Oakfire
- 831 Wrigley Dr, Lake Geneva, WI 53147
- (262) 812-8007
Features: This two story restaurant specializes in wood fired pizzas. They also offer salads, sandwiches and gluten free pizza crusts in addition to the lakeviews. This place always has a buzz and the location is right across from the downtown Lake Geneva public beach. Again, due to the great location, parking and wait times can be a challenge so I don’t recommend it during peak times for families with young kids, since they don’t take reservations. For those of you who don’t have to worry about young kids, go check it out!! There is always a crowd and I love the two story design. It reminds me of a rooftop bar in Chicago.

In addition to being known for its delicious pizzas it has one of the most extensive gluten free menus around! They offer salads, pastas, pizza, pub burgers, flatbreads, appetizers and other options ALL gluten free. They also have cool “Pizza of the Month” specials if you are looking to try something unique like a cheesesteak pizza. This is my family’s go to spot for pizza and burgers!
Little Bar
Features: Since 2019 this small space has been known for their delicious pizza, beer, wine and craft cocktails (and even have a delicious califlour crust pizza!). While they only offer pizza, they do it well and the staff and atmosphere keep the locals and visitors coming back!
The outdoor patio is a great spot during the warmer months to have a drink and take in the beautiful sunset.
