Following a mediation held on June 14, 2026,
representatives from Wild Tomato Pizza and Ooluru Pizza, formerly known as Wild Man Pizza,
reached a mutually agreeable resolution and established a positive path forward for both
businesses and their employees.
Both parties are pleased with the outcome and view the situation as a valuable learning
experience. The mediation provided an opportunity to address concerns directly, clarify each business’s position, and move forward in a respectful and constructive manner.
Both businesses recognize that social media provides an important platform for communication and freedom of expression. However, neither Wild Tomato Pizza nor Ooluru Pizza condones,supports, or encourages defamation, threats, violence, harassment, or personal attacks of any kind. Both businesses have united, collectively analyzed both positive and negative “social media comments”, and understand we as Business Owners need to lead a cause for positive and constructive discussion and comments. There is no need for negative and amplified negative, hate speech and claims of violence. We are a united Door County Community of local businesses, and will always work together to ensure a positive environment and outcome for all parties.
Wild Tomato Pizza will continue its longstanding “Wild” tradition, brand identity, and marketing
efforts. Wild Man Pizza has transitioned to the name Ooluru Pizza, which its ownership has
shared is a better reflection of the business and its future direction.
As locally owned businesses, Wild Tomato Pizza and Ooluru Pizza are grateful for the support
they have received from the Door County community. Both organizations remain committed to supporting their employees, customers, fellow business owners, and the broader local
community.
Wild Tomato Pizza and Ooluru Pizza appreciate the opportunity to move forward with mutual
respect and wish one another continued success.
