Ask a few people what their favorite pizza is and you'll likely get distinctly different answers. That's the way it should be.
Though not as densely packed in Milwaukee's metro area, mom-and-pop pizza shops are the rule for those looking for something other than a chain or large franchise.
What follows is not an exhaustive list, but includes some notable favorites, spread throughout the suburbs from Lake Michigan to Lake Country. They are all small local groups (usually with one location) with pizza in their name and dine-in amenities, usually serving pizza as a specialty. Most have been in business at the same location for more than a decade — some more than half a century.
