Editorial Review for Zaffiro's – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Built in 1956, this small eastside tavern's tiny dining room features red-and-white checkered tablecloths and Dean Martin on the stereo. The menu features a few sandwiches and pastas, but people come here for a slice or two of pizza with wafer-thin crust. The Everything but Anchovies pizza is the restaurant's most popular pie and comes loaded. The house wine is decanted from jugs and served in clear recycled soda bottles, adding to the cozy, homemade ambience.

Being born and raised in Milwaukee, I didn't really appreciate thin crust pizza until I lived in St. Louis, Los Angeles and now Seattle. Some of their pizzas are OK, but nothing like that Zaffiro crust! Dad and I are making another trip "home" this fall and Zaffiro's is one of the first stops! I would love to know how their perch fish fry is on Friday, but I know I couldn't get past the pizza. Got a kick out of the sink in the bar between the two restrooms. At least everyone knows you washed your hands!
Pros: Great pizza at a neighborhood place
Cons: City parking

I love this place, I would reccomend calling for reservations if they take them or ordering your pizza for pickup because if you go there on a Thursday or the weekend the wait is about an hour and the bar area is small so you are waiting in the bar with everyone else who is waiting for a table gets kind of crowded. ALSO if you are going for nice table linens and art on the wall this is not the place to be, very basic and thats fine because the pizza speaks volumes BEST PIZZA IN TOWN.
Pros: Great pizza and garlic bread
Cons: Small
