Pauls Pizza Den

Come here once a year with the family. Pretty good pizza! Wait staff is nice and they take good care of us.

Best pizza around… Cold beer
Do it. Cheese curds and fried pickles are amazing. We stop every weekend and have dinner. Great place.

We come here often– Food is always good! The service is usually pretty slow and small town. Do not go here if you are in a hurry. Try the Bloody Mary bar on the weekend. Homemade apple pie shots are amazing. Watch out for the locals trying to serve their own drinks behind the bar like they own the place.

This is an excellent pizza place whether you are in Chicago or the north woods. Birchwood is a nice small town and Paul’s Pizza Den is a nice compliment to the town. They have their fair share of tourist but are very popular with the locals as well which is always a good sign. The have good pizza and very unusual toppings and combinations. Gluten-​free crust is available as well. They have a very nice menu to compliment their pizza offering. Overall in this neck of the woods Paul’s Pizza Den is a gold nugget.

Way up here, restaurant options can be a little sparse, so it’s a good thing we’ve got the Pizza Den to keep us fed.
My father-​in-​law owns some property in Mikana, and on holiday weekends we often head up north and use it as a base of operations for exploring the area.
Since it’s one of only a few options, that means we’ve sampled a fair bit of Pizza Den’s offerings.
The menu is split into pizza and not pizza. I can appreciate the frankness.
There are a variety of unusual combinations available on the pizzas, including some ingredients that you wouldn’t expect in a million years (sauerkraut? cranberries?), but since I’m with the family it means I’m stuck to the relatively more traditional offerings when I’m up here. Those options are, of course, very good. The sauce is tasty and has a hint of sweetness to it and the toppings are a step above your average pizza joint’s. The crust can be a bit floppy and thin, but they wouldn’t be the first pizza place to have that problem.
The ribs are as tasty as you’ll get at any Italian-​inspired place. They’re pretty tender and you get a great portion. The garlic butter-​brushed strombolis also come highly recommended. I suspect there’s not much you can go wrong with on this menu.
Even though it’s a bit of a touristy place in the northwoods, I felt at home here. The staff makes sure you’re well taken care of. They’re casual, but still attentive. It can get a bit loud when it’s busy, but never to the point where it distracts from hearing the person across the table.

Always a stop when we’re in towns. The kids (and adults) love the pizza. Atmosphere is always casual and the staff is friendly.

We got take-​out pizza when a group of cousins and siblings spent the weekend at my brother’s home in Birchwood. We had a few different varieties, BBQ, deluxe, and some kind of meat combo. They were all super super delicious, and I’m glad we got to try something new while in the area.

Pizza is my favorite food, and this place makes some of my favorite pizza. Terrific sauce and crust with high quality ingredients. The new specialty pizza, Smokey the Bear, is especially tasty. Kudos to the chef for thinking up such a creative and delicious topping combination!

Great pizza. Try the Grizzly or Black Bear. Nice décor and they can accommodate larger groups. You can’t miss this place if you want pizza.

Solid pizza joint for the Birchwood area. Nice clean atmosphere, easy parking, and decent pizza (as well as some sandwich and rib options too). They deliver also! They accommodated our group of 20 gracefully, so we returned for takeout a night or so later. Great for families!
