Nemetz says: Most people have no reference point when it comes to defining Milwaukee-style pizza. Our signature pizzas evolved from the Sicilian and Italian immigrants of the late-1800s that came to the area in search of a better life. History began in 1954 for Zaffiro’s when two nice Italian boys, John and Liberio “Bobby” Zaffiro, created a pizza unlike anyone had ever seen or tasted before in Milwaukee’s “Little Italy.” Zaffiro’s Pizzeria takes classic Midwest-style pizza to the extreme. Their pizza has a curiously thin crust—perhaps a mere two credit cards thick. To yield this perfection, they begin by parbaking their dough, removing it from the oven, flipping it over to dress the pizza, and then returning it to the oven just long enough to finish off the toppings. It is topped with sliced cheese and then ladled with secret recipe sauce to create a signature Milwaukee-style pizza that has consistently been named a favorite among locals and food writers alike.
