Pizza Man reopened its doors at 2597 N. Downer Ave. on Friday at 3 p.m.
"It’s Finally Here!," read the Facebook post sharing the news.
"We’re excited to announce that Pizza Man Downer is reopening this weekend! Join us and experience the new look while enjoying all your favorite dishes."
It's been seven months since Pizza Man closed its doors at 2060 N. Humbolt Ave. Since that time, the restaurant has changed hands.
Public records show that Thomas Schafer and Krzysztof Zielinski of PM2 MGR LLC purchased the restaurant from Za Man LLC earlier in 2024. Later, they brought former Zarletti's Mequon Chef Miguel Mayoral in as a third partner.
The new owners have not responded to our phone call or requests for additional information.
Hours at the Downer Avenue location are Tuesday to Friday from 3 to 10 p.m., Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.
