"One of the Twin Cities’ most-loved pizza spots is opening its first standalone restaurant: after so much success at food halls North Loop Galley and the Market at Malcolm Yards, Wrecktangle is setting up at Lyn-Lake. Known for hefty, Detroit-style, lets-go-cheese-diving pizzas baked in rectangular steel pans, Wrecktangle offers takes that are hard to find elsewhere in the Cities’ pizza scene — like whole meatballs and giardiniera with romano cheese, and thai basil pesto chicken and lemon pepper ricotta with tomato. (Its local tribute, “Sotalicious,” features beef casserole, tater tots, and two well-placed pickle spears wrapped in ham.) Chef Jeffrey Howard Rogers plans to create a mini food hall at the new space on Lake Street, to help incubate new food businesses — Wrecktangle will also have an expanded menu and make use of a smoker, reports the Star Tribune. Though an opening date hasn’t been announced, Wrecktangle is hiring in earnest as of mid-March." - Justine Jones
