Our Story

From a Single Oven to a Community Staple

It all started with a simple dream: make pizza the way it was meant to be made — with patience, pride, and premium ingredients. Green lantern pizza was founded right here in McFarland, Wisconsin, by people who believed that great food brings people together.

Over the years, our recipes have stayed true to our roots while our menu has grown to serve every craving. From classic margheritas to bold specialty pies, every pizza that leaves our kitchen carries the same love we put in on day one.

Fresh, Local Ingredients

We source vegetables, meats, and dairy from trusted local and regional suppliers to keep every bite as fresh as possible.

Stone-Baked Perfection

Our pizzas are baked on stone decks at high heat, creating that signature crisp crust and beautifully melted cheese every time.

Made with Passion

Every dough ball is hand-stretched, every sauce is made from scratch, and every pizza is checked before it reaches your table or door.
