Local

Happy National Pizza Day! In honor of this hashtagable holiday, we wanted to share a few of our team’s favorite local pizza places from around the Twin Cities. Share your thoughts on our list, or tell us what we missed, in the comments below.

Our Local Finds

Punch Pizza

Punch Pizza | Various Cities
With several locations around the Twin Cities, Punch is known for its super-quick, made-to-order, wood-fired super-thin crust pies. These are best to eat on site, because of the delicate nature of these pizzas.

Stephanie’s Favorite: Margarita Pizza

Molly’s Favorite: Tuscano Pizza & a Caesar Salad

George’s Vineyard | Northfield
Georges' is proud to be serving the Northfield area. We serve up fresh, hand made pizzas, a variety of pasta dishes, fried chicken, Greek Gyros and more!

Nichole’s Favorite: Pepperoni Pizza

Red Wagon’s Pizza | Minneapolis
From the beginning when Red Wagon was a mobile operation popping up at farmers markets, the pizzas have always been topped with the best ingredients - often locally sourced. The restaurant has become a neighborhood favorite with an unmatched beer and astoundingly priced wine selection.

Pig Ate My Pizza

Pig Ate My Pizza | Robbinsdale
The Pig is back and bigger than ever after a move down the street in Robbinsdale. The pizza has never been better with unctuous toppings, the showmanship of a cloche reveal tableside and the straightforward comforts of crust, sauce, and cheese.

Pizzeria Lola | Minneapolis
Anne Kim’s South Minneapolis restaurant has been the hotspot since opening in 2010. Standouts include The Korean BBQ pizza topped with beef short ribs, mozzarella, scallions, arugula, sesame, and soy-chili vinaigrette and The Sunnyside with guanciale, pecorino, cream, leeks, topped with two organic eggs, sunnyside up. Fans love to snap pictures in the photo booth and always save room for warm chocolate chip cookies. 

Alyssa’s Favorite: Korean BBQ Pizza

Black Sheep Coal Fired Pizza | Minneapolis
The North Loop’s Black Sheep opened in 2008 and other locations soon followed. The pizza place is well known for its blistered crust, plus simple-sounding toppings (like chicken and pickled peppers) that add up to more than the sum of their parts. Added bonus is their craft beer selection and frequent brewery firkin tapping events.
