    ponza rotta
    Julia J.

    Finished a weekend in Waukesha by getting Jimmy Grotto take out Ponza Rotta Pizza with the hubby. If you haven't been to this little establishment - it is an absolute must! We opted to share a pepperoni ponza rotta with a side of the deep friend pepper rings (think onion ring only green peppers). Still as good as I remember as a kid! This place knows what they are doing. Personally, I will always take my ponza rotta take out, because the restaurant itself is pretty greasy smelling - but I guess what can you do! Still so worth it!!

    A favorite of the locals and a hidden gem. I grew up in Waukesha and loved getting these on the weekends. I've brought a few friends here when I visit my folks and they LOVE it just as much as I do. I can't stray from my favorite... extra cheese, please! Jalapeño poppers were tasty and filled with a lot of cream cheese. Nice to see they take cards as well these days.

    Pure deliciousness! My friend has been telling me about his love for a ponza for sometime now (he grew up eating this). When I first heard about this ponza, I was trying to picture what this thing looked like. Well, I finally got to try the ponza for myself on Sunday, 9/29/24 around lunch time. The restaurant is a cute original dive which to me are the absolute best spots. Right when we walked in, we were greeted, and the gentleman was so friendly. Everyone working was very nice and communicated well. We ordered a cheese ponza and jalapeño poppers. Our food took about 15 minutes to make and came out hot. Jalapeño poppers were excellent- hot, cream cheesy, and perfectly crispy. The ponza was served hot, cheesy, and perfectly flaky. Absolutely delicious. This may be a must stop for me when I'm visiting my cousins in WI. Hidden little gem! I'm from MN so I loved how slot machines were in the restaurant and the Vikings/Packer game was playing (Yay- Vikings!). I'll definitely be back for another ponza next time I'm in the area.

    See all

    Just moved back in town and my first stop was Jimmys grotto. I got a ponza with cheese, sausage,mushroom and olives. It didn't disappoint.

    The food had no flavor. The place needs to be updated to the fullest. Been there twice with friends don't care for it.
