Pretty good pizza...  the usual greasy cheese nothing real exciting, usual old school ingredients, thin crust type pizza.  Salads are good w/traditional Italian dressing (I hate going to an Italian restaurant and being asked what kind of dressing I want, french?  What?  Italian please!).  Bread is good and thick.  

Portions are big, prices are reasonable.  Good for when you have that greasy pizza craving.  They also have sandwiches and pasta.  I tried the cheese ravoli, it's ok frozen variety.  Not bad but not outstanding.

Delicious thin crust pizza, with the most perfect sauce. Other foods good there too, but the pizza is the best! If you go for dinner or on weekends, be sure to make reservations. It gets really crowded. Best time to go to avoid the crowds is late lunch on weekdays. Love to carry out the pizza too.

Best thin crust pizza on planet earth bar none.  That is coming from someone who lives in New York and has had his share of outstanding slices all over NYC.  Big sheets of pizza, oozing with grease, heaps of cheese, and great toppings.  I recommend the fried egg plant strips to prime up your arteries before the Pizza comes.  Had my first Balistreri's pizza in 1980 and have been returning every chance I can ever since.  Thank goodness nothing has changed - same long wait, same decor, and same outstanding pizza.

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.

Growing up off of Bluemound in the 60's & 70's my family started ordering takeout pizzas from Balistreri's.  Needless to say I've eaten many squares of pizza from here and I love it.  Inside gives you a warm Mom & Pop feeling.  I hope to be visiting them for many years to come!

Aside from the parking mess, Balistreri's is an enjoyable restaurant with a great atmosphere, very good service, reasonable prices, and one of the best pizzas around.  Their other menu items are also excellent, but if you go here, be sure to try the pizza.  Their selection of high quality toppings makes any pizza yummy, and the crust is fantastic.
