Pasties were once a common food enjoyed by early settlers in Wisconsin’s mining country. But over the years, they became a little too rare. The pasty, a glorious savory pie, was the favorite grab and go treat of miners in the early 1800s, but you today, you just don’t see a ton of people walking around with them in their lunch pail. But don’t declare the pasty dead yet. Some Wisconsin kitchens, nonprofit fundraising groups, and local restaurants are keeping the tradition alive and one Sheboygan restaurant recently joined the pasty scene with some wonderful savory and sweet offerings. Discover what the locals already know – the Sheboygan Pasty Company has some of the best pasties in Wisconsin.

The Sheboygan Pasty Company was founded during the pandemic as a way to boost sales at Ranieri’s Four of a Kind Bar & Grill. The idea took off.

Pasties are now available at a service window in the bar and they can be ordered off the menu too. Frozen pasties are available if you would like to enjoy some later.
