Doc’s Dry Dock

I travel. I eat pizza. It’s what I do. I’ve tasted pie’s across America, all styles. Crazy toppings. Traditional neopolitan margheritas. I would consider myself a pizza snob.
Tonight, I tried Docs thin crust pizza and it was everything I hoped it would be. I chatted with locals, I engaged in laughs at the bar — overlooking the lake, I talked sports, and I got made fun of by the semi-​retired waitress. It was great.
But the pizza itself rates very high on my thin crust scale. Very close to #1 and that’s over some of my favorite Chicago, St. Louis and New York thin crust fav’s. In Pewaukee, WI nonetheless. Props to the new’ish owner, his buddies and everyone else involved with this establishment. Top notch product, top notch environment for this former small town Iowa guy.

Very good pizza! We had the small super special, which was plenty! Call ahead would be advised, since it was an hour wait, but well worth it. They get a lot if carry outs. We will be back! Sitting at the bar was a nice suggestion for the lake view!

First visit. Small quaint cozy. Great thin crust pizza, the sausage topping best we ever had. Not salty and great fennel flavor, wonderful helpful server, endless beer. Unless you have an hour to burn reservations suggested.

Great pizza! Cute little old secret (location) hiding by the lake (Pewaukee)
Love it

Pizza, like art, is very subjective — everyone has their «favorite». Our first (and last) visit to Doc’s was underwhelming. The small dining area is apparently only for friends of the waitress and all newbies are sent to the bar. We were also told it would be an hour for our pie and the friend that referred us had told me it was worth the wait. At about 90 minutes, and after seeing other couples that ordered after us get their pizzas, we spoke to the bartender. We were served a thin crusted pie with the edges clearly charred — either forgotten or shoved back in the oven when asked for. Nothing special here folks — certainly not worth the wait.

OMG. My new Fav pizza! It’s The Best!!! Bar tenders and servers are a little old school and slow but the pizza is worth the wait!

Pizza was great Carol and Sharon were on duty and provide great service. Will come back soon

Very good! Appetizers of garlic bread w/​cheese and breaded cauliflower were so good! Toppings so plentiful and all the way to the edges! I love the plain cheese, thin and crispy… my favorite type of pizza! Small place and a bit off the beaten path on the lake. Love it!

The best pizza I’ve ever had! Crispy thin crust and loaded with toppings. They have great beer specials as well. I always look forward to coming to this place when I come back into town.

Went to Doc’s last night and had a fantastic time! I knew it always gets busy so I made a reservation for my wife and I… also gave them my pizza order so they could get a head start. We arrived and the place quickly filled up… our pizza was ready about 15 minutes after we sat down and it was PERFECT! Large sausage, pepperoni and mushroom to be exact… atmosphere was a added bonus with it being located on Pewaukee Lake… my favorite pizza hands down! I highly recommend Doc’s…so good.

So good! Toppings all the way to the edges! Thin and crispy… my favorite pizza! Small place with an up north feel, on the lake. Love it!

Went to Doc’s on a Saturday night, called earlier in the day for a reservation as we were going to have 6 adults and 3 children with us. Table was ready to go, Staff was friendly and atmosphere was great! They do a great job managing with the space available (as it is small). I called to pre-​order as suggested by the person on the phone. 10 minutes later, after I let them know to get our order in, our pizza was hot, fresh and ready for all of us to eat. Tons of toppings, crisp crust, and great beer prices. Can’t ask for more at this great historical and local establishment. New ownership is really doing a great job! Hope to eat there again sooner than later!

Thank you for getting to me your place. We have just moved here from Chicago I ordered pizza unbeyond to me the evening of the Village of Pewaulkee Home Coming. it was well worth the trip to them and back to my home next to Pewaukee HS that ran up my street.
Thank you

When I think of Milwaukee Pizza, I think of thin crust, spicy Italian sausage, fresh mozzarella and tangy sauce. To me, this is like Mystic Pizza!
This place was awesome. We ordered the supreme (cheese, sausage, mushroom and onion) and the super supreme (add peppers, olives and pepperoni). And, of course, when in Milwaukee, fried cheese curds are a must.
Sooo delicious. I’m okay with the canned mushrooms. That’s what we grew up on.
This place gets crowded fast, and we arrived with a group of eight right as the place opened up. We were able to grab a table, but you may want to call ahead to reserve a table.
When in Milwaukee, I’ll make sure to stop by this place.

The best pizza around! A little dark and outdated inside and occasionally the perfume can be a little strong. But don’t let that stop you from trying some of the best pizza trust me your mouth will be watering for more.

Best pizza ever! We get the super special with pepperoni, sausage, onion, green peppers, black olives, and mushrooms. They really pile on the toppings. The crust is thin and crispy. It’s a small place so what we do if we want a booth is call ahead and reserve one. The service is great and I can’t recommend a better place for pizza.

Went again this past weekend. Walked in and it was packed but again found two seats at the bar right away. We ordered a sausage, pepperoni, peppers and onion and it was even better than the first time! One thing I forgot to mention is that in their condiment carrier they offer garlic powder. I have never seen that before and how genius — it was awesome on the pizza!.

So while it was not the worst pizza I have eaten, it was by no means worth the hour wait.
We went on a Sunday, and entered the restaurant at 4:15– 4:20. The place consists of a bar that seats 15 – 20 and a dining room with 4 booths and a table. There was 4 people in the dining room and maybe 8 – 10 people in the bar when we walked in.
We were told by the waitress that we needed to order right away, since the kitchen was 45 minutes out already… ?? Excuse me? there’s 14 people in the place and you’re 45 minutes out?
Still, we had read the reviews, and were prepared for a wait. Our appetizer came out in about 15 minutes (Butter battered mushrooms) they were good, but nothing spectacular. It was literally an hour for our pizza to come out. I don’t know if they make the crust to order, but that’s the only reason I can think why it would take that long.
The pizza was loaded with toppings I think we got the deluxe. The sausage is very full of cinnamon or allspice or something similar, I liked it OK, my wife did not care for it. The crust was a thin crust pizza, it was similar to other bar pizza’s I’ve had, and nothing special. The woman behind us was exclaiming that it was the best crust she had ever had. I felt sorry for her, since even a frozen pizza gave this one a run for it’s money.
If I were you, rather than waiting a ridiculous amount of time for a mediocre pizza, do yourself a favor and hop in your car and drive into Milwaukee for Transfer’s pizza. 8 years on the East Coast and I know my pizza. Transfer is thin, but with a chew to it. Their toppings are outstanding and they have a FAR better product than what you get at Doc’s.

Decent place for great thin crust for Milwaukee area standards. Their pepperoni seems to be spicier than most pizza joints. The Super Special is completely overloaded with toppings so much that you might make a complete disaster of your table. My spot at our booth looked like a kindergardener on speed pills spent the last year straight dining there.
Definitely a must to call ahead for reservations or put your name on the list. The place is tiny and is way too popular with the local area.

Best Pizza in Pewaukee!
If you intend on sitting in a booth get there early or make reservation because it gets crowded fast!
I usually sit at the bar as I find you get a good view of the lake & it’s more lively.
The pizza has always been excellent here. I always get a larger size pizza so I have left overs!
