Transfer Pizzeria Café

Pie for pie the best za in the city!Transfer has been a staple in the MKE pizza scene for decades, and for good reason.They have an excellent variety of pizza options, but you must try one of their garlic sauce pizzas! 2 of our favorites are the Garlic Special: garlic cream sauce, cheese, sausage, mushroomsOr Garlic Lovers: garlic cream sauce, cheese, pepperoni, sausageYou really can't go wrong with any pizza you order, although I will say the dill lacked any hint of dill flavor, so that was disappointing.The service is great, very attentive and helpful navigating the menu.Also fun: They have live jazz music every Thursday!Most pizza spots are made to carry out, but Transfer has created a warm and inviting space to dine in on some tasty za!

We stopped by Transfer for an early Valentine's Day dinner and to use our City Tin coaster! We were able to be seated right away and they were just using the front part of the restaurant. It is such a nice environment and the staff is so friendly and on top of things. They even were able to hook us up with a special topping they don't normally have.My reason for not giving it 5 stars is that I think the pizza just might not be my style of pizza. I never gravitate toward it for some reason, but I know other people really enjoy it! The staff and environment are really great!

It's the kind of pizza you're still talking about hours or days after you've eaten it with the kind of service that makes you think it's a fun place to work.I've ordered carry out twice. Both times the service was fantastic - great on the phone and great in person. I walked in and felt welcome and cared for and left, ready to head home and enjoy my pizza.Good service goes a long way! Thank you to those who were delightful and made me want to come back. Getting to the pizza. It cannot be forgotten. The varieties of toppings, the sauces, the crust - all add to a very special pizza. I had the Garlic Special and the Margherita. Both were fantastic!The dining room looks a place people would return to, regularly. It never seems empty, even on a Tuesday night. I will be trying out that dining room very soon.

Food came out super fast. Was pretty good. They have nightly deals. Our waiter was a little pushy and seemed short with us.

I always point people to this spot when they ask where my favorite pizza is. I love the unique combinations that they come up with. We got two pizzas and some spinach artichoke dip. Our server had a lot of energy and was very attentive. We made a reservation on a Thursday and I'm glad we did because the place was poppin. There was live music, too.

We did take out from Transfer for the first time. It's a couple of blocks from my place, and Transfer is very popular. A well organized business, Transfer has a separate window on the street for take out. It was seamless. I felt the pizza was okay, nothing great, and the pie lacked flavor. My slices tasted very bland. Vinchi's, making pizzas out of the back of the Bubbler Tavern, is still my favorite.

I may be biased, since I work there, but I know that the people there put quality of food and care of the guests as a top priority. It is the first place my partner brought me when she brought me down from the Northwoods six years ago, and I haven't regretted one second since they hired me. The owners are thoughtful, community-minded employers, the food sells itself, the management looks out for its staff, and, with the exception of yours truly, the service is top-notch. The jazz nights are stellar. If you haven't been here yet, you should give it a try, but be warned: you too may want to work here.

A scrumptious Sunday evening meal! Hubby and I haven't been here in what feels like 5+ years so when someone reminded us of this gem we knew we had to go on our next date night. Such a cute atmosphere. We got a little two top but I'm determined to return at sit at the bar, it's such a vibe. I got the pear martini and would absolutely get it again, 9/10, sweet and refreshing which is exactly what I needed on this summer evening. We started with the Bruschetta, just the basic one, and boy was the flavor awesome!!For pizza, we opted for a large Diavola and added onion (because I'm obsessed w onions). And it was very good! I'd give it a 7.5/10. I feel like there's gotta be better pizzas on the menu but it's so hard to chose. My husband had the idea of a sampler pizza where you get a quarter of all different pizzas because it's honestly so hard to just chose one or two. We had 2 slices to take home (perks of ordering 1 large), and I will get to enjoy them for my lunch on Monday - lucky me!!

We got there about an hour before our reservation and they still seated us right away! It was Thursday night and they had lovely live jazz music that was so nice to listen to. Our waitress was so kind and helpful with her recommendations. She recommended the cheesy garlic bread to start. The marinara sauce was VERY good! The cheesy garlic bread itself was okay. Clearly good quality ingredients but I think if they use the same type of dough as the pizza it would be much better. It also could have used more garlic/butter on it. We decided to try some of the specialty pizzas. We got the dill pickle and the bbq chicken pizza. The dill pickle pizza was great! Excellent garlic sauce, I wish it had more. Plus the replacement of bacon with pepperoni was really good. I liked it better, but my husband liked the bacon better. It was crispy and well cooked. The bbq sauce was more of a sweet sauce, which isn't my taste. But honestly everything we ate was quite good and they clearly use quality ingredients. The pizza dough was amazing and the pizza was cooked perfectly (a little crispy on the outside but chewy and fluffy on the inside).Also we asked the server about dessert and she gave us her honest opinion- which I greatly appreciated!! I'd definitely come back to try a more classic type of pizza!

Fresh, quality ingredients and a delicious light thin crust. The customer service was wonderful as well! Great for pick-up or dine-in.
