We were in the Southgate area when we decided to grab some lunch. After consulting Yelp, we decided some pizza at Ned's sounded like just the thing.
It was Memorial Day, so we phoned first to see if they were open on the holiday. Fortunately for us, they were. As we drove up, we noticed on their sign that they've been in business in Milwaukee since 1969. Nearly 50 years? Amazing!
It's a seat yourself sorta place. The dining room when we arrived (late Monday afternoon) was nearly empty (but began to fill up almost immediately after we found our seat). They offer a limited beer and wine menu (in addition to sodas etc). My dining companion was delighted to see that Lakefront Brewing's Eastside Dark was on the menu, while I opted for Sprecher's Root Beer (classic, old school deliciousness).
We both ordered their garden salad to start, which is a bed of lettuce with radish slices, carrot shavings, tomatoes, croutons, and your choice of dressing (me: bleu cheese). It was ample, fresh, and fabulous.
We then ordered their sausage pizza. They have a pizza special on Monday (14 inch cheese or sausage pizza at a discount). The pizza comes on a nearly paper thin and cracker crisp crust. So, if you like it thin and crispy? This, my friends, is your jam.
The service was attentive, prompt, and friendly. The ambiance is basic and maybe a bit dated, but clean.
All in all? A good choice for lunch, dinner, or takeout!
