Remember when Milwaukee pizza stalwart Pizza Man left its 10-year Downer Avenue home in March 2023? Remember when it then moved to the former Stubby’s Gastrogrub space on Humboldt Avenue/Boulevard? Remember when that location closed after only one year? Remember when it was then revealed that Pizza Man was coming back to its old location on Downer Avenue? Weird!
Anyway, Pizza Man’s “back-to-Downer” story is nearly complete. According to signs posted on the business’ windows, a grand opening is set for Friday, September 27. That’s tomorrow!
“Our remodeled space is almost ready, and we can’t wait to show you what’s in store!” reads a social media post from three days ago. “Stay tuned for a sneak peek of the new Pizza Man Downer look—it’s going to be better than ever!”
So there you go! Pizza Man is opening on Downer! Again! Under new ownership, apparently, so, um, let’s hope it lasts more than a year? (Pizza Man’s Wauwatosa location remains open.)
Pizza Man originally opened on Downer Avenue in 2013. Its original original Milwaukee location, located on North Avenue and opened in 1970, was destroyed in a fire in 2010. (R.I.P. Grecian Delight and Cush, which were destroyed, too.)
And oh yeah: ARGUE ABOUT PIZZA MAN IN THE COMMENTS!
