Editorial Review for Pizza Man – by Citysearch Staff
The Scene
Both its unassuming exterior and simple name might lead you to think Pizza Man is your run-of-the-mill pizza dive. But it's not. Gourmet Italian food and a terrific wine list make it one of Milwaukee's most beloved diamonds in the rough.
The Food
Start off with escargot, Pizza Man's most popular appetizer. Then move on to the pizza. A three-day aging process gives the crust a translucent sheen and an almost sourdough taste, perfect for the artichoke-and-cream-cheese combination or for the fresh tomato and spinach topping. Entrees at Pizza Man include wild-boar ravioli and chicken with artichokes. There is a full bar with over 300 bottles of California wines--all available by the glass or the bottle.

I'm not a native Milwaukeen. I'm staying downtown at the Hyatt Hotel. I read how great Pizza Man pizza is, so I ordered a pie delivered to my room on a Wednesday night. HUGE MISTAKE! The hotel is 8 minutes from the restaurant. (I checked on mapquest.) But I was told that delivery might take an hour. I was willing to wait, given the great reviews. After an hour I got a call from Pizza Man saying that their computer was down and they couldn't process my credit card. But they would be leaving soon with my pizza! 45 minutes after that I got a call from the driver saying he was lost. (The Hyatt Hotel is the biggest building downtown!) 45 minutes after that I called to restaurant to ask where the driver was. I had to wait 20 minutes until the manager got on the line. He then contacted the driver who said he couldn't get to the Hyatt because the Kilbourn Street Bridge was under construction. Holy moley! There are bridges every single block downtown, and I could see from my hotel room that all the others were open. The manager said he would get the driver to actually deliver the pizza. That was 30 minutes ago and I'm still waiting! So how is the pizza? Who knows! It might be good, it might be terrible, but for sure it will be cold. This place is a comedy of errors. And the pizza isn't cheap, either. A medium deep dish with three toppings is $29, plus delivery charge. Go elsewhere!
Pros: haven't seen any yet
Cons: incredibly lame service

I wasn't expecting a classy looking place by the name of the restaurant , but I was very impressed. The atmosphere is great and the service was excellent. There is an entire binder of wine lists, so you have a lot to choose between. We ordered the calamari for appetizers, and for dinner it was the lasagna and seafood pasta. All was amazing and worth the price!
Pros: Great wine selection, customer service is great
Cons: Possibly parking
