Little Caesars Pizza
Wow my tastes have changed. When I was kid around 8-10, my mom and my friends' moms would go pick up pizza for us every weekend if we were good. They had a great little coupon in the Milwaukee Journal every Sunday, which was a buy one get one free I think. We loved the bread and the supreme combination. We even loved their mascot I have only had a pizza here once or twice as of late and it spoiled my childhood memories.
I was in a hurry and felt bad for some poor kid holding a sign on the street for the $5 Hot-N=Ready pizza. This was what my friend likes to call a Wonder Bread and ketchup pizza. It was all bread hardly any cheese barely any meat. I know what your thinking, it's $5. OK, I know, then give me a smaller pizza with better stuff on it. I gave them another chance and ordered one at regular price a week later. Still no toppings and the bread was all dried out. I have since decided I would rather get a pizza at the grocery store or gas station.
I would rate Little Caesar's Pizza 1/2 Slice out of 5

Domino's Pizza
Domino's has been pretty innovative with their offerings and technology in effort to deliver you a perfect pie at home.
So what do you get pretty good prices and an OK pie. Their appetizers are acceptable and tend to follow the country's taste. The pizza offerings also try to follow the latest trends. You know what you’re going to get no matter where you are. It seems to be What they lack in taste they make up for with efficiency. They have an assembly line of ingredients and you can watch them make a pie if you ever pick a pie up at the store. The texture of the pie leads me to believe they use mostly cryo-packed ingredients. Domino's is not on my top ten but I will have it at the company lunch if someone orders it.
If you don't know what's around and aren't very adventurous Domino's is probably for you!
They offer easy phone, mobile or Internet ordering. There always seems to be a store that will deliver anywhere you need it. You can probably click on their link on the side or the bottom of this page if you’re interested.
I would give them 2 slices out of 5

I Love Pizza
I told one of my buddies I was going to do this blog and he asked what makes you qualified to do a pizza blog? Well, if he didn't remember I can't expect you the reader to know. I love food and pizza is especially dear to me. I spent 3 months of last spring perfecting a new meatball recipe. I have spent over 20 years making pizzas. I would even call it a hobby. A friend of mine who does own a shop even lets me come in and experiment with pies for him when I get the itch. I love trying new sauces, flavor profiles and tweaking crusts.
I also have spent many years living and traveling outside of Wisconsin so I have been able to try the regional fare across the country and in Italy.
I am not a pizza snob but these are what I believe makes a great pizza; homemade dough, a sauce that is not poured directly out of a can (at least doctor it up with spices to make your own,) a signature cheese blend to give it some flavor (mozzarella alone is too bland) fresh vegetables (Although I do have a soft spot for canned mushrooms,) and fresh meats.I really have no tolerance for canned or frozen ingredients especially at a Pizza Place. I can buy a frozen pizza anywhere and there are some good ones out there now. With so many great restaurants in Milwaukee is it worth going to a place that uses frozen crusts, meats and vegetables?Anyway, I hope you like some of the places as much as I do!
