Sheboygan may be the bratwurst capital of America, but there’s a lot more to discover in this city’s vibrant food scene, including an Italian eatery that’s worth a special trip.

You’ll find Il Ritrovo Pizza in the heart of Sheboygan, just steps from the city’s pleasant beach and walkable waterfront. If you haven’t visited Sheboygan for a while, you should plan a trip: it’s an easy day trip from places like Milwaukee, Madison and Green Bay.
The business is a must-visit for foodies. It’s a combination wood-fired Neapolitan pizzeria, wine bar, deli, and Italian grocery. Everything is authentic, and you’ll find overseas brands that large establishments don’t carry. While you’re dining here, you can pick up some things to stock your Italian pantry!
But whatever you do, make sure to try the pizza. People rave about the wood-fired creations. The pizzas win over the most well-traveled pizza diners – to eat here, is like stepping into a cafe in Italy!
The pizza menu includes lots of tempting options. If you’re looking for something that resembled a frozen gas station pizza you might be happier eating elsewhere - the pizza menu includes creations like the Boscaiola: it’s topped with mozzarella, truffle cheese, smoked mozzarella, rosemary, pancetta, and roasted mixed mushrooms.
The restaurant takes its pizza, very, very seriously. The crust is made with slow-fermented dough and it’s to die for. Everything is authentic here: two decades ago, the restaurant became the fifth certified Vera Pizza Napoletana member in the United States. Enjoy every bite!
Il Ritrovo Pizza is one of the most popular restaurants in the city, so it may be a little busy when you arrive. It’s worth the wait: enjoy a glass of wine and one of the best pizzas you’ve ever had. Learn more about the restaurant and its pizza menu on its website. While you’re in Sheboygan, head to the waterfront to see why the city is called the “Malibu of the Midwest.”
