==History==
The chain began as a pizza joint in Canada in 1964 — not in Boston — and by 2005 had 180 franchises in Canada and 17 in the United States; Middleton's was one of two in Wisconsin, the other in Eau Claire. Diners turned right into a loud, smoky sports bar or left into a family dining room with an open kitchen; the same menu served both. The State Journal's reviewer found the kitchen "has the pizza part right", with more than 25 pizzas on hand-pressed medium crusts<ref name="mc-2005-02-06-bostons-review">Martell, C.
