Best pizza in MinneapolisHow do these rankings work?
1. Pizzeria Lola
Their pizzas are cooked in a wood-fired oven and come with a thin and crispy base and wonderfully spongey classic Italian-style crusts.
What makes their pies really stand out is the love, imagination and colour they put into their toppings. Their pizzas look like works of art that are nearly too good to eat. Nearly!
2. Black Sheep Coal Fired Pizza

They also serve other great dishes along with cocktails and some divine desserts, but you come here for one reason and that is the pizza. Unimaginably good.
4. Pig Ate My Pizza
These pizzas have an amazing crust, soft, chewy, and the right amount of char.
They have weekly specials which come highly recommended, one of our favorites is peach & chong up in smoke made with smoked peach sauce, bacon lardon, honey goat cheese, pickled peaches, micro cabbage, peach vinaigrette spritz, and crispy garlic, yum!
5. Wrecktangle Pizza
Wrecktangle Pizza does a Detroit-style pizza, a thick, but light crust with a focaccia-like chew. The edges of crispy cheese are part of what makes this style of pizza making so delicious.
They have a plethora of ingredients from curly pepperonis topped with a hot sauce spiked honey, to a pizza topped with tater tots and creamy mushroom sauce.
6. Red Wagon Pizza Company
They make all their own dough, which once cooked in their wood-fired oven results in one of the best bases you will ever taste.
Served in a relaxed and informal setting, this is the ideal place to bring family or friends for a serious pizza treat. You’ll soon be a lifetime fan, as so many are.
7. Surly Brewing Co.
If you’re in the mood for a New Haven-style a’pizza, this brewery and taproom is all a hot spot for pizzas. They ferment their dough using yeast from their own house brewers and char it until pure perfection.
Toppings include spinach goat cheese spread, pepperoni or burnt honey.
