Hip and urban, this spot serves up Neapolitan-style wood-fired pizzas topped with fresh, local ingredients, perfect for both herbivores and carnivores alike.
"Big River’s menu of wood-fired, Neapolitan-style pies is especially appealing to vegetarians, with several vegetable-focused pies that take inspiration from the nearby Lowertown St. Paul Farmers’ Market. Options range from the Popeye loaded with spinach and thyme-roasted mushrooms to the 10,000 Leeks topped with purple potatoes, leeks, and a finishing flourish of sour cream. There’s plenty for meat lovers, too, especially the Bacon Jam Slam with crushed tomatoes, sausage, and bacon jam." - Stacy Brooks
"After cultivating a following with a mobile woodfire oven, Big River settled into a space across the street from St. Paul’s Farmers Market. Specializing in what they call “Minne-politan” pizza these are baked Neapolitan style, then topped with locally sourced ingredients." - Joy Summers
