Pizza Man reopened its doors at 2597 N. Downer Ave. on Friday at 3 p.m.
"It’s Finally Here!," read the Facebook post sharing the news.
"We’re excited to announce that Pizza Man Downer is reopening this weekend! Join us and experience the new look while enjoying all your favorite dishes."
It's been seven months since Pizza Man closed its doors at 2060 N. Humbolt Ave. Since that time, the restaurant has changed hands.
Public records show that Thomas Schafer and Krzysztof Zielinski of PM2 MGR LLC purchased the restaurant from Za Man LLC earlier in 2024. Later, they brought former Zarletti's Mequon Chef Miguel Mayoral in as a third partner.
The new owners have not responded to our phone call or requests for additional information.
Hours at the Downer Avenue location are Tuesday to Friday from 3 to 10 p.m., Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Lori is an avid cook whose accrual of condiments and spices is rivaled only by her cookbook collection. Her passion for the culinary industry was birthed while balancing A&W root beer mugs as a teenage carhop, fed by insatiable curiosity and fueled by the people whose stories entwine with each and every dish. She’s had the privilege of chronicling these tales via numerous media, including OnMilwaukee and in her book “Milwaukee Food.” Her work has garnered journalism awards from entities including the Milwaukee Press Club. In 2024, Lori was honored with a "Top 20 Women in Hospitality to Watch" award by the Wisconsin Restaurant Association.
When she’s not eating, photographing food, writing or recording the FoodCrush podcast, you’ll find Lori seeking out adventures with her husband Paul, traveling, cooking, reading, learning, snuggling with her cats and looking for ways to make a difference.
