   Pizza Man is a favorite of ours and only having one night back home in Milwaukee meant this was a must. Their pizza is simply the best--great sauce, light, crispy crust, and delicious toppings. And their wine choices are excellent. We still miss the original location but the new one is beautifully decorated.

   Great food, great place! We'll be back! They just need to figure out how to pace the food a little better! Every time we are there everything comes all at once (appetizers and pizza/entrees).

   Pizza Man is awesome. Their pizza and salads are delicious. I rated ambience a 4 because the website said the outdoor seating available on a first come basis. However we were told in arrival that it is only open on the weekends.😔

   PizzaMan is one of our favorite spots, but it was a bit off the mark last night. We ordered a signature pizza (The Victory) and requested an added ingredient (Mozzarella), but the Mozzarella was not on the pizza when it arrived to the table after a long wait. We decided not to send it back, since our wait had been uncharacteristically long; the pizza was delicious nonetheless and, as always, the crust is fantastic. The prices have crept up which may get us to reconsider and go to a more value priced pizzeria. Also, the draft beer selection has shrunk and several of our favorite IPAs have gone away with less-preferred options in their stead.

   My usual drink was no longer on the menu and the server was kind enough to request that the bartender make me something similar. The food was great as always and the staff were all very attentive.

   They didn’t have the wine we wanted and one entree after both were ordered and some time had passed. The pizza was so greasy and took forever to come out. The staff apologized, but it felt like they should have comped us something. Not a good experience and I have eaten here many times before.

    Our food (a Pizza Man Special and a Ceasar Salad) were both excellent. We asked for the pizza to be cooked five minutes longer than normal to get just a hint of black on the edges. It was done perfectly. We had a nice bottle of wine but it was our second choice. They were out of the first choice. And, overall, the wine selection is pedestrian compared to the Pizza Man of a couple years ago. That's unfortunate as it was the fine wine that kept us coming back. Now we don't stop as often.

    Wonderful wait staff and hostess. A little loud. Pizza was excellent. Eggplant good - a little too much breading. Had to send the calamari back to be cooked through.

    We have been enjoying Pizza Man for over 50 years. Even under the new management for the past several years, the location on Downer is our favorite. We have tried the Wauwatosa location but find it lacking in quality and service. Last night we had fried eggplant, caesar salad, fettucine alfredo and two pizzas. Our server Sharif (spelling?) was very nice and attentive. The food was excellent...everything was perfect. The salad was cold and perfectly dressed. The eggplant fries were piping hot, crunchy and perfectly done. Our pizzas were also delicious and hot from the oven. I love the thin crust and the sausage is one of my favorites in the area. The fettucine alfredo was perfectly done...just a bit al dente, creamy and hot. Sometimes this dish can be tricky because if it sits at all it gets gummy and thick. We ordered Tiramisu and cannoli for dessert. Again, both were delicious. Cannoli can get soggy or soft sometimes, but ours were perfectly crisp and the filling was delicious. Tiramisu is almost always great here. The only thing I would like improved is the availability of wines. Everytime we go to Pizza Man it seems they are "out" of the wine we select. Maybe a bit more attention could be paid to the wine stock. Thanks for a great night Pizza Man!!

    Our deep fried eggplant appetizer tasted good, but was not hot and not very crispy. My Pizza Man Special small pizza's crust was soggy and the pizza was not piping hot indicating that it may have been sitting for awhile before being served.

    We made reservations for a large group, which I understand presented some difficulty for the Pizza Man staff. Regardless, they were able to accommodate us with excellent service, salad, pizza and wine. Thank you!

    Usually I love this place. Today was very slow but the service wasn't as good as it usually is. Earl is a great waiter, but the food took a long time to come out. The pizza was a little overcooked on the crust, and the cheese curds were super greasy.

    This used to be our favorite pizza place. However, in the last two visits the pizza crust tasted liked burnt cardboard and the serve has taken a step backwards. It's a shame.

    Nice spot but the food was bad. Possibly the worst pizza I've had, ingredients tasted like they were frozen or out of a can. Bummer, Pizza Man used to be SO good back in the day.

    The food was very good. I feel our server was new, as she wasn't very knowledgeable about a few very basic things. When I asked for the special by the name, she didn't know what I was talking about. The service was quick and it was accurate. Would go back and highly recommend.

    Pizza Man ended all discounts on Wednesdays without notifying regular customers. They initially stopped BOBO free, now they ended 20% off on Wednesdays, and no longer participate in "The Small Business" discount. No reason to dine at Pizza man especially since last year they fired their regular employees because they complained about leaking pipes in the kitchen. Shame on Pizza Man on Downer!

    Overall experience was very good. Our waiter, Johnny, was great. The only issue was the pace of food from the kitchen. We were a table of two, but we were there for about 2.5 hours. We weren’t in a hurry, so we didn’t mind. But, it was slow. Food, ambiance and waitstaff service were very good.

    Service was inattentive despite an empty restaurant. Pizzas were cold which was completely bizarre, and one of the pizzas was missing an ingredient. Really just not a good night for them.

    Appetizer and entrees came out cold and the wine was warm. Now I know why it was dead for a Friday night. Bad food and service. Never again.
