Donut Monster and Brute Pizza are set to team up in a space at 316 N. Milwaukee St. previously occupied by Holey Moley Coffee + Doughnuts.
The two restaurants will operate out of the same space and share a kitchen, according to a license application filed by the city.
Donut Monster, expanding from its Whitefish Bay location (5169 N. Elkhart Ave.), offers a variety of specialty donuts that includes PB&J and maple bacon flavors. The Historic Third Ward location will also operate as a coffee shop and sell breakfast sandwiches, according to the license application.
Donut Monster and Brute Pizza plan to maximize one Third Ward location
Doughnuts and pizza do go together, if not at the same time: Shorewood s Donut Monster will open a location in the Third Ward to sell doughnuts, coffee and breakfast sandwiches by morning, and Brute Pizza will move from Shorewood to share the location, serving pizza for lunch and dinner.
The businesses likely will open in June at 316 N. Milwaukee St., selling from the kiosk in the Landmark Building s lobby previously home to Holey Moley Doughnuts & Coffee. Purchases mostly will be to go, though the lobby has a few seats.
Woods notes that the new brick and mortar will expand the options for the nascent pizza brand, which has in recent months catered primarily to North Shore customers in their limited delivery and pick-up area.
“It’s exciting,” he says, “It will not only give us the ability to expand the menu, but also really dial in on the consistency of the product, a luxury we haven’t had while using our Roccbox pizza oven.”
Dreibelbis agrees. “Overall, we’re looking forward to a better, more consistent product for customers. We’ll also have a much larger capacity for orders, so we won’t have to turn down customers on busy nights. And because we’ll be more centrally located, we’ll be better able to serve customers Downtown and in the surrounding area.”
