Where to Get Heart-Shaped Pizza for Valentine's Day 2026

Valentine's Day falls on a Saturday this year, which means families across greater Milwaukee have no excuse not to make it a pizza night to remember. Whether you want a buttery Chicago-style deep dish in the shape of a heart, a classic Wisconsin pan-style pie in a heart-shaped box, or a budget-friendly frozen option you can pop in the oven at home, the six-county Milwaukee metro has you covered. We tracked down every heart-shaped pizza option we could find — from beloved neighborhood institutions to national chains with dozens of local storefronts — so you can spend less time searching and more time enjoying the evening with the people you love.

This guide covers Milwaukee, Waukesha, Ozaukee, Washington, Racine, and Kenosha counties. Some of these offerings sell out fast and most benefit from a pre-order, so don't wait until February 14 to make your plan. Here's where to find heart-shaped pizza across greater Milwaukee this Valentine's Day.

Milwaukee County

The heart of the metro area delivers the widest selection of heart-shaped pies, starting with one of Milwaukee's most cherished family-owned Italian restaurants. Di Stefano's Pizza Palace at 4630 W. Forest Home Ave. has been making pizza from Sicilian family recipes since 1972, and each Valentine's Day they shape their signature thin-crust pies into hearts. This is the same spot famous for crafting fish-shaped "Lenten Pizza" every spring — seasonal shapes are part of their DNA. Heart-shaped pizzas are available by request for carryout, delivery, or curbside pickup. Thin-crust cheese pizzas range from around $7.75 for a 10-inch to $20.95 for an 18-inch, with specialty toppings running $1 to $2.50 extra. Call ahead at (414) 321-9600 to request the heart shape, and note they are closed Sundays and Mondays. Order online at distefanospizza.com or follow them on Instagram at @distefanospizzamke for Valentine's Day updates.

For something completely different, Up-Down Milwaukee on Brady Street is offering a Valentine's Day package from February 13 through 15 that pairs a heart-shaped pizza with six domestic tallboys, 80 arcade tokens, and an Up-Down fanny pack — all for $40. No reservation required. Located at 615 E. Brady St., this retro arcade bar makes their pizza in-house, so the heart-shaped pie is the real deal. It's a 21-and-over venue, making it better suited for date night or Galentine's than a family outing, but the combination of heart-shaped pizza and vintage gaming is hard to beat for sheer fun. Find them on Facebook or Instagram at @updownmke.

Lou Malnati's Pizzeria has become a Milwaukee-area Valentine's tradition with five locations across the metro. Their 9-inch heart-shaped deep dish is available in cheese, sausage, or pepperoni for the entire month of February — the longest availability window of any local option. Priced the same as a regular small deep dish, these pies feature Lou Malnati's famous Buttercrust pastry-style crust and Wisconsin mozzarella. For 2026, a portion of heart-shaped pizza proceeds benefits Make-A-Wish Wisconsin, continuing a charitable tradition that raised over $40,000 locally in a recent year. Their four carryout-and-delivery locations in Milwaukee County are Fox Point at 8799 N. Port Washington Rd. (414-446-3500), Greenfield at 4751 S. 76th St. (414-310-4600), and Oak Creek at 8171 S. Howell Ave. (414-260-0800). You can also grab them hot, half-baked for finishing at home, or frozen from the freezer case at any location. Pre-orders are strongly recommended, especially on Valentine's Day itself. Order at loumalnatis.com.

Rocky Rococo may be the most nostalgic heart-shaped pizza option in Wisconsin. This Madison-born chain has been doing heart-shaped pan-style pizza since the 1980s, making it one of the longest-running Valentine's pizza traditions in the state. The pizza arrives in a heart-shaped box — some locations have historically included a heart-shaped balloon and a free pizza cutter as well. Rocky Rococo operates eight locations in Milwaukee County alone, including storefronts on Brown Deer Rd. (414-355-5222), Capitol Dr. (414-465-0452), S. Howell Ave. near the airport (414-481-1616), Bluemound Rd. in Wauwatosa (414-771-4222), and Miller Park Way in West Milwaukee (414-649-9900), plus locations at Bayshore Town Center in Glendale, Southridge Mall in Greendale, and Mayfair Mall in Wauwatosa. Note that online ordering may be unavailable at some locations on Valentine's Day, so visiting in person or calling ahead is your best bet. Reach their corporate line at 1-800-888-7625 or visit rockyrococo.com.

Jet's Pizza brings something no other chain can match: a heart-shaped Detroit-style deep dish with their signature buttery crust and premium mozzarella. The catch is that it's available on February 14 only and sells out while supplies last, so plan accordingly. You can also get heart-shaped Jet's Bread with dipping sauce and heart-shaped Cinnamon Stix. Order online using promo codes LOVE (heart pizza), BEMINE (heart bread), and SWEET (heart cinnamon stix). Milwaukee County locations include 1857 E. Kenilworth Pl. on the Lower East Side (414-276-3000) and 9129 W. Greenfield Ave. in West Allis, plus the Glendale location at 6813 N. Green Bay Rd. Jet's also offers a gluten-free crust on their regular menu. Visit jetspizza.com for details.

If you're on the East Side, Sal's Pizza Eastside at 2974 N Oakland Ave. (414-967-8040) is worth a call — this New York-style pizzeria known for their hand-tossed pies and famous garlic knots may be able to accommodate heart-shaped requests with advance notice. Their foldable, authentic NYC-style crust has earned them a devoted following (over 21,000 social media followers), and they offer gluten-free crust options as well. Visit salspizzaeastside.com or call ahead to ask about Valentine's Day heart-shaped availability for 2026.

Sal’s Pizza

Waukesha County

Families in Waukesha County have strong local access to several of the heart-shaped pizza players already mentioned, plus a few location-specific options worth highlighting.

Lou Malnati's operates two Waukesha County locations. Their Brookfield restaurant at 15795 W. Bluemound Rd. (414-930-4500) is the only full-service dine-in Lou Malnati's in the entire Milwaukee area, making it an ideal Valentine's dinner destination for families who want the sit-down experience with their heart-shaped deep dish. Their Waukesha carryout location at 2720 N. Grandview Blvd. (262-672-6355) offers pickup and delivery. Both locations have heart-shaped pies available throughout February in cheese, sausage, or pepperoni, with the Make-A-Wish Wisconsin charitable tie-in.

Jet's Pizza has two Waukesha County storefronts for their February 14-only Detroit-style heart-shaped offerings: 2491 N. 124th St. in Brookfield (262-788-5007) and 530 W. Sunset Dr. in Waukesha.

Rocky Rococo has three Waukesha County locations — New Berlin at 15455 W. Howard Ave., Oconomowoc on Summit Ave., and Pewaukee on Silvernail Rd. — all offering their classic heart-shaped pan-style pizza in the signature heart-shaped box.

Papa Murphy's operates a location at 804 W. Sunset Dr. in Waukesha that carries the HeartBaker take-and-bake heart-shaped pizza, plus additional suburban locations in New Berlin, Mukwonago, Sussex, and Pewaukee. This is a particularly great option for Waukesha County families who want to make pizza night an interactive experience — kids love watching (and helping with) the baking process at home.

Ozaukee and Washington counties

The northern suburbs have fewer dedicated heart-shaped pizza options than the urban core, but the ones that exist are worth the trip.

Eaton’s Fresh Pizza

Eaton's Fresh Pizza is a family-owned take-and-bake pizza shop that has served the area since 1980, with locations in both Grafton (Ozaukee County) at 1615 Wisconsin Ave. and West Bend (Washington County) at 407 N. River Rd. Heart-shaped pizzas have been mentioned in customer reviews as a popular seasonal item, and the take-and-bake format gives them the flexibility to shape pies to order. Eaton's is known for loading their pizzas with toppings and using real Wisconsin cheese — a blend of mozzarella, cheddar, provolone, and parmesan. They offer gluten-free crust and cauliflower crust options, making them one of the best choices for families managing dietary restrictions. Their loyalty program awards points toward free pizza, and the West Bend location is open Monday through Sunday. Call ahead to confirm heart-shaped availability for Valentine's Day 2026 and to place your pre-order. Visit eatonsfreshpizzaonline.com for ordering details.

The Lou Malnati's Fox Point location at 8799 N. Port Washington Rd. sits right on the Ozaukee County border and delivers into parts of Mequon and Thiensville, giving northern suburb families access to heart-shaped deep dish all month long.

Papa Murphy's has a location in Saukville (Ozaukee County) carrying the $11 HeartBaker, and Papa John's and Pizza Hut both have storefronts scattered through these counties as well.

For families in Ozaukee and Washington counties who don't see their go-to pizzeria on this list, it's worth calling your favorite local spot to ask. Pizzerias with thicker crust styles — like Even Odds Pizza in Grafton, Tomaso's in Cedarburg (262-377-7630), or Gino's Pizza in Hartford — may be willing to accommodate a heart-shaped request with enough advance notice.

Racine County

Racine has one of the most storied pizza traditions in all of Wisconsin, and the heart-shaped game here starts with a legend.

Wells Brothers Restaurant at 2148 Mead St. in Racine has been serving pizza since 1921 — that's over a century of thin-crust tradition and counting, now in their fourth generation of family ownership. Regular customers report that Wells Brothers offers heart-shaped pizza on Valentine's Day, though it isn't widely advertised. This is the kind of insider knowledge that locals treasure. Wells Brothers scored an 8.1 on Barstool's pizza review and consistently ranks among the best thin-crust pizzerias in the state. They are open Tuesday through Saturday (closed Sunday and Monday), and reservations are strongly recommended — they require a credit card for parties of 14 or more. Call (262) 632-4408 to ask about heart-shaped availability for 2026 and to place your order. Carryout is available, but they do not deliver.

Rocky Rococo's Racine location at 6631 Washington Ave. (262-886-1984) is open seven days a week and offers their classic heart-shaped pizza in the heart-shaped box, giving Racine County families a reliable and fun option that's available without the need to pre-order days in advance.

Racine is also home to several other beloved pizzerias — DeRango's, Infusino's, and Ferraro's among them — that may accommodate heart-shaped requests with advance notice. If you have a favorite Racine pizza spot, give them a call a few days before Valentine's Day to ask.

Kenosha County

Valeo's Pizza at 5021 30th Ave. in Kenosha is the clear heart-shaped pizza champion in Kenosha County. The Spata family has owned and operated Valeo's since 1965, making it one of the longest-running family pizzerias in southeastern Wisconsin. Their 14-inch heart-shaped pizza runs $14.99 and is available on February 14 with limited quantities, so pre-ordering is strongly encouraged. In past years, the purchase has included a free Valeo's pizza cutter as a keepsake. They offer both pickup and delivery, and their menu includes a gluten-free crust option for those who need it. Call (262) 657-5191 to place your order, or (262) 657-5194 for curbside pickup. Valeo's is open Tuesday through Sunday (closed Mondays) and is known for their made-from-scratch dough and sauces, award-winning stuffed spinach pizza, and deep ties to the Kenosha community through partnerships with Slice Out Hunger and local shelter donations. Visit valeospizza.com or follow @valeospizza on Instagram for the latest Valentine's Day details.

National chains including Papa John's, Pizza Hut, and Papa Murphy's all have Kenosha County locations offering their respective heart-shaped options as well. Note that the former Rocky Rococo on Green Bay Rd. in Kenosha has permanently closed.

National chains

If you want convenience, price, and guaranteed availability without making a lot of phone calls, the national chains have turned heart-shaped pizza into a well-oiled Valentine's machine. Here's what's available across the entire six-county area in 2026.

Papa Murphy's offers the best combination of value and flexibility with their HeartBaker take-and-bake pizza at just $11 for a large cheese or pepperoni. Available from February 1 through 14 — the earliest start date of any option on this list — it gives you the widest ordering window. Upgrade to the Sweetheart of a Deal Bundle for $16 and add chocolate chip cookie dough for dessert. Papa Murphy's is the only chain on this list that accepts SNAP EBT benefits, making it the most accessible option for families on a budget. They also offer dairy-free cheese, a gluten-free crust (medium size, prepared in a shared kitchen), and even a crustless keto option on the regular menu, giving them the strongest dietary accommodation of any chain. Milwaukee-area locations include spots in Milwaukee, Waukesha, St. Francis, Oak Creek, New Berlin, Mukwonago, Sussex, Pewaukee, Oconomowoc, and Saukville. Find your nearest store at papamurphys.com.

Pizza Hut has the longest availability window, running from February 2 all the way through February 22 — great for families who want to celebrate on a day other than the 14th. Their large one-topping heart-shaped pizza on hand-tossed crust starts at $11.99 and arrives unsliced, because as they put it, "we don't break hearts, we bake them." Both delivery and carryout are available at all participating locations, and Hut Rewards members earn points on their purchase. With 10 to 15 locations across the metro, Pizza Hut is one of the most accessible options. Order at pizzahut.com.

Papa John's runs their heart-shaped promotion from February 9 through 15, with a thin-crust one-topping pizza starting at $11.99. The pizza comes unsliced and includes their signature seasoning packet and pepperoncini. Pair it with Oreo Cookie Papa Bites or a Double Chocolate Chip Brownie for a complete Valentine's meal. Papa John's has 8 to 10 locations across the metro, including several in Milwaukee proper. Order at papajohns.com.

Marco's Pizza delivers the lowest price point of any chain at $7.99 for a heart-shaped one-topping pizza, or $13.99 bundled with a brownie. The tradeoff is the shortest availability window — February 12 through 14 only — so you have just three days to grab one. Marco's has two to three Milwaukee-area locations, including 7335 W. Good Hope Rd. and 1723 S. 76th St. in Milwaukee. Note that the "Marco's World Famous Pizza" at 8411 W. Lisbon Ave. is a different, unaffiliated local restaurant and does not participate in this promotion. Order at marcos.com.

Don't sleep on the grocery store option from ALDI

For the most budget-friendly heart-shaped pizza in town, head to your nearest ALDI. Their Mama Cozzi's heart-shaped take-and-bake deli pizza is $5.99 for a cheese pie topped with a five-cheese blend of white cheddar, mozzarella, parmesan, romano, and provolone on a crispy crust. They also carry a frozen heart-shaped pizza for as little as $4.99. Both are ALDI Finds — meaning they're seasonal, limited-quantity items. Once they're gone from your local store, they're gone for the year. ALDI has dozens of locations across all six counties in the Milwaukee metro, making this the single most accessible and affordable option on the list. No pre-order is needed, but don't wait until February 14 to check your store — these tend to arrive in early February and move quickly.

Families who want to go the shipped-frozen route can also order Lou Malnati's heart-shaped deep dish through Tastes of Chicago or Amazon, with delivery in about three days. It's a premium option but a fun surprise for the deep-dish lover in your life who can't make it to one of the five local locations.

Making sure your pizza actually happens

Heart-shaped pizza is one of those things that sounds simple until you show up at 5 p.m. on Valentine's Day and discover they sold out at noon. A few practical tips will save you from disappointment.

Pre-order whenever possible. Local spots like Di Stefano's, Valeo's, Wells Brothers, and Eaton's have limited quantities and benefit from advance calls. Even chain locations can sell out on the day, especially this year with Valentine's falling on a Saturday when demand peaks.

Know your dates. Availability varies wildly. Papa Murphy's HeartBaker starts February 1. Pizza Hut runs through February 22. Jet's Pizza is February 14 only. Marco's gives you just three days. Match your plans to the window that works best.

Call your favorite local spot even if they're not on this list. Many Milwaukee-area pizzerias will shape a pie into a heart if you ask nicely and give them a day or two of notice, especially those with pan-style or thicker crusts. The worst they can say is no.

Consider the take-and-bake route for family fun. Papa Murphy's, Eaton's Fresh Pizza, and ALDI's Mama Cozzi's all let you bake at home, which turns dinner into an activity. Kids can help with prep, and the house smells incredible. It's a Valentine's Day tradition worth starting.

However you slice it — or don't, since several of these arrive uncut — heart-shaped pizza is one of the easiest ways to make Valentine's Day feel special without a reservation, a babysitter, or a massive bill. Enjoy the evening, Milwaukee.
