50 Best Pizza Restaurants near Mendota Heights

“This is my first time having Tommy Chicago pizzeria and it was great pizza. Majority of the times I eat my pizza with no cheese, including this time. So I don’t know how it taste with cheese but it taste like natural pizza. Close to homemade.“

“This review won't inform potential future diners because we ate there on Young Joni's final night of service, Sept. 12, 2025. Fantastic meal and ambiance. We arrived for our 4 pm reservation, first of the evening, and Ann Kim walked the 50 or so people-long waiting line thanking us for coming. It was a heartfelt greeting and the beginning of a very special meal. The pizza's were outstanding - with chewy, wood-fired crusts. My wife had the Old Reliable, a simple marinara pizza, and I had the La Parisienne, which was prosciutto, goat cheese, arugula and a tasty pickled mustard seed compote. We also shared an appetizer of chicken wings. Plenty of food for the two of us, but we indulged in two wonderful desserts as well: Dad's Favorite Carrot Cake - a ginger-spiced, rich version of the old classic - and a fruit crisp with a unique combination of peach and blueberry. The wait staff was very attentive, especially given the emotion and fanfare of a closing night. Thank you Ann Kim and your wonderful staff for a great 10 years at Young Joni and we'll see you soon at Pizza Lola...and more!“

“This pizza 🍕 I have been eating since they started. The food is so fresh and wonderful. Customer service is always on point too. Love eating here it is always so clean! The atmosphere is enjoyable.“

“Best pizza i have ever had! OG zaza is truly amazing no matter which location you go to they are super friendly and nice. I make sure whenever im near the cities to look for a location! I was at the saint paul location tonight and i accidentally did not complete my order, thought it went through. Waited a while and the cooks asked our name and order because they noticed. They made our order up in under 10 minutes and were so kind about it! I just love the OG zaza atmosphere 🥰“

“Super outstanding food and awesome service. Never had a bad experience. great beer and wine options two. I highly recommend.“

“The hotel 🏨 was amazing 👏 from the moment we entered till we left“

“Being from the East coast and working in the Philly area, I have always said that Philly Cheesesteak's here in Minnesota don't taste right..... until I went to Tono's in Saint Paul. I reminded me of home so much that I bring my family from an hour away to enjoy the food.“

“I have been coming to this north loop location for the last decade or so, and every time has been a very enjoyable experience that I have always been happy to share with friends and family over the years. Place has a very unique vibe to it that brings a nice atmosphere to this pizza shop, the food over the years has always been superb, and has always stayed up to date with pizza trends (ex. Hot Honey!) - servers here are always the best and will ensure that any problems that arise are promptly resolved to your satisfaction!

Here's to another decade of great north loop pizza!“

“I cannot state more how much we love Pizza Novara! We’ve gone to Bloomington for summer vacation the past 3 years now and make sure we get to Pizza Novara at LEAST once every trip. We’ve yet to have anything disappointing or less than amazing. We have an incredibly picky toddler who devours her pizza every single time!“

“Outstanding Service! Pizza and salads are absolutely amazing!!“

“Food was amazing and staff were friendly and accommodating. Had the mushroom pizza and a salad with a coworker . Loved the casual atmosphere outdoors with some shade to sit—you can’t dine in essentially as all seating is outdoors which myself and coworkers appreciated .A nice lunch break from the typical work environment. Will definitely be going back again.“

“Skinner's did an amazing job catering our U of M Employee Appreciation event...EVERYONE was Happy. Thank you!“

“Enjoyed their food. thanks to the owner and Hailey! ❤️“

“We’re from out of town and we come up here every year cuz the food (not just the pizza) is SO good. Great atmosphere, the beer selection rocks, and everything I’ve tried on the menu is fantastic. Dan was our server again this year and he gave us phenomenal service. Can’t wait to come back again!“

“We had a party of 16 at short notice who needed to be accommodated and we were very well attended to. Little Oven Staff knocked it out of the park! Thank you all!“

“I had the pizza twice. it is amazing... Will be back again!!! You can't beat the 7.99 Special!“

“Some of the best pizza and wings I have ever had. Tommie is a really nice guy too, always has a smile.“

“I have almost lost my desire for pizza until I had one of your fantastic meat lovers pizza from your St louis Park location. The perfect amount of sauce, cheese,meat. Gadzooks I'm wishing i had one right now! I'm hoping my next one is just as good as my first. Great service and awesome people.“

“Great pizza napoletana and a lovely staff. We have been patrons for over 20 years. Our family is from Campania and having Punch is a wonderful reminder of home. Grazie mille!!!“

“Great place for pizza and many other types of food as well. Good beer selection, with some good seasonal rotators. The staff is all super friendly, hard working, and helpful. Even on really busy trivia nights (Thursday) they do a pretty good job of finding a spot to sit as quickly as possible.“

“Just wanted to put a review out there for your amazing pizza and service. We stopped Sunday had carryout then brought across the street to Fair State! (we made a couple people jealous and hungry!) the pizza was amazing and the gentleman (owner?) and his son working were very kind! Thank you.. the only regret was we forgot to stop back and grab some frozen ones to take back to Rochester! 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟“

“Very good pizza gives NewYork a run for its money they use fresh authentic ingredients sauce and meats made fresh in house daily Some of the best Pizza I ever had Friendly and great customer service“

“Best pizza ever, hands down. Service is always good here and good location and good parking, nice patio.“

“Wonderful pizza and great atmosphere! Can't wait to go back“

“I absolutely love pizza luce, the pizza is sincerely delicious and very reasonably priced, the staff is more than courteous, they are down right amazing.
I missed my transfer on the greyhound, and they were sympathetic and kind , hospitable and incredibly courteous. Its a shame i dont live in minneapolis, id hit up pizza luce at least 3 times a week if not more.“

“We would give the Pizza a 4.5 out of 5. Yum! Those we interacted with on the phone and at the Pizzeria were very pleasant, we'll be back. Thank you!“

“I love dominos! The food is always bomb an the employees are very helpful and prompt!!! Especially the cute lady driver;)“

“Stopped in for an early dinner with the family after the game. As always, the staff were friendly, the food was delivered promptly, and the pizzas were delicious.

Vegetarian options: There are several vegetarian options on the menu, though a vegan might struggle to find adequate choices.

Parking: The restaurant has a small lot. If it is full there is street parking on Grand Ave.“

“HEADS UP VEGETARIANS!!! If you order a plain cheese pizza with wild rice on it, or a "hog in the bog with no sausage", the wild rice still has sausage mixed in. I have no idea why. It's not indicated as such on the website and several employees *do not know* that the wild rice comes with sausage mixed in and cannot be included separately as vegetarian. This is my one and only complaint and it breaks my heart because everything else is awesome but this lack of communication around seemingly vegetarian-safe ingredients is quite frankly a health risk.“

“Delicious pizza, fantastic service.“

“Stopped for the first time. Met Brian and Cocoa who are amazing. Killer ice cream and locally owned and operated!! Support Local!!!!“

“Went there today for the first time. Great food, chef kissed delicious! Great service, friendly atmosphere. Wish my youngests food came out at the same time as the other 4 of us (his came out 10 minutes later and he’s 2) but portions were so big we had enough of our food to share as he didn’t eat his when it finally came. Otherwise delicious and would definitely recommend“

“Pizza is always killer. The man running the place is always so polite when we pick up our order. I'd say for me it's bordering on too much cheese but the pizza fries and sauce are amazing! And it's one of the few places that has artichokes available. It's also cash only.“

“Amazing pizza, delicious hoagies, and great staff! Fun trivia nights too! Nice to have a local pizza place in the neighborhood!“

“One of the best pizza places around! They always have great food. My sister and I went on a Friday evening, which we knew would be busy. We arrived at our designated time only to find out that they were behind on orders. The first thing I noticed was how hard your employees were working. They looked so overwhelmed and stressed out, but we’re still able to give us great customer service. I saw the order receipts flowing in by the bunches to the point they had to put them in a huge pile on the countertop. Please limit how many people can order per time slot online. Your employees are working so hard for indoor dining as it is.“

“The pizza is always perfect. The delivery drivers are on time and super nice.“

“Had pizza delivered last night and was very happy with both pizzas. We ordered a gluten-free hamburger, and a vegetable with sausage pizza Fresh and delicious. I ordered “DO NOT BURN”, Because I’ve had a little trouble with that in the past, and the pizzas last night were perfect! NE “

“The food is delicious and the staff is super nice and funny. Would definitely recommend and will be going back.“

“It's been a long time since I've had pizza this good. I highly recommend the Eastside Pizza.“

“How many calories are in a single slice of Jet's pepporoni?“

“Phenomenal 🔥 Consistently coming with that top quality product we thoroughly enjoy! Yum 🤤“

“100% Celiac freindly, they will prepare gluten free pizzas on a different line than the regular pizzas so no cross contamination.

Excellent location, soon to be on the B line BRT route as well! I used to do trivia here so ate a lot of pizza, always to a high standard. There is a Bar and TV's as well, good menu with more options that just pizza.

Also, my Welsh Mum said this is the best Pizza she ever had on a recent visit to the US.

Dietary restrictions: Celiac friendly, no cross contamination. Gluten free food is prepared separate from other menu items.“

“Amazing. Just go and you won’t regret it! Was a little skeptical about the Italian/Japanese fusion aspect, but everything we had was VERY good. I’m kicking myself for not remembering our servers name, but medium length red hair and beard. Knew everything about the menu, ingredients, cocktails, etc. One of the best servers I’ve ever gone on an experience with. Fantastic all around. Super fun culinary journey. Thanks team!!“

“I didn't realize they were still making Savoy Pizza. Sorry it took so long. I only rate 5 star places or 1 star places. Take out only, we got a half baked, finished up at home. Fantastic! Please open a store in Stillwater, our choices are rather lame.“

“First time!! Discovered in the skyway downtown Minneapolis. IT IS SO GOOD!!! 😋“

“This is one of the best pizzas around! Similar to Jets but better reminds of Pizza Huts big foot pizza from the 90s“

“Amazing atmosphere and the food was incredible. I had manciotti with the homemade meatballs and they were outstanding. Amazing food and service“

“This Papa’s is so wonderful, they took time to explain the stuffed and how to cook it and wait to bite into it. It’s beautifully made and it was delicious!! Other Papas don’t always look so good. ?

Kid-friendliness: Super kid friendly and they can watch their pizza being made.“

“Great place to eat brings me right back to Italy!!! Was a great lunch and great service.“
