Upon crossing the sacred threshold of Tamarack Pizza, I did not merely order lunch -- I embarked on…read morea culinary pilgrimage. The Tamarack sandwich arrived like a hero returning from battle, radiant and unapologetically magnificent. The bread? A golden vessel of destiny. The fillings? A symphony of textures and flavors conducting themselves in flawless harmony. Each bite unfolded like a well-paced novel -- rising action, climax, and a triumphant finish. Time briefly lost meaning. Conversations hushed. Somewhere, an eagle may have soared. Was it "just a sandwich"? Technically. But also, perhaps, a reminder that greatness can exist between two slices of bread. Five stars. Would ascend again. Now the real review. Stopped into Tamarack Pizza in Portage and ordered The Tamarack sandwich. It's the kind of place that doesn't need to oversell itself -- it just delivers. The sandwich was solid across the board: well-balanced, fresh, and made the way you hope it will be when you order a house specialty. Good bread, generous filling, and everything worked together without being fussy. Service was friendly and efficient, and the whole experience felt easy. No theatrics -- just good food done right. I will come back next time I'm in the area.

The thin crust here is flaky and the cheese is very satisfyingly stretchy. The sauce is chunky, but our pickier eaters just picked the big chunks off. The inside is a bar area with some seating and then a second room with more seating, which I am putting pictures of since it was just my family inside. There is also a patio. My in-laws say it's important to add: they only have Pepsi products on the soda gun. Also, beer in cans and wine only. I'm excited to go back for the spinach-artichoke-dip pizza.

Very modern, and definitely well-kept. The inside of the restaurant portion has high ceilings, cool decor, and lots of seating including couch-like spots. We sat out on the patio though, which was so spacious. There's even a green space between the restaurant and the taproom building on the opposite side. There you'll find yard games, adirondack chairs, and even a stage where I assume they have live music. We just grabbed some wings and beers on our stop in. Love they offer 20oz in their big, custom mugs. My lager was just OK but my husband loved his amber-like selections. Good wings too. Solid spot for locals and travelers.

We had been camping nearby, & wanted pizza. Never expected much, when you blindly pick a place, but…read morethey will deliver. That's a plus!! It was delicious! I'm originally from the Milwaukee area. They do know how to make pizza there. Then you move out of Milwaukee, to a small city in the country. People tell you where the great restaurants are. I'm really not sure what they are comparing their choices to. So we ordered a pizza, from the place that everyone raved about in town by us. It smelled really good, started to eat it, I would have rather ate the cardboard box that it came in. The crust was disgusting! The sauce had no flavor, neither did the Italian sausage. That was the first & last place we tried pizza in this area. Back to "Thee Upper Crust Pizzeria", Pardeeville, WI. I cannot Bragg enough about their Pizza. It's the best I have ever tasted! The smell when you walked in made me want to try everything on the menu! Then the pizza! We like thin crust. It was Amazing! The sauce was the best I ever tasted! Just the right amount of spices and the flavor was incredible! Italian sausage, was perfect! They actually use the cheese from our small city. That is really good cheese. Just everything that we have tried there, has been amazing! I have to admit though, I cannot go there & not order their pizza! Anything else we have wanted to try, we take it to go. They package up everything very well. The service is very fast, waiters & waitresses are very polite. We have even had the owner stop by our table to make sure everything was great, & asked if there was anything that he could get for us. Very pleasant people. We actually go there quite often, the food is just that good. From our home, to "thee Upper Crust Pizzeria" takes us 1hour & 38 minutes. That is one way! So it's a drive, but so worth the trip! They do not let you give more than a 5 star rating here, which sucks! This place should have double the stars! And, now I want their pizza...

Added the fries, but not my favorite. Looks like they use soy oil. We did not care for the baked ziti. Meat sauce had lots of spicy ground sausage. Too spicy for me.
