The Twin Cities’ Most Anticipated Restaurant Openings, Spring 2022 - Eater Twin Cities
"The Twin Cities’ pizza-and-subs plot is thickening. Jason Hansen and Peter Sebastian, owners of southern European restaurant Estelle in St. Paul, are opening a pizza restaurant in the former Tillie’s space on Cleveland Avenue. Chef Evan Vranian, who has worked in local kitchens at Sooki and Mimi, Tilia, Spoon and Stable, and Surly, will lead the kitchen. According to Racket, Mario’s will be making pan pizzas, honing in on the essentials: a crispy crust made with local Baker’s Field flour, fresh tomato sauce layered under a generous helping of high-quality cheese. Vranian will also be baking Italian white sesame seed loaf bread for hoagies. Look for an opening before the end of April." - Justine Jones
