Pizza Man

History

In 1970, Mike Amidzich purchased a small carry-out pizza restaurant that he soon renamed Pizza Man and set off to satisfy the munchies of Milwaukee's hippy-dippy East Side. Proud to fill the niche by offering pizza delivery service until 4 am, he also gave his unsuspecting customers a free quart of Pepsi with every order to wash down the pizza and quench the cottonmouths of his growing fan base. To Milwaukee's horror, on January 18th, 2010, Pizza Man burned to the ground in a tragic fire. In 2012, a small group of Pizza Man fanatics convinced Mike the business that had captured Milwaukeean's hearts (and stomachs) over the previous 40 years needed to be reborn and our East Side location was built. Today, Pizza Man has three locations in southeastern Wisconsin (Milwaukee, Wauwatosa, and Oak Creek), and, while Mike is no longer with us, his legacy lives on through our restaurants and in the hearts and memories of the generations of Pizza Man fanatics.
