“ We traveled an hour to have pizza and beer at Broken Tree and it did not disappoint! The pizza was hot, fresh and so delicious. You don’t find a good brick oven style pizza very often. The beer was just as good, and we left with some new favorites to add to our list. Would highly recommend! ”

“ The food is really good. The queen bee pizza and garlic sticks were great. Beer selection has something for everyone. The river view is nice. The only complaint is it gets very hot inside because not all the windows have shades to draw. The one large table is in full sun most of the afternoon. Would definitely go back when in Appleton. ”
“ Fantastic tap beer selection and lovely views of the river. They make the best pizzas with many unique options on the menu. My family loves the Queen Bee and the Sweaty Pig. They were able to accommodate vegan with a build your own pizza - I enjoyed delicious red sauce, kalamata olives and tomatoes. ”
