It seems that most ghost kitchens are tied to a national chain, but not in the case of WisCow Pizza & Wings, which is part of Monk’s.
Typically, you would order a burger or sandwich from Monk’s, so WisCow provides an opportunity to expand the menu at the Verona, Middleton and Sun Prairie locations.
Pizzas come in seven varieties, plus you can build your own. In addition, you can choose between a 10″ gluten-free thin crust or a 14″ hand-tossed crust. Of note, both my pizzas were overcooked.
I enjoyed the bacon cheeseburger pizza ($15.99 10″, $21.99 14″), topped with ground beef, bacon and onions, despite the fact that the pizza was missing the signature pickles and Monk’s sauce. The thin crust was still thick enough to hold up all the ingredients, and it had a nice chew.
The meatlover pizza ($15.99, $21.99) was fairly average. I appreciated the generous portion of pepperoni, sausage, ham and bacon–even though much of it was burned–but there wasn’t much flavor to the pizza, if you can believe that. The hand-tossed crust also was bland.
Among the starters, I ordered the Beyond chicken tender basket ($12.99), which was a pleasant surprise. The fried tenders are well crafted, with a nice crunch outside and tenderness inside. You wouldn’t necessarily realize it wasn’t meat, a good sign.
Similar to Monk’s menu, WisCow has loaded mac & cheese dishes. The Triple Pork mac & cheese was a meaty delight. The cheese sauce was super watery, but the entree was saved by the tasty carnitas, ham and bacon. It’s also supposed to come with a fried egg, but alas, it was missing.
Wings also are on the menu, but I didn’t order them since I’ve had them before at Monk’s.
WisCow is open for lunch and dinner every day. You can order carryout from WisCow directly or order through EatStreet for carryout or delivery. Note, the prices are extremely inflated (+30%) on EatStreet’s site.
