Two couples, Joe and Kay Cerniglia and Frankie and Kelly Grant, opened Madtown Pizza about eight months before its February 2012 review, after overhauling the room with new black-and-white floors.

It was open evenings only, with limited delivery for a dollar more<ref name="mc-2012-02-29-madtown-review">Dean, K. (2012, February 29).
