This is from my first time experiencing The Getaway since I always see it while going down Bellevue Street to get home. I came here on a whim because I was hungry and unsure exactly what I wanted for dinner. The building is bigger from how it looks outside.
It's not much different from a dive bar,the pizza choices aren't much and the crust is a premade thin crust just judging its appearance, but you can customize your toppings and they use real cheese. I know this because I watched the bartender assemble the pizza and they sprinkled on the mozzarella cheese. It's definitely a nice contrast from dive bars in Green Bay cooking pre-made pizzas.

I will continue to give bad reviews until someone reaches out!!!! If you are black do not come to this rude racist place they...
