Best Pizza Places in the Twin Cities

If you’re looking for a good slice of pizza or an entire pie, there are a lot of great local and chain pizza restaurants in the Twin Cities area. We may not have some of the classic places like say Chicago or New York may have, but we have a good selection of options. Here are a few of my personal favorites.

Punch Pizza

Punch Neopolitan Pizza is a Minnesota based Italian Pizza chain that prides itself on its homegrown ingredients and wood-burning pizza ovens. They try to strictly adhere to the Naples pizza style with centuries old cooking techniques and décor. If you’re looking for a Naples style pizza and the crisp taste of a wood-burning stove than you’ve got to try Punch Pizza. They have over 5 locations in the Twin Cities area so there is sure to be one near you.

Galactic Pizza

Galactic Pizza is probably more known for the way they delivery their pizzas than the pizza itself. According to the vision of Galactic Pizza, “When conditions allow, our food is delivered to your door using 100% electric vehicles” which means they often delivery their pizza in an arsenal of small, electric little go-cart looking vehicles. The drivers also are known to dress up in tight spandex like superheroes to add another fun twist to the boring delivery service. Besides the delivery method, Galactic is known for trying to run their small business as green and energy efficient as possible, as well as trying to purchase ingredients from local farms and even using hemp products to help the earth.

Pizza Luce

Now, Pizza Luce isn’t the best pizza around, it’s not bad either but it’s not going to make you write home to mom about it. What makes Pizza Luce, especially the downtown location, so special is its bar and its late night hours. Pretty much every weekend night around bar close you will find a line down the sidewalk of people looking to get a slice of pizza from Pizza Luce. You will often see cars leaving the club with bmw accessories as well as cops on horseback. It’s a great place to people watch and is often the scene of much drunken debauchery and revelry. Thanks, Pizza Luce.
