Lisa's Pizzeria - Milwaukee

I used to eat at Lisa's all the time and it was great! One of my favorites. For no particular reason, I haven't been there in over a year.  I have to say, my return visit was very mixed. the server was not good at all. Never checked back with us, was made aware of a problem (more on that later) and didn't even have the sense to say "I'm sorry" let alone bring it to the attention of the manager or chef - just giggled. The garlic bread was awful. Toasting bread can save it if it is a day old....but this stuff had to be sitting for a week! This was so incredibly stale..it was inedible! When we told the server, she giggled and did nothing. We were charged for it anyway...it definitely should have been taken off the bill. The pizza was fine...a little greasier than I recall...but okay. Nothing more. Honestly, I doubt we will be back anytime in the near future. Too many other good pizza places in Milwaukee.

I don't understand.... very many people swear by this place, love it, insist it's the best pizza in town, but every time I try it, it's a bit run down inside and the pizza is average. Could it be that people are fondly remembering college days with UWM just up the road? not sure, but not best pizza, not best service, not best place, in my admittedly humble opinion.

The best pizza on the east side. When I judge pizza it all comes down to the sauce and Lisa’s has the tastiest darn sauce you ever will try. We typically order thin crust and it is crispy and hot every time. Toppings are high quality and consistent. Spaghetti with meat sauce and lasagna are great fridge stuffers for the next day. Each entre comes with a little fresh salad that, while simple, just seems to start it all off right. This place can be poppin’ off the chain so expect to wait a little while on hold sometimes: it’s worth it. Parking can be a challenge on Oakland avenue but spaces turn over quickly. I live close by so every order is takeout. Friday fish fry is worth it too.

Well, well, well, an overall great pizza place. I went in with extremely high expectations as it was rated the best pizza place in the entirety of Milwaukee and after trying it the claim is very strong. 1.75 for unlimited refills on soda is impeccable and delicious despite having too much ice. Though there was too much ice, the free refills made it worth it. Moving on, the pizza came very quickly for a Saturday evening and it was a very delicious pizza. The sausage was very good and merged with the cheese and sauce very well. The sauce was sweet and tomato-y in a good way. The staff was very into their jobs and very obviously cared about creating a good experience. Only bad thing I can think of was that the crust was a little burnt but it gave it a good crunch.

Have heard about Lisa's having a good pizza so my wife and I stopped in on the evening of Jan 4th . The young lady who served was so pleasant and we loved the charming , intimate atmosphere . But wait ! Our pizza was excellent the way we like it , not overwhelming with cheese and the sausage was excellent
