March 21, 2018 – West Bend, WI – In February we announced Eaton’s Pizza would be returning to West Bend. The franchise owner was coming in from Fond du Lac.
This morning I received a call about the location.
According to the owner Eaton’s Fresh Pizza will be located at 830 E. Paradise Drive. That’s in the strip mall across from Blue Dog Golf Course.
The owner is looking at a target opening date of July 1. He said he will need about 10 employees. Watch for upcoming job postings at WashingtonCountyInsider.com
On a history note:
Neighbors who have lived in the community a while will remember when Eaton’s Fresh Pizza was located downtown West Bend at 105 S. Main Street.
Dale Hochstein ran it until 2004 when it was sold and turned into The Daily Grind.
The Daily Grind eventually sold to Miguel Herrera who opened Jaliscos and now the location is home to Casa Tequila.
Back in the day of Eaton’s Pizza in West Bend the store had great sub sandwiches and you could order 2 different meats or cheese on a ticket then 5 veggies and they’d stuff it full of goodness and wrap the sandwich tight in cellophane. I think they even wrapped a peppermint with every sandwich.
Also there was somewhat of a gift shop with white lattice-work and green cloth draping.
Wish they never would have left. With a new Pizza Hut, Papa Murphy’s, Marco’s, Sal’s, Maricio’s, Papa John’s and the new Pizza Ranch, not so sure we need more pizza. Most of these pizza joins were not here when Eaton’s left. The new location for Eaton’s is suspect as well. Really out of the way unless you live in the SE corner of the City. But now I am hungry for Pizza!
Best of luck!
We loved Eaton pizza when they were here years ago, but they chose to leave West Bend. Why on earth do we need another Pizza place? What West Bend needs is a good family restaurant….Outback or Carrabba’s, Chili’s, Maggianos….anything but another Pizza place. We have more than enough of them not to mention all of the many Asians food places. Enough already!
Glad you are coming back! We ate at the old location for prom twice! Bringing back some memories.
Eatons in West Bend originally was located near the corner of Main and Veterans Ave. For those who remember the former Delranos pizzaria from back in the 80’s Eatons purchased the former Delranos and were in that same location for several years before they moved to where Casa Tequila is now!
I lived in Fond du Lac from 2001 to 2013 and Eatons was fantastic there. Can’t wait for them to re-open in WB!
Eaton’s has been a favorite of mine since I was a kid growing up in Fond du Lac. I’m so glad I won’t have to drive up there to get their pizza anymore. There are a lot a pizza places in West Bend but none quite as good as Eaton’s! Can’t wait for the store to open!
