Back in the day, I pretty much had the following criteria for pizza:
1. Is it cheap?
2. Can I get a beer with that?
I'm pretty sure if I had an Angelo's pizza now, I'd be on the crapper within 20 minutes.

Guilliano's
$2.50 for 2 slices and a beer/soda
I split my afterbars time between there & Chili.
And they had the horrendous speaker system that sounded like the Peanut's teacher talking, so one could never hear their order number called.

I used to love Rocky's as a kid. Got a nostalgic slice a couple years ago hoping it would take me back. The only place it took me was the bathroom. Absolutely terrible pizza. Sauce is way too overpowering, mushy crust, and just as bad coming out as going in. How they stay in business is beyond me.

Didn't Whales on Wells serve slices? Also remember Ben torching up the original Tombstone ovens at the Ardmore.

Now a days you have the Domino's on 8th and Wisconsin, Papa Johns and the $5 large one topping pizzas on Tuesdays right next to Murphys and Sal's under the 2040s.

I'm pretty sure their frozen pizza isn't the same stuff they serve at the restaurant. But that aside, I'm particularly fond of Bernatello's Brew Pub/Lotzza Motzza lineup.

I'd put in a vote for Home Run Inn. Definitely best crust, comes out nice and crispy.
One that I used to love but no longer exists was the Palermo's Ultra Thin Greek Style pizza. It was fairly small, and with the thin crust I could eat the whole thing easily in one sitting, but it was a fantastic frozen pizza. The Kalamata Olives came out just right (amazing for frozen) and put it over the top. Unfortunately, it was discontinued a few years back.
HR Inn the best in Florida by far.

How HRI frozen pizza came to be:
Back in the olden days the restaurant (on 31st, the only one at the time), was closed on Mondays. Nick Perrino, the owner, knew his employees needed the money, so he would let them come in and make pizzas to be frozen. We used to stock up on those before they would close up for a week (or was it 2?) for summer vacation.

Interesting. Palos Heights always hosts a ton of club volleyball tournaments each season so we were always staying in hotels around there when I was playing/coaching. There was a HRI restaurant near there that we tried one time and enjoyed enough that when we saw their frozen pizza in the store we gave it a shot. Definitely the best frozen pizza I've had. I believe, but am not sure, that Gino's and HRI teamed up to make a deep dish frozen pizza? I've had a deep dish frozen that is good given that it's frozen pizza, but can't remember what brand it was.
I was down visiting my former MU roommate at his place in Chicago last summer and he had some friends from Chicago over. All of a sudden he asks me and the 2 other Milwaukee friends with me, "Have any of you ever heard of Home Run Inn Pizza?" I said yeah and he asked what I thought of it. Luckily I enjoyed it and said so (as apparently some of his friends hate it and have also said so...) and one of the girls reached into her purse and pulled out a coupon for a free frozen pizza for each of us. When I told her that my mom loves their frozen pizza she gave me another one. Turns out her parents are the owners and it's a family business. I talked to my old roommate about it more and he said they have a couple restaurants but put more interest in their frozen pizzas because they can separate themselves from the pack there but the restaurant side is pretty competitive.

Tried Home Run Inn a couple of times.. thought it was awful.
The Palermo's pepperoni flatbread pizza is tasty.
Angelo' s was terrible, but the only place there. Then came Ski's deep dish (poor man's Chi style). NY Joe's went in next to Suburpia, and was a significant step up. Wales on Wells didn't have pizza, but did a solid burger. My favorite burger was the Gym on a hungover Saturday.
Cousins, Subway, Qdoba, MU Gyros, Papa John's, Dog Haus, Broken Yolk, Sal's, Real Chili. I think that was legitimately the only food on campus when I was there. Sounds like I got the worst of the worst. Angelo's had closed, same with Ziggy's, no Sobleman's on campus yet. Don't think I'm forgetting anything but might be.

Some of the best Mexican breakfast I've had was in Dallas. Eggs and I. Huevos Rancheros.... Near Gleneagles, I believe, near Addison.
'83 to '86. Lucci's (I think on 25th or maybe 27th; don't know--never went there).
Marquette Special: $6.99 for a 14" MSO pizza, quart of pop and breadsticks.
They delivered. And they took freakin' checks. Even my checks.
Never tried it sober, but second to a chimi from Amigo's for me (Chili, of course, is in a different, unnecessary to rate class) for post-bar food. Third would be the Ham 'n' Egger.

Angelos closed after my freshman year and sobelmans opened summer going into my junior year so not sure that your list makes sense unless you were only on campus for a year. I'd also add Starbucks to that list, I know it's not unique but I spent wayyy too much money on food there my freshman year.

So I'm not going to read through most of this thread but a few points, Home Run Inn is super good frozen pizza so I approve; also if you live in Milwaukee check out the pizza at Anodyne at their Bay View location. Anodyne is a coffee place for those who don't know, and the one location in Bay View has a wood fire oven in the middle of the shop and they make pizza, it's very good and worth checking out.

Mentioned both Amigos (specifically the chimi) and Ham 'n' Egger in my post! Favorite memory of Amigos was Farley flopping his junk on some guys chips, the guy walking away disgusted, and Chris sitting down to enjoy the bounty.
Guilliano's (whatever the spelling) $2.50 for a slice and beer was heaven at 2:00 am. I don't believe I ever ate the stuff while sober.
Might have been briefly engaged at Amigo's, but it didn't work out for either of us.

I have heard the evening pie is better. Fresher, more succulent, less tang.
Having said which, there is no finer way to start off a new day than by cutting a fresh slice of pie. Well done, Chili.
Tang. The art of manliness.

What are everyone's favorite pizza places in the Milwaukee area?
Lalli's is my personal favorite, followed by Barbiere's.
Balistreri's and Zaffiro's are solid, I was a fan of Pizza Man but I think I've had it too often. Mama Mia's is okay. Cranky Al's is pretty good. Crossroads Pizza in New Berlin is good. I find Marty's to be overrated. Others?
Vinchi's pizza at the Bubbler in Bay View is great.
There's good pizza in Milwaukee?

I also occasionally enjoy Pizza Man (on Downer or the one near Mayfair), but they are A) expensive, except on Wed, when it's BOGO, and B) you get the sense they try too hard to be creative.
Not sure if I mentioned it, but the best specialty pizza I've had anywhere is whatever the Alfredo Pretzel Crust Pizza is at St. Francis Brewery. One of the best foods I've had ever. I think they market it as an appetizer, but it's freaking amazing. Pretzel crust, alfredo sauce, spinach and artichoke, it's like the best spinach and artichoke you've had times ten. Just awesome.

Meh, we just visited there again last week. Transfer is good although not my style of crust and even with extra cheese there is barely any cheese, WTF this is WI!

Yes, was going to mention their garlic bread. I had almost forgot how good Barbiere's was until work got it catered in last year. Have gone a couple times since and it is very good. Their sausage is outstanding.
Forgot to mention Tomaso's out in Cedarburg is awesome, plus that area in general is really nice.
Would have to agree with the other Lucci's fan from the 1980s.....
The little pepperoni slices were small slices of greasy goodness. My old roommate Eric could eat a whole pizza, out drink me and then wake up Saturday am and play basketball at the Rec all day long. Maybe it was the pizza....or a healthy 21 year old liver
Lallis thin crust.
Grain-free, hey?
Angelos was great. RIP
Pizza Joe's / Pizza Pi's closed down because the staff was taken over by the rugby team and more free pizza was going out the door than paid pizza.
I believe Jerry Cohen of Major Goolsby's (and other MKE haunts) owned it and just pulled the plug realizing college kids, late night and a cash business are tough combination for success.
I'm late to the party but the only way I ate Angelos Pizza was after about four pitchers of beer.
The beer killed the taste!
That stuff was awful. The Krispy Kreme of pizzas!
Pizza Man is the best in Milwaukee
Barnaby's used to be the best but closed all stores in the city. Still have some open in Illinois.

Your post surprised me. I never went to a Barnaby's in Wisconsin - maybe they were great - but, without a doubt Barnaby's in Schaumburg, Illinois is the worst pizza I've ever had in a restaurant.
I just doubled checked on the internet and saw that Barnaby's in Schaumburg is now closed. The people seem to be voting Barnaby's out. There are still four in Chicago's north/northwest suburbs, though.

Arlington Heights Barnaby's was fantastic, (I have no idea if they're still open).

FIFY.
The Des Plaines Barnaby's is still pretty good.

I've never been, but it's still there - one of four left in existence - the others are in Des Plaines, Northbrook and the original one in Niles. Founded as a chain in the sixties, the founder sold them off one by one in the seventies/eighties. Different owners must have resulted in differing quality of food leading some to close, others to have their admirers. I was quite fond of the Northbrook one when I was in high school in the seventies.
Barnaby's still has the place on Rand Road in Arlington Heights. I haven't been there in ages but I do recall it was pretty good very similar in menu and quality to another local chain known as Jake's. We frequented the one in Palatine in the late 70's when they had $1 pitcher of beer nights. Until the last time when we found cockroach remnants embedded in the cheese.

Yep Northbrook, was good. But I spend most of the time at the Villa Park ( Off Roosevelt RD at Summit) one. When you joined their club, pitchers were at a great reduce price and you received a big dark brown ceramic Barnaby's Mug. Great after Softball games.
There is a Barnabys n Indiana (Mishawaka) that is incredibly busy. Been there for years.

Is the Villa Park One still open? I can't find it on the web or Google maps.

Closed a long time ago, late Sixties might have been one of the early ones.. The building is probably gone. great times.
The first problem with a barnabys is the name. Who in the gosh darn heck would associate pizza with something named barnabys? Would you go to a place for lox n bagels named gunthers? If you're gonna serve pizza, ya gotta have the name Marios or something, hein'er hey?
Barnabys has that distinctive crust. They dust the pan in corn meal. Good toppings, decent suace, and a distinct crust.
It's not a world beater pizza, buts it's the pizza some grew up on, and it's pretty darned good and consistent. If you are are pizza snob, don't bother. If you like neighborhood pizza, it's for you.

Evidently that one has the best pizza in the world according to my in laws. Been there once... Good, not great. Dime a dozen type joint.

Yes, I always thought the name "Barnaby's" didn't evoke images of great 'za. But the atmosphere was decent, and you could get a frosty mug and a great burger there as well. "Kaiser's Pizza" in Gurnee and Kenosha is another example of an oddly named pizza joint, but the product is solid.
Since we are on odd names for pizza places, the strangest has to be QUONSET Pizza in the hometown of Warrior legend Jerome Whitehead, Waukegan, IL. There is an explanation, though. The place is a converted ARMY storage hut, aka "Quonset" hut. I think the original owner was an Army Reservist, and he bid on the original building. A couple renovations later, it is much less recognizable as a former Army munitions storage unit, but still has the arched roof. The pizza was legendary at one time. It recently changed ownership, but still rates highly as some of the best thin crust pizza in Chicagoland.
Pretty sure the best pizza is my grilled pizza made with a fresh Naan bread crust.

As a kid growing up, my parents always took the family out to eat anywhere we wanted on our birthdays. The old duck inn, Anthony's steak house, the old sterlingworth on lauderdale lake, etc. ya know where 4 out the five of us would pick? Shakeys pizza!! You could watch the dudes making your stuff behind a glass window, best chicken and mojos and pizza in the world. I think my parents loved it b/c the bill was considerably less than the others too. The organ piper pizza place was popular too, but it was a distant #2 to our shakeys

That must be a newer place. The sterlingworth was infamous for its Friday fish fries with its corn fritters and syrup. It burned down like twice. Not sure if they ever rebuilt after 2nd one. The cook(s) went to evergreen golf course and brought with them the the fish fry and fritters and if you didn't t get there early, you went hungry...bowbowbow
Had pizza at Caserta in Providence again last night. Place never disappoints. It's also just a couple of blocks away from the Dunkin Donuts Center if you are ever in town for a marquette game. And federal hill is a great neighborhood in general to check out with a bunch of great Italian restaurant options

Angelo' s was terrible, but the only place there. Then came Ski's deep dish (poor man's Chi style). NY Joe's went in next to Suburpia, and was a significant step up. Wales on Wells didn't have pizza, but did a solid burger. My favorite burger was the Gym on a hungover Saturday.
Thank you. I've been reading this thread from the top and was trying to figure out the new York style pizza by the slice - NY Joe's is it! Was pretty good as I recall, but then again......broke college student.

Definitely not new, my dads family had one of the first cabins up there in the early 70s and he tells stories of going there. It was called kileys cove till the mid 80s. Played at evergreen a couple weeks ago, love that place.
They do a nice job. Nice operation from top to bottom.
Why wasn't this thread relocated to the Super Bar months ago?
Even if pizza is your favorite pre-game or post-game meal, even if you're eating pizza at the Bradley Center while watching the game, that doesn't make it related to Marquette's recruiting, coaching, game strategy, etc.

Don't feel like reading through the whole seat selection thread, but it looks like this discussion started as a tangent in that thread and I'm assuming someone broke it off into its own thread.
Nothing on this site is worth getting outraged over. But I've seen countless other threads get relocated to the Super Bar if they're unrelated to basketball. Why not this one?

I'd suspect the reason is it's offseason.
I was just eating pizza as I read about Marquette basketball. Hence pizza is directly related to Marquette basketball. Totally warranted having this pizza thread in this forum.

Majerus liked pizza.
"The first time, [ Utah was] recruiting me, and after the game I went down to the [ Utes'] locker room," says Jeff Johnsen, who signed with Utah in 1996. "His hair's everywhere and his sweater's off and he's just drenched, and he's eating a whole pizza in front of me and he's like, 'You want any?' I grab a piece, and then he starts undressing and gets in the shower and is still talking to me. It was funny. It was weird. How many grown, fat, naked men do you see when you're a high school kid?"...
