From a Family Kitchen to a
Community Landmark

It all began in 1998 when the Marchetti family opened a small pizza counter on Siggelkow Road in McFarland, Wisconsin. Patriarch Lorenzo Marchetti brought traditional stone-baking techniques learned in his Italian hometown, combining them with Wisconsin's finest local produce to create something truly unique.

What started as a humble family operation quickly became the heart of the McFarland community. Today, Green Lantern Pizza is still family-run, still stone-baked, and still committed to delivering the same handcrafted quality that made us a United States favorite. Every dough is hand-stretched, every sauce is made from scratch, and every topping is thoughtfully sourced.

  • Stone-baked in our authentic wood-fired oven at 900°F for the perfect crust
  • Ingredients sourced from local Wisconsin farms and trusted regional suppliers
  • Dough hand-stretched fresh daily — never frozen, never pre-made
  • Family-owned and operated for over 25 years in McFarland, WI
  • Catering services available for events across the United States region
Our Mission

To make every meal a moment worth remembering

At Green Lantern Pizza, our mission is simple: bring people together through the joy of exceptional, handcrafted food. We believe that a great pizza is more than ingredients — it's craft, care, and community on a plate. We strive to honor that belief with every order, every day, across McFarland, WI and beyond.

Our Core Values

Fresh Ingredients

We source only the freshest local produce, hand-selecting every tomato, herb, and cheese to ensure exceptional quality in every bite.

Handcrafted Quality

Every dough is hand-kneaded, every sauce stirred by hand. We refuse shortcuts because our customers deserve the real thing.

Community First

We are proud to be a pillar of the McFarland community — supporting local events, schools, and neighbors for over 25 years.

Passion & Care

Food made with love tastes different. Our team pours genuine passion into every pizza because we care about every customer's experience.
