Súper bummed about the pizza. I waited an hour thinking I was getting a good local NY slice pizza. The pizza was extremely light on toppings. All sauce and very light on toppings and cheese. Bummed read more

I should be ashamed that it's taken me this long to review Classic Slice. This is my pizza place of choice, hands down. I was fickle when I was new to town, searching out a pizza joint to call my own. But once I tried Classic Slice, the search was over. I can honestly say I have not ordered pizza from anywhere else since. I know that everyone thinks their preferred specialty slice is the best one out there, but unless their favorite is also Top Gun, they are wrong. Top Gun is the best slice of pizza in the world. Mashed potatoes, delicious fresh bacon (none of that bacon bit BS), scallions, goat cheese...this is a piece of pizza that will turn your world from black and white into beautiful, blazing technicolor. Putting Top Gun aside for a moment, Classic Slice is a pretty great place all around. There's a wide variety of specialty slices, it's veg*n friendly, there's sweet treats and delicious libations to go along with the 'za. If you sit by the window, you can peer into the kitchen and watch the pizza maestros toss insanely huge circles of dough into the air like it's nothing. This is a good place. You should go. read more

Sure the giant slices are Instagram worthy but the taste is just of your average pizza slice. Plus the wait time, was long. It was a Tuesday night, after dinner rush, and my table waited at least 20 minutes for slices. The price fits the size of the slice but felt pricey as I was paying. I couldn't believe I was spending that much on just slices. The only thing I can say about the taste is that it tasted like pizza. Nothing memorable good or bad about the taste. read more

I don't understand Classic Slice. A pizza place that sells individual slices, yet doesn't have a counter area displaying the pizza slices you can order, is just really weak. You know what I mean right? You walk in, the pizzas are all laid out for you to see, and you pick which ones you want to have reheated. If it didn't promote itself as a slice place right in the name, I might give them the pass, but I probably still wouldn't. Furthermore, the pizza is mediocre at best, delivery takes too long, and I'm not crazy about the service. The crust stinks, the sauce isn't that good, and the sausage...terrible. I came here a second time only because I had a $20 gift card, but after another poor showing, I won't be back. Question for management: when I live literally a 3 minute drive away, how is pickup 30 minutes, but delivery an hour. Again...very weak. read more

What's not to love about Classic Slice? Huge pizza slices? Check. Amazing, fresh toppings? Check. PLUS, you can customize a slice to be whatever you want it to be -- the world is your oyster(pizza). AND, you can get fantastic gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian, or meat-on-meat-on-meat pizzas. Everyone of every conceivable diet will leave Classic Slice a happy pizza consumer. And I suppose that at this juncture I should also mention that they have cute little desserts (a tiny birthday cake, for example), great service, and also the best selection of soda I've seen in a long time (butterscotch root beer for the win, honorable mention to grape soda). OH. And you MUST try the avocado salad when you stop in. It's in my top three favorite salads -- it comes with avocado, pistachios, edamame, arugula, one of the best dressings you'll ever taste, and other fun stuff. TRY IT! You won't be sorry. read more

Great tasting pizza but not worth the 30+ min wait for one slice. Plan on it taking forever.....

Trifecta city. Absolutely adorable, affordable, and delicious. Their vegan cheese and upton's seiten with broccoli in a personal (and massive) calzone is enough to satisfy two to the ends of the earth! If I lived in Milwaukee, I'd have pizza parties here and then go roller skating (in that big roller skate- you know!) afterwards, for my bday. Yeah I would, and you'd be invited. read more

My first impression when I initially walked into Classic Slice for the first time.......what a rip off! Thought paying over $5 for a stinkin' slice of sausage or pepperoni pizza was absurd! Was I absolutely shocked when this mammoth sized triangle topped with a generous amount of sausage and cheese was presented to me. In any case, I've been pretty damn impressed by Classic Slice. And I dare you all to try and eat the slice like a "traditional" slice of pizza without making a royal mess. This is definitely a fork/knife type of slice. Topping wise, you can choose whatever your tummy desires. The offer pretty much any mainstream topping, including the new addition of sardines. The crust here is pretty great as well, as I'm yet to have a soggy slice despite the nice amount of sauce they top the pizzas with. Whatever your taste in pizza, you can find something at Classic Slice. The joint is Gluten-free friendly, as well friendly for all the vegans out there. In addition to pizza, you can get the "notoriously b.i.g." calzone, salads, and sweets (currently pumpkin pie and cupcakes) at Classic Slice. Everything is made in-house, so that adds to the awesomeness of the place. read more

I've been thinking about it and for me (at the time of this writing) Classic Slice is the best pizza in the Milwaukee area. Let me explain why. They cover all the bases in terms of options: Vegan, gluten free, regular it really seems like they have their bases covered. The price may throw you at first as a slice is $7. My mind interjects that there is cheaper by the slice pizza elsewhere. But is it of this quality? Absolutely not. You create your own slice and it is made to order. It isn't sitting behind glass for hours on end waiting to be reheated. I was pleased with the quality of the toppings as well. The slice itself is beyond what i would call large. I actually put my arm up to it to get an idea. I am talking elbow to a pinky knuckle. I don't have the exact dimensions but this is a mondo slice. There is a bevy of options to keep you mixing it up. The fact that i used the word dimensions when talking about a slice should give you an idea ;) Not a slice kind of guy? They have full pies of various sizes. 12, 16 and 20 are available in store or to go. Evidently they have a 26 (In store only)? What's that about? I must know. There are other options that sounded good as well. The seating situation is pretty good. I do like the interior layout of this place. They also have a retro X-Men arcade. Come on that's awesome!! The crust was perfect. The color under the slice was a nice variety of shades of golden brown to dark brown. It was extremely thin, crunchy and held it's own for the most part under the weight of chicken, bacon, onion, cheese and sauce. The sauce is something I am looking for. Some joints go thin on the sauce. Not here it was there in each bite complimenting the flavors as I plowed through this oversized monstrosity. The overall flavor on the sauce was delicate. I'll need to pay more attention next time but it came across as natural, almost mildly sweet and not too acidic. Where as Times Square gave me instant heart burn. I do bounce around a bit but I will most definitely be back here. No question about that. Another great addition to the Bayview area. read more

What can I say? One of my favorite pizza places in Milwaukee, and I'm a guy who loves pizza! Huge slices, lots of crazy variety, specialty slices, and plan slices if you're boring. Vegetarian and vegan options as well. They've got Dang! Root Beer on tap, and delicious cookies. Plenty of parking in the lot across the street and street parking as well. They also make great full pies for carryout, though they slice those into squares. ;) read more

Best large slice pizza I've had. So good. Girl behind counter not very friendly at all. I felt like my spouse and I were inconveniencing her when I asked for Parmesan or hot pepper flakes. Pizza was so good. I'll overlook the bad service and chalk it up to Covid. I've been craving it since our last visit. Can't wait to go back. read more

The Satyricon. Satirycon. Jean Paul Sartre-con. However you spell/say it, it's G-D delicious. (Why do I do this to myself? I decide to go paleo-ish on Monday for real this time and proceed to write a review for one of my favorite particular pies on Thursday? Seriously, Rachel.) So Classic Slice: Bay View cool kid in the corner on the corner of KK and some weird little side street, it's meat-tastic and vegan friendly in one fell swoop. It's pizza, calzones, salads, and to-go-ish desserts in the form of cookies and brownies, etc. It's hipster-y cute and chill and the pizza's good. The slices are huge. HUGE. When I lived in Walker's Point, L and I would order the Jean Paul Sartre-con on the regular, delivery-style. The drivers were always nice and the pizza was always kick-ass, because feta + sausage + peppers = the business. Veggie and vegan friendly options like the Super Veggie and Anne Curry stand out for those non-meat-a-vores, and they're delicious even if you are a meat-a-vore. (See Shane H's review.) That said, if you're going primal carnal T-Rex style, the Meatallica's got your name on it. And the Satire-I-Can. Satyricahn. James Caan. I don't know. I just know I really freaking like that pizza. Fell out. read more

Whenever I show up at Classic Slice, I have low expectations. I look at the menu and see that I'll be paying over $5 for a single slice of pizza. The cashier never looks like they want to be there. It takes too long to get my food. But then it happens. I remember why I come here. I see my slice. It is not really a slice. It's more like an entire pizza shaped like a triangle. It's bigger than my face. It's almost as big as my thigh. I shouldn't eat this much pizza, but I do. I am currently salivating. The location is convenient--right off KK and close to Frank's Power Plant. There are places to get cheaper pizza. There are places to get better pizza. However, I've never had a slice this big anywhere else (even NYC). Worth a stop fo sho. read more

Haven't found a place that can match Classic Slice. Best pizza in the city. This is probably the best pizza I've had outside of New York City. Actually, it might even equal it. The ingredients are as fresh as can be and the crust is great with a nice crunch. Yes it's a little pricey, but the portions kind of make up for it. The pizza-by-the-slice slices are enormous. Like someone else mentioned, "as big as your head". My Fave item to get is the "Satyricon". I love the feta and mozzarella that they put on it (Yum). They also offer many different combinations of toppings and cheeses to please any pallet. The location is a little hard to find with it being tucked behind a fitness club or whatever is there, but nonetheless the shop is rather large and I've always found it to very clean inside. Get to Bay View. Like now. You need to try this. read more

Classic Slice is very much still here and still amazing. Now that my family is back in Milwaukee, I decided to introduce my husband (and my 18-month old) to Classic Slice. He ordered a philly cheesesteak, which I thought was sort of wrong, but he orders that anywhere he can. It was actually quite tasty, if not authentic, but this is Milwaukee so whatever! The slice of weekly special pizza I had there after they opened in 2007 is now named Shipee Ahoy, and has long been a regular menu staple. Let me just say, if you aren't a vegan you must try this! Now! Really! It's so good it's wrong. Pesto and tomato sauce and their fab sausage and basil, lots of basil. Yum. Even my son eats this, and he's well into his picky eating phase. The Ann Curry is delicious too, for vegans and others. read more

Classic slice is a really cool pizza joint. The ambiance and the decor makes you feel like your in the heart of Bay View. The diverse patronage that they serve just tells you how good this pie truly is. The food prices are comparable to other pie places. read more

This place is incredible! The mix and matching you can do to create your favorite slice is awesome, so many choices! The slice is literally the size of your head and only about $7-9 depending on how many topping you get. I will be coming back for sure! read more

Classic Slice - Heaven: basil, roasted red pepper, onions, pepperoni, and oregano. - Pizza Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

I was a supporter of classic slice when they first opened. I had gotten accustomed to their extended wait times, and their lackluster service. The sausage is always too crumbly, the sauce relatively bland, and never as good as I think it will be. Nevertheless, I would return because it is the only bay view pizza option other than committing battery on my stomach with topperstix. But after waiting approximately 40 min for one slice of pizza on a Wednesday night at 9:45? I'm not going back. I spoke up after receiving my food, just to make sure the lazy hipsters didn't spit in it. I asked if its normal to wait over half an hour for a slice. He said yeah, they make the orders in the order they come. What, one at a fucking time?? You have four ovens. I saw one slice or pizza come out every five minutes. Either they don't understand how shapes work, or the laws of thermophysics and baking don't apply in the kitchen of Classic Slice. The staff could have lessened the blow by simply informing us when we ordered that it would take the better part of an hour before we would leave with our takeout. Instead, the girl taking orders was completely uninterested in her surroundings, and the kitchen moves like molasses. I gave you the benefit of the doubt enough times. I could have taken the bus to Ian's on North and gotten a better slice in less time than it took Classic Slice to make one piece of pizza. Knowing that Ian's delivers to BV, I have no reason to patronize Classic Slice ever again. read more

Sometimes I feel kinda "meh" about writing reviews for restaurants that already have 100+ reviews, but this time I can't stay quiet. This place is ridiculous. Let me start by saying, if you're afraid of commitment, this place may not be for you. When you get a slice of pizza, it's the size of a regular Tombstone pizza, just in a wedge shape. Eating a whole slice takes commitment. It takes determination. It takes grit. Ask yourself if you're up for that kind of challenge. Whether you show up solo, put on your game face and dominate a slice by yourself like I did, or you bring a friend, split a slice and have some cannoli to top it all off, you just need to get here and eat some friggin pizza. Today was my first visit as I happened to finish work early in Bay View, and I had the slice of the week, which consisted of spinach, garlic, fresh mozz, and capocollo, which is like a spicy Italian pork belly/bacony sort of meat. And it was one of the best slices of anything I've ever eaten. Took me about 20 minutes just to eat it (seriously, its huge) and it was 20 minutes of heaven, washed down with a High Life. The atmosphere is nothing crazy or pretentious, just some cream city brick, skateboard decks on the wall, chalkboard menus and some sweet retro video games (X-Men, Tempest and Ms. Pac-Man if you're wondering). There is a long communal table in the center of the restaurant with chairs that look like they were stolen from your high school back in 1999. The kind where you could push against the desk and crack your spine (who needs a chiropractor anyway?) The point is, get here, eat here, and thank me later. read more

I like classic slice because it is cheap. The pizza types that they have are either hit or miss. I enjoy the pizza that they serve with the alfredo sauce the best. I am not a very big fan of the red sauce here. The kids like it because you can get them a lunch special for around 5.00 and the pizza is bigger then their heads so it gives that wow factor...mom can we come back again? read more

Classic Slice - Half Popeye and half Top Gun. Popeye is the best - Pizza Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Vegan slices and a new vegan pesto option! Vegan night Thursdays w free cheez breadstix. They deliver to my house! Slices are as big as your head! They are open late! Shakers of nooch! (aka nutritional yeast aka the vegan parm). Vegan cupcakes too! (I swear I already reviewed this place.) Yeah, this is a great place to have in my 'hood. Thin crust pizza with lots of veggie (and meat) topping options. A whole slew of specialty pies or make your own. Lately I've been popping in for just a slice to go. I'm a hearty eater and one slice will fill me up! With vegan cheez and a couple toppings it will run you ~$7 but that's not bad for a whole meal. The large pizzas are ridiculously gigantic and will be at least two meals a piece for me and my BF. They use Follow your heart vegan soy cheez if you're curious about that sort of thing. Other options are salads, sandwiches and calzones. I wasn't impressed with the vegan version, as it had no ricotta replacement. Just go for the pizza! read more

NY style pizza in Bayview. I liked the place for everything from the comfortable similarity to pizza places I used to hit up back in NY to the ridiculously huge slices the serve. The pizza isn't perfect, but hey, we're 870 miles from Brooklyn. It's done in the right mindset, though: thinner crust (but not cracker thin) and built up outer ring, complete foldability (a must for any pizza not from Chicago), and the presence of cheese grease on top. Cheese grease is important. I used to love watching tourists back home trying to eat pizza on their feet, especially while walking. They'd lift it and fold it, then take a bite by bringing the point of the slice to their mouth. This would invariably lower the crust end and the grease would run down and end up dripping down their hands and sometimes clothes. I'm a little mean, so this would always amuse me. I had the opportunity to watch this happen twice on my last visit. Anyway....flavor is good, service is exactly what you'd expect for this style, and the pricing:portion ratio is awesome. Eat here. and, as a tip, take one of the little napkins and fold/crumble it to hold in the hand holding the base of the folded slice. it'll catch the grease and save you a shirt. read more

D.O.N.E. I've gone vegan and was super stoked to try the offerings Classic Slice has but after my order last night I won't be returning to Classic. Possibly ever. 1st problem, they can't tell time. We ordered 2 slices, they say 25 min. My boyfriend arrives about half an hour later. They say, "Oh. I guess we forgot to start that." Uh. What? I ask my boyfriend,upon his return home, if they offered a discount or a free salad, or anything to try and rectify the situation which they hadn't. Had I been with him I would have told them to shove my order where the sun don't shine. 2nd problem. My vegan pizza was fucking awful. Now I've had AMAZING vegan pizza before so I know it exists, but it did not exist here. The pieces of broccoli on my slice were fucking huge and not tender. The vegan "sausage"? I'm pretty sure it was crumbled cardboard. It was the first time I think in existence that I didn't want to finish a slice of pizza. I know good vegan food, and pizza specifically, but I did not find it here at Classic. Also the service SUCKS. read more

Chicago, New York, blah blah blah. Classic Slice rules. Pizza is all about the right balance, and they've nailed it. If I could eat this pizza every day for the rest of my life without ballooning into a 700-lb cheese monster, I would. The ingredients are so fresh, the crust is perfect, everything basically blows your mind. I would elect a piece of this pizza to be President of the United States. read more

I don't think I can rave enough about Classic Slice. As an occasional visitor to the East Coast, I love New York style pizza. When someone compares local pizza to New York slices, I'm usually wary but up to the challenge. I have to say, this is the closest I've tasted to a New York slice west of Pennsylvania. Today's adventure had the wife and the baby with me to try the pizza. I've been had plenty sausage lunch specials here, but my wife was a first timer, and since she doesn't eat much meat, the veggie options lured her in. Since she was making her own with feta cheese, broccoli and spinach, I decided to go out of my comfort zone and get the Green Hawaiian (Bacon, Pineapple and Green Peppers). I definitely made the right choice. Quality bacon, not that bacon bits style crap you get at other pizza joints, it's thick cuts of juicy bacon. The pineapple and green peppers were cut large, and were fresh. My wife enjoyed her slice as well and we decided to follow up with dessert. Two cannoli's, prepared right there, and dare I say they were better than a few of the Italian bakeries in the area. This is my pizza place in Milwaukee. PROS Awesome slices that are literally bigger than your head. Great treats. Fast service. A 1992 X-Men arcade machine. Can't beat that. CONS This place might as well be called the Pizza Safehouse. This was my sixth time here today, and I drove past it twice again! Remember, it's behind the Landmark credit union, right off of California. The tip jar asking me what's better, French toast or Samuel L. Jackson. How am I supposed to make a decision like that? If you haven't been here, leave now and get a slice. If they're not open, do yourself a favor and be the first customer tomorrow. read more

Walked in and none of the customers sitting down are being forced to wear masks ... and the gal behind the counter won't even take our order without us wearing one. Put her hands all over them and tried shoving them in our face. Hard no, we will just take our business elsewhere. End the craziness! read more

While Classic slice is definitely my favorite place to get pizza in Milwaukee, I have a pretty big problem with waiting an eternity to get a single slice. The slices are huge and are always scrumptious, but they ALWAYS seem to take forever. I was here yesterday with some friends and we truly got a sense for a CLASSIC slice after waiting over 45 minutes for our pizza (there were a total of 5 of us in our group, and maybe 7-8 other customers eating/ordering). Every time I go to Classic Slice I encounter this same problem, if only they could make the pizza faster I would definitely come here more often. PS If you haven't tried the Mil Mac and Cheese, do your self a favor and try it. It changed my life. So yummy. read more

Things I wish I had known before going to Classic Slice: 1. A slice of pizza starts at $5 and goes up from there. 2. It takes a really long time just to get a slice of pizza, even though their name implies (to me) that slices are their specialty. 3. The pizza is sub par. The story: I started off ordering two slices of pizza. The cashier gave me my total: $15.30! I could have gotten a whole pizza for that! After almost dying from surprise, I started over, and got a simple slice of cheese pizza. Easy, right? It was $5.09 after tax. The cashier assured me the slices are big, so I ponied up the cash and stepped aside to wait. It took at least 25 minutes. I lost track of time after a while. I actually got back in line to tell them to forget it, but by the time I was about halfway to the counter, my order came up, so I took it and hit the road. At this point, the pizza could have still saved this review. If the slice turned out to be worth the wait and worth the cash, I'd have given more stars, because it would have redeemed all of my prior frustration. Unfortunately, it was greasy, soggy, and bland. It was the exclamation point on a frustrating experience. There's plenty of other pizza fish in the sea of Bay View, and I don't think Classic Slice and I have a future together. read more

How the eff have I not reviewed classic slice until now? Mea culpa classic slice. This place. Crazy delicious.. And they have absolutely NAILED the gluten free crust. It's the best I've ever had. Major kudos. I've had the regular crust pizza too. Off the charts good. Slice of the week...always a solid choice. Vegetarian, vegan, carnevor or gluten free choices abound. Whatever route you want, this place can deal. They are also super chill and mellow. They deliver too! Bonus. Did I mention they have BUTTERSCOTCH ROOT BEER... This is going to be the end of me...seriously. It's really really really good. Super reasonable prices and tasty as EFF pizza. Go here. You're welcome. read more

I love that they have vegan pizza (soy cheese and vegan sausage available)! I usually order a 9" Mediterranean no cheese and add pineapple and artichokes to it. Then sprinkle on some crushed red pepper, a few dabs of hot sauce, a dusting of garlic powder, and some nutritional yeast (OMG they have nutritional yeast, YAY!!!); eat half, take the rest home for cold pizza later. They have Izzy (sp? Izzie) soda, which I have once in a great while when I want soda but not corn syrup. It's really nice that you can see them make the pizza in back, and while I don't play electronic games they have some old school Simpsons or Pac Man for those interested in it. My husband and inlaws like the place as well, my father in law really likes the Satyricon Sausage pizza with black olives and can get a beer to go with it if he feels up to one. Mother in law usually gets a cheese slice, or a little something thrown on that, with a bottle of Sprecher root beer. Husband tries different stuff quite often, usually liking what his father or I order. If you buy a slice the slices are huge. They also have gigantic pizzas if that's what you're looking for. You can get healthy pizza, cardiac arrest style, or anything in between. There are a large variety of toppings to pick from, including some unusual ones like mac and cheese or bacon. They do deliver and they have good delivery service. I am a repeat patron of this place and highly recommend it. Oh, and if you bring the wee ones bring a camera. Seeing your munchkin eating a slice of pizza bigger then their head is so much fun! ;) read more

I'm an equal opportunity pizza eater...whether a $3 frozen pizza or a more upscale pizza joint-it's all good to me. However-Classic Slice sticks out for a few reasons: A. Lots of options for a variety of diets: gluten free, vegan, vegetarian, all of the above. B. Arcade games. A nostalgic or CLASSIC (see what I did there...) way to kill some time while waiting. C. HUGE slices when you get it by the slice. I got one slice of the Hawaiian-the one slice filled me up easy! D. The pizza was great-plenty of toppings, crust that was a fine balance between thick/thin, tasty sauce-and if you get a veggie piece-they really pile of the veggies! It takes a few minutes to get a slice, but it's worth it! read more

I highly recommend this place to everyone... read more

This is the kind of pizza dreams are made of - the New York style crust, cooked within a second of being burned in the oven, leaving a crust that has just the smallest tinge of black around the edges. I literally cannot think of one thing this place does wrong. It's simple, here's what you do: -Order slice -Receive slice -Take bite -Spit bite out because it's too f'n hot -Blow on it a little bit -Proceed to devour the entire slice within the span of three minutes It's the big kind of slice - the kind you of which you can order one and call it good for lunch. They make other things in their spare time, too - I noticed a pumpkin pie on the wall which I'm sure was very good, but despite only being around since 2007 and despite referring to it as " 'za" in official materials, Classic Slice is wonderful, wonderful pizza in a world when there are many mediocre pies to be had. read more

For a pizza-by-the-slice place, this place kicks it outta da park! First off, I love that you actually get a slice of zah big enough to completely satisfy a hungry meal. I mean, this thing is HUGE. They can't even serve it on a plate-- it goes on its own pizza tray. Usually I need at least 2 slices of "oversized" pizza to be satisfied, and this place had me full in 3/4 of a slice. I got the veggie lovers pizza, and my boyfriend got the special of the week. I don't remember the name of the special, but my goodness gracious was it a slice of savory deliciousness. I think this is the kind of place that if the special at all appeals to you, go for it!! My veggie pizza was delicious- covered in at least 2 servings of FRESH vegetables (spinach, mushrooms, broccoli) along with vegan sausage on top, which was way better than I expected. You can get beer in here, and sit on own of the comfy picnic benches outside. It was great experience and I can't wait to regular this place. read more

I been here twice. On the first visit the the size of the pizza was amazing and for thin and chewy crust, I think there is none better. Good flavor and the service was fun and friendly. THEN came the second visit. My wife requested her usual no-tomato sauce due to allergies. This caused a huge problem for the crew and they had a fit. When the oversized pizza was ready my wife inquired about the price "Any pizza can be made "huge sized for $x.xx". The staff girl said, "No, not any pizza, that only applies to plain cheese." That was when we were lucky enough to get her attention. When the pizza was delivered, no longer over-sized - but cut up into quarters to fit into to-go boxes, the staff opened up one box and showed my wife how the pizza was burned clear through top to bottom due to her request to eliminate sauce and made sure to let her know it was all our fault for such a stupid request. If I ever returned it would be to see if they are still in business. Without staff changes, the odds are slim. read more

If I could give Classic Slice 20 stars, I would. Being from New York, where the best pizza in the country is, I wouldn't even consider eating pizza anywhere in Milwaukee other than Classic Slice. Each slice is as big as your head and they have a ton of delicious specialty pizzas. Really high quality and worth every penny! read more

The kind of pizza place where you can get a weird pizza and it's okay. White sauce, pesto sauce? No problem, it'll be good. Quality ingredients. Pizzas are good in slices or whole. Slices are massive. Look at the diagram that explains the size on the wall. Yup, that big. Slices are made to order, so they take a long time. Only place I've ever called ahead to order a couple slices. Whole business space is shaped like a slice of pizza. Pretty cool, eh? Old school videogames at the front. Nice touch. Good microbrew selection. Calzones aren't ordered very often, but I've had quite a few and they're good, too. Massive, doughy, tasty. Free wifi, but no outlets around whatsever. Limited outdoor seating in summer. read more

Classic Slice - The exterior. - Pizza Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

This is the first time I've ever got a slice of pizza and thought, there's no way I'm going to finish this, mama mia! Which was outstanding for someone who eats her pizza by the slice more often than ordering a whole pizza.... To leave full and satisfied and have a snack for later, I felt my $7 was reasonably spent. The only part of my experience at Classic Slice that could have been better was the wait. I waited 30 min for a single slice of pizza, not a time period I would be okay with every time I come in. There was a party occupying the mighty long table in the middle of the restaurant when I came in. Ethical or not, the part of me that's worked in a restaurant before sympathizes a bit with having such a large party at the already busiest time on a Saturday evening and will regard this experience as an exception for now. It's just hard to complain when the pizza was of the most delicious I've had in Milwaukee. I dined on Metallica (pepperoni, Italian sausage, bacon, meatballs), a meat lover's dream. The toppings were generous and well distributed on the slice. At first sight, it looked overwhelming, even dangerous after a few beers, but it tasted and digested splendidly. The not too thin, tasty thin crust and intriguing menu will make me come back soon. The atmosphere and service were also top notch. Funny to say, I came by myself and had a fun time. The large table in the middle allows you to sit with people you wouldn't otherwise talk to and can accommodate a huge party, while the smaller tables and strip of seats along the wall is nice for everyone else. The place looks very causal but far from a dive. Great family atmosphere, great pizza for all kinds of diets and tastes! read more
