Milan took the lead in stunning fashion on the stroke of halftime.
Theo Hernandez started the move in his own half and played a one-two with Rafael Leao before cutting inside the penalty area. His attempted cross rebounded back to him and he fired home from the tightest of angles.
Milan doubled their lead five minutes after the break when Verona defender Pawel Dawidowicz was caught napping by Noah Okafor, who surged forward and forced a save by Lorenzo Montipo but Pulisic tapped in the rebound.
Tijjani Noslin got Verona back into the match in the 64th minute with a powerful strike but Milan sealed the result 11 minutes from time.
A corner was cleared by Verona but only as far as Samuel Chukwueze, who volleyed into the bottom left corner.
