"Happy Camper is a really good bar that has some solid pizza. It’s known for creative toppings, like buffalo chicken and pulled pork, and a crust that’s soft and airy but also crunchy on the outside (deep dish or thin crust diehards might not love it, but you can’t please everyone). You’re really here for the space, which is huge and kind of like an adult playground, with tire swing barstools, a rehabbed Airstream camper, and an enormous neon outline of the Great Lakes. It’s a weird decor combination, but it succeeds in making the entire experience fun, and it might even bring you back to that time in college when you took improv classes (before realizing comedy is best left to those who are funny)." - adrian kane
"This fun pizza spot is pretty used to delivery. But now they’re also doing DIY pizza kits, and packages like the Survival Kit, which includes a six-pack, two pizzas, cookie dough, and a roll of toilet paper" - adrian kane
"A newcomer to the Old Town neighborhood, Happy Camper caters to the meat lovers, the gluten-free crowd, and vegetarians alike. Just be sure to stop in early, the lines on the weekend just go to show how good this place really is!" - Kake
"Happy Camper is a great spot to post up with a group and eat things covered in cheese, the highlight of which will be pizza (though an order of breadsticks with goat cheese never hurt anyone). The pies at this upbeat Old Town spot come with all sorts of toppings, from roasted corn to blackened chicken, so there's a little something for everyone. And if you have friends who aren’t as interested in the game as you, even they can get behind the beer, flannel, and food." - sam faye, john ringor
"This pizza spot offers brunch for delivery and carryout, seven days a week. You can get a breakfast pizza with eggs, bacon, and cheese, breakfast tacos or sandwiches, and they even have Bloody Mary kits. They also have a pizza and prosecco deal, if you want to make mimosas." - adrian kane
