In this interview for the 2024 Kenosha Area Visitors Guide, we asked Dana Nelson, owner of Kaiser's Pizza and Pub of Kenosha, about her business and her favorite things in Kenosha.
Kaiser's Pizza and Pub of Kenosha is located in Downtown Kenosha. The casual, family-friendly establishment features a full menu. Kaiser’s “World Famous” Pizza has been voted No. 1 Pizza in Kenosha County — with options of thin crust, deep dish, or even double decker, the pizza creations are endless. Check out the rest of their menu too! Be sure to order the Beer Nuggets!
Visit Kenosha: What is your favorite thing(s) about Kenosha?
Dana: I love all the small businesses that are locally owned. I am grateful to be friends with many of these entrepreneurs and love collaborating with them.
Visit Kenosha: What makes your business unique?
Dana: We weren’t always locally owned! I was able to transition from manager of the business to owner. I am so grateful that the community embraced this restaurant and has allowed me to continue to do business here as a resident.
Visit Kenosha: What's your favorite season here? Why?
Dana: I love the hustle and bustle of summer. We see traffic from special events, the boaters at the marina, and people out enjoying the nice weather. Everything feels so alive.
Visit Kenosha: Why did you choose to be a Kenosha business owner?
Dana: I was managing the restaurant, and had the opportunity to purchase it. I love the product, our team, and the people we serve.
Visit Kenosha: What do you like about being a business owner?
Dana: Getting to work with people — not just my team here at Kaiser’s, but the other downtown businesses, the venues and retail stores who order from us or collaborate with us, and our guests. We love when someone comes in for the first time and asks about food or fun things to do in Kenosha. We get to be an extension of promoting tourism here. I also love that I can get a 10” pan pizza with pepperoni any time I want.
Visit Kenosha: What are your favorite activities to do in Kenosha?
Dana: I love going for walks — we have beautiful parks and miles of lakefront to explore. And I also enjoy supporting other local restaurants with my family.
Visit Kenosha: What do your customers say about Kenosha? About Kaiser’s?
Dana: We hear that people love Downtown Kenosha — the lakefront, the shops, the events and activities, and especially the dining scene. People love our pizza and beer nuggets. We are so honored to be part of the Kenosha pizza offering — because Kenosha is home to seriously delicious pizza.
