Alphonso's The Original — Restaurant in West Allis

Ok, They have big mozzarella sticks thats cool they have a lot of cheese yum thats why i gave it 2 stars, the breading is flavorless just dough and the marinara also has no flavor, i had to make my own sauce to dip it in so i could actually enjoy it as nothing had any flavor, i ordered the big alzone and i left it no flavor whats the point of a calzone with no flavor it can be stuffed but if nothing has flavor what is the point? I tried the chicken tenders with barbecue that was mid, i give a 5/10 the barbecue helped it taste ok again no flavor, no salt no seasoning nothing that truly makes you feel "wow this is delicious" i think you guys need to work on adding flavor to your foods, the pictures make everything look delicious when hungry but man i wish it tasted the way it looks. I also ordered the willy sandwich didnt even try it yet im not really looking forward to it either, please use some kind of savoury seasonings on your breading garlic without salt is not going to make things taste good, fries also need seasoning im just dissapointed i spent $70 and nothing tasted like anything it could have been great if yall actually took some time to not only wow with sizes but with seasonings and spend some time perfecting your recipe before adding more things on the menu. Please take my advice and update your food give it some flavor it needs salt it needs something its just bland and im only 24 trust me my tastebuds are fine but i felt like a 56 year old with no tastebuds eating this my hopes were high but i was let down and my wallet doesnt feel like it was even worth it i didnt finish 3 meals i only ate mozzareeella stick because of the sauce i made and some fries because i put...

I want so badly to love this place. The vibe is awesome. The employees are cool. The story of the restaurant is fun. The food items have cool names. The pizzas are creative. The mozzarella sticks are an affront to moderation (this is a compliment). Service is good.

But... I've been here twice now and I can't get over one nagging issue. I don't like the food. The sauce they use is homemade (good), but it's just not for me. It's the sweetest pizza sauce I've had in the milwaukee area and it's too much. The crusts of the pizzas are good, but toppings wise I've not loved them either. As a for instance, the most recent time I visited I ordered a supreme pizza that would have been more accurately described as a black olive loaf atop a pizza. It was overwhelming. Again this may just be me, but it was not good.

The aforementioned mozzarella sticks are indulgent, unnecessary, hilarious, gargantuan, and honestly worth trying at least once. They're pretty good and just laughably large. Order them. Once.

Overall I'm willing to admit my distaste for the pizza here is a "me" issue, so I'm not going to say don't go here. It's worth a try because it's a cool place and the mozzarella sticks are a fun thing I've never seen anywhere else. And if the sauce and topping issues are just me then you'll have found a place that is passionate about their food and has a cool story and vibe. But it's not a place I personally...

Edit: Happy to say the owner himself came to my house to apologize. He seems to be a stand up community fellow. Got to try the food so let's talk about that! Pizza was delicious. Slightly sweet sauce that would be great for a Hawaiian pie. The garlic bread was to die for! So much butter I feel my arteries clogging as we speak! Ha! Just moved to West Allis and looking for pizza places. This place had good reviews so I decided to give it a try. I ordered a pizza special for delivery at 4:20pm and was told it would be an hour. At 6:10 I still had no pizza and no call saying they were running late. I tried calling and got nothing but a busy signal. I live close so I went there to see what the deal was. They hadn't even started my pizzas! My pizzas were ordered now 2 hours ago and they hadn't been started? Absolute BS. So much for your advertised "fast and reliable delivery". I got no offer of a discount or free item or anything for my time and trouble... nothing. I said don't bother making it now. I will never order from there again. Ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. They couldn't have made a worst...
