I am dying reading these comments - hilarious bc I am in the same boat. Raised in Milwaukee and still consider it my hometown - 15 yrs removed. I have never heard of Maria's bc I grew up on the westside and never went on the southside - except to hit Virginia's in highschool. THE PIZZA LOOKS AWESOME. My family does the pizza crawl (last ranking was Caldarone Club downtown, Pizza Man, Lisa's, Balisterie's, and Zaffiros - my dad's fav had a bad showing). Growing up it was Michaels on Fon du Lac and Capital with the homemade fries (still always need fries w/ my pizza) which had moved to Waukesha, but not the same. Then it was Parente's on 124th and North (still my fav that closed in 1989??). Now it is Pizza Man, because of the crust, fries and wine. Waiting for a place in Chicago to compete. IN THE MEANTIME, I AM MAKING PLANS TO GO TO MILWAUKEE TO EAT AT MARIA'S.
