Thin crust at an outdoor booth, toasted subs, Chicago-style deep dish and bar pies, with Sunday hours, kids and parking sorted.
From a Greek family's thin crust eaten at an outdoor booth to Chicago-style deep dish served at the south end of town, Watertown WI pizza covers real range. Three kitchens anchor Watertown pizza: PJ's Pizza and Phil's Pizza Palace close to downtown and Rosati's Pizza out on Market Way, with Bigg's Bar & Grill and The Score Sports Bar adding bar-side pies. PJ's sits about 0.3 miles west of the center of town and Phil's about 0.2 miles south of it, while Rosati's is about 2.5 miles south.
Pick PJ's for a toasted sub with the pizza, Phil's for gyros and thin crust to carry out, Rosati's for deep dish and a sit-down table, and Bigg's if the group wants a burger as well. The sections below take each in turn, then cover the bar options and the practical details of hours, Sundays, kids and parking.

For everything else in town, start with the what else Watertown offers.
PJ's Pizza: pizza and toasted subs on North Church Street
PJ's Pizza at 118 North Church Street lists pizza, subs, wraps, wings, tacos and desserts on its own site, with delivery, carryout and a spacious patio. Restaurantji names a Sausage & Pepperoni pizza and a Meat Lover's among its pies, and a Slice article recommends it for vegetarian pizza.
Google lists PJ's open 10 am to 9 pm Monday through Saturday and closed on Sunday. The profile prices a meal at $10 to $20 a person, and it lists cards and contactless payment.
Phil's Pizza Palace: Greek thin crust on South 2nd Street
Phil's Pizza Palace at 112 South 2nd Street is a Greek pizzeria, and Travel Wisconsin lists pizza, gyros, burgers and sandwiches. The restaurant's own site tells its ownership story: Phil ran it for 17 years before moving back to Greece, Mario owned it for 10 years, and the current owner is the first non-Greek owner, at 18 years. The site says the all-thin-crust dough, the sauce, the sausage, the spaghetti sauce and the meatballs are made by the owner.
Google lists Phil's open noon to 7 pm Wednesday through Friday and noon to 5 pm on Saturday, with Sunday, Monday and Tuesday closed, the shortest week of the three pizza kitchens. The profile lists a children's menu, free street parking and a free lot, and wheelchair-accessible entrance, parking, restroom and seating. Carryout from Phil's is about 0.7 miles from Riverside Park, which the Watertown Historical Society says was established in 1910 on an island in the Rock River, and Google lists the park open 6 am to 11 pm daily.
Rosati's Pizza: Chicago deep dish on Market Way
Rosati's Pizza at 1907 Market Way lists Chicago-style deep dish, thin crust and a Double Dough pie, with dine-in, carryout and delivery to Jefferson, Oconomowoc and Johnson Creek. Of the three pizza kitchens, this is the one that lists reservations and a beer and wine list.
Google lists Rosati's open 11 am to 9 pm every day of the week, the steadiest schedule of the three pizza kitchens. The profile lists reservations, a children's menu, good for groups, a free lot and street parking, and wheelchair-accessible entrance, parking, restroom and seating.
Pizza at the bar: Bigg's and The Score
Out on River Drive, Bigg's Bar & Grill at 1217 River Drive is about 1 mile south of the center of town and about 0.9 miles from PJ's. Restaurantji files it under bars, pubs and pizza, and lists homemade pizzas such as a Supreme beside burgers, and a Slice article recommends it for thin-crust pizza.
The Score Sports Bar at 300 North 4th Street is about 0.1 miles east of the center of town, and its description says it serves drinks alongside pizza options for evening bites. The floor has a pool table, electronic dart boards, a coin pusher machine and beer pong setups, and Google lists it open until 2 am Sunday through Thursday and 2:30 am on Friday and Saturday. The profile does not mark it as good for children, so ask before bringing a family.
National chains, briefly
Restaurantji also lists a Papa Murphy's at 632 South Church Street and a Little Caesars at 306 West Main Street, though this guide has not confirmed their current hours.
Planning: Sundays, late nights, kids and parking
On Sunday, PJ's and Phil's are both closed, so Rosati's from 11 am to 9 pm, Bigg's until midnight and The Score are the options. Phil's is also closed Monday and Tuesday and closes at 7 pm on Wednesday through Friday, so it rewards an early plan. For a late slice, Rosati's and PJ's stop at 9 pm while Bigg's runs to midnight or 2 am and The Score to 2 am, so the bars take over after dark. Hours here come from Google profiles, so call ahead for holidays.
Google lists children's menus at PJ's, Phil's, Rosati's and Bigg's, and each lists a free lot and free street parking. Rosati's and Phil's list an accessible entrance, parking, restroom and seating, while PJ's lists an accessible entrance and parking. Rosati's is the pick when the group wants a sit-down dinner with pasta and sandwiches beyond the pizza list.
Whether the night calls for thin crust at an outdoor booth or deep dish on Market Way, Watertown pizza comes down to which side of town and which crust you want.
