The Best New Restaurants in Minneapolis and St. Paul Right Now, March 2025

"Mothership Pizza Paradise, from the team behind Mr. Paul’s Supper Club at 50th and France, is now open just around the corner. Chef Tommy Begnaud trades the supper club’s Big Easy-inspired menu and atmosphere for a delightfully retro, subtly intergalactic vibe. His wood-fired, lightly charred Neopolitan pizzas are layered with combinations like white sauce with creamed spinach and crispy shallots; pork sausage with fennel and olives; and house mozzarella with chile crisp and ricotta. (Roasted vegetables, salads, crudo, and cured meats are also on the menu.)" - Serena Maria Daniels

The vibes make this place special. Food is a nice bonus. Went around 7:45, were told it would be a 30 min wait, ended up being about 15. Waitress manning the waiting area was short with us though after we said we ordered at the bar as we didn’t know she came around for drinks orders. Our table waitress was super friendly. We got the calamari and arancini to start. Both were great. Lumache for the pasta w/ chicken and none of us liked it. I’m still looking for the chicken, and the sauce was very bland & almost tasted reheated. Elizabeth pizza was terrific, table favorite. Highly recommend. Patsy was also really good. Service was a little slow, and they never switch out your plates (which are tiny in the first place), so i didn’t love eating the second & third dishes off of my leftovers from the first. Overall a fun causal place.

We’ve been meaning to stop in since it opened and we’re glad we finally made it! The atmosphere had a good vibe, the staff were friendly and efficient and the food was delicious. We had the Kathy, the linguini with shrimp and the chopped Italian salad. All three options stood out and the pizza ranks up with some of the top Neapolitan options in the area. If you’re in the area and like great Pizza and pasta, do yourself a favor and stop in! We’ll definitely be back.

The Care Bear pizza was absolutely outstanding. Perfectly crisp crust, vibrant flavors, and a great balance of toppings. Unfortunately, the rest of the experience fell short. The chop salad lacked complexity. I appreciated the fennel, but the overall flavor was flat. The orange, which sounded exciting on the menu, amounted to two tiny pieces, hardly enough to matter. The meat was too chunky, and the cheese cubes felt heavy. Thin slices and shredded cheese would have been a better choice. The pasta was flavorful but laughably small for the $24 price tag, six noodles at best. It could have used a little more lemon zest to brighten it up, but even perfect seasoning would not make up for the portion size. Service was somewhat disorganized, and fruit flies in the dining area did not help the experience. Our total was about $80 for one salad, one very small pasta, a pizza, and one drink (my partner had water). Overall, expensive, decent food, but small portions. With so many options in the Twin Cities, we could do better elsewhere. Bottom line: Come for the pizza, but do not expect value or a well-rounded dining experience.

I would rate everything a six if I could. I have never done crack, but I imagine the garlic knots are a good analogue. The meatballs, and the chicken parm are close behind. Both are under “small plates” but they are not. The chicken parm is there because it doesn’t fit anywhere else. It deserves its own category: comes on a loaf of bread, pretty much. Skip the garlic parm wings. They’re not anything special. We may have just gotten unlucky. Henry, bartender who hated his name when he was six (he’s now at least seven, I think) is wonderful. Get the strawberry basil gimlet. You don’t need to even like gin.

Waited about 15 min for a table at 5:30 on a Thursday. Great service and very nice employees that offered drinks while we were waiting. Our group tried a view different pizzas and apps. The wings, heirloom tomato, burrata, and garlic knots were great apps. We also enjoyed the Ama, Patty, and Elizabeth. The Elizabeth was a table favorite. Also we determined that they have a top espresso martini in the twin cities. Can’t wait to come back for pasta and take away pizza someday!

This place has more than good pizza! It has a delicious selection of pasta and shareable small bites! Our server Levi was awesome! He was the only one at the place and really hustled to serve us and the customers at the patio. It also seems to be a team effort as drinks and food were brought out by folks from the kitchen. A great casual place to get together with friends and family and there’s plenty of bar seats! Worth a try if you’re in the area!

We've always walked by Mothership on our way to other restaurants and are glad we stopped in. The pizza was pretty good and with unique flavors. The price is about what you would expect for freshly made pizza. The calamari appetizer was slight overly inflated for the amount you get, but it was delicious. The place gets quite busy and because of the architecture, it gets very loud. Other then that I'd recommend coming and giving Mothers hip a try.

Really laid-back and friendly atmosphere with great pizza and nice cocktails. Expect a short wait for a table during peak hours. Service was warm and genuine, house staff definitely were a slice above.

Absolutely the best pizza. Mothership PIzza has redefined pizza for us. The service is 10/10, taste 10/10. Highly recommend you give it a try, you won't be disappointed! Our favorite pizza is The Emma.

Visited 8/5/25. (The) Mothership has arrived! This place is so fun. Good for all ages too, as I went with friends for dinner/drinks, but there were also a good amount of families there too. They had fun feature pizzas/daily deals and it gave fun pizza parlour vibes which I enjoyed. Would most recommend the garlic knots, as these were perfection. Split these, two pizzas, and a pasta between four people and it was a solid amount of food for the four of us. Pizzas were good and I think I liked them slightly more than the pasta, but the pasta still had great flavor. Overall would definitely come again

Been wanting to check this place out! Finally had the chance and it was great! Ordered an Aperol Spritz, cheese pizza and pepperoni pizza. Ambiance is nice and cozy... kind of feels more like a diner than pizza joint since layout is more rectangular and elongated. Love the large booths that faces the bar so I got to have a bit of entertainment watching the fun drinks the bartender was whipping up. My Aperol was refreshing! Can't go wrong with this drink. One of my faves. Both pizzas were yummy! Love the chewy crusts. The cheese pizza was a bit burnt on one side of the undercarriage. I understand char and welcome it, but there's char and then there's char char kinda borderline burnt. I'm sure it was just the discretion of the pizza maker and maybe he left it on one side a bit longer since the other side of the pizza was fine and the pepperoni pizza was fine. Fabulous pepperoni. I'm a huge fan of the small cupped type and prefer it over traditional pepperonis. Cool box for leftovers! Nice place for a quick stop. Also saw they had a small patio space on side.

Ok... someone tell me why I haven't been here before now?!? I am not normally a fan of Neapolitan style pizza because there are limited toppings on them... this was more like NY style with stringy cheese and lots o toppings!! I am obsessed! Pizzas I tried: "Emma" mushroom pizza - this was beyond foodgasm! The cheese and wild mushrooms with artichoke were perfection!!! I am drooling while I am writing this and thinking back about how good this tasted. "Also Kathy" buffalo chicken pizza- I was worried when I tried this that it would be too hot. It wasn't! It was the perfect amount of flavor and not overly buffalo. This is probably my favorite Buffalo pizza that I've ever had! (Order without bacon for all my non pork eating friends). Perfection! I didn't think MN needed more pizza places until I tried Mothership! I want more! Thanks for the unbelievable pizzas, service and cocktails! I will be back and pull my crew next time! Note: the space is small, so get there early so you get a seat. See you there!

The Emma (pizza) was the best pizza I've gotten in a LONG time. It's the perfect combo of spicy and sweet. The aperol spritz was delicious and refreshing. The inside of the restaurant was beautifully decorated. Their choice of music was perfectly fitting. The server was helpful and not overbearing. I'll definitely be back.

Just ate here for the first time tonight. The place itself has a fabulous vibe. The interior has a modern twist on a vintage vibe with super fun art and light fixtures. A comfortable blend of booths and chairs. Great variety of starters, pizza and pasta. We ordered 2 pizzas and the best calamari we've ever had. The staff was pleasant and helpful and our waitress Jasmine was a full-on ray of sunshine which is much appreciated. Pizza was pretty darn perfect. We ordered the Brenda and Patsy. Both were fab. Treat yourself to the hot honey dipper. It's good on everything! Moral of the story is..."We'll be back"

I came here with my friend after a round of golf and we quickly fell in love! The lunch deal was perfect for us. The first cocktail was so good that we ended up staying for a few more :) Strawberry Gimlet may be one of the best drinks I've ever had! And our waiter was absolutely amazing, treated us so well. Mothership is definitely a new fave spot for us!

I've been wanting to try mothership pizza for awhile now, and finally got the chance to have it. We went on a Tuesday evening, and it was still pretty busy. We were able to get a table outside quickly though. We ordered the garlic knots and a kathy pizza to share, delicious! The fresh cheese on the knots was amazing and the red sauce. My favorite type of pizza is wood fired and this was up there in my top for sure!

Absolutely loved this place! The first time I came in, it was buzzing on a Friday night, and we ended up on the waitlist. But when we returned after 45 minutes, the staff greeted us by name before we even had a chance to reintroduce ourselves--talk about impressive service! And let me tell you, the pizza and wings were out of this world! The pizza had the perfect balance of salty, cheesy, and crispy, bursting with flavor. Plus, the ambiance is just adorable, with a modern retro diner vibe that makes it even more enjoyable. I can't wait to go back!

We loved our visit to mothership pizza! We read ahead that it's small and fills up fast, so we arrived at 445 on a Friday for our table of 6 and were sat within 15 minutes. It's a smaller space but still has ample bar seating first come, first served so if you're solo or a duo, you probably would have easier luck finding a spot quickly. The hostess and staff were very welcoming and made sure we all had cocktails while we waited and they were so friendly and engaging with the kids which made the time go by faster for them too. I was anticipating enjoying our meal, but I honestly was even more pleased with the food than expected. The chopped salad had this wonderful balance of salt mixed with a light citrus and I've been thinking about it since we left. We also split the garlic knots, carrots and meatballs from the non-pizza menu and were all fighting over the last bites because they were all so good. My 8 year old enjoyed the Kathy which was meatball and green pepper, my absolute favorite was the Emma which had pistachios, white sauce and mushrooms. And we split another spicier 'za too whose name I'm forgetting but it had green olive and Fresno peppers and was a good partner to the sweetness of the Emma. The pizzas are wood fired so that lovely thin crust that you actually want to finish and not just waste. We will definitely be back as I have to eat more of that salad but I'm also very interested in the pastas too!

A friend chose this as our dinner destination, and it was a big ol' 5 stars dining experience. Yes, it's mostly pizza, but it's very very tasty pizza. + great pasta and appetizers menu as well. The pizza toppings are unique and pair very well together. Our group ordered the Elizabeth, the Karen, lumache pasta and garlic knots. Honestly, the garlic knots were the most surprising bc I'm so used pizza places phoning this dish in, but these were DELECTABLE. Pizzas had fantastic flavors, some bold, some subtle, and all real delicious. Service was attentive and friendly. OH AND ALSO hot and fresh chocolate chip cookies for dessert with a sidecar of milk to dunk?! A yes every time.

Charred and overcooked pizza had bitter and burnt flavors. And the high cooking temps and short baking time resulted in dry meats and undercooked veggies. Crust was black on the edges and the bottom. I asked if this was how their pizzas were normally done, and the server said that they it was. The pizza did come out very fast and the service was very friendly. But the pizza was overcooked and over salted.

Mothership Pizza Paradise has a lot going for it, a cute atmosphere, a full bar (not just beer and wine), and a convenient location with free ramp parking a short walk away. We came in around brunch time on a Sunday and ordered The Elizabeth pizza and wings. The pizza definitely had a lot of flavor! Unfortunately, the center was quite soggy... not in the foldable New York-style way, just kind of wet. The wings were also on the softer side, but still decent if you're having a craving. On the upside, the espresso martini was delicious! Overall, it reminded me of other wood-fired pizza spots around Minneapolis. If I lived nearby, I'd probably go back for a quick bite and brew! Service was quick and friendly.

don't take as long as I did to jump on the @mothershippizzaparadise bandwagon 10/10 service from Jordan, patio vibes & meal. will be back again to test the rigatoni ASAP. this was some of the best pizza I've had in MN in quite awhile. our orders: the Brenda // $25 -- tip: ask for hot honey on the side! chopped italian // $15 espresso martini shots for 3, courtesy of Jordan unfeatured: aperol spritz & strawberry basil gimlet - both were delish!

We sat at the bar and were so impressed by the incredible fun and kind staff. It is such a lively and exciting spot. Cozy and comfortable while also being modern and new. The cocktails were excellent. Started the meal with crispy arancini. We had the Also Kathy pizza, think Buffalo chicken dip flavors meet pizza. The Agnolotti pasta was also fantastic, so many flavors coming together to form one delicious dish. Can't wait to come back!

Having had a great experience at some of this ownership's other spots, we couldn't wait to try out Mothership! Especially since each pizza is named after one of the lead team's moms! Street parking directly nearby or a walkable distance to a free parking garage. It was opening week, so we arrived and put our name in, knowing we'd have a decent wait. We headed back a bit before they called us back, and were able to find a spot at the bar! The service was stellar and very timely, especially since I figured it would be chaotic for opening week. They seemed to have all the issues ironed out and were running very efficiently. The interior is kinda small, so I wouldn't recommend for large groups, but it's decorated well and meets the identity of "local pizza spot"! The menu is simple but has plenty of traditional and non-tradtitonal options! We had a bucket of beers, served cheekily in an old tomato can. Great selection for a good price ($20 for 5 canned beers). We started out with the garlic knots, which were surprisingly small in size but had a great flavor. We tried Connie, Hillary, and Care Bearpizzas. All the pizzas were delish and Mothership knows their way around a white and a red sauce pizza! The star is the chewy crust that they make...it's perfect for their Crust Dipper side sauces! Overall, a yummy and well-run new establishment that's perfect for watching a sports game or meeting up with some friends.

Last night we went to Mothership Pizza, and had an awesome time. They really do a good job of greeting people, and making them feel welcome. I felt like I walked into a new restaurant that i'd been to many times, it really just such a pleasant and relaxed vibe. The staff is kind, and generally just looks like they want to be there. The branding is amazing, the vibe is great, and the pizza is incredible!! We had the emma & care bear, they were unique and not like anything ive had before and I loved that. This is an instant classic wood fired pizza place that you'll be thinking about the next day. The arancini $15 was covered in a delicious fondue (not melty or sticky though) sauce. I'd absolutely get that again (but next time im getting the garlic knots lol). I'll be back for more! Nice having a pizza place that isnt wildly expensive, but is a different stratosphere from chain pizza places.

This place has the potential to be a really great pasta place. The bucatini with meatballs was top notch, with chewy strips of pasta in a rich and tangy tomato sauce, with 5 savory and tender meatballs, showered with crispy panko. The flavors were perfectly balanced. The caesar salad isn't prepared the typical way. Instead, finely shredded romaine lettuce is tossed with a somewhat bland dressing and Parmesan, again with panko. There were whole strips of anchovy on top, but overall the taste was kind of flat, and I didn't like the texture of the shredded lettuce. The Connie pizza was very rich and creamy, with lots of fresh spinach. But the pizza crust was pale, doughy and kind of flabby, and also kind of flat tasting. I'm also confused about the garlic knots that some people said were great. Again, not your typical hot garlicky bread knots. The bread was soft and wet, almost like they were boiled, not baked. The tomato sauce was delicious though. So I would definitely come back for the fantastic bucatini and meatballs, and also to try their other pastas. But the pizza dough is way off, and the other items were heavy and bland. I'm hoping future visits will prove to be at least 4 stars.

Have been waiting for this spot to open for months! It was worth the wait. Since they are new, certainly gave some grace while they work out some kinks. Went early for dinner (3:30) because we knew they don't take reservations. Glad we got there when we did. We were seated right away (a little awkward since there is no host stand at the main door so can't really determine if you should wait to be seated or not). By the time we were served our food every table was filled and there were multiple parties waiting to be seated. Started with the garlic knots which were tasty but not very warm and if there are more than two in your party you'll want to order multiples. Husband had the Kathy Pizza (pepperoni) and loved it! I had the Bucatini and it was delicious. The meatballs were so flavorful. Would have loved a bit more pasta itself on the plate. Service was really good and attentive. The place is small and can get really tight when crowded. Great atmosphere overall. They have a couple of larger tables for bigger parties. Will certainly be going back!

Definitely can see this becoming the neighborhood place, and because it's on the right side of the street it will be a great late night spot! Incredible customer service and energy was "out of this world!" Ainsley and his crew connected with all the customers when they walked in and thanked them as they walked out. pizza to light bites were so good. Light airy crust, big flavors and just the right amount of cheese on the pizza without making you feel bloated leaving. I enjoyed the Parmesan wings, meatballs and Arancini. All very very delicious. I ordered their twist on a Manhattan and enjoyed it. It's very black walnut forward, but still had the sweetness you look for. Another person in our party ordered the Negroni and also approved the cocktail! The bar isn't overly stocked with whiskey but there were some special pours including MMCA23 and WSR. Food Allergies gluten free options available!

Had to see what the buzz was about! So so delicious, the red pizza sauce here is to die for. We also tried their caesar salad and thought it could use a bit more dressing... Was a little dry. But the breadcrumbs on top were lovely. The inside is small, so you can expect a wait. The staff were awesome and efficient. I will definitely come back!

Noisy and packed! Which is a good indication of the deliciousness to come. Lorena was our super friendly waitress and the food was OUTSTANDING. Started by the owners of Mr. Paul's Supper Club, I would call it Gourmet Pizza and Pasta. Next time I want to try the Italian Chopped Salad.

A lively spot with a fun atmosphere and food that is done well if you can get in to enjoy it. Although it's been open for many weeks, I've only been here once because it is quite hard to get a table. This is in the heart of 50th and France in Edina so don't expect a cheap experience. But for your money, you will get a jam-packed, popular and casual spot with a full bar, a wood fired pizza oven, and a menu that leans towards Neapolitan pies and tasty pastas including a toothsome Sunday red gravy style Bolognese. The wine list is not large and is generally marked up about 250%. I kind of expect that from places located in this area. In my opinion, they chose some very mediocre Italian selections which is surprising given the quality of great wines available from that region. Buyer beware, select wisely. The food was great and my group really liked the calamari starter and their version of a chopped salad. Pizzas are hand made and fired. They got the dough and the chew correct. For my money, this is better crafted pizza than Lola and a bit more traditional too for the same amount of money. Reminds me of Punch with an air of exclusivity. What I was not a fan of is how hard it is to get into this place. There are no reservations taken and no clear place to wait without obstructing the door. It is not big so tables are at a premium and you should plan on a wait list. A long one. Given the lack of wait space, you are likely to need to wait outside or in your car. On my visit we waited over 80 min and finally just grabbed seats that opened at the bar as those are first come first served. I did notice that wave after wave of diners would come in and the operators seemed to know them personally. Eavesdropping led me to believe that a large number of patrons are in the restaurant industry and they seemed to get bumped up to the front of the wait list line because of knowing someone. I can't prove that but it certainly seemed like it and I had a good long time to observe this pattern occurring over and over. I filed that in my brain as "something that makes me go hmmm..." Overall, this a solid spot but one that I am unlikely to try to frequent simply because it is too much effort to try to get into. I am happy that this place is seemingly successful. But since I am not a restaurant industry insider, I just wish that I did not feel like an outcast waiting for a table.

We had an extremely long wait in a small entrance area, but the staff continued to check on us and keep us updated on our spot in cue for table. The Caesar salad was an impressive start to our meal with generous dressing although a little too salty. I wasn't sure what to expect, but they arancini was AMAZING - will order this again! We had shared 3 pizzas and had enough to take a slice home. They were the real deal and all had a unique flavor combinations that put them on top!

Excellent Pizza ! Great service - Great cocktails. My only suggestion is to add pizza by slice and a large size pizza to go. It would be great to see a large 16 inch pizza. 5 stars overall

The menu offers a variety of wood-fired pizzas, each named after the mothers of the team running the restaurant. I tried the" Also Kathy,"This pizza features a white sauce base topped with a cheese blend, chicken, bacon, ranch dressing, buffalo sauce, and celery, creating a harmonious blend of creamy, savory, and spicy elements. The star of the show for me was the Patsy adorned with ricotta cheese, prosciutto, arugula, olives, lemon, basil, and parmesan, resulting in a fresh and zesty flavor profile and I added hot honey sooooo good!! In addition to pizzas, the menu includes small plates like garlic knots and arancini, as well as homemade pasta. The cocktail selection is impressive, they have lots to choose from from wines to crafted cocktails. They also have an espresso martini on nitro tap! With its combination of delicious food, inviting ambiance, and friendly service, Mothership Pizza Paradise is a must-visit spot for pizza lovers.

Good food and friendly staff. We came in early since we knew it would likely be busy. It worked and we were able to snag a table right away. We had the garlic knots, the rigatoni, and a pizza. Everything was good and food came out fast! The rigatoni was my favorite - nice and saucy, lots of flavor, and good amount of meat in the sauce. It's a nice diner feel, so it's cozy nearing cramped. Lots of bar seating on one side and mostly two tops on the other. It worked for our family of three but I think it would be tough with a bigger party.

We were all so excited to go here. We did have an hour and a half wait, which wasn't ideal but that is what comes with a new place that doesn't offer reservations. Our server was great and was doing a great job for only being open for a short time. That atmosphere was very fun. Definitely was giving off cozy holiday vibes. We throughly enjoyed the calamari. Although the pizzas were good, We felt that both pizzas were missing something. We still haven't been able to pin point it. The espresso martinis are on tap - such a fun concept. They were alright, not the best we'd all had.

Umm.... YUM! This is such a fun cute new spot. From the owners of Mister Paul's. We decided on going for lunch as they don't take reservations. It's a small spot so be warned that if you don't time it right you'll be waiting for a while. We ordered a bunch of things to try and liked every single thing! Personal highlights for me were the garlic knots and the rigatoni. The food came out super fast and service was great. I can't remember our servers name but we had a blast with him! Highly recommend a stop here.

The strawberry basil gimlet ad paper plane drinks are a MUST! We waited for 10 minutes for a table, but could order drinks while waiting. The Italian chopped salad had delicious chunks of meat and cheese and hit the spot! We also had the meatball small plate. It had a little zip but was very flavorful. Food came out quickly and everything was DELICIOUS!

A place for flavor and saucy sauce.... Came to Mothership by the curators of Mr. Paul's Supper Club and was not disappointed. From the deep crates hip hop and Indy soundtr, to the large tvs with Sunday night football on, this place is a mix of the old with new. Great drinks and pasta, looking to try pizza when I come back. Will be back with bells on

What a great new pizza shop in the neighborhood. My son and I went out for a great date night (he is 5) and had a blast. We split a salad, pizza, and the knots and loved it all. I would highly recommend, be prepared for a long wait though, we showed up at 4:45 and it was still a 45-minute wait

My daughter in law and I visited Mothership for lunch. Today, they've been open for about 3 months. Our server was attentive and very friendly, answering our questions about the menu. We shared the Hillary pizza (plenty for two) and it was delicious! It was delivered quickly as well. This is a great space except it's not great for wheelchairs. We came in the front door after parking in a free lot about two blocks away. The other option was street parking which, with a wheelchair is extremely difficult to manuver. It also would have been very difficult to get from the lot to the restaurant in inclimate weather as we had to walk down the alley to get to the sidewalk. Great for able bodied people. Not so much for disabled people. Upon entering, we saw a long row of high tables . Luckily, there are some standard tables at the far end of the bar near the kitchen. It was a tight wiggle when we left because the seats at the bar and the row of high tables were full. Thankfully, a server offered to get the two doors for us on the way out. All that said, this is a neighborhood gem. We loved it and the open kitchen was clean and bright and the food was great. We'll definitely be back but we will have to plan our visit based on accessibility.

The pizza and pasta are truly awesome. We had the Also Kathy pizza which was sooo good and the Rigatoni again something special. Highly recommend. Our waiter was icing on the cake!

New Pizza hot spot. Will it be a Mpls best? It sure could be. Pizza was hot and beautiful. It took awhile to decide which pizza to try they all sound amazing. We started with a Cesar salad that is served with Anchovies on top. So good! We had the Care Bear, sausage with red sauce. It was perfectly charred on the crust. The sausage and cheese melted in my mouth, the fennel and basil complemented this light but delish pizza. I could eat the whole pizza myself, but I didn't. Next time I will do the Connie! A white sauce with creamed spinach. The drinks were fabulous, the service was great, our waitress was attentive and friendly and she let us know about the anchovies on the salad at the time of order, in case that wasn't our thing. This is a small place. Waiting inside the door is very crowded. People were waiting outside. For the 2nd week open on a bustling Friday night, the line went faster than expected. There is bar seating and tables. I like this new pizza place near 50/France. Good vibes, great pizza. I will be back.

We had a great lunch at the Mothership! When we came in, the restaurant was fairly busy and it wasn't clear if we should seat ourselves or wait. The bartender saw us and quickly helped us, and we decided to have lunch at the bar. We ordered the grilled vegetables, which were mostly carrots with tomato romesco. They were hot and delicious. We ordered a Kay pizza (margarita) and an Elizabeth. They both came out fast and hot! All of the toppings were fresh and mostly made in house. The combination of toppings on the Elizabeth pizza were great. Unfortunately, that pizza came out a little toasty on the bottom, so our wonderful bartender fixed it by replacing it with a new one in no time at all. Overall, everything was really good! We thought there might be a few kinks that need to be worked out, since the place is new. We will definitely be back to try it again!

Small restaurant, no reservations.. no online waitlist even though they use Toast and can totally make that available with the check of a box... they'd rather make you drive all the way out to out your name on the waitlist and then wait an hour so they can make room at one of their 10 tables.

After hearing about this place on line I had to try it. First of all the staff were super friendly and very attentive. We started off with the meatballs in a marinara sauce. They were delicious, a great starter. We split the Brenda with Red sauce, cheese blend, pepperoni, sausage, hot coppa, jalapeno, basil, parm. Super good. The crust was charred, crispy and chewy. Although a bit price, it seems right for Edina. I will be back.

LOVED this place! I'd recommend going earlier or later, as they do not take reservations, and it is rather small. Amazing staff, and even better pizzas!

Worth the wait! A wait is always a sign of good food. Pizza lived up to it! The Brenda was my favorite, meatballs and the chop salad were also a hit. No reservations, so get there, put your name in, and grab a drink at the bar or across the street.

This place is amazing. The food, the staff, the vibe, were all on point!!! I got the chopped Italian salad, which was awesome, and the rigatoni with homemade pasta! Highly recommend this place.

Well the pizza was excellent! We originally went to eat at the restaurant but it was PACKED (understandable with how delish it was) so we landed on takeaway. Definitely want to go back and get the full experience, highly recommend especially the Emma!
