Punch Pizza - Maple Grove

My wife and I stopped in for pizza, and a beverage. We also got a large Cesar salad to share. Pizzawise, she got the Maximus and added onions, I got the Toscano and added onions as well. She also got a chenin blanc, and I got a Sweet Child of Vine IPA from Fulton. We have been here multiple times and they have great service, fast as well! Love their pizza and would totally reccomend trying them out if you haven't! Also, I must have lost my scarf at the table as it was super cold out, my wife messaged them on their customer service center, and they found it! Big thanks again! Appriciated!

This is the second Punch Pizza location I have visited in the Twin Cities, and it was phenomenal tasting wood fire pizza, great location with an outdoor patio, and very friendly staff. If you love wood fire Neapolitan pizza, Punch pizza is a must try. Excellent crust, high quality toppings, and a great selection of classic pizza styles, as well as some unique and delicious pizza styles.

My whole family loves this place. They have a pizza for everyone. Clean, friendly staff and quick service. We haven’t been to a Punch location we didn’t like. Thanks for the consistent and delicious food!

Every time we are in Maple Grove, this is a staple and we need to stop here. Every single time we always get extra pizzas to bring home for us and my family. Their Vesuvius, If you like spicy it's amazing! I have very picky children and even my children love their pizza. There focaccia bread is also very good. You can get it with or without the rosemary. The staff are always nice and very friendly. Tells The staff are always nice and very helpful.

My first time here, mad I never went sooner. Super good. I might ask for it more well done next time, it seemed a little soft for wood fire pizza. Super fast service too. Decent price for wood fire pizza.

Very good oven baked pizza, one of the best restaurants I've been to in this niche. Excellent selection/menu, very good quality ingredients. The crushed pepper and the oils are absolutely perfect to add to any pizza. The atmosphere is great, moderate to loud noise levels. The environment is on the brighter side with the exterior windows and hanging lights. Friendly and accommodating staff. The restaurant has limited seating, and it fills up fast. Clean, inviting, great place for groups. My gluten-free only friend told me their gluten-free crust was good! However, for those with a serious condition, they do prepare all of the pizzas on the same station. There may be cross contamination, becarful.

They just got new gluten free pizza. No longer made in house, but the ingredients are still clean (I had them read me them). It’s still good because it’s the toppings that make it, but I was more of a fan of the original. The original was thinner and crispier like true Italian wood-fire, and the new one is thicker and doughier more like American pizza.

Had good service. Got a little confused with the ordering. Had a create your own and a #8. Both were good pizzas. The #8 was a little better just because it had more flavor but was slightly spicy. The cashier recommended the #8 and she did not steer us wrong. Overall and enjoyable spot but can say I've had better brick oven pizza. Would go back still. The oven was really neat and it was fun watching them make the pizza.

Great thin crust with choice of veggies and meat toppings. Great crust, service and wait staff.

I am a big punch pizza fan! For a chain pizza restaurant, they really know how to make good pizza! I like thin crust and love their Napoli style. I tried the Toto tonight, but I usually get the Napoli with pepperoni and onions and love it! I have to give them 3.5 - 4 stars because occasionally the pizza is too soggy. This one was perfect, but I have had many issues with droopy, wet pizza which is not good and very messy. When it's done right it is very good. Shoutout to their salads, too!

Always love punch pizza My go to order for years has been the margherita with spiced salami This location can get busy but they move fast The other day they gave us a free pizza as they messed up my husbands order so that was a nice unexpected touch

Met up with some friends a couple weeks ago and they recommended this place. It was my first time and I was excited to try. Located in the busy arbor lakes area with shared parking with other businesses. It was a good medium sized space inside and they have an outside patio in which we went for. It was a beautiful evening outside. We didn't know what to order at first, but the staff member helped have recommendations and we took them! I can't remember what exactly it was but we ordered 3 pizzas to share between 3 people haha. Service was fast and friendly. All pizzas were delicious. Just the right amount of crust/bread. I'd like to come back and try other options for sure!

Crazy delicious! Wood fired pizza made to your specifications right in front of you. What could be better? We ordered the Margarita Pizza, the Punch Salad without meat and they brought us flatbread and oils to our table. The pizza was fired perfectly. We asked for light mozzarella and it was just right. Even the crust was the perfect texture. We raved about the large portions. Artisanal crafted pizzas and salads that leave you satisfied and with leftovers. The staff was welcoming and friendly. We only waited maybe five minutes before they delivered our items to our table. They have created a fantastic lunch spot here in Maple Grove. We would love to come back the next time we are in the area.

My son chose this for his birthday meal. We shared a large Punch Salad and ordered a pepperoni and garlic Napoli and a mushroom Margherita. They forgot to put the garlic on so they gave us the mistake in addition to the correct pizza. I thought that was really great service. It just makes me want to go back because I know they treat you right. The place is cute and has a patio.

Never in my life did I think I would visit a pizza place because of their salads! The punch salad is always flavorful and fresh. The portions are plentiful for both a half or a whole. If vinaigrettes aren't your thing, you can swap the dressing with one of their other options. This has become a staple for our family. Best thing? There are several locations around the metro!

Good pizza ! Stopped in Sunday Enjoyed a couple of pizzas and salads along and a little vino with my family. Good service thanks punch! Love ya

I'm a sucker for wood fired pizza... so this place had me at "Hello". They have some unique combinations of toppings that may be a custom build at other places, and they also have the option of building a custom order. They have a good dough that is both thin and crispy, and at the same time chewy. Mmmm. Seating options include indoors and outdoors. We sat indoors and the booths are larger than a typical restaurant booth. 6-8 adults could easily sit at a booth here. Service was provided with a smile, our questions were promptly answered and the food was delivered quickly. To go containers are readily available without needing to ask. I ate here with a group from work, however I would return to eat here again.

Punch is always really good. This location is larger than so E of their other ones and they still only have one pizza oven. As a result, during busy times it may take a few more mins to get your pizza or seating may be busy (they have a patio). Some slight menu changes but still good pizza at a good price. Just be aware of the type of pizza you are getting - it's not Dominos or MN style, it does not travel or reheat very well. Best enjoyed there and I prefer not sliced (they will ask) so it doesnt gwt soggy!

Visited punch pizza with a group of 14 people, they seated us within 5 minutes. It's a busy busy Sunday but they are moving things quick. The pizza was amazing and gets me excited to visit Italy someday. My order was accidentally put in incorrectly at the beginning but then they made up for it by refunding me one of the pizzas and letting me keep the 2 they messed up... which was still really good pizzas. Overall the ambience, the staff and the flavors they have are amazing. 100% recommend

The crust of the pizza is amazing. If you eat in punch there's free olive oil and balsamic at the tables. If you take it to go you have to pay for the side cups.

Had a take out order today and the service was spot on. The young lady with the pink hair is a rockstar. She was in lock step communicating with her team, showed hustle and was very kind. I watched her flawlessly handle an upset customer. She Apologized, was empathetic and fixed the issue that was really no fault of anyone. She could put on a clinic for customer service. A++ + the food is superb

Hands down still one of the best pizza restaurants in town. A+. we ordered online from the phone for pickup

Kinda a small location seating wise but the pizza was well worth it. Their stone oven never disappoints! It is not full service but they will bring you your food when it's done.

I love punch. i love their pizza, salad, desserts. I love the ambiance of the restaurant and the employees are always decent/nice. only took a star off because the food always takes like an hour to come out

I always love Punch Pizza (if I do say so myself, it's best to dine in). They have plenty of options, toppings, drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks) and side dishes to try. Parking is per usual at this part of Maple Grove, there is reserved parking in the lot as well as parking on the side/by the front doors. Thank you for amazing pizza that is super fast!

Fun quick date night stop with the hubby! They are so fast the oven is like 900 degrees so your pizza is fully cooked in 60 seconds.

We always go to Punch Eden Prairie but I was in MG and picked up two pizzas to go. Kind of disappointed as both of them were a little burnt but one was way worse. At EP, they would've definitely made a new one Update- super prompt response from the manager, the service and resolution was more than five stars. Thanks Punch!

If you want a quick super tasty meal run to Punch. It is the closest thing to an Italian pizza you can get. My husband says, "It's the real deal!"

Best go to pizza for my taste . I highly recommend. Great for any time of day. I also like there choices of wine .

Punch Pizza is my go-to spot for quick meetings with friends. It's a sneaky little place and sometimes I forget that it exists but I always end up back there eventually. It's pretty cute and straightforward but I can also see how it can be confusing. It looks like you're supposed to stand at the glass similarly to how you would at Subway but I usually just walk up to the cash register and communicate my end goal. I always end up with my pizza so I must be doing something right. If there's supposed to be a different process I have no idea what it is. Anyways... I like Punch Pizza because the pizza is good. It's uniquely thin, so I prefer to roll it up or fold it in half to eat it. Anything you order will taste good and one personal pizza is equivalent to one serving in my book. They bring your pizza to you and the restaurant has a cozy vibe. It's definitely somewhere I would like to hang out during the day with a group of friends. I don't like Punch Pizza because I can barely ever find a chair. This is not the worst problem to have so they leave this review with 4/5 stars. Not bad, sneaky Punch Pizza. I'm hoping to make this more of a regular lunch spot in the future.

900 degrees and 60 seconds is what is advertised. 40 minute wait to get one pizza is what I got.

I love the taste of Punch Pizzas. The fresh wood-fired pizza is crunchy and soft. They use all fresh ingredients and the product is high quality. I also like being able to order and pick up hot from the oven in 15 minutes. They also have upgraded ingredients and you can pick your toppings. I love being able to get Kalamata olives, fresh mozzarella cheese chunks and artichoke hearts on my pizza. I also like that I don't have you order the usual red sauce. It is my go-to pizza place when I am in town.

Fresh ingredients! So light, delicious and yummy! Love the soft, chewy crust with a nice smoky flavor. The most "authentic" pizza you'll find made with good ingredients and with simple flavors. Love that there is balsamic vinegar and olive oil available on each table to complement the delish pizza. Awesome service, lovely indoor seating and outdoor patio! Best pizza in town and one of the best locations in town!

I made a yelp account just to review this. The food is amazing and the customer service is also so good. I literally don't think I can think of anything bad about here.

I really dislike Pizza but OMG I LOVE Punch best ever ever ever it is always on point of perfect, delish , delight , warm and yum!

Pizza, real pizza the way it was intended to be made, from my homeland! Love it! I have read reviews from people that don't like Punch because it's not some giant, dripping with tons of cheese, rock hard crust type pizza. To me that is not a bad thing. I do love the odd traditional American style pizza loaded with a bunch of crap and oozing with cheese and meat. Hell the next morning that can be the best ever, fresh from the fridge or counter hangover meal but that is a different creature! Like good authentic Italian food this pizza is about good ingredients and simple flavors. The crust is soft and tender with a nice smoky flavor. The pie is simple as it should be. I had a pepperoni with black olives, capers and garlic. The sauce is a great basic tomato sauce with basil. I could taste everything on this pizza and the flavors together were perfect! This is a new location and despite the fact they have gone to the Mall-feel sort of place its open, comfortable and the pizza comes out of that wood fired (not gas fired with a bunch of wood stacked around it as décor) in under 10 minutes. I'm glad there is one close to home and I am very glad it's a Punch. Viva Italia! KT

Firstly, I have always loved this place. Ever since I first tried it. This past Tuesday was the first time anything slightly "off" happened. I came in with my Fiance for lunch. When i got my Pizza back to our table I found a blue string on my pizza that had obviously made it through the cooking process. I let management know and was really pleased with how I was taken care of. Not only did they graciously make another pizza, the manager also gave me a coupon for a free pizza, even though i told them it was completely unnecessary. My complaint wasn't a means to get anything free, in fact I didn't even think it necessary to scrap my original pizza. It was just a string, not a human hair or anything. So the response I got was both surprising and made both my fiance and me very happy. Thank you to the great staff of Punch Pizza in Maple Grove, MN. You guys are AWESOME and I will enjoy coming back often when I'm in Maple Grove.

The wood fired oven is truly what makes the pizzas so great making the crust light, and airy while maintaining the flavors of the sauce, seasoning and toppings. You can't go wrong with really anything on the menu, but if you're feeling adventurous, I would say a must-have would be the chopped Italian salad, pulcinella style! The best way to describe it would be having the salad stuffed into the crust/bread. Needless to say, there's no way you can create the same thing at home unless you have both a wood oven and the skill/artistry to create the perfect crust!

One of my absolute favorite pizza joints in Minneapolis. Their care for their employees and their customers is honestly so impressive during these strange times. They have a great set up and their online ordering is great to. The previous 1 star reviewer has the right to take their business where they want and believe what they want. However they also have the right to be a pretentious loon which I consider them to be. Keep up the great work Punch Crew PS the salads now come bigger with FULL focaccia!!!

Nice and there is good pizza. Yes it is the very the good I recommend help my family is being left hostage!

One of the best pizza places in MN. The wood burnt pizzas taste so authentic and healthy in a way. They have got a good speedy serving time. The place is always buzzing with people and doesn't burn your pocket with the menu choices.

Drove into Maple Grove and decided to stop at Punch Pizza for lunch. Great service, great pizza. One of my favorites.

Punch Pizza is one of my favorite places to enjoy a cheesy treat. I order a plain and simple, Margherita Pizza, and add oregano. They have olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and salt and pepper available to you by the drinks area, which is a nice touch. I have been to Punch Pizza in Eden Prairie and had a sup-par experience compared to the one in MG. However, whichever Punch you go to, I would recommend that you dine in as the pizza is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. Staff is friendly and on top of their game - or at least the lunch shift is. I've only ever been here during that time. Definitely worth a try.

A way to a girl's heart is through her stomach. Bring me a Bruni from Punch & you'll have my heart. This type of pizza isn't for everyone, but it's definitely for me. Love the soft, chewy crust. My inner OCD loves to eat my pizza with a fork too. I really like their salads as well. Simple, but delicious.

This is one of the most overrated places I've ever been. You walk through the door and stand in line twenty minutes to order your 90 second pizza. Then you huddle around the drink dispenser until a server seats you. Weird, but whatever. Seemed to work out well enough. Then your pizza is brought out. Burnt on the bottom and barely melted on the top. Mmmm. Just how I like it (sarcasm). I added garlic to my pizza, assuming it would be minced roasted garlic or something of the like. Nope. Huge chunks of raw garlic. If that's not enough to make you choke, the pizza itself looked like someone had come through after the fact and dumped a half cup of olive oil over the top. Nothing had any real flavor. There was nothing noteworthy about this place. I would have to be paid to give it another shot.

Oh what a joy it was to FINALLY get around to trying this kind of pizza. Truth be told, I've always resisted the desire to try Neopolitan pizza. I can't explain why, but, I think its the unwavering desire for deep dish in me that keeps me from these kinds of places. Well, finally gave in Sunday and it was amazing. The ordering process was very different for me. I've never been through a cattle drove to order pizza before, but, that was kind of interesting and funny. Grab a menu, wait in a Chipotle'esq line and wait to get to the cashier to tell her what you want. Not a bad setup. I ordered the siciliana (Prosciutto, artichoke, picholine olive, basil) and the woman ordered the Maximus (pepperoni, red peppers, olives, and basil). We also got an order of the rosemary focaccia. Took a stroll out to the patio to sit in the amazing weather we had that day, which was a great little touch considering the location is at Arbor Lakes and it's not possible for each spot there. The focaccia was amazing. I mean, just amazing. I love bread and considering it's devoid on my normal diet, I take any chance to indulge on treat meals and this was a damn fine indulgence. We did throw down some olive oil and vinegar too just for a little extra. My two complaints of the bread however, some slices were entirely over salted. I mean, to the point I had to brush some off because the salt was just overpowering. Also, I'm a fan of having some sauce to dip my bread into. Not having the option on the menu or being asked about a dipping sauce kind of sucked. I'm sure some of their house made crushed tomato sauce would have been killer on this. Onto my pizza. Loved every bite of it, for however long it actually lasted. The saltiness from the prosciutto to match the cream/salt of the mozz and olive was perfect. A perfect crust that was crunchy yet had the perfect chew. I only wish I had a bit more of the sauce on their to compliment things. The sweetness of their crushed tomato sauce, when I did get a hint of it, was amazing. But, maybe an extra little bit was needed to send this pizza into the stratosphere. The Maximus from my girlfriend, which was tough getting her to share with me, was a great pizza. Definitely on the spicy side, so, be warned of this one if you have a sensitivity to spice. The pepperoni and crushed red peppers were great together and the hint of basil you get is perfect. It does get a bit oily though with the pepperoni and that sog's (yes a made up word) up the crust a bit. So, eat it fast. Overall, a solid place and can't wait to stop in again to try another one of their creations or customize my own.

Heard this was as good as Blaze Pizza so was so excited to give it a try. Experience was good, food was average. First off, walking into the restaurant you get great smells right away. You can smell the fresh dough throughout the restaurant. As you walk in, you enter the line that goes down the side of the restaurant. Then, there's a giant board with a menu for the pizzas that you can view and order at the counter. Pizza takes about 15-20 minutes which seems odd because it wasn't that busy when I went, but there must be a reason for that. Biggest complaint- no pineapple on the menu. Honestly, pineapple is so talked about on the web that it's shocking to me it's not included as an option. I understand they're trying to be "authentic", but if so then many of their toppings wouldn't be an option. When the pizza came up, it was super soggy. Cheese fell off while eating it which was a bummer since it's so so floppy. Luckily the pizza tasted good and the flavor was there, but it's about half the size of Blaze pizza and about $4 more per pizza. Overall, experience was okay. Food was average. There was ample seating which was nice and the ambiance is nicer than chains like Blaze, but pizza takes a while. Definitely worth a try, not somewhere I'd continue to come back to though since the price to quality ratio just isn't there for me.

So happy a Punch pizza was opened by us! Neopolitan style pizza is my favorite and even though this is a chain, one of the best I have had in MN to date. Husband and I shared a Siciliani which we added sausage and the hazelnut panini for dessert. Pizza is the perfect size for us, we both got 3 slices each. You get Italian sausage crumbles (yum!) and I love prosciutto and artichokes on a pizza. We literally inhaled the pizza and each had a piece of the dessert panini. Think Nutella spread in between thin crust that made up the panini/bread part. Really gooey and tasty.

Worst service ever. We watched 6 other parties behind us get served first! Not worth the wait for overpriced average pizza!

I love punch (period) Awesome Pizza and they raised the minimum wage they paid their employees to 10 bucks an hour! Punch is hands down my favorite pizza joint in the Twin Cities!

Great crust. Their flavors are new to me anyhow and they taste great. Everything was cooked right. We got 2 nice pizzas for about $25 which I'm happy with.

Yum this place is pretty dang good. I'm vegan, and I always appreciate when a pizza place has a marinara pizza on the menu. This one is delicious: sauce, basil, and roasted garlic. I added roasted red peppers and eggplant, and it made for such a savory pizza. I visited during a pretty busy time on a Sunday afternoon and I found the service to be good. The line moved well and there were tables inside and outside, and someone came over right away to make sure our table was clean. All in all, took us a little less than ten minutes to get our pizza and it was well worth the wait! I just moved to somewhere not far from here, and I am sure I'll be back soon!

absolutely terrible. gross and soggy and wet. took 30 minutes to come out when there was near to no people here.

The pizza is always great! Light, delicious and you don't have pizza regrets afterwards. The staff is always friendly and ready to answer any questions a newbie might have. Pizza in less than 10 minutes...even when we've been there on a busy night. The outdoor patio is our favorite place to sit.

I've been going to punch for 15 years... back when they only had their wayzata location. Still my preferred location. Maple grove has no seating during busy times. People are rude and take the only large booths (big enough for families) and leave no seating for bigger groups. Staff does nothing to remedy this during extremely busy times. Food is always great but sometimes one persons takes much longer to come out than the others which is disappointing. Will still continue to come back.

Today was our visit to a Punch Pizza. We walked in and were a little clueless on where to go and how the process worked. The staff just looked at us like we were idiots. Would have been nice if someone welcomed or directed us. We ordered a sausage pizza and Cesar salad. The cashier was not friendly at all, and apparently you can get different crusts? I'm not really sure what we got. The food was pretty good so I guess there's that. Pizza had a lot of oil but it was fine. The food runner was extremely friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. Kudos to her, put her on the register, so your guests get a good first touch.

This is a walk up and order place- and the staff was courteous and friendly when we arrived. We went with two adults and two kids. We ordered three pizzas... Two basic and one specialty. We also got two sodas. The pizzas are very fast cooking- like a minute in the oven. The first one I tried was a Napoli with pepperoni. It was ok. I liked the crust well enough, but when I grabbed my slice a bunch of toppings slid off the piece. The first bite was extremely salty. I think it could've been the meat but wasn't sure. Overall this was not that great. Next I tried a Margherita with Sausage. This was our least favorite. Kids only took a bite. They didn't like it at all. I thought the sausage was really salty and pretty blah overall. Last we had the Toscano. This was ok but again had some of the sausage on it. Not impressed. Not very flavorful pizza. We were not very happy with the food. We will not go back. We've also tried Blaze Pizza and found that to be similar, but much better. Instead of leaving a whole pizza we ate all of our pizzas at Blaze.
