Maria's Pizza makes grand reopening in Milwaukee

On Valentine's Day, Milwaukee staple Maria's Pizza finally made its grand reopening.

"It smells like Maria's Pizza, it still smells the same!" said customer Patricia Wiese.

Patricia Wiese says the very first slice of pizza she ever ate back in 1957 came from Maria's and she couldn't wait to enjoy it again.

"We're going in, even if we have to wait five hours, we're getting our pizza from Maria's!" said Wiese.

That's exactly what Jennifer Francis wants to hear.

She and her husband Brian bought the restaurant late last year, once they learned that the south side staple still hadn't been scooped up nearly two years after closing.


"When we started to talk to Maria, we realized how much that she was holding out for someone who could take care of the business and carry it on and here we were to do that," said Francis.
