I've had Cranky Pat's a few times now... Always only partaking in the buffet.
If you order off the menu, it can be VERY pricey... the all you can eat buffet is a pretty good deal though, for right around $10 for the buffet and a soft drink.
The pizza is usually very good. I'm not a hug fan of the sauce though. and I have a love / hate relationship w/ the thin crust. I love the taste of the wood fired thin crust, but it's never very filling.
the pizza usually is quite greasy, so depending on how you enjoy your pizza, that could make or break it for you. I for one, love a great greasy pizza. :)
Overall though, I'm a big fan of Cranky Pat's. And will continue to go there, as I only work a short distance away...
Yelpers Beware!
If I could give this place 0 stars, I absolutely would. I completely regret my decision to trust Cranky Pat's Yelp reviews, this was hands-down the WORST pizza I've ever had in my life, and the biggest waste of $25 ever.
My first indications to leave should have been when we walked in and the entire place was empty and there were at least five flies buzzing around everywhere. My boyfriend and I came in and ordered one of the specialty pizzas, a vegetarian option with spinach and feta cheese along with some other vegetables. We asked the waitress to substitute mushrooms for the olives, because of personal preference. Â Although we were the only ones in the restaurant, the pizza took nearly 30 minutes to arrive at our table.
Once it did, I unbelievably disappointed.
- I don't know whether to attribute it to the sauce or the pizza dough (or both), but the pizza was incredibly salty.
- The pizza was literally a soggy mess. We couldn't even pick up the slices because the bottom was just plain wet.
- The mushroom substitution was ridiculous - the cook in the back smothered the thing in mushrooms, and we could barely find a single bit of spinach, feta, or anything else.
To top it all off, the waitress charged us for each individual ingredient on the pizza because we asked for mushrooms in place of olives. There was no indication of this substitution policy on the menu, and she didn't bother mentioning this when we asked for the substitution.
I e-mailed my situation to the owner, Jason, and he made it clear that Cranky Pat's has no respect for their customers. This place does not deserve your business and will only leave you with regret - don't waste your time or your money.
I've been here several times while on vacation in Oshkosh. The pizza is quite tasty. I recommend the Tailgater. The local craft beer selection is great. I wish they had more taps, but I can't complain too much. The service has been friendly and quick to refill my water or offer another beer. The restaurant is clean with ample seating. It's a must visit for me when I'm in town.
Review Source:OSHKOSH NOSH.
I was recently in downtown Oshkosh to cheer on friends running in the Oshkosh Half Marathon. The runners were very hungry after running thirteen miles and I was hungry from driving from Milwaukee to watch them run. WIN WIN!
PRE: Dined on a Sunday afternoon. Group of 5, no other customers in restaurant. There wasn't any pizza on the buffet table.
ORDERED: Our waitress took our drink orders and the chef came to our table and asked if we wanted to do the pizza buffet. We said yes and he's like "I'll start making them and they'll be ready in fifteen minutes". HOW AWESOME! Cranky Pat's could have easily said the buffet wasn't available. Fifteen minutes later the chef starts bringing pizzas out! The pizzas tasted awesome and everyone in our group was very happy.
COFFEE: I asked the waitress what kind of coffee they had expecting a local roaster. She replied "regular and decaf". Enough said and I later spotted canisters of national commodity coffee. I walked down to New Moon for my java fix. C'mon Pat - you can offer something better than that!

These folks rock. Â Great pizza in downtown Oshkosh, great service. Â Everytime we went (multiple times during our stay), parking in front of the storefront wasn't a problem. Â Best thin crust we've had in quite a while. Â Wish there was a location in Saint Paul. Â Nothing up there compares to here. Â We loved the sausage & mushroom (fresh). Â Heats up great for lunch the next day!
Review Source:I've heard mixed reviews about Cranky Pats so we decided to try it out. The cranky sticks were great but the pizza was average at best. I prefer a good frozen pizza over the pizza at Cranky Pats. I would go back if someone else really wanted to go but I will not recommend them or go there by myself. Very disappointing.
Review Source:Ok, I admit it - I love pizza. Â The love affair started way back when I was a young kid growing up on Totinos Party Pizza. Â Can anyone else remember when they were on sale - 10 pizzas for $10? Â I tend to remember different parts of my life by the kind of pizza I was eating at the time.
Tonight I got to enjoy a great pizza @ Cranky Pat's establishment in Oshkosh, WI. Â I would recommend the "Top Row" pizza as it contains all the best items available, in my opinion. Â Wifey would have loved it to as it contained sausage and green pepper.
Attentive service, a gregarious cook that made just the right number of visits to the dining room, and really good pizza served immediately out of the oven.
Go check it out! Â I know I will return!
I'm a big pizza fan and while in town for EAA I ate at several pizza places. Â This was by far the best!!! Â Awesome toppings on their pizza and probably the thinest crust you will find. Â Pizza like this is usally very greasy and this was not dripping in grease and was delicious!! Â I'll be back next year!
Review Source:I am one of those weirdo's that doesn't eat her crust(s).
That being said, I would like to let it be known that I am officially in love with Cranky Pat's! Crispy, thin and virtually crust free. I found my pizza soul mate and I rarely, I mean rarely fall in love with pizza.
Maui Zaui paired with a spotted cow is heaven on earth.
As soon as I got home, I devoured my left overs. Mmmmm seconds.
