Pizza from Ropa's is how I learned to love deep dish. It is an incredible and delicious experience, and the ingredients live up to the final result. They have always provided friendly service, and the ambiance is that of a tiny hole in the wall pizzeria, though with takeout, you can enjoy the meal at home as well. Of all of the pizza places I have tried, Ropa's ties for 1st place with another unique shop somewhere in Petosky, MI. read more

Customer service has always been top shelf through numerous visits. love the pizza, easy ordering.

Love taking the uncooked pizzas home and eating when I want. I pop 2-3 in the freezer and pull out when needed. They're delicious!

Chicago-style pizza in Central Wisconsin? Yes, it's awesome! I came across a friend's Instagram page when I saw the massive red pie. My husband is a huge fan of deep dish pizza and and we had to try it. This establishment is about 40-miles north from where I reside but worth it. Definitely something we ate with a fork and knife when we brought it home. The sauce is delicious. It's well seasoned with plenty of herbs and spices. Even for its size, I'm happy to report that the middle of the pie was cooked throughly. That was one thing I was concerned with. We've only done take-out twice and didn't dine in either time. Our first experience ordering was confusing. There were tons of instructions due to the pandemic. The convenient location is in a strip mall with plenty of parking. read more

Ropa's Chicago Style Pizza - a deep dish pizza - Italian Near Me - Wausau, Wisconsin

Ordered for pickup and we loved all four specialty pizzas we tried. Super great customer service as well.

This was the best deep dish pizza I have ever had in Wisconsin. The 40 minute wait was well worth in. There is not much room for indoor seating. That being said it's perfect order for takeout. read more

So thankful to have found deep dish pizza in Wausau! Having moved away from home in northern WI to Florida, I have learned (begrudgingly) to live without deep dish pizza in my life. But when I'm back in the Midwest, you better believe it's the first thing I'm looking for! On a recent family weekend in Wausau, I stumbled across Ropa's on Yelp and immediately had to put in an order! We got a couple big deep dish pizzas and a few regular thin crust pies for our group and loved every bite! They have a ton of toppings and crust styles, but the deep dish seems to be their specialty. We got it delivered, which went as quickly as could be expected with so much snow on the ground, but they were very helpful with their service. Overall, a great deep dish pizza joint I'd order from again! read more

We ordered online for our group of 8. The order was hot and ready as expected We had both a thin and a chicago style pizza and both were delicious ! The chicago style had a fresh tomato sauce that was light and flavorful read more

We ordered to go so we'd have nice hot pizza without having to wait for delivery. The order was prepared on time and both pizzas were delicious! The wings were crispy and plentiful as well. We will definitely order from them again next time we're in Wausau! read more

As a Chicagoan now living in California, I had to try this place. It did not disappoint. The thin crust pizza and salad were excellent. I'll be back if I'm ever in this part of Wisconsin again. Molina was welcoming and attentive. Give it a try. read more

I have eaten a lot of Chicago deep dish pizzas I'm my life. This one was pretty good but way I mean way less cheese than any I have ever eaten. Wish I had known it was so skimpy on cheese I would have gladly paid for extra. Sauce was good and was service. read more

Ropa's is a gem of a place tucked away in a small strip shopping plaza just off the highway. Traveling up to the Northwoods in Wisconsin, we usually stop in Wausau to eat. By luck we saw reviews for Ropa's and decided to stop in. Ropa's is mostly take out and I think delivery but they have a couple of tables in front you can eat on. Various slices both pan and thin crust were on display and we chose both pan and thin slices. Wow is all I could say after tasting them. Everyone wants to refer to Chicago pizza if they make pizza but saying it and doing it are two different things. Ropa's is clearly in the latter group. Great crust, sauce, toppings and cheese make for an outstanding pizza. Staff is super friendly as well. Only wish would be for Ropa's to be more if a restaurant with a larger seating area. I'll take them either way! We liked our pizza so much we stopped there again on our way home a few days later. read more

Delivery Pizza took a long time (2 hours) and was cold on arrival. We called and we were given some credit towards next time. Pizza was pretty good after heating in the oven. Thank you to the owners for your response.. the pizza was great.. We understand that running a business is hard.. We were more inclined to leave a review because we were met with a lot of resistance when calling to tell the manager that our pizza was cold and late. She argued with us.. saying it was not 2 hours (but instead 1 hr and 57 minutes). That was frustrating.. We feel it's best to give feedback so great products can be successful. read more

Amazing Pizza! Service is amazing! Such nice people and very appreciative of your business!

After having several lunch slices over the past year, with deep dish slices only on Fridays, I decided to order a whole deep dish pizza for dinner. Inside Chicagoland, you could not get away with topping a deep dish pizza with anything other than pepperoni or sausage, but in Wausau all the toppings are available. We added green pepper, onions, along with pepperoni. Traditional, very flavorful tomato sauce topped our pie. The thickness was half of what I have had in Chicago, and the crust was unusually bland. This is a take-out joint with few inside chairs. I'll stick with a slice over my lunch hour. read more

We were in town staying one night for Special Olympics state bowling. Decided we wanted pizza, but didn't want Pizza Hut. We decided on Ropa's as half of our family wanted pizza and the other half wanted boneless chicken wings. We were a little apprehensive due to the negative reviews on the delivery time, but decided since we had nothing else going on, to order Ropa's. We ordered thin crust canadian bacon and pineapple pizza and boneless wings with ranch dressing. We ordered on-line....super easy! Feedback on this....the delivery time stated 50 minutes, but it was more like 1.5 hours. I realize if they posted 1.5 hours it might freak someone out, but I can see why the reviews were negative. This is a hard one.....not sure what I would do on this. Regarding the food....the pizza was delicious. The crust was the perfect thickness. It was crisp and done perfectly, no burnt edges as sometimes you can get with pizza. The sauce was really good. Not too sweet, not to salty. Bonus...the crust to sauce ratio was spot on. Sometimes thin crust can get soggy and messy if using to much sauce. The pineapple was in the perfect size chunks and the canadian bacon was diced...my favorite. The boneless wings were good, my family really enjoyed them. The ranch dressing was amazing! Overall, the food was worth the wait and the driver delivered with a friendly greeting and included paper plates and napkins! Great thinking as staying in a hotel room....you don't have those amenities. If you are not in a hurry, give them a try! read more

This is very, very good hand-made Chicago style deep dish pizza. No, neither my wife, uncle, or father's cousin's former roommate are from Chicago, so I do not have the "unique" qualifications of other reviewers. I just know really good pizza when I put it in my mouth, and this is it. Cheesy, tasty marinara, quality toppings, and a perfect crust. I agree that you probably don't want to stay in the tiny dining area to eat. I also agree that quality takes time, so if you're in a rush, go get some generic pizza from the nearest run-of-the-mill pizza chain and eat in fifteen minutes. But if you're willing to wait for good food, support local businesses, and pay a fair price for a great product, check this place out. And if you're going to get all bent out of shape when the pizza doesn't arrive the moment you expected it and they don't throw themselves to the floor to apologize, then you just don't understand how small delivery businesses operate. They have a couple drivers, and they estimate the time it takes based on present business. If the phone rings off the hook with other orders that need to be delivered in the same area as you after you hang up, what do you want them to do? Start calling everybody back and saying it might take a little longer than they first thought, or start making pizzas and delivering orders? If you want the fast food experience with corporate lackeys bowing and apologizing the minute something isn't to your liking, got to a fast food restaurant. So why four stars instead of five? The wings. These were the standard Sysco anorexic chicken drummies in the same generic hot sauce you'd get anywhere. Don't go for the wings unless you really need a fix. But DO make sure you pick up a bottle or two of Point root beer while you're there. read more

Some of the best pizzza around Chicago style deep dish and thin crust both delicious!

Awesome pizzas and Chicago crust! Perfect and hidden treasure in Rib Mountain. So worth drive but with delivery too if you want.

You guys really need to consider all the negative feedback about delivery time and work to hire more people, or change ur business model so everything isn't from scratch. I'm a huge fan of your thin crust pizza, its my favorite here in Wausau, but every time I've ordered (at least 8 times), you are never on time, not even close. Always claim an hour for delivery, and it's more like 1.5-2 hours which is ridiculous and unacceptable. Dominos delivers in 20 mins. It's now a Thursday evening and it's been close to 1.5 hours. Last time the pizza took nearly 2 hours and I called and was told the delivery guy was in an accident...very hard to believe. Take your customers feedback serious or you're going to lose them! read more

Traveling through Wausau, we found Ropa's on the recommendation of a friend. We weren't looking for pizza, so decided on the calzone, which was delicious. Hospitality was great and Cody, the manager was very helpful and friendly. We will definitely stop again the next time we head north and have the thin crust pizza and/or pizza fries! read more

Very friendly and accommodating. The pizza and wings are legit. They keep the wings naked, which I thought was awesome. A great thin crust pizza. I travel through the area for work often and I will definitely be back. read more

Family was in town to ski and exhausted from the day. We decided to order pizza and Ropa's was recommended by the hotel staff. It was great pizza. Quick and friendly. The pizza fries were excellent (pan style). I would recommend the pan over the thin crust but overall they were both solid. Try it out if in Wausau. read more

The sauce is great. The pizza itself is good. BUT. And this is a BIG BUT, the service is the worst of all time. I ordered several pizzas and knew about the wait. Judging from all of the other reviews, you guys have your work cut out for you. I SPECIFICALLY called back and spoke with the jack ass that took my order and asked for plates, napkins and forks. He said "yeah they come with the order cause your at a hotel". When they showed up, guess what? NO PLATES! Get your act together and get that jack wagon manning the phones out of there. Thanks. All you have to do to "look into it" is look at all the other reviews. read more

Good pizza, Great size, wife and I got a 12 inch deep dish Chicago style.Little disappointed it was kind of lackluster for flavor, but it was a nice thick pizza nevertheless. Make sure to get a self plenty of time they are a little bit busier so call ahead. Maybe six tables for 12 people inside more of a carry-out place. Parking is tight so if you have a trailer leave it behind, Be rough to turn read more

We were pleasantly surprised by this place. We were in a pinch trying to find a good vegetarian option when on the road. Thanks to Yelp we gave it a try. The Chicago stay deep dish was delicious and accurate. I highly recommend! read more

Ordered delivery. They said it would take an hour. Didn't get my pizza for 2 hours. Finally got my long waited for deep dish pizza. It looked good but fell short of my expectations. It tasted good but was it was cool. Felt like it was missing something. But for Wisconsin it's a good Chicago style pizza I guess. Combo sandwich was good however. Won't be ordering again though because it's expensive and I'm not waiting 2 hours again read more

Always the best.. closest to Chicago pizza around! Nothing like a taste of home the pizza is always perfect and the sandwiches are amazing too! I guarantee you wont be disappointed read more

Ordered delivery on a Monday night. We were told it would be an hour, instead waited an hour and a half. We called them after an hour or so and they said it was on the way. No apology was offered. Now, we're from Chicago so if we know one thing, it's pizza. First the pizza wasn't even warm and it certainly wasnt hot like it should be. The sauce was mediocre at best and the crust was bland as bland could be. The pepperoni had a decent taste but nothing spectacular or anything worth returning for. There are other pizza places in town that are much better options (ahem... Politos). To summarize the experience at Ropa's...the customer service is non-existent which is really a shame. As in, you're the one who gave the ETA on the order so if I call back, be decent about the mess up, slow service or whatever. The pizza was sad. We won't be returning. read more

Had this delivered based on a recommendation from a guy who grew up in an Italian family. Spot on. I had the thin crust and it was perfect. read more

I have always loved Ropa's and ordered it frequently when ordering pizza in Wausau and it has always been the best service and delivery! However this time ordering, the lady initially said it would take an hour and a half to get the pizza. The time comes and still no pizza, we call, and they said the driver just left. 30 mins later, call and the lady was really quite rude and frustrating... arguing saying it was only so and so minutes since we called last. Pizza didnt show up until around 2 hours and 20 mins. Probably wont order delivery from Ropa's again, but their pizza is delicious Chicago style pizza! read more

I was looking for delivery in my area and just found out that Ropas delivers. I've never had it before, but I'll defiantly be ordering again. It took just over an hour for it to be delivered, but it is SOO GOOD. The delivery driver was very nice! 10/10 great pizza read more

Was hoping this was just like Rosatis when it was in this spot. NO WAY CLOSE. The Italian sandwiches were terrible. And the guy behind the counter actually was yelling at someone on the phone then chewed me out for asking what all comes on the Italian sandwiches. NO NOT WORTH IT read more

3rd time ordering from this place. I had a veggies delight today on thin crust and it was quite good. I remembered it being better the first time. Great service, quick delivery. Just wish they would include plates, and napkins to their delivery service especially if I requested it. read more

Great customer service is hard to find these days and Cody was awesome ! Great food, great service, great experience, thank you !

Being from Chicago I was steptical.. but when I opened the box and saw the pizza cut in squares I knew they had it right! Sure enough, half a pizza later I felt at home. Sausage Pepperoni and Giardienerra was so good! Bonus points for great service! Thanks to the crew for the good experience read more

Be very careful when ordering online. I ordered what I thought was a sausage pizza. It ended up being a sausage classic which comes with sausage, mushrooms, green peppers and onions. Needless to say my kids will not eat it and neither will my husband or I, we're not too keen on green peppers. When I called they did nothing to correct the problem and I will never order from them again. read more
