Mothership Pizza Paradise

We arrived around 3 pm on a Saturday and got a table right away. It is a smaller restaurant so I would expect at wait at busier times. They do have a large bar with seating. We ordered the arancini to start with and it was good but a little lukewarm. We also had their daily bar snack (not pictured and complementary) which were ranch seasoned pretzels. The two pizzas we split were the Kathy (pepperoni) and the Also Kathy (white sauce with buffalo sauce and chicken) both were really good. I wish the Also Kathy had more buffalo sauce. Overall I really enjoyed the food and will be back! The service was also great. Very attentive.

Impeccable service, feels like every one there enjoys and really cares about what they are doing. Pizza was fantastic and came relatively quickly considering the amount of people. There was about a 30 minute wait to be seated, but it was well worth the wait, and they text your number so you can walk around or go somewhere else while you wait. Designs on everything are beautiful, had to pick up myself a couple t-shirts. The lighting and setting are also complimentary to the food. Overall a great place to dine, at decent prices if you just pick a pizza or two.

Came for the pizza, couldn’t resist trying the homemade pasta. Let’s just say Dario is my standard in the Cities for excellent pasta and kudos to the chef @mothershippizzaparadise cause that Rigatoni with its kiss of spice rivaled any dish I’ve devoured at Dario. And the pizza? 10/10 recommend. We opted for our server’s recommendation and tried the Also Kathy (white sauce, cheese blend, chicken, bacon, ranch, buffalo, with slivers of finely shaved celery). If buffalo chicken dip fell into celery sticks dipped in ranch sauce and had a baby on a delicious Neapolitan pizza crust this would be its brainchild. And what a delicious feat it was! For good measure, we started with arancini. The mister was quite happy to sop up the leftover fontina fondue. All in all, I can recommend this one without any reservation. Be prepared to wait. It’s busy and not a lot of seats, but so worth it. We’ll definitely keep this one in our rotation.

Not gonna lie, I am a fangirl of Mr. Paul's and their expansions. From the Burgers at the burger bar to the Po' boys at Malcom Yards. So I knew I was going to like Mothership Pizza, but I didn't know how much I was going to love it. Went on Friday night at 5 opening week and it was packed. We got our name on a list but then choose the bar once two spots opened up. There is only 1 tap and it's the Italian lager Peroni, which made my husband said as he is an IPA guy. But lucky for him they do have can options and he got a Bell's 2 hearted. I went with a red blend wine can't remember the name. For food we ordered a lot because it all looked good. (We brought a lot home.) We got the Italian chopped salad to start. The salad was nicely dressed with large pieces (almost too large) of salami and fontana cheese. We followed that up with the Patsy. I love prosciutto but it can get chewy and stuck in your teeth. NOT the case with the Patsy. The prosciutto was nice a crispy almost like a bacon, the ricotta creamy and then the arugula on top with the lemon dressing made for the perfect bite. For pasta we got the Agnolotti, which was nice a light with subtle flavors, the papperdalle was the except opposite of that, filling, comfy, cozy. The short rib was nice and tender my only wish was that it had more horseradish. But the star was the Rigatoni. The sauce clung onto the rigatoni perfectly. A little spice from the chili flake, just so good. The service was great never lacked for anything. Everyone had smiles. There were tvs that had a basketball game. A killer place list. It was quite loud, so if you were looking for a nice quiet dinner walk over to Mr. Paul's and get a table. This is a loud, upbeat modern italian pizza joint.

Awesome pizza restaurant! An upbeat vibe fills the small restaurant while lines form waiting for a dinner table. The service and team members really stood out. Right away, we were greeted walking in. The waitress and bussers were attentive and polite. Also, we had a great view of the kitchen; they were hard at work slinging pizzas while everyone had a smile on their face and looked happy to be there. The Hillary (Meatballs, red sauce, house mozzarella, green peppers, onions, fresno, basil, parm) was good and different from a typical sausage pizza. The fresno brought a slight kick while the green pepper gave a wonderful crunch. The Elizabeth (Red sauce, house mozzarella, ricotta, hot coppa, red onion, chili crisp, basil, parm) was great! I loved the creamy ricotta dollops alongside crispy coppa and spicy red onion. The red sauce is bright and on the sweeter side which works well with the Neapolitan dough: thin soft center, chewy bubbly crust, and all done in their wood fired oven. There was a delay between our first and second pizza, so they gave us Arancini on the house. We did not say anything and were not bothered, but they went above and beyond! Lastly, the space is reminiscent of an old time pizza parlor with a “new” feel. The classic red cups and strawberry bon bon candies are a nice touch. I look forward to seeing Mothership Pizza’s journey and will be back in the future!

First time trying since their opening. Already love their other restaurant, Mr Paul’s Supper Club, so I know this would be great. Got the salads and pizza everything was great. Crust was nice and crispy for a thin pizza. Definitely have a large rush of people trying it and working out some kinks in operation but well worth it. Will be back frequently!

Aynsley was great! Got us set up with tasty apps and awesome fresh pizza to follow. Great vibes is this place, put it on your list. Save room for the brown butter cookies-delish!

The Mothership has landed! Oh, my gosh, what a great place. Cozy atmosphere, friendly, efficient staff and great pizza. Had the Arancini for an appetizer and I wanted to lick the plate. No reservations, so usually a wait unless you go early, but pull up a stool at the bar and settle in for a great experience.
