My friends who grew up nearby swore it was the best pizza in the city. My parents were loyal to Pizza Man on North Avenue back then and after the fire we enjoyed Ned's. Here's a run down of my time at Hup's 1. Atmosphere The space is old school and straightforward. The parking lot is small, and the lobby is even smaller. About two people can wait comfortably at a time. Anything over two and they've become your boyfriend! There are no chairs, and orders are passed through a small opening at the bottom of a glass protected order window. No dinning in. You get your food and GO! 2. Pricing Prices are reasonable for the quality you get. Simple menu cost of pizza sizes, additional toppings, garlic bread, and cheese bread. The toppings are typical too. Nothing exotic or fancy, meat, veggies, and cheese. Oh and it's cash only. Make sure to know your total before you arrive so you're prepared. 3. Food I can't even lie, the pizza is everything people said it would be. Thin, crispy crust with good amount of toppings, cheese, and sauce. Their garlic and cheese bread are straightforward too. An Italian loaf, loaded with melted butter, and sprinkled with garlic salt and if you ordered cheese they give you a generous amount of mozzarella cheese . Just like the pizza it's simple and delicious. 4. Service I called in my order, and they said it would be ready in 20 minutes. We arrived five minutes later than that, and our pizza was waiting. The same gentleman who took my order handled checkout. He was friendly and efficient. No complaints at all. TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION: I will absolutely be back. Hup's has now become what Pizza Man was to my parents...a Friday night staple when we don't feel like cooking or dinning in somewhere. A damn good one too, if you ask me!

We were in town for a bachelorette party and needed some delivery pizza. I was pleasantly surprised…read moreto see a locally owned spot that delivered. Pietro's Pizza has been a Bay View staple since the 1970s. The founder was born in Sicily and brought the recipes for the handmade dough and sauce that they currently use from there! I called around 6PM on a Saturday and the pizza was delivered within an hour. The employee on the other end was very kind and knowledgeable. (You can only order via phone, there is no online ordering option on their website.) We stuck with no frills. A large cheese and large pepperoni, along with the garlic bread and Sicilian garlic bread. We had a party of seven ravenous ladies and we could not finish! Definitely has a lot of bang per buck. The crust was thin, it wasn't overly greasy and I did really, really enjoy the marinara. I'd recommend Pietro's Pizza if you're staying in Bay View in Milwaukee!

Because it was just a stand there wasn't much to say about the ambiance but I would be curious to go to the actual restaurant to see what it is like. The raviolis were good and I liked that there were toasted but they were nothing spectacular. The breading was nice and added a crunch to the ravioli which you don't usually get. They were not too salty or too oily like typical fried food which is was a present surprise. The sauce served with them was fresh and had a natural taste. We added red pepper flakes to give it a kick which added it. I think they would be better at the restaurant so I am curious to see!

It used to be this or that. But in this instance it hold true. Maybe too much sauce. The cracker crust wasn't as crusty/crunchy.

Okay first time here. My husband has raved about their calzones (or "rollos") over the years. I…read moretried the baked mostaccioli and it was just okay. Plenty of cheese but the flavor was just kind of meh. The meatballs were okay. The calzone is huge. It was also so greasy that it leaked on everything else. However, I was told that it is still just as good as it used to be. We saw a special for a free garlic bread and tried to use a $1 off coupon when calling it in. When picking up, we were told you can't use the coupon with the bread special. Not a big deal but maybe say that when we are placing our order. All in all, will try again but maybe just stick with pizzas or rollos.

Great pizza! Sauce is definitely on the sweeter side, but will absolutely order again!read more

Where is the zero stars button??…read more I'm new to the area, and was trying to find somewhere I could just grab a quick slice of pizza while I'm on a time crunch. Their website says they sell slices, and I called to confirm. The employee over the phone told me they do sell slices, and gave no further information. After a 10 minute drive to get there, I walk in and don't see any cheese slices. I asked how long I would have to wait, and they told me they don't carry cheese slices. The only slices they carry have pork on them. What a waste of time. I don't eat pork, and I know I'm not the only one. I've never heard of a pizza place having no option for just cheese. I get that the restaurant can choose to run their business however they want, but there should be a disclaimer that they don't carry cheese before people waste their time coming in.

I've always meant to try their pizza, decided to pull in today and see what they had for slices!…read more It's sort of like Ian's, or maybe Ian's is like them? They had maybe 8 pies ready to choose from, pick what you want and they heat them up in the oven. The slices are large and thin. 11am-5pm they have their lunch special which includes two pieces of your choice (excluding stuffed), 2 garlic knots and a fountain soda for $9.50. That's a pretty good deal, especially depending on what slices you pick. The pricing varies when you buy individually but not with the special! A perfect amount of food to share with someone you don't mind sharing a soda with. The employee I spoke to was friendly and patient as I decided what to get. The interior reminds me of college vibes, totally casual with art and written stuff on the walls. I chose to get it to go so didn't really stare too long. The pizza was pretty okay, the crust was good too. Garlic knots, eh, not my favorite but not horrible. Just more bread to eat and for me I don't want a ton of that if I'm eating a pizza that isn't thin crust. I got a side of ranch and it wasn't special, tastes like any store ranch. I'd probably go back again to try some other pizza types. They offer many options for full sized pizzas as well. But that lunch deal was pretty good!
