User Reviews of Balistreris Italian American Ristorante

Yelp.com Review - by William T.

3.0 of 5 stars. The pizza was pretty good, but I come from a pizza town so it didn't knock my socks off. When I am in the area, it will be one of the places I think to go to.

Best Pizza We Ever Had

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. It's incredible.

Very disappointing.

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,...

Best Pizza Around by Dave W. at InsiderPages

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.

Hands Down, Best Pizza in Milwaukee!

If you get more than 4 toppings, request your pizza WITHOUT sauce; get olive oil instead...I know it sounds crazy, and the sauce is good, but the crust is crispier if you have a lot of toppings...

you got it right!

THE best pizza in Milwaukee, hands down. Toppings are plentiful. Sausage is well-seasoned, not over spiced or too garlicky. Only problem is the wait on busy nights.
