Zaffiro's Pizza The Original

Zaffiro's Pizza - Review - East Side - Milwaukee - The Infatuation

Milwaukee does in fact have its own style of pizza—the round-shaped pie is cut into rectangles, has a cracker-thin, crisp, and light crust. The best versions come from this family-owned pizzeria that’s been in business since 1954, when two brothers named Bobby and John opened its doors. Their father emigrated from Sicily, and the same recipe for dough and sauce is still used today. In other words, leave the inventive, wacky pizzas to the new kids on the block. Snag a seat in the dining room and start dipping deep-fried eggplant strips into marinara sauce before downing a classic cheese and sausage pizza. Also, not a single decor detail has changed, including red-and-white checkered tablecloths and wood-paneled walls. - Kristine Hansen
