Roadhouse Pizza got its start in Fond du Lac and was brought to 102 Watson in Ripon in 1978 when Larry Brunett purchase the building. From 1978 through 2007 Roadhouse Pizza was run by the Brunett family. During this period Roadhouse Pizza became an iconic location in Ripon many high schoolers and college kids had there first date or went to hang out with friends and family. The menu featuring pizza and the Hoagies remained virtually unchanged during this period! In the 1980, Larry Brunett commissioned ( sort of ) Brad Fisher to paint the infamous mural that depicts gnomes, trolls and a pastoral setting. The "mural" still hangs out in the main dining room!
