A to Z Produce

FINALLY made it here for their Tuesday pizza night after years of not making it due to scheduling. It was every bit as good as advertised.We lucked out a bit with the weather as it was supposed to rain, but cleared up in time and we arrived right as they opened at 4:30 and parked close. We were order #6 so we got our pizza really quickly. Of course the emphasis is on fresh, local ingredients and you can really taste the difference between here and a generic pizza place.The pizzas are on the spend side, but how often am I going to be in Stockholm? We knew it was $28 going in and gladly handed it over. Ordered a half Italian Sausage, half Canadian Bacon. Lots of cheese, onions, basil, etc. and some fantastic olives. Took two bites and thought "this is so f'n good". Quality ingredients and a crust with the right amount of char on it and we were happy. While waiting the roughly 7 or 8 minutes for it to cook, we took the opportunity to drag in our chairs and cooler (used as a table for the box) in a shaded area and stayed a little over an hour.They aren't allowed to let people bring in their own alcohol, but do sell some on premises if you are so motivated. They also sell bread that is baked on site from grain they mill themselves.Its in a great slightly isolated location off a dirt road and if not the gnats that decided to appear we would have been there longer. They were also doing a brisk take out business, but they were starting to get busy with people bringing in tables and such so I assume it was really hopping later in the evening. Either way, its a beautiful property and they have their process down so it flows pretty efficiently. Yeah I know we lucked out so we didn't have to suffer a long wait, but I'd hang out a while for this again. I guess I'd recommend getting there as close to opening time as possible. Will definitely be back.

What can I say that has not been said, the pizza is all natural, grown with loveon a organic farm, owner a 5 star Chef, a wonderful married couple that gives you a joyful experience at their home (farm). I was taught to be respectful when I am at a restaurant, do not thru food, do not toss your napkins on the floor, if the food needs spice, add salt and pepper (that why they have salt & pepper, catsup, mustard , steak sauce, etc on the table). Most of the guest who come for the first time to the A to Z pizza farm have never eaten natural wheat, it is delicious, however they are used to the white bleached flower full of chemicals and sugar, that said you need to acquire the fine taste of wholesomeness. That does not happen easily for that reason bring some salt, or better yet start eating healthy and start experiencing good taste.My father always said who was a organic farmer one of the best in Hopkins, Minnesota way back in the 50's, you are what you eat, crap in crap out!When you come to for your Pizza, just think of the valuable peaceful moments you have with your spouse, friends spending time together in the car, talking, laughing, precious memorable time together and as a gift seeing amazing Eagles soaring bye, stopping at a few places on the roadway making lifetime memories. By the way pick up your desert FIRST when you come to Stockholm, you will make a left right in front of the Pie shop, that way you have a dessert!We have come from Chanhassen, Minnesota at least 5-7 times a year to spend quality time in the car with my adorable wife of 53 years, smelling fresh farm air, seeing friends, and just being grateful that we can share these sacred moments from the harsh city life and enjoy Good natural food.

Also known as "The Pizza Farm" to many people. If you haven't been, go. You won't regret the drive. It's about an hour and half from the cities and if you take WI 35 down there it's a gorgeous one. Here's what you should do: Take a half a day (or an entire day) and drive down to the cute, little artsy town of Stockholm, WI. Peruse the galleries and shops. Purchase a bottle or two of Wisconsin made wine or beer from one of said shops. Then stop by the Stockholm Pie Company and pick up a slice (or a pie) to bring along to the farm as dessert. Head over to the farm with your booze and pie in hand. The earlier in the evening the better because it starts to get crowded around 4:45pm. They only give you the pizza and the box it's in. You bring the rest...the plates, napkins, blanket, chairs, tables, cards, guitar, etc. Seriously, some people nearly camp out and are professionals at eating there.Everything that is on the pizzas is from the farm (it's a working farm) from the wheat that is ground that day for the crust to the meat made from the cute but oh, so very tasty animals.You might have to wait a while for your pie but relax, enjoy yourself. This isn't a meal to be rushed. It's as much about the experience as it is about the food. And remember it's only open on Tuesdays and is cash only.

We lucked out on amazing weather on this Tuesday night, brought our lawn chairs, a blanket, and got here just at they opened. We ordered a half and half with one side that had smoked ham (that was aahhhmazing) and onions, the other side had Italian sausage and Kalamata olives, green olives, and onions. We ate the whole thing and I have no shame. The crust had a perfect crispiness. Be sure to bring your own beverages (they do sell alcoholic beverages), utensils, napkins, and such. All garbage you accumulate, including the pizza box is yours to properly dispose. So for the middle of July I hear the place can get a little chaotic. Since it had rained a good part of the day we didn't have to share the space with many but it did start to fill in. It's a great place for a group or a fun place for a couple. It was not cheap. $28 for a whole pie. However, for me it was worth it.

First, let me echo so many other comments here. It's a lovely experience. The farm is easy to find and the setting is beautiful. The people are beyond friendly. Calling this place idyllic wouldn't be an exaggeration. You should absolutely go for the entirety of the experience.But that said, the pizza we received was mediocre, at best.It's not an issue with the quality of the ingredients. Those were great. It's an issue with preparation.As others have noted, a lot of the pizzas are sauceless. Our sweet and hot peppers pizza was that way. But there were halved cherry tomatoes on it. Tomatoes leak water like nobody's business when cooked, and a couple of minutes in a wood-fired oven is no exception here. The end result is that the crust was both scorched on the bottom and yet was completely limp. And the accumulated moisture on the top of the pizza meant all of the toppings would slide off.It was, in many senses, the worst of both worlds. A pizza that had no structural integrity and yet where the primary flavor was char.The Italian sausage pizza we received fared better, but the char was still omnipresent in every bite, and not in a good way.Now, you'll read other reviews here from people who swear the pizza is the greatest they've ever had. I don't want to call them uninformed or wrong, because the reality here is that, at a farm that makes pizza one night a week, it's also very possible that the experience is just very inconsistent. I've been to plenty of wood and coal-fired pizza places here in the Twin Cities metro that have no problem getting it right every time, because they're also making hundreds of pizzas every day of the week. The process is painstakingly refined. It's not a thing they do on the side. And while bad pizza is still pretty good, here in the metro, it's hard to be successful doing bad pizza because so many places do it so well.Stockholm is a charming little town. The drive is gorgeous. Stop at the historical markers along the way. Definitely visit Stockholm Pie and General Store for dessert. Amazing pie. Visit the shops. Relax by the water. Hit up Maiden Rock Winery & Cidery on the way to the farm. The best part about Tuesdays (especially after Labor Day!) is that the rest of the town won't be super busy.But you should have realistic expectations about the pizza. I'm not saying don't go. I'm saying if great pizza is the be all and end all by which you measure an experience, save yourself the gas and just go visit Element in Minneapolis or Big River in St. Paul.

2014 Update!Everyone is in a better mood! Maybe its the liquor license, but the cooks were friendly and chatty! Mid August, ordered at 6:30, pizza done about 8:15. We had lots of fruits and veggies and brought card games.While waiting in line for the bathrooms, several people told me they had previously experienced THREE HOUR WAITS. I love pizza, but that's insane. So my only complaint is they really need to up date their website which claims in July and August the wait is "up to an hour"The pizza is still good, although my kids said it tasted a little too "grilled" this year. I know exactly what they were talking about, but it was still fine. A large pizza should be good for 4 adults, and costs about $27. Bottled beers = $3 with a very good selection.

We've been to the 'Pizza Farm' a couple of times. This October we decided to stay at a local B and B Tuesday night, instead of driving back to the cities (Maidenwood Lodge - not 10 mins. from A to Z, it was great). This farm is so charming, the people who work there are great. The patrons, some with card tables and chairs, most with blankets, seem to cover a wide range of people. When you're there, it seems like you know about something, like everyone's in on this little secret. We were there the first week in October, so it wasn't very crowded.We put in our order, Italian Sausage, and within about 10 minutes it was ready... we hadn't even finished setting up our table and chairs and there it was (probably not something that is likely to happen in June or July when it's really crowded).We love the pizza... you can tell that the ingredients are fresh, we could see the vines where the tomatoes on our pizza came from, from where we were sitting.I've read some other reviews where people complain that 'there wasn't enough sauce' or whatever... look, this is wood fired pizza, it's much more like Neopolitain style pizza in the way it's made than the hydrogenated oil laden stuff that comes out of some huge chain pizzeria. This is real food, not some Frankenfood. The ingredients are grown on the farm, they're letting you enjoy their place, once a week... and you're supporting local farmers trying to make a go of it. You either get it or you don't. I say the pizza is killer.http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g60307-d5087527-r323725795-A_to_Z_Produce_Bakery-Stockholm_Wisconsin.html#

While I really enjoyed our pizza tonight, I am hesitate to write this review and have more folks find this hidden gem! Loved the drive down and stopped a few times to watch the bald eagles and other birds of prey playing and searching for their dinner.We arrived at the farm fairly early, as we were #39 - ordered a pizza with pesto, tomatoes, and eggplant. We had time to wander the farm and pick out our perfect spot where we spread out our blanket, enjoyed a few appetizers and wine. We went up to collect our pizza and had a wonderful time talking to the others that were waiting. Brought our pizza back and enjoyed a little slice of heaven - our pizza was delicious with the light, crisp yet tender crust, and the wonderful combination of toppings - perfection. The only drawback was the steamy weather from the recent rains once the sun came out., but for that pizza it was so worth it.On our way out of town, we thought we'd try to stop for a piece of pie; however we hit town as it was closing and thought that the gallery was the pie shop. The gentleman at the shop were so nice I'd love to stop by the next time I'm in town to have a better look

A family highlight of the summer! It's an all around awesome experience- great pizza and a perfect destination outing from twin cities. You won't be disappointed.Great for anything from families with littles to those on a romantic date!

The pizza was so good, I felt compelled to create a yelp account, so I could give this place 5 stars and express my gratitude! Truly a one of a kind experience for me.
