How This Small Pizza Restaurant Built a LEGENDARY Local Following in Milwaukee, WI
Open, Sun - Thu 11PM- 10 PM | Closed Wed. Milwaukee has plenty of pizza stories, but Zaffiro’s begins with two East Side brothers, a neighborhood bar, and a very thin crust. Liborio “Bobby” Zaffiro opened the Farwell Avenue restaurant in 1954, starting with just a few tables and a service bar.

Former plumber to open hot dog restaurant on Packard Avenue in Cudahy
A West Allis man is trading in the sometimes-dirty plumbing trade to instead open Dirty Dogs , a hot dog-focused restaurant in Cudahy. Jim Turner said his goal was to find a less physical line of work after suffering a heart attack that nearly killed him in early 2026. He also wanted to do something he enjoyed more – cooking – and have a more set schedule. Dirty Dogs will offer various versions of hot dogs including the Chicago-style hot dog, and one topped with mac and cheese, pulled pork and coleslaw. Being in Cudahy, bacon was a given with Turner planning to offer a BLT hot dog. The restaurant will also serve Italian beef, chicken, smash burgers and a Friday fish fry with hand-breaded beer battered fish. Sides could include coleslaw, cheese curds, and possibly mac and cheese bites with other options still in discussion. Dirty Dogs is working to get a liquor license with plans to offer a small selection of beers, too. Turner is planning a soft opening with family and friends – many of whom also make up the staff – to test and finalize the menu with a goal of opening to the public Dec.
