From Madison Pizza Wiki
Villa Piazza was a pizza and Italian restaurant at 2039 Allen Blvd. in Middleton, "behind Enco Station"[1] and "across from the Country Kitchen"[2]. It opened in 1977 and was last found in 1980.
History
Villa Piazza was hiring restaurant staff in February 1977, apparently before it opened[1]. In September 1977 it wanted "pizza makers & delivery persons"[3]. Its last business mention in the papers is a February 1980 call for bartenders and pizza cooks[4]. When it closed has not been found.
