" Had a disappointing experience at Zaffiro's. While the pizza crust was thin and crispy, the toppings were sparse and bland. I expected authentic Italian flavor, but what I got was lackluster. I'm grateful that the waiter was kind, but sadly that couldn’t save the meal for me. There are better spots in Milwaukee. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're in Milwaukee, you absolutely must try Zaffiro's! The thin crust pizza is renowned, and now I understand why. We came here after hearing about it for years, and it lived up to the hype. We had the cheese and sausage pizza, and every bite was delightful. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, my only critique would be about the waittimes during peak hours. But don’t let that deter you from checking this place out—it's worth the wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" Zaffiro's is the kind of place that feels like a hidden gem! The old-school charm combined with delicious thin crust pizza makes it a must-try. I visited on a busy Friday night and was impressed by how quickly we were seated. The pizza had just the right amount of greasiness, which I enjoyed. Can't recommend it highly enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" What an experience! The pizza was delightful, I simply adored their crispy thin crust! It brought a nostalgia back from my college days when I first found out about Zaffiro's. Each bite took me back! Our waitress was so friendly that we felt like regulars from the moment we walked in! Overall, a fantastic time with family and friends and cannot recommend it highly enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great atmosphere and pizza! Zaffiro’s really captured the old-school feel with their decor and layout, and the service was friendly. I enjoyed the sausage pizza we got; it had a great flavor! Perfectly crispy and not too greasy either. I do wish the menu offered a bit more variety with the appetizers. Overall, a solid pizza joint. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first time at Zaffiro’s and I had mixed feelings. The pizza was decent but not outstanding. I feel like I had way too high expectations. The thin crust was nice, crispy, and what you'd expect, but the flavors were not what I was hoping for. On the plus side, the waitstaff was exceptional and very friendly. " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally got to try Zaffiro's after hearing great things, and while I was impressed with the crust, my overall experience was marred by the wait time. We effectively waited an hour for our food. While it did taste good, I believe much of my initial excitement faded. I'd consider coming again on a less busy evening! " (*Curated Review*)
