Dear Slice: 'Maria's Pizza in Milwaukee - It Deserves Attention'

I was in town for the afternoon, so I went right when it opened at 4 p.m. Good thing I did. There was a line waiting outside for it to open, and within seconds of the door opening, the entire place was filled. People arriving at five minutes after were told there would be an hour wait!

Maria's Pizza

Grandma Slice sent me this clipping from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel a couple weeks ago. I figured I better scan it and get it up on the site before she thinks I'm ignoring her.
