Wild Tomato Wood-Fired Pizza & Grille Fish Creek

They're really trying at this place. They have fresh ingredients and you'll definitely be able to tell, but the execution just isn't there. When I drop 80 bucks at a restaurant for two people I better be impressed, and honestly I could've had better at the Hut and fed the whole street. We ordered cheese curds for an appetizer. Definitely fresh curds, but not appropriately battered so the curds basically soaked up all the grease from the fryer and turned into one big coagulated mega grease curd. Forgivable since admittedly it's a pizza place but if you're going to put out curds in Wisconsin, not doing it well is a cardinal sin. Pizza again had very fresh ingredients but not cooked all that well. I had a gluten free D-lux. My wife had regular sausage and green olives. Both seemed to be very well done on the edges and not done enough in the middle. Again, wood fired oven, I get it, but isn't that what I'm paying 23 bucks a 12" pizza for? The crust was average, and I'm fairly certain my gluten free crust was just a typical Udi's crust. Iykyk. This is the point where the angry restaurant owner whines that we didn't say anything while we were there after I leave a review. Here's the thing. What would the 19 year old server have done better? Get us different mediocre food? Waste of everyone's time. Refunded our bill? Not fair to all the staff that have to make a living off of this place. That just hurts the business and by extension the staff. So did I pay and tip 20% anyway? You bet. Not to mention this place, shockingly for the first week of October, is crawling with flies. Not another bug in sight around town but 4-5 flies buzzing around us during our meal. Not exactly an establishment that I want to hang around and order something else that might be better. Key takeaway - it just wasn't all that good, there were lots of flies, and it was expensive. Good luck and good night.

Every time we are in town, our family makes Wild Tomato a destination! Outdoor seating is pleasant, pizzas and beers are amazing, and service is friendly and attentive. Highly recommend! Good also for gluten free and dairy free eaters.

Wild Tomato used to be our favorite pizza place..and we are from Chicago! We were very disappointed on our most recent visit last night. We ordered take out this time and staff was not friendly and seemed bothered by our order. We ordered 2 large pizzas, 1 gluten free pizza and 2 family sized salads. The pizza seems to have dramatically changed…no big, thick, bubbly crust as we have had several times in the last several years, less cheese, less sauce, hardly any toppings, basically the overall quality of the pizza went down to just a meh. Salad was good. All I can say is we all declared once again, another great thing no longer.
