Milwaukee loves its pizza. Our neighborhoods are full of great pizza places -- all unique, rips with flavors and bursting with stories and your favorite ingredients. One Milwaukeean, Rick Rodriguez's, has eaten at all of these places. Hard work, yes, but his work has become your guide to great pizza in greater Milwaukee. Read on, and use and share his stories and, please, save a slice for us.

There are books I keep on my desk because they are not only fascinating - with every page you flip to offering some sort of interesting detail on Milwaukee history - but because they're also encyclopedic. Jim Ley's new book has now become one of them.
