Times Square Bistro & Pizzeria

This pizza is wonderful. You get garlic knots with every one too. I would def recommend this place to anyone looking for pizza in Milwaukee.

The pizza is great as you can see by my rating. But this place is really enjoyable because it is quick and easy. Unlike Classic Slice and their smug hipster croonie staff, Time square staff is not smug. In fact they are down to earth people who serve good food at a great price. The place has the most diverse crowd. On my last visit their were 2 cops, a family, an artist, and an über driver all having a great time. Great job guys!

I went here a year or so ago, and had some really great pizza. I went back tonight… and not so much, and that makes me sad.
I ordered 2 slices of pizza, forgetting that they are pretty decent sized slices, and they come with that garlic roll thing. Let’s talk about that for a moment… it’s a great idea but it’s severely lacking flavor. And let’s be honest, if something is garlic flavored… it should probably be overwhelming garlic flavored. It’s a good idea, but it needs to come with sauce or something.
The pizza… could use some work. I ordered 2 slices and they brought out 1… said they dropped the other and they were going to make a fresh pizza and let me have a slice of that. While eating the first slice, I thought that was going to be awesome, because the first slice seemed a bit stale. I’m kind of used to the places like Ian’s and Brick 3 that will have pizzas made ahead of time and just throw a slice in the oven to reheat it for you, and I didn’t think this place was like that, but it totally was. The cheese and pepperoni wasn’t really fully cooked, while the bottom crust seemed burnt. I was really happy when my 2^nd slice came out… until I cut into it. I hate to say this, but it tasted like a frozen pizza… it was that quality, at best. I was really sad with this. :(

Mmmm. Delicious.
I’d go here again because mmm mm mmmmm. They know how to do pizza. The crust is perfect! It’s not too thick and doughy, but not super thin. It’s perfectly cooked to have a nice fluffy, but crunchy texture. And what I love best?! The New York touch and that oven flavor. Yum!
I only had the mushroom pepperchini one. But I’ll definitely be back to try more. You can’t go wrong, from the flavor of the sauce to the cheese and crust; they’ve nailed it!
But, the garlic knots? Um. That’s a big no thank you and is honestly just a bland filler. There was no garlic flavor at all! It should maybe come with a side of garlic sauce or marinara. But that’s just me.
They oddly have chocolate. Didn’t try any. Didn’t seem appealing. The complimentary beer, which is free when you check in with Unilocal?!Not to my liking.
We ate in. There were a couple of ppl waiting to pick up an order but other than that, no one. And the tables were dirty…
Meh none of the cons are enough to deter me from coming here again… except for prices. A 16″ is pretty expensive. That and two beers on tap totaled $ 35.

New York style, made-​to-​order pizza by the slice. Awesome crust, not too thick, good balance between crispy and chewy. Free buttery garlic knot with each slice. They have other stuff, but that’s all I ever get. Friendly staff. Gallons of apple cider to go.
Downside: they need to clean the bathroom and maybe not have «Philadelphia» playing on a TV in the dining room. Not very appetizing to watch Tom Hanks die of the AIDS.
A much better option than the crappy Indian place next door. I think I wrote this just to reiterate how sucky that place is.

:)
I am so pleased I finally stopped into this weirdly situated pizza stop. Hmm connected to a gas station but no worries this place isn’t gas station fare. I didn’t know what to expect but the awesome pink pigs all over was a bonus I love piggies! Anyway back to the point the point of delicious food.
ithe pizza was fabulous! I ordered the Manhattan Pizza — it had generous servings of crème cheese artichoke hearts tomato chicken and plenty of parmesan cheese. I ate to much of it i can see this place has the type of pizza thats so good you cant stop eating it. I look forward to future visit maybe as an after bar stop :)
Ps this was served with the most delicious bread roll ever ! I can’t wait to come again. Oh yeah hey be patient everything is made from scratch no quick dime a dozen pizza here. Perfection has no time restraints. Pizzaaaaa!
Ps you can win a free pizza by playing video games Grab a pint while your pizza is being hand made and try to best the owners.

I love this pizza place. Prices are more reasonable than Classic Slice, and it isn’t much farther away! It is my go to pizza.

The service here is excellent. They made a minor mistake on my pick up order, so I called to complain. I instantly, really instantly, got a manager who took immediate ownership of the mistake, only questioned me to get the facts straight, did not doubt that the mistake was theirs from the absolute beginning. He gave me credit for a free pizza after first offering to mail me the credit. I actually tried to talk him out of the full free pizza, because I was still able to eat the mistake, it was only one ingredient off, but he insisted, saying that I «didn’t get exactly what I wanted.» Unbelievable. I wish telephone service and computer software had customer service like this.

We finally made it out for a date night and had an Amazon deal. We were entitled to a two topping pizza, two beers, and two chocolates. My hubby and I decided to get different things on our sides. I went sausage mushroom and he just sausage. You can tell when a pizza place uses quality ingredients. You can taste it from the garlic rolls that come complimentary with the pizza, in the dough, in the sauce, and in the sausage. Every topping was delicious! I kept going back and forth as to get the pork belly soup but alas we were full. The chef/​owner is very friendly and willing to take time to talk to you about the food which I think is really cool. I also like to support businesses in our area and hope to go to the pork fest They are currently raising money for a smoker. If you contribute $ 10.00, you get a plate. Sounds delicious to me! The chocolates were also delicious. I was staring at them being made through the glass. I hope to go to one of the cooking classes they offer one of these days.

Ok, this is a gas station! But, the slices are awesome. There is a «just opened» look to the place, and there are some soda slots missing, but my slice — while not cheap — was a great value and yummy. I really think this place would rock if it were in a different location (insert complaint about the lack of affordable retail space in East Walker’s Point).
Not really New York Pizza if you ask me, but good.
Best for slices.
Gas, check. Pizza, check.
I want to come back and try the chocolate (yep, they are doing chocolate bars too!).

Good quality pizza! I had the margherita pizza. Instead of placing the basil leaves on top of the pizza, it was ground instead… an interesting, but welcome, change. The pizza had some garlic flavor to it. It was served with a garlic roll, which I didn’t care for much.

It’s sorta in the gas station people! Super random location and super interesting mix of people eating here, but they really know what they’re doing when it comes to pizza. Errrrr and chocolate. Yep, Atomic Chocolate shop is part of the Pizzeria. Really tasty morsels if you’re looking for a gift — solids, truffles, etc. Fancy stuff. Really.
Oh yeah, the pizza is pretty fab too. And you can get it by the slice!

I eat here often. And since I do, it should be obvious that I like it. The pizza is always delicious and served with a buttery baseball-​sized wad of golden baked dough that I think they call a «Garlic Roll.»
Garlic and Roll. Next to Rock, garlic is the next best thing to go with Roll, I think.
The company I work for is nearby and when we have guests, we often order take-​out from Times Square. Over the years, we’ve received many compliments over our choice of lunch. Many visitors lament that they can’t pizza this good back home, so that’s a good endorsement.
Times Square is a good value, too. A slice at lunch with the roll and a soft drink sets me back about 7 bucks.
The only thing holding me back from giving Times Square another star or two is its unappealing aesthetic. I mean, it’s in a gas station strip mall wedged between a liquor store and a Indian take-​out restaurant. Don’t get me wrong — the best places aren’t often the most obvious, but there are a few things they *can* control. Like the interior. It’s usually a haphazard mess. Gourmet chocolate sales table, apple cider by the gallon in one cold case and fallen over bottles of beer in another, queue ropes, chalkboards, pizza-​stained free press papers scattered about. These things add a certain charm too, but for me it holds Times Square back from getting a higher star rating.
Not but a mile south is another pizza joint that offers a little more ambience, if you’re in the mood for such a thing. But if you just want a darn good slice of ‘za at a solid value, Times Square is just the place.
Consider the garlic roll a bonus. ;)

Yum! I agree GREAT crust – so good, air pockets, chewy… PERFECTION!
I also agree that the staff could be friendlier… I mean this place is getting a lot of press and as the hubs said… the staff looked and talked like perhaps they were high on more than life, but it was quick and honestly… just because they are Wisconsin friendly isn’t the end of the world.
We got both a garlic sauce slice and one with red sauce and I’m surprised to report I actually like the red sauce better. The mushrooms are canned… which I didn’t mind. The sausage was AMAZING… seriously. YUM The garlic rolls are delish!
This place is affordable and good… can’t go wrong there.

Always great pizza! We love the supremo (or something like that) pizza and get it every time. There are so many vegetables and it isn’t greasy at all. The crust is thin and there is just enough crust around the edges to give you the chewy, crunchy crust if you like it.
I also like the chicken and artichoke salad they make. It is super delish. They also send along dough balls covered in butter and garlic.
Not to leave out the best thing since sliced bread… they make chocolate too! It is so good and we always get some when picking up a pie.
The owner is super nice and so are most of the staff. My husband has a harder time the I when I go in to pick up, perhaps they prefer women over men. ;)
The parking lot is shared with a gas station, Indian restaurant and a liquor store, so beware.

This whole strip mall/​gas station thing cracks me up. The whole set up reminds me of a truck stop. If I have other options, I usually do not pick up food at a truck stop and that has kept me from exploring this strange block for the time being.
After you figure out what door to go into, you walk in and find that the setup is clean, simple, and relaxing. I would say it is more pizzeria than bistro, but in a unique combination. The staff was efficient and kind. I ordered a slice of pepperoni for about four bucks. It was a nice sized slice and really tasty. Despite reading all these reviews, I just had to understand what kind of NY Style ‘za we are dealing with. It is cheesier but has that NY style crust going on, overall, it is a really tasty slice and I kind of want to get a big olé pie to spike, then eat.

This will go down as the most random review I have ever written.
After the St Patrick’s day festivities we hailed a cab and asked him if we could go get some pizza. As we furiously searched for something on our iPhones he referred us to Times Square. I was a little weary, but his twangy jersey accent made him seem believable so we went there.
My first thought as we pulled up: «Uh … this a gas station.» But once we went inside we realized that this place was in demand. A ton of people were inside either eating or waiting for their meals. Some of the people that were eating were a little, eh, strange but the pizza looked so damn good that we had to wait.
We ordered an entire pizza to go, walked outside and hailed another cab. Once we got home we literally devoured that beast. This pizza will go down as some of the best pizza I have ever had … honestly.
Try it out! It seems very odd, but the dudes know what they’re doing.

Truth be told, Times Square is my nemesis. I’ll be sitting at home, preparing a salad so as to keep with my hellish, unrewarding diet when a terrible (read: Awesome.) thought creeps into my brain: Italian Sausage sandwiiiiiiiiich. Shut up brain. Prosciutto Crudo piiiiizaaaaaaa. Fine you win, brain. Where did you leave my keys?
This happens once a week to me. Times Square, as you have undoubtedly read, is in a less than ideal location. Who cares? They serve up some of the best pizza in Milwaukee to go along with their awesome sanguiches, calzones, wings (breathe), chocolates and soups. the counter service is always friendly and they do offer delivery during dinner hours. Do yourself a favor and order a sea salt caramel for dessert and thank me later.

STRANGE PLACE TO FIND SUCH DAMN GOOD PIZZA.
I found Times Square Bistro and Pizzeria via a Unilocal search. It was a little hard to find snuggled in between a liquor store and a gas station. The chef, and assumed owner, was super cool in explaining the pizzas and chocolates. My girlfriend ordered a slice of cheese pizza and I two chocolates (coffee and peach/​green tea).
Her pizza slice was more like 2.5 slices so she shared. I’m REALLY glad she shared because this pizza is amazing! Chewy crust, zingy sauce and the perfect combination of cheeses. My favorite pizza in Milwaukee so far. The chocolates were really great as well. Best part: CHEAP!

Times Square is hiding next to Martha’s Vineyard, just to F your I.
This tiny little pizza/​sandwich joint is sandwiched between that liquor store I recently reviewed and that giant gas station on 1^st in Walker’s Point. It’s hiding in a weird little spot, and it’s still freaking good. Maybe more so since it’s so sneaky.
They have homemade chocolates. They make their calzones from scratch, so you’ll have to wait (it’s worth it)! Sandwiches, salads, and pizza. A great menu, awesome selection. Strange-​ish ambiance, but it’s cool. You don’t always *need* ambiance. Sometimes you just want delicious, delicious pizza.
My calzone was super good… I made my own up, and it was awesome. (Ricotta/​sausage/​mushroom/​olives, etc.) Only one teensy tiny complaint. I think that the sausage/​sauce could use a bit more rounding out in the flavor department. Don’t get me wrong — it’s good! I just personally really like big time flavor when it comes to ‘za and any/​all other ‘za type items.
I definitely would recommend checking the place out. You can tell that they care about what they’re doing at Times Square. And it’s awesome that they’re thriving despite being situated in such a strange place. Yay for you, Times!
