OMG, Where to start. The food A Mazing. The pizza is to die for. I had the lasagna and it was straight from Italy. The staff was awesome, especially Matt and the hostess was fun too. Definitely worth the drive from Green Bay.
Best fried eggplant on the planet. Great pizza. Consistent awesomeness!
We finally made our way back to Balisteri's as it has been around a decade since our last visit since we don't live in Milwaukee. Nothing has changed. Same tasty food and same vibe as I remembered. We had a half order of eggplant as I remembered the whole order being pretty massive. The pizza was the highlight though...The sausage is top notch. I plan on visiting again when in Milwaukee.
