Somehow I haven't been inside the original Zaffiro's in years. I love being able to get it at the movies, but I've been annoyed that I'm not in their delivery zone. Nothing has changed in the interior - possibly ever. This is a straight up old school Wisconsin tavern with a small dining room on the side. Service was very friendly. The place was packed with people waiting in line to be seated or to pick up to go orders. The pizza was predictably great - slightly charred cracker crust, plenty of toppings, good sauce proportion. We had three different types at the table and everyone was happy. Why four stars? Getting the food on our table took a really, really long time. Still a classic though.

What a delightful Mom & Pop old-school Italian place. The pizza was out of this world good. I think we all had a moment. The friend eggplant and salad were solid choices as well. Good, friendly service.

We went to zaffiro's to check out their thin crust pizza after seeing it on a list of top things to try in Milwaukee. Parking was a little tricky at first. We parked on the side of the building at first, but then we saw a sign that said "park at your own risk". Turns out the only parking for the restaurant is directly behind the building, every where else you will get a ticket. Once we got it the staff was super accommodating. There wasn't an area to change the baby, but that didn't take away from the experience. (Tip: Change the baby in the car before coming in.) We were able to get a high chair and the waitress brought out pizza disk-crayons for the kids to make their own color pizza. That was super cute. The waitress suggested we try the fried eggplant. It was cut into spare and deep fried. We got a half order. It was so yummy, crispy, and the lemon adds a freshness to the dish. (Only recommend eating the egg plant onsite as it can get soggy in styrofoam.) The pizzas were so good. The crust was too crispy and the sauce cheese ratio was on point. My son loved the mushrooms and onions. Both were delicious to me. Our waitress Nicky brought out her art skills and drew a cat for the kids to take home and color. We definitely had a great time here and would go back again.

Definitely old school. But if you like thin crust pizza, this is your place.

Some of the best pizza in Milwaukee. Great conversation sitting at the bar with strangers, some familiar and some new, but always a good time. The food and appetizers will never let you down.

The crust is thin on the pizza. The pizza itself is always good. The salad and the lasagna is good too.
