The service was fantastic. The pizza was awful. The crust has NO flavor -- it is, however, very thin...which is normally good. Like eating cardboard that was slightly burned. Nice amount of toppings...if you don't mind everything coming out of a can. Overpriced. The eggplant was
incredibly greasy, and it's not peeled, so it also has a
slightly bitter taste. There is a LOT of it, however.:( The sausage has a nasty texture, and slightly overwhelming peppery taste. We gave it three tries and are not going back, ever.
Pros: GREAT service
Cons: lousy food

Amazingly thin - real Italian sausage and stretchy mozzarella. You can't find a thin crust like this with all the toppings. We travel 600 miles three or four times a year to have their pizza. ... More

Aside from the parking mess, Balistreri's is an enjoyable restaurant with a great atmosphere, very good service, reasonable prices, and one of the best pizzas around. Their other menu items are also excellent, but if you go here, be sure to try the pizza. Their selection of high quality toppings makes any pizza yummy, and the crust is fantastic.

Have been there several time, the pizza is the best. Parking on the street can be difficult to find during the busy supper hours but it is worth the trip. Staff is friendly and prices are reasonable. You can't go wrong with this establishment.

After reading so many positive reviews I was psyched to try the "Best Pizza in Milwaukee"
The crust is not only cracker thin, cracker is exactly what it is. No yeast in this dough, it's unleavened. Crispy, crunchy, but no chewy goodness underneath.
I've heard great things about the sausage, I ordered it, I saw it, but I never tasted it. In fact, the only thing I could distinguish was the overwhelming flavor of black pepper.
Very disappointing after such a build up, ok, but nothing more.
Pros: Ambience
Cons: Pizza

My family has been going to Balistreris for pizza for years. Never disappointed in the quality of the food. Staff is always very friendly. Might have to wait a bit on a Friday or a Saturday night to get a table but is well worth the wait. Must try.

This pizza is the best in Milwaukee. Seating is a little crowded at times. I would try to go at a less busy time. But the food is top notch. Service is exceptional also.

I have been hearing about how great Balistreri's pizza is for years. I went there a couple of weeks ago and received great service on a busy night. The eggplant appetizer was outstanding. The pizza was good, but not the best I've had. I must say the crust was outstanding - light and flaky. I would go there again.

Being originally from Chicago, we tend to be extremely critical of pizza, italian beef and hotdogs. Balistreri's is easily the most flavorful pizza restaurant in town and rivals "home Run Inn" and "connies" from chicago. Both of their locations are equally great and only a couple of blocks apart from one another.
Pros: Great food, period! Who cares about the rest.
Cons: Can be the wait. Recommend going around the corner to their Bluemound location.
