A to Z Produce & Bakery

What can I say that has not been said, the pizza is all natural, grown with love on 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.

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.

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.

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!

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'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#

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.

What a fabulous way to spend a beautiful Tuesday evening. No need to describe how it's set up since its been done in previous reviews. I definitely want to come back. And if there are every any out of towners visiting on a Tuesday, I would make it our plan. I will say the pizza was much better than I expected it to be. First off, I loved all the options. They all sounded good. There were 5 of us and two pizzas was plenty. We opted for the chili lime pesto and the the one with sausage, onion, olives, mozzarella (were talking huge chunks of mozzarella). I thought the crust, the toppings, and the way it was cooked were perfect. I do wish it was a bit closer but that's not their fault. We left Minneapolis at about 330 to beat traffic and the crowd (it turned out to not be too bad since word is it gets busier in July). Im glad we did leave early because the drive was so long, and so we were able to stop for some pie on our way.

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.

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

Mixed review. Grounds and ambiance are fantastic. A great place to relax with friends and family. That said, pizza really bad. The crust is soggy, floppy. Not sure if the oven base does not get hot enough? Or too much oil and toppings. The dough also malty and mealy. It is probably whole wheat flour, not milled appropriately for pizza crust. It's unfortunate because they have amazing ingredients from the farm and a nice wood-fired pizza oven to work with.

Fantastic pizza, amazing atmosphere. You can walk the farm and see where the ingredients are grown and raised. Worth the drive, get there early though, they get busy quick! Protip: stop at Stockholm Pie company before going and get yourself some pie to go for dessert.

I got engaged here a couple of weeks ago, so now the pizza farm is just that much more special to me. :)

The Pizza Farm describes itself as like a "state park" on the website. It is gorgeous. I'm not going to lie. And excellent people watching. And cow gazing. However, most state parks offer at least a trash disposal and don't charge $26 for a pie. And have a water fountain. I get it. It's kind of cult-like. They make it hard to get to. But I'm just not into it. I'd rather stay closer to home and have a picnic with equally or better tasting pizza at one of the wonderful parks around my house and be "green" by not driving to the middle of nowhere. Sure, there'll be no bran toilet, but the woods or a biffy will work just fine.

I REALLY wish I could give 5 stars but I can't justify doing so as both my husband and I left with a bad taste in our mouth. We went to A to Z excited because we had heard such great things about it! We love brick oven pizza. We love windy country roads. We love Summer nights with friends. And we especially love trying something new. When we arrived at A to Z we instantly fell in love! The atmosphere. The view. The sunset. And most of all, the cutest little farm you have ever seen. It should be in a "Travel Wisconsin" coffee table book! There were people laying on blankets, sitting around tables with candles light(!), playing Frisbee, guitars being strum and lots of laughter! We ordered our pizza and were told of a 1/2 hour wait. Which was great for us. We wanted to walk around and stretch our legs after a long drive from the Cities. Plus we had to check out the farm stocked with chickens, cows, sun flowers and massive veggie garden (if you can still call it a garden with its expansive size)! Make sure you come prepared, pizza's range from $24-28 each. They're quite large and can definitely be shared. As Katherine Z said, bring your own plates, napkins, drinks, glasses, etc.. as they don't supply anything but the pizzas. It's pretty awesome how everything from the crust to the toppings are made right at the farm. And the pizzas speak for themselves! Fresh. Tasty. Fantastic. What left a bad taste is the attitude of some of the staff. My husband was asking some questions about the farm and was told by the woman running the brick oven, "Would you like me to stand around all night or make your pizza?" WOW! What a response?! Then, when we went to leave, we didn't know where to put the pizza box and garbage. When we asked the same woman was quite cold in telling us to take it home. All in all, it was a great experience and we will definitely return. But we'll be asking our questions of someone else next time! Make sure you check out the "Brancan" modified outhouse. It is one of A to Z's two restrooms. Basically, an outhouse that is "greener" than most. It uses bran to compost your, umm... deposits.

We didn't even make it to the farm. We called because we will be camping in the area and wanted to know if we could bring our dog to the farm while we eat, since it would be outside and we could keep her away from other groups. We've never been there so of course we wanted to call and make sure it would be OK to do this. My husband called. He is a very polite person. The woman who answered the phone said, "That's a terrible idea! Is that direct enough for you?" and then proceeded to tell him why it's such a terrible idea. A simple, "No, unfortunately, we don't allow dogs here," would have sufficed. We were just trying to find out if it would be OK. Now I don't want to go there even without my dog - I'm sure there are plenty of other places with better pizza. In fact, we've been to the Stone Barn just outside Nelson, WI. Their pizza is excellent and so is their service. I recommend going there.

The summers in Minnesota are far too short to feel guilty about leaving work a bit early on a sunny Tuesday and heading out to this beautiful, magical place. DO NOT FEEL GUILTY. It's totally worth it on every level. It's sort of a schlep (about 90 minutes by car from downtown), so I recommend leaving the Twin Cities around 3:30pm if you want to get there on the earlier end. And you DO want to get there on the earlier end so you can spend as much time there as possible. They are only open on Tuesdays from 5pm until 8pm-ish, so make sure you know the drill. You also have to bring your own plates, napkins, cups, utensils and trashbags. What else should you bring? I recommend blankets, chairs, maybe a folding church table if you'd like...plus any games or side dishes or non-alcoholic drinks. It's great for families, kids, hipsters...anyone who just wants to be outside on a farm, in the quiet, and watch a beautiful sunset...and of course, eat pizza! Unfortunately, pups are a no-go since they have farm animals around. But it's so fun to watch the cows and chickens, stroll through the crops and eat delicious oven-fired pizza while the sun magically sets. I've been here twice and both times have been unforgettable. The first, I went with my husband in September of 2014 and most recently I had my 32nd birthday party here at the end of June 2015. It was absolutely unforgettable in every definition of the word.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the pizza farm is not all it's cracked up to be. While it is novel to sit on a farm and see the ingredients on the pizza you are about to eat, the ingredients themselves don't ensure a good pizza. Restaurants are increasingly focused on sustainability and local providers, and in that vein the Pizza Farm passes with flying colors. All that stuff is great and I commend them for it. They've got a beautiful farm, a great idea, and a ton of happy customers. That's all there. What wasn't there on my pizza was sauce. That was unfortunate. I feel like a jerk giving them three stars in a sea of five star reviews, but the pizza really isn't that good. The wheat crust is cooked well, but it's flavorless, and as far as I could tell, completely unsalted. Some of the cheese was fantastic, such as the gorgonzola, and there were a number of options that sounded great. There was bacon slab, roasted potato, italian sausage, garden, and one called something like "fat pig." I opted for the bacon and tried four others in my quest to understand the widespread love for the pizza farm. None of them had sauce (I believe one or two are listed as being sauced but I cannot confirm this) and they had slices of tomato instead. Just because tomatoes are the main ingredient in tomato sauce doesn't mean they are interchangeable. There was a lot of onion and green pepper, a decent amount of bacon, which was very very thick cut and was very fatty and salty but very noticeably undercooked. The meats that I tried were all very good. Most of the veggies were good too. I don't doubt that their ingredients are of the highest caliber. They taste like it. Overall, pizza farm has good intentions, good ingredients, good ovens, good people, but no clue when it comes to making exceptional pizza. Being outside in the middle of nowhere with a pizza and whatever wine/beer/everclear you choose to bring is lovely. Looking up at the stars with a loved one and a pizza is great. Pizza farm deserves a lot of credit in a lot of areas. But I hope they hire somebody who actually knows how to make pizza. HOT TIP - there's a winery and cidery that's on the way (35 south, just before you hit county road J). You can go in and sample cider and they've got some awesome products made by themselves and other Wisconsin cider/wine producers. Just follow the big "WINERY AND CIDERY" sign and you'll be there in no time.

On the way, we made a pit stop at Maiden Rock and marveled at the beautiful scenery. Even if there wasn't pizza at the end of the road, the scenic drive itself would make the trip worthwhile! We leisurely made our way there and arrived at our destination around 4:30pm. My first tip? Map out your route beforehand, and don't get discouraged if you feel like you're lost -- chances are you're on the right track. It's tucked away off the main drag and there are no signs whatsoever! If you are bad with directions, I highly recommend following someone who has been there before. You'll know you've arrived when you happen upon vehicles lining the road and see people making their way through the dust on their pilgrimage for pizza. Before you head to Pizza Farm, make sure you check out their website for their rules: -Picnic on the farm or take Pizza out. -We function like the State Parks: Pack it In/Pack it Out. All garbage and recycling goes with you. -Please, no pets. -This is a farm: assume all fences are electric. -Cameras are great but we are tired of being at the end of them. Rules in mind, we parked, grabbed our supplies, and practically ran up the driveway -- we wanted to snag a great spot! Not to worry, we found one right away and went to work on creating our ambiance. It was delightful to see how people go all out for Pizza Farm. There were tables with candles and fancy table cloths. There were some who brought other food to complement their evening of pizza. My second tip? Be sure to check out all of the available space to set up your party, and if you don't mind animals and their smells, set up by them! The view is beautiful. Our first spot was located on the beginning of the property that you see when you walk in. After we realized there was more space, we moved and didn't regret it one bit! We ordered one pie with bacon, hot peppers, and mozzarella ($27), and another with beets, tomatoes, and gorgonzola ($25). They told us it would take around 20 minutes. WHAAAT? We were prepared to wait a few hours if necessary, but thankfully, getting there soon after they started making pizzas was to our benefit! As we waited, we hung out with a sweet farm cat and relaxed, basking in the gorgeous summer evening. Tip three -- take some time to wander around and enjoy their property. There isn't much that's off limits. If you have friends or family who have never been to a farm, this would be the perfect experience! Derek went back around the 20 minute mark to see if it was ready -- they don't come to you, you must be ready to pick up your food when they call your name and number! He came back with our two boxes and we dug in. The pizzas were beautiful -- their farm-grown produce and chunks of bacon looked lovely atop the charred crust. And the taste? It was very good! I can honestly say it's not the best pizza I've ever had. They both could have used salt and some fresh herbs. However, it was still tasty and certainly worth the effort! Our view was beautiful, our pizza was delicious, and we were able to hang out and play cribbage surrounded by other people enjoying the same farm. It truly can't get much better than that!

I don't know much about A to Z Produce per se, but the Tuesday night Pizza Farm thing they do is awesome. Read on....) Yep! Wicked fun, and great food. It is a haul, but do it. Food was great, and natural! Bring some cold beverages, yard games, and a blanket for chilling. Such a wonderful setting for kids to run around, too. Why not five stars? Two things. First, it is not cheap. But you are paying for the experience, and supporting a local farm, so I would do it again for sure. Second reason? It is REALLY hard to find if you don't know where you are going. No signs, and GPS was confused. Make sure to call or get directions or follow someone in. Or, just gear up for a little adventure and enjoy the ride. Looking forward to going again soon.

Pizza, pizza, pizza pie, You are the apple of my eye. Cheesy, bubbly, cold, or white, Offer me a slice and I won't put up a fight. A to Z Produce and Bakery, Rivals any pie made in Minnie. Add some rustic country feel, I'm quite ready for a great meal. I'm ashamed I haven't written a review yet for A to Z Produce, aka Pizza Farm. Just went up for my second time yesterday. Did you know they opened officially for 2012 on Valentine's Day? That would have made for a chilly but interesting evening. Summer visits are great to people watch and enjoy the heat of a dying day, but there's a certain something about a spring visit. Maybe because we were there for a friend's last hurrah in the Midwest, or enjoying a freshly made pizza in near-solitude, but I left feeling extremely satisfied. While it's BYOEBP - bring your own everything but pizza - this is hardly a drawback. If you are coming before the summer months, think about a thermos or two of hot drinks. Once the sun sets it gets chilly, though you can head into the barn to eat. I indulged in some bread this time and had some for breakfast. It's like eating a larger version of their pillowy crust studded with savory, salty olives. Add a couple of eggs sunny side up and you'll start Hump Day right.

Decided to make another trip to A to Z Produce, aka "pizza farm" this year. Here are my pros: +pleasant drive +watching families, friends, couples create intimate settings amid the sworn of people +pizza +animals for the kids +bring your own drinks Cons: -long wait for pizza if you arrive after 5PM -long lines to the bathroom Really it's a great way to spend an evening with friends or family. Don't go alone.

Oh Pizza Farm, you will always hold a special place in my heart, even though I don't know if and when we may meet again. The now-husband and I went down to Red Wing for a few days after our wedding to recoop and conveniently found ourselves down there on a Tuesday. I knew what I wanted to do - go to Pizza Farm! I've been near-obsessed with it since I first read about it on Heavy Table awhile ago! Well, the lovely Deb, the proprietor of the Pratt-Taber Inn of Red Wing, got us all set up! We arrive around 4:15 with our hands full of goodies! We had a lovely table with tablecloth and cloth napkins, wine glasses, cheese and crackers (in case we had to wait - we came prepared!) along with plastic bags to take away trash, silverware, bug spray, and of course, wine and beer! We set up and sat down, watching people slowly trickle in around us. We thought maybe our set-up was "a bit much" but no, it was actually right in line with many other people there! It's a serious business, this pizza farming! Around 4:20 we started to see people walking up towards the barn, so the man decided to head up as well. He came back about five minutes later and said, our pizza will be done in about 5 minutes! ARE YOU JOKING? I was prepared for a wait, hours if need be, to taste the pizza goodness! And pizza goodness it was, we split a pizza filled with veggies from the farm, and topped with cheese made on the farm! It had cubanelle peppers, eggplant, tomatoes, zucchini and onions! It was so awesome! The pizza crust isn't very chewy, it's lighter and airier, but that suites me just fine! We downed the entire pizza without talking, so I feel that I don't need to say much more than that! Get thyself to pizza farm, and get there early! By the time we left there was a line down the road!

The experience is totally worth the drive! A to Z Produce a.k.a. "the pizza farm" They are open only on Tuesday from 4:30 - 8:00, February through November - check their website for the exact dates of open/close for the season. You can arrive prior to 4:30 and get in line. Cash only. Pizzas are $25-$30 each and feed 2-3 adults. No substitutions on ingredients. The farm has no signage and is a little difficult to find the first time. We didn't even know we had arrived or where to enter until we saw all the cars and heard voices coming from the oasis through the trees. There is a small space for parking along the right side of the drive (2nd drive on the left past the mailbox - if coming from Stockholm), most parked along either side of the dusty dirt/gravel road. I would recommend leaving St. Paul early, to give you time to stop at some of the shops along the way (Stockholm Pie Company and the Maiden Rock Winery & Cidery come to mind) and to stop somewhere to use the restroom prior to arrival as there is only an outhouse on the farm. For your $25-$30 they provide ONLY the pizza made from ingredients grown on the farm, in a cardboard pizza box. The concept of eating a product created at the place the ingredients were grown is really nice and rare these days. You have to bring your own everything. They don't sell beverages, they don't provide plates, there isn't an indoor potty. This was my list of items to bring: Cash (the only form of payment accepted) Table Chairs (you could just bring a blanket, I suppose) Tablecloth Plates Forks Knives Cups Napkins Water Wine, and bottle opener (or pick up a bottle from Maiden Rock) Beer Salad Bread and dipping oil Candles and matches (for ambiance) Flowers (for a centerpiece) Games/Cards (if there is a long wait) Lantern (we went in September after 7pm) Bug spray (just in case) Dessert Wet wipes Snacks for the drive (90 minute drive from St. Paul) Garbage bag (you can not leave any garbage on the farm, everything must leave with you, including your pizza boxes) If there are a lot of cars and no close parking, I recommend dropping someone off with the gear at the driveway, they can set up while you find parking and walk back. You can setup anywhere you want. There is a nice open area in the trees up front or an open area past the out buildings. It is what you make it, you can find a nice quiet and intimate spot, or a spot where you can interact with the animals and other diners. To order, make your way to the natural wood building and find the chalk board with the list of available pizzas, it is hung to the right on the outside of the pizza oven building (or find the line of people waiting to order). I found the staff indifferent, but nice enough. They do not take substitutions, just order one of the pizza options from the list. Someone will take your order at the board, give you a number, and estimate how long it will be until your pizzas are ready. You pay, in cash, when you pick up your pizzas. They hang the number they are currently serving overhead on a cord by the pizza oven (to the right, in front of the oven). They were on number 125 and we were number 147, our wait time was about a half hour. You can purchase some bread made on the farm when you pick up your pizza as well. The bread cart is along the wall to the right of the pizza oven. You can use your wait time to finish setting up your gear, exploring the farm (crops and animals), playing games, or just relaxing. It was not the very best pizza I have ever eaten, but it was very good and in my top 5. It isn't quite thin enough to be Neapolitan Pizza, which is my favorite, but it was a thin chewy whole wheat kind of crust - that gets quite charred in the oven. The ingredients were each very tasty. I was impressed with the "freshness" of everything. The flavor was very good. The cheese was excellent and local as well. It is a good product and a unique experience. I might even consider it an adventure!

Overrated. Pretty setting. The pizza was meh at best. Soggy and flavorless. Just not very good I am sorry to say. Sawmill Pizza in Clear Lake Wisconsin (Thursday night pizza night) is 10 times better. Great setting and great pizza and nearly as close to the cities.

So I made the trek to the pizza farm...and it was totally worth it! My girlfriends and I took a half day, borrowed a mini van from a sibling, and road tripped to Stockholm, WI to try this place out. It's about an hour and half drive from the cities--and beautifully scenic along the way. Some of the other reviews mention the staff was unfriendly, we didn't find this to be the case at all. The menu offers about 8 different pizza options--all made with items produced on the farm. We tried the Italian veggie and the beet pizzas. Both were delicious. The pizzas run about $25-$30 each, but one pizza can easily feed 3-4 people. Bring your own plates, silverware, beverages, trash bag, and picnic gear. Most people were sitting on blankets, but others went all out with folding tables and chairs adorned with candles and a floral centerpiece. Plan to arrive by 5:30pm if you don't want to wait an hour to get your food. And remember to hit up the ATM before you leave home, Stockholm closes early and they only take cash payment for food.

We love pizza farm!! What a lovely place to spend a Tuesday evening. We had the Italian sausage with onions and the Greek with feta and kalamata olives. Perfect with the bottle of red that we picked up at Maiden Rock. After we ordered, our friends tipped us off to the awesomeness of the country ham pizza, but we were already going to have leftovers. Guess we'll have to go back! Our only regret was not getting there just a wee bit earlier, so we could get pie at the shop in town.

Like many other yelpers, Pizza Farm was on my summer bucket list. I took a half day and my husband and I packed up the kids and made the trek. We stopped in Ellsworth for curds and then at the Stockholm Pie company and finally made our way to the farm. The whole trip took about 2 hours. We got there a little after 4 and set up our picnic blanket on the front lawn. I wasn't aware that you can really sit anywhere you can find room. Since they don't come to you, it really doesn't matter where you set up. Some people go all out - we saw tables with candles and flowers and we saw others, like us, with just picnic blankets. We got a pizza split in half - half had the Italian sausage and veggies and the other half had roasted beets and Gorgonzola. I found their Italian sausage to be lacking in flavor and much preferred the beet pizza. We were only #8 on the list so we got our pizza very quickly. After filling our bellies we took a walk around the grounds, which was great for my city raised daughters. They really enjoyed seeing the cows and the produce. We ate some more pie and packed up for the drive home. In addition to being a fun little dinner spot, the scenery is gorgeous as you drive. I don't know that I would drive 1.5 hours again for the pizza - maybe if we were doing a group thing - but I'm very glad we did it once.

So i recently made the long drive to the "Pizza Farm" as i have heard good things and read it's a must do. So we get there and it wasn't very busy which was nice. They serve beer and wine now and had a decent selection and decent prices there. I love the concept and you can see where your food comes from. So we order a couple pies and wait maybe 30 minutes or so. We walk over to our grassy area we had picked out and they smell amazing, and that is where it stops. First the crust was soggy and you couldn't even pick a piece up without the toppings falling off. Which coming from a brick oven is a sin. The crust had a nice char to it but lacked flavor, needed salt and was to thick for that style pizza. The pizza also lacked sauce, which could have added some much needed flavor. The eggplant had no flavor and the cheese was a bit bland as well. The rest of the veggies tasted great but it didn't make up for the flavorless crust and lack of sauce. I am not sure where the Hype for this place is coming from, because it wasn't worth the drive from the cities. There are many better places to get pizza in the cities. I love the concept and the farm is beautiful, but the pizza just isn't that good which I am bummed about as i wanted to love it.

Dissapointed. Many good reviews so maybe we just got unlucky.... We got there with about 1/2 hour till close, no line for ordering pizza, no rush. 95% of pizzas on the menu had raw "bottle" (or so they called them) onions. My husband does not like raw onion so we asked if we could order a pizza with no onion on half of the pizza. The answer was a short "we don't hold onions on any of our pizzas". Oh....we finally chose a pizza that under other circumstances we would not have ordered. What we got was a burned pizza which tasted okay at best. I will think twice before I will drive there again.

You have to love this place and the entire concept behind it. I mean, come on, food as fresh as any food can be and a forced situation to be outside eating delicious food with your friends...brilliant! Yes, there is a bit of time required to travel to this pizza producing ecosystem, but trust me-it is SO worth it! Upon arrival, after securing the best seat in the house and spreading out our blankets and coolers, we ordered our pies. Our group selected the two veggie options of the night (Pesto, tomato, & fresh mozz and the Roasted beets, onion, & gorg.....insert soft moan here!). During the wait for our pizzas, we caught up on all the latest gossip, checked out the amazing candelabras on the neighbor's table, and drank a few glasses of vino. Just an amazing night! I think I was still in Pizza Farm euphoria when I went to work the next day....and gushed about my time at the farm with all my coworkers (who already think I am crazy.....sigh).

Very nice place to visit! My 2 year old loved it. He sang old McDonald the whole time! The pizza was great, and the atmosphere is unbeatable! We'll be returning again and again!

We visited A to Z Produce last night for their Tuesday pizza night after reading the great review in the City Pages. I left work at UMN around 4 and we made it to the farm about an hour and a half later. When we arrived we ordered the slab bacon pizza with onions and hot peppers ($28), grabbed a few beers ($3.50 each, $15 for a bottle of wine), and walked around the farm. Half an hour later our pizza was ready so we settled in at a semi-secluded spot, grabbed a few more beers, and ate almost the entire pizza - it was SO good. A super friendly cat joined us about halfway through our meal which was a highlight for me but may not be for everyone. I read that they were cash only before I went so I made sure to have cash with me, but they did have an app for taking cards on an iPad. They also had little mason jars available for wine glasses for those who forgot or didn't know to bring their own. I'd highly recommend the trip - it's well worth it!

After hearing about this wonderful experience my family finally attended pizza night on August 23rd 2011. We, along with our group were greatly disappointed! The atmosphere was great and the other patrons were awesome, but the pizza was not tasty and expensive. Part of it may have been that we arrived later (6: 30) and were told it'd be 2 hours and 10 minutes (which ended up being 2 hours and 40 minutes) for our food but part of it was the rudeness of the "ordertaker". We attended with veteran farm visitors so we had appetizers, water, alcohol, bug spray, candles,chairs, etc so it wasn't like we were unprepared. If I had to guess I think they ran out of ingredients and didn't inform us! The crust was black on 2 of our 3 pizzas and we couldn't taste the difference between the margherita. and the basil eggplant pizza?
