a space for your pie - dine in or to go. We were lucky to find a spot. Reservations are for one hour only, We booked 4 pizzas for 6 people. That was too much pizza, we wanted leftovers, I'm not sorry. It was really good. The location is easy to find, Good signage, tiny parking lot, small dining room, very clean. Staff are super friendly. A few people dining at the same time seemed to be regulars. I think our server was one of the owners - she had food and drinks ready to go when another table arrived - so they must come in a lot! We studied the menu ahead of time so we would not waste table time ordering. We also tried 2 salads - house and arugula, garlic bread. The dipping sauce for the bread was great. We good basic cheese and 1 pepperoni (kids, so boring), and tried ring of fire and 3 sisters. Super fast service. The crust is amazing. Nice chew, char, doughiness. Not too thick and not too thin. I'd concur with another reviewer who said its a bit on the greasy side. Nothing a few napkins can't fix, if that kind of thing bothers you... I could do with 50% less cheese on the pizza, but I am not a huge cheese person (sorry Wisconsin, please don't disown me.) Maybe more vegan or cheese-less pie options (same pie, no cheese for a discount?) Also, I didn't see it, but I'd LOVE if they sold their dough?! It's not the same without the wood fired crisp, but the dough its like... amazing. So, so good. Cook it a freeze it and sell it to bake later? There's got to be a way to get people more of this pizza? Anyway, I digress. The Sprecker's sodas were a nice touch too. Cool owners, nice ambiance, great pizza, the crust - I have been dreaming of. We will be back (if we can get in!) read more

This was a great little pizza place. We sat on the patio which was very quaint. They also had a small dining area inside which was cute too. Our waiter was very attentive and made sure we had what we needed. Most importantly the pizza was awesome. The crust was a perfect thickness and the pizza was cut in slices which is critical for a good pie. We had the Hot Marmot which was wonderful. The sauce was great and there was a good amount of pepperoni on the pizza. Also, there was a little bit of a kick from the pizza due to the sweet hot peppers. Finally, for a small pizza place Wy'East had a great variety of beers to enjoy with our pizza. We had a very enjoyable meal and I would recommend Wy'East to anyone looking for a great pizza with a good beer. read more

I adore this spot. When I first moved to Milwaukee (a year ago), I lived in Washington Heights for a couple months. It was my supreme luck that my airbnb was about a three minute walk from Wy'east Pizza. They make a killer margharita, but my go-to has become their white pies. Their white pies all come with an olive oil base topped with herbs, shredded mozzarella, ricotta, and pecorino cheeses. They then differ by the additional toppings. One of my all time faves is their cloud cap, which comes with fresh mushroom, garlic, and rosemary. My other favorite is their cape blanco which comes topped with sausage, garlic, and cracked pepper. Even better, I get their cloud cap with sausage added (omg. delectable!). They have a small dining room for dining in, or, of course you can do takeout. Oh! And, in warmer months, they have outdoor seating as well. They typically have four local craft beers on tap (nice!) in addition to a decent bottle selection. I've heard, due to the thinness of the crust, they have some topping limitations, so if you like your pie loaded-this might not be the spot for you. Fortunately, I am more than happy with their specialty pies as is (with the occasional addition of sausage, which they have always been able to do for me). So, it is most definitely the spot for me. Get to it! read more

We four were not in the best of moods when we walked into Wy'east Pizza. Our original restaurant destination had closed the day before, without notice, which we realized when we arrived at its door. This first visit to Wy'east Pizza improved our moods quickly. Not knowing our sour attitudes, the co-owner welcomed us as if we were regular customers. Her positive attitude and service continued throughout our meal. Had salads and garlic toast. The pizzas we ordered had the usual toppings but much better crusts than usual and were served quickly from the ceramic oven. Though limited to three toppings, we were not disappointed with either taste or texture. Small and unpretentious, Wy'east Pizza gave us an opportunity for an un-rushed visit over a very good meal. read more

Wy'east has lots of great options for vegetarians. We got the seasonal special, Mattercorn, which was delicious, and the Hot Marmot, which was even better. I shared with my boyfriend and I'm glad we ordered two pizzas and had leftovers because one might not have been enough for our big appetites without a side dish. I truly appreciate the many precautions the owners are taking for COVID-19. There was no indoor dining, masks are required at all times during pickup, and they ask that you call when you arrive and have your trunk or car door open so they can place it in your car. It was truly contactless. One of the best ways I've seen a restaurant handle COVID. It took us a few tries to call and place an order because they were very busy but it was worth it! read more

They have improved their ordering service. We now have called and ordered a handful of times w/o going to voicemail or something else getting in the way. Pizza is very good. read more

The crust had a very sour taste. The homemade focaccia was tasty! Pizzas come standard with only 3 toppings. You can substitute but not add.

Hi, this is Dominic the food reviewer. Today I tried a restaurant called Wy'east Pizza. It is located on 5601 W. Vliet St, Milwaukee, WI 53208. They are open Tues-Thur 4:30-8:30pm, Fri and Sat 4:30-9pm, and Sunday 3:30-8pm. During this review, James Groh from TMJ4 news joined me and will be doing a story on my review. I will link the story when it comes out on my page. I had so much fun doing this review with James. I met the owners of Wy'east, Ann and James. They were very friendly and nice. They are originally from Wisconsin, and lived in Portland Oregon for many years. James wanted to learn to make his own pizzas, so they started a food truck in Portland Oregon that they ran for 4 years. They moved back to Milwaukee, where they opened Wy'east Pizza in May 2016. It's located where Boy Blue Ice Cream used to be on Vliet St. Wy'east is the native name for Mount Hood in Portland Oregon. I thought the decor was decorated kind of like a Mountain Lodge. It was very modern and clean inside. This is a counter service place. You order at the counter, then you can sit down, and they bring your pizza to the table. It is a small place with 8 or so tables. You can also get your pizza carry-out. They have pizza that is a cross between New York style and Neapolitan style Pizza. The most popular pizza there was the Hot Marmot. Which has Pepperoni, Fresh Garlic, & Sweet Hot Peppers. Their Appetizer they're known for is the Sour Dough Focaccia with Balsamic Dip. The Pizza is cooked in a very cool Gas Fired Domed Italian Pizza oven. I tried the Hot Marmot pizza and the Focaccia. I thought my pizza had a nice kick to it. It had a delicious flavor. My Sour Dough Focaccia was fresh tasting and appetizing. This is Dominic the food reviewer. I would recommend this restaurant because the Pizzas there are very delicious, and the owners and staff were so nice. Stay tuned for more updates on my review very soon. read more

So good! Friendly staff, indoor and outdoor seating, good wines...but the star of the show is the pizza! Got the "Pig" special with ham and spicy pineapple salsa which was delicious. Also got a Margarita just to have balance. Also equally yummy. The crust is a bit dense, but nice texture. My husband and teenage son and I ordered two pizzas as recommended by the waiter, that was just right and he said we would have a few slices to take home which we did. Devoured my teenage son the next day for lunch :-) read more
