There’s something about take and bake pizza that just makes sense. While pizzas baked at pizzerias have their place, more people around Wisconsin are discovering why bringing home an unbaked pizza might actually be the better move.
It’s not a new concept, but it’s one that keeps gaining fans.
Walk into any of our Eaton’s Fresh Pizza locations:
📍 196 N Hickory Street, Fond du Lac, WI 54935
📍 368 S Park Avenue, Fond du Lac, WI 54935
📍 407 N River Road, West Bend, 53095
📍 1615 Wisconsin Avenue, Grafton, 53024
You’ll see what the buzz is about.
No reheated slices. Just quality pizza that you finish in your own oven.
We’ve been doing this for a while now (45 years), and there’s a reason people keep coming back.
The whole idea is pretty simple. You pick up a pizza that’s been made fresh that day. Take it home. Bake it when you’re ready.
But once you try it, you start to see why it’s become the go-to for a lot of locals in Wisconsin.
If you haven’t tried it yet, here’s what you’re missing.
1. Your Kitchen Smells Like a Pizzeria
When you bake pizza at home, the whole place smells incredible. It’s one of those simple things that makes dinner feel special. The smell fills the house in a way that’s just different.
Opening a delivery box doesn’t really compare. Sure, it smells good for a minute.
But baking it yourself? That’s the real deal. It sticks around. Makes the whole evening feel cozier somehow.
2. Freshness You Can Actually See
Take and bake means we made the pizza that very same day. You can see the freshness the moment you pick them up.
The toppings are appetizing, fresh grated cheese, and nothing has been sitting out or drying up.
You don’t need to worry about when it was made or how long it’s been sitting. You know exactly what you’re getting.
Then you bake it when you’re ready.
3. Bake It How You Like It
Some people like crispy crusts. Others want it to be softer. Maybe you like cheese in a certain way. With your own oven, you get to decide.
The process is pretty straightforward. Preheat your oven to 375°F. While it’s heating up, take the pizza out of all the packaging and cardboard.
Then just pop the pizza in the center of the oven. Usually takes about 20 to 30 minutes.
You’re looking for golden crust and bubbly cheese. Every oven runs a little differently, so keep an eye on it near the end.
It’s nice having that control instead of hoping whoever baked your pizza did it the way you like.
4. Eat When You’re Actually Ready
No waiting around for delivery wondering where your pizza is. No having it show up right when you’re in the middle of something. You decide when dinner will happen.
That flexibility matters more than you’d think. Especially on busy nights when everyone’s schedule is all over the place. The pizza sits in your fridge until you’re ready.
With our take and bake, you just need to set your oven to 375°F and give it 20 to 30 minutes. That’s it. Hot and fresh exactly when you want it.
You can time it around the game. Around when everyone gets home. Around whatever works for your night.
The pizza waits for you, not the other way around.
5. There’s Something Satisfying About It
Pulling a hot pizza out of your oven just feels good. You didn’t have to make dough from scratch or chop a bunch of vegetables. But you still get that homemade satisfaction.
It’s a nice middle ground between fully cooking and just reheating something.
You’re involved in the process without it being a whole production. And when it comes out looking and smells great, that’s a small win for the day.
Those little things add up.
6. Feeds a Crowd Without the Hassle
When you’ve got people coming over, take and bake makes things easier. Grab a few pizzas from Eaton’s, and you’re basically set for the night.
Just bake them in the oven as people show up. You can even bake them one at a time if you need to spread things out.
Plus, everyone gets hot, fresh pizza. Not something that’s been sitting in a stack of boxes for twenty minutes.
Whether its game day, family gathering, or just having friends over, it’s a simple way to feed everyone without much stress.
7. Locals Have Known This for a While
Take and bake isn’t a new trend around here. It’s been a thing in Wisconsin for 45 years. People just like it. It fits how folks want to eat.
We at Eaton’s Pizza have built the whole approach around it. Fresh pizza, simple process, good results.
We’re not trying to reinvent anything. Just doing what works.
That’s probably why it’s stuck around. When something makes sense, people keep coming back to it.
