Wells Brothers Restaurant

Detoured to Racine, in between visits to Milwaukee and Lake Geneva, just to visit Wells Brothers. Wells Brothers justified the detour and delivered a delightful lunch. The Wells Brothers space could easily have been the space that opened in 1921, and it reminded me of the pizza joints that I frequented in the late '60's and early '70s in Massachusetts. Wells Brothers serves up bar pies, but we indulged in Garlic Bread first. The Garlic Bread was good -- not great -- but still good, and we quickly devoured it. It was perhaps a little too heavily oiled and could have benefitted from some fresh garlic (or more fresh garlic?) but these are small criticisms.Of course, we did not drive out of our way for Garlic Bread. We made our detour for pizza, and the pies at Wells Brothers are definitely the star. While I am not normally a fan of bar pies -- the thin, cracker-like crust is just not what I am used to -- I found myself thinking longingly about the flavor of the pie even a day later. I have had few pies that offer such a great balance of sauce and cheese!Wells Brothers delivers on the promise of outstanding pizza!

Cracker thin crust pizza.Need I say more?Good sauce, tasty sausage. Friendly staff. Bar serves nice (stiff) drinks. Ordered breaded mushrooms- outstanding. (Sometimes places aren't good... these are!)Always happy when we get pizza. Hard to order other items on the menu.

Lives up to the expectations! Just a short drive from Oak Creek, we found ample street parking & a nice sized adjacent lot. Walking in around noon on a Saturday, we expected a bit of a wait, but to our surprise we were seated shortly after ordering a drink! The bar gave us all the cozy vintage vibes-many things untouched & beautifully kept the same for years. We started with cheesy garlic bread-they don't skimp on the cheese! Lovely red sauce to dip. We also got a small pepperoni & jalapeño pizza-cracker thin deliciousness! Was a perfect lunch to split between 2 people. We also got a large par baked (made to order) to go. We enjoyed that as well! Look forward to going back to try their other offerings.

Classic Milwaukee/Chicago style thin crust (some say "tavern style"), no matter what you call it, it's the very best of this style outside of those two respective cities. Worth driving the 45 mins for.

Excellent pizza and old fashioned atmosphere. Good service and hot pizza on a very cold was just perfect.

I would give them 10 stars if I could. Right when you walk into the restaurant you are greeted by someone and immediately feel like family. They are so welcoming. We sat at the bar and had Tina get us drinks without hesitation. Their bruschetta is a must here. If you get anything on the menu this is what you should get. I will include a picture with the review to see. We then ordered the special of the month pizza which was the Mediterranean. We added chicken to it. Their pizza is on point every time. Thanks to Elise, Amy, and Tina for a great dining experience.

Look how thin and crispy this pizza is! Both pizzas were delicious, the calamari was good also. Been wanting to try it and will definitely be back. Nice bar area old school Wisconsin. No wonder they have been here for over 75 years I think. Definitely coming back.

We always looked forward to going to Racine with Dad as a kids because it usually ended in a trip to Wells Brothers for their amazing thin crust pizza.The pizza is still amazing and so is the service. Their weekday family specials are also a super food deal!

Yum! I was born and grew up in Kenosha, and have never dined at Wells Brothers. I finally did and now understand what all the hype is about. My sister swears by this tiny little corner spot. She dines here on a regular basis. A friend and I were visiting from Chicago so we grabbed lunch before heading home. The exterior boasts history in a quiet little neighborhood. Located on a corner, the dark, vintage building evoked memories of years gone by. We entered the side door just as they were opening for lunch. In a flash the small dining room was packed. People on lunch breaks from work, people like us just grabbing lunch, a large group of ladies having a special occasion.We ordered pizza of course. I love a good thin crust and Wells Brothers delivered. We even got a pie to go to surprise my sister. We wanted to thank her for the recommendation. We started with the fried pickles and ended with a dessert that was very tasty. Our young server was great. She assisted us like a pro. She sat people, took care of to-go orders and served tables. She never seemed rush and was always sweet. The vintage look works. No renovation needed. It feels like you are dining at you Nonna's house and that's the way it should be.

If you have not been here....you need to be. Best thin crust anywhere. Service is always top notch and an absolute value
