Absolutely love Pizzeria Lola. Only downside? Its nearly 6 hours away. I've been a long time fan of this place and try to stop anytime im in the area as its easily one of my favorite Pizza places in the country.
The Sunnyside is my go to. It might not sound like it, but it's amazing . The Margherita is always solid. As is the my-sha-roni (bonus they offer Nueskes bacon to be added) this time I also tried the tavern pie which was also great.
Fantastic pies! We didn’t get anything else - though it all sounded great. Highlights were the Korean, Sunny side up and Parma.
Guy at host position could have been a little friendlier, but it wasn’t a deal breaker.
Great spot. We had the Korean bbq pizza and it was excellent. The blend of rib meat with seasoned arugula was so tasty!
The staff was prompt and friendly. The kale salad and Sunnyside pizza were terrific. That pizza crust was amazing. Also loved the photo booth and photo wall.
Amazing pizza , ambiance, service, and quite reasonably priced! Great for people with kids too.
The food was top tier. The Korean BBQ was absolutely amazing. Our server was great but the two Hostesses absolutely smashed it out of the park tonight. We had 3 little kids with us and the hostesses had a table ready with gold fish and they helped our kiddos multiple times during our meal. My wife and I couldn't express how thankful we were for what they did for us during the meal taking our dining experience from great to completely unforgettable. Our only regret is not getting their names. Thank you again for such a great experience.
Food and drinks were really great! It was nice to try a combination that I wouldn't ordinarily go for. The crust on the pizzas was fantastic. Our server was great at handling allergies and explaining the restaurant's allergy procedures.
We have dined at pizzeria Lola countless times, as well as order take out. This is often a place we go to on holidays because the Ann Kim restaurants are open on a lot of holidays. This past Memorial Day was some of the worst service I have ever had in my life. When the server came over about 5 minutes after we were seated we ordered 4 appetizers and a round of drinks. The drinks came in a timely ish manner. But we waited and waited for the apps. The server stops by and asks if we are ready to order, a little confusing,no mention of “those apps will be out soon, thanks for being patient” which is what I would expect.But we said yeah we are ready to order the PIZZAS, hoping he remembered the apps.. we order the pizzas.. my 4 year old is at the table he is getting hungry and restless. I go on a walk around the restaurant and swing by our server,because after 30 minutes the apps still aren't there and there has been no mention of them or how long they are taking, and ask about them.He is slightly rude to me but says they will be out soon. No hospitality, no thanks for being patient, no sorry for the wait, no let me check on them. Insane. Well we are back at the table, 45 minutes has passed since we ordered them at this point, so I again check in on the apps.This dude is straight up snappy and rude to me, I have never, so dismissive,so non apologetic,could care less. We all saw it and were like what in the actual f***. So now after about 50 minutes the wings hit the table, so I inquire about the other apps, again so rude, I'm so over it at this point. Finally the 2 salads, burrata and wings were all at the table. The pizzas come out shortly after and we ask for honey.5 minutes goes by with no sign of the honey, so I get up from the table and go ask the manager for it.She comes back to the table and we politely let her know how long the apps took ask if it's normal and she said yeah on Memorial Day blah blah. Well we were here last Memorial Day. We will never be back
A great place to enjoy good Neapolitan crust pizza! Kid friendly and a good wine and beer list! Yes, they have cocktails too! 🥴🥃🥳 so, adult friendly too! Definitely get a reservation or you'll be waiting a while. Overall a good casual place to enjoy good food with people you like!
This being our first visit, we knew the food would be great, but we were not sure what to expect. We arrived 10 minutes early for our reservation. Our hostess suggested we visit the bar area to wait and she would come find us when our table was ready. A short wait with half a beer, and we were found and escorted to our table. We were there for my daughters birthday, and we had a great time with fantastic service.

We were celebrating a family birthday on a Sunday evening, and the restaurant was busy the whole two hours we were there! The food was creative and delicious; the service was attentively prompt and the ambiance was like a large family's kitchen! Thank you for a delightful meal💐
We ordered the Forager with sausage and the Sunnyside for 3 people expecting there to be leftovers. There were none! The Forager with sausage was incredible and was the first one demolished. Ashton was an incredible server and if you can request him, i would. The soft serve ice cream was light and delish. We chose the flavor of the day, cookies & cream with caramel sauce. Again, a great portion and fully demolished. Our bill with tip was just over 100 and that including 2 beers and a diet Coke. I would definitely recommend this place and we will be returning.
I always look forward to visiting Pizzeria Lola when hosting guests in the cities!! The best chef driven wood fire pizza I've found to date. Try the wings, and kimchi as starters.
Lola perpetuating tradition! Every time my wife flies out of MSP, it's now part of her process to eat at Lola beforehand. Superstitious, YES, but she says all the tough parts of travel are much easier to overcome when you've got Lola fueling you! “Predictable input, predictable product”, she's knows it's great everytime & she knows her resultant good mood is all credited to LOLA! You guys are the greatest!
We shared the special pea burrata crostini, Parma pizza and icecream with olive oil & sea salt. Everything was delicious. Good witch cocktails also delicious & so pretty. Great service. The only thing was we felt like we were being rushed off the table. We hadn't seen each other and were spending time catching up but kept getting side glances from hostess & server so finally felt we better leave. Had barely hit the 2 hour mark & had ordered a glass of wine after.
