Milwaukee-style pizza is a thin, crispy cracker-crust pie cut into squares rather than triangles, often topped lightly with cheese, sausage and house-made.

Milwaukee-style pizza traces to the city's Italian-American population in the 1950s and 1960s, when Brady Street pizzerias began baking cracker-thin pies cut into squares, a style locally known as tavern-cut. Maria's Pizza on West Forest Home Avenue, opened in 1957, is considered the canonical Milwaukee-style pizzeria; Zaffiro's on East Farwell since 1954 and Pizza Man, opened in 1969, are part of the same tradition.
