Get ready for your macaroni & cheese pizza fix, West Siders; there’s an Ian’s Pizza coming to Story Hill neighborhood.

The brand revealed its new location in a post on Twitter earlier this month, noting that a third Milwaukee area Ian’s Pizza location is planned for 5300 W. Bluemound Rd., in the former home of It’z My Party Cakery.

Ian’s Pizza established its first location on the UW-Madison campus in 2001. Since that time, the brand has expanded to include additional Madison stores as well as locations in Milwaukee; Denver, Colorado and Seattle, Washington.

The Story Hill restaurant, which is slated to open June 1, is likely to offer weekday hours until 10 p.m. and bar close on Friday and Saturday evenings.
