Review: Pizza @ HWY 44 (Oshkosh, WI)

My oldest daughter had to take the ACT yesterday and, since she is home schooled, that meant my wife and I making an hour-long drive with her so she could take the test in Oshkosh, WI.

She didn't get an opportunity to eat a whole lot before the test and only had a light snack with her so, mostly because it was right next door, we stopped at Pizza @ Hwy 44 for lunch. This was our first time dining at this restaurant (which opened last spring) and, overall, I have to say I was impressed.

There were a couple things, in particular, that really stood out for me. One of the main ones was the pizza itself. The three of us each got a personal pizza, which I thought were a reasonable value at $8.95 each. Not only was the pizza delicious, the generous amount of toppings on the pizza made it much more filling than I was expecting it to be. 

In fact, I ordered the wound up having it for lunch yesterday, dinner later that evening and had three extra pieces leftover for lunch today. That added much more value to what I thought was already a reasonable price.

As far as overall atmosphere goes, I thought it was a nice restaurant and was a bit surprised it wasn't busier. It was clean in there and the staff was helpful and friendly. If I had any complaints, it was it was a bit hard to hear when ordering food because of the noise from the pizza oven but that wasn't too big of a deal.

We have plans to go to Oshkosh next month (my other daughter has to take an exam) and will definitely be planning on having lunch at this restaurant when we do.

Kwik Trip Kitchen Cravings Tailgater Pizza

Image
  When my wife and I decided on pizza for dinner last night, I stopped at Kwik Trip with the intention of just buying a cheap, frozen, cheese pizza for our daughters since we already had another pizza in our freezer. However, as I was walking up to the checkout counter, this particular pizza caught my eye and, even though I wasn't crazy about spending $8.99 when I already had another option at home, I was intrigued enough to make the purchase anyway. We ended up making the pizza in the oven when I got home. After trying it, I have to say it is one of my favorites. One of the things, in particular, that really stood out for me when it came to this pizza was the toppings. The combination of sausage and cheese curds was both unique and delicious, especially since the curds were fresh enough to still squeak when we were eating them. The pizza also proved to be surprisingly filling, both because of the thicker crust and the generous amounts of toppings and cheese.  Normally, when my wi
