***PIZZA GOAT*** WOW!!! The best pizza I've had in my entire life!!!! the flavors are unmatched. I've never had this distinctive flavored pizza before. This is an Argentina style pizza, which is my first time having it. The crust is literally the best part and I don't even like crust on any pizza. The shredded cheese that they put on the pizza is very delicate very fresh. I can't wait to get other pizzas and try those other toppings. I also got the beef empanada and it was very fresh. Very good. I would rate that 10/10.. The empanada did not break apart when I took a bite into it. It was absolutely piping hot and it comes with a chimichurri sauce and you actually don't really need the sauce. You order at the register which is nearest the door and you find a place to sit they will bring out the food to you. There are stands with water, water cups, napkins, and plates. read more

I was immediately uncomfortable when I arrived because the first thing I encountered was a woman they hired, greeting us outside in an extremely revealing outfit, with sequin pasties and a thong-style costume. She then made her rounds around the restaurant, the two hours I was there. I found the presentation completely inappropriate for a restaurant. It felt more like something you would see at a strip club or Vegas nightlife venue than at a restaurant, and it was especially jarring at a 5 PM event. Honestly, I would have found it inappropriate regardless of the time. I'm Latina and all for a good, sexy time. But there is a time and place for everything. Beyond that, the restaurant was extremely crowded and hot, and they were already running out of food. Given the number of people there, the food situation was poorly handled. I also had an issue with my drink charge. It was listed as $9, but I was charged over $11, while my friend was charged only $10 for hers. That inconsistency was frustrating. Unfortunately, between the uncomfortable atmosphere, extreme crowding, heat, lack of food, and billing discrepancy, this was a very disappointing experience. I've since seen other reviews mentioning long waits, and after experiencing the chaos myself, I can understand why. read more

Found this on Yelp and walked over... a sign on the door said "Yelp event tonight". I must've just missed it. I have never been to a Yelp event in my 12 years doing Yelp. Tonight should've been that night. I ordered pizza and a local can of beer and it was good. I also bought ordered an empanada for breakfast tomorrow morning and had a little bite, it was ok. It is a big restaurant with plenty of space inside and out. They have a second floor I suspect they probably use when they're having a football game or event. They have a variety of high tops and comfortable booth seating options. The place has a bit of an unusual vibe... for a big restaurant they have a speaker you would get for a teenagers room blaring some sounds from one of the tables. The bar is massive with limited options. The bar has about 100 taps, none are flowing. I asked what happened and the food carrier mumbled something I didn't understand. As far as service goes, it's basic. You order at the counter. Someone eventually brings your food at some point. It wasn't too crowded and service was slow, about 45 minute wait for pizza. The guy that eventually came to my table, didn't acknowledge me. He mumbled 84, which was my number. I asked him for a bag for the empanada and said he would bring it back without looking up and never did. I would put the service barely above McDonald's and not as good as chipotle. Would I go back? No. Will it stay busy? Yes as it has good pizza cold beer and is right next to the stadium and the armory. Lastly, it is expensive. One small pizza and a beer was $42 with tip. Not sure what the tip was for. read more

Perfect spot to go to right before a concert. It is walking distance from the stadium and portions are huge! The menu is not huge but it has some really good options.

Boludo is serving Argentina pizza which has sauce that is on the sweeter side. I like it a lot because it stands up to the bold ingredients. I've been here a ton of times but always for take out. The restaurant is self service meaning you sit yourself and get your own water. It was really busy when we went but food came out in about 20 minutes for how packed the restaurant was. The empanadas are a must. I've tried most of them but the carne is my favorite. And the chimichurri is so good with a nice vinegar kick with fresh herbs The Campo pizza comes with chorizo, mushrooms, onions and mozzarella. The best part is the parmesan cheese they put on the crust. I would like the amount of cheese on the crust they show in pictures match what you get in person. Our pizza was really heavy on the mozz and not enough balance of the other ingredients. Also got the flan which has candied pecans and dolce de leche on top and the custard below. It tastes the best when you have a bite of everything but the jar they put it in makes it difficult. If you like flan it's a good dessert to try. read more

Came here for dinner. The "open" sign was not lite and I thought it was closed. It was not crowded. Sat down and table was dirty. Asked for it to be wiped. There seemed to be one guy taking orders at register and cleaning tables. A lot was self serve- order at counter, get your own utensils, water, napkins, to go box, etc They were out of red wine. Out of Malbec. How? Why? While ordering a few people came, picked up pizza, and went. The locals like the food but not a good dine in experience. I got the margarita pizza and my friend got the porteno pizza. We got the Jamon y queso and Messi empanada. The empanadas were the best I've had outside Argentina but they were not hot temperature wise. The pizza looked amazing but I found the sauce too sweet for me. My friends pizza was better because he had so many toppings to mask the sweetness. Missed opportunity on the wine sale! read more

This is a downtown outpost of a Minneapolis mini chain featuring empanadas and supposed Argentine magic touch added to their pizzas. While the picture looks enticing, the pizza is quite deflating. Labeled one of the best pizzas in town, makes me worried about the rest of Minneapolis. The dough us underproofed snd tasteless and the toppings taste of salt only. The hefty price tag of 20 bucks for a rather small pizza warrabts comparison it to Minneapolis' big brothers NYC and LA and the result is - not worth it. The space is located on a nice street adjacent to the commons park but plastic cutlery and dirty tables kill the charm. read more

Boludo - Pepperoni pizza - Argentine Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Boludo combines the ambiance of a beautiful sit-down eatery with the convenience of a fast-casual restaurant! You order at the counter and can grab your own silverware/plates/waters. The food was ready quickly and came out very fresh. The pizza is a little hard to eat because the cheese is so stringy, but it's so good. If you're sharing a meal with two people, I suggest ordering an empanada or two and one pizza to share so you can save room for their heavenly churro donuts. read more

Holy moly this pizza was so good ! I got the margarita pizza and it was amazing. They put a bunch of cheese on the crust and overall just hit. I will say the crust tastes different, I wasn't able to pinpoint it - almost sweet? I finished the pizza by myself. Only downside is they have a weird seating system where you pick a table then order. read more

Boludo - Margarita pizza - Argentine Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Probably one of the best parts of my Twin Cities trip. This place was so good that I ended up eating there two days in a row first thing in the morning. It's a humble-looking spot inside, but it doesn't lack in its food. Most is a self-service situation where you're choosing your table to sit at, grabbing your own water, and bussing your own table if you have the time. Casual spot with some interesting pizza. Boludo seems to be Argentinian-owned and family-run. I ordered the Porteño and asked for extra parmesan because of an Instagram reel I've seen with parmesan covering the crust. Due to a small misunderstanding, they ended up giving me something even better.... A fully parmesan-covered pizza. It was probably the best thing I've eaten that entire trip. Truly a great blend of salt, acid, fat, and heat. The second day I tried the Campo and tried to ask for the same cheese covering but ended up with the style I saw in the reel with the crust covered in cheese. It was still good, but not as good as my first order. They have a pretty solid Caesar salad as well! I would genuinely fly back to try this place again. read more

Boludo - Jamón Y Queso (Fried) Puerro - Argentine Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Boludo is an interesting spot Downtown - it seems to be in a space that doesn't really quite suit it, and the counter service aspect makes them truly apparent given everything else inside. The pizza was decent albeit a bit of a letdown for something I'd been looking forward to trying for awhile. The Campo was earthy, but a little too undercooked on this visit. The Messi empanada was way overpriced, especially considering it was more of a fancy hot pocket with a spice-filled dipping oil. This is a borderline 2-star review, which is quite below the usual for me, but unfortunately the food, the service, and the setting itself all left quite a bit to be desired. read more

Boludo - Campo - Argentine Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Casual dining but delicious food! I loved the set up they have within a beautiful location. You first pick a table, then order. I grabbed water and plates/napkins/silverware available but the staff was helping to do this as well. I like the fact that you can take what you need for your meal and get more water and napkins as needed. We had the cesar salad and fancy pizza with prosciutto and arugula. The salad has a lovely kick to it while not being too spicy. The pizza was delicious, slightly chewy but not too much, creamy, fresh and salty. I would definitely recommend this to fellow pizza lovers who like something that is both traditional to a culture and new to you. The booths and such are a little run down and torn up but overall still comfortable. read more

We came in after the Vikings game to wait out the crowds. Luckily we got there early and we're able to get a table before the masses came in. They had a date night special which includes 2 empanadas, 1 pizza, 1 salad, and 1 dessert. I honestly think this was enough for 4 people. We chose: Empanadas: Carne and Espinaca Pizza: Pepperoni Salad: De La Casa Dessert: Churro Donuts All of it was delicious! I did think the churros were a little more dense than I would have liked, and the caramel dip was thick, but over all still pretty good. The salad was phenomenal. It was a large serving and very flavorful! I loved the set up. They had water, plates, utensils, and boxes to serve yourself, but still brought the food out to you and picked up empty plates. This is the perfect set up to me, as I drink lots of water and hate bothering the staff. read more

My fave pizza lives here. For me, their pizza beats Rosalia by a hair. The pera pizza slaps! Pears, Gorgonzola, dill, and pine nuts is a winning combo. The empanadas are equally amazing. I've had both the carne and puerro. Omg, so good! I also love their De La Casa salad. Something about the candied pecans set it off, again with the Gorgonzola, yum. They have an awesome special for $49. You can try all of that plus pick a dessert. You get an empanada each, a huge portion of salad to share, a pizza to share, and for us we chose the churro donuts which was also a very generous portion. Had to take them home. Add a glass of wine, it pairs so well. You order at the counter, simple service and nice sit down, spacious spot at their downtown Mpls location. read more

My first visit to Boludo was a mixed experience. I didn't indulge in their most sought-after item, the pizza, but from an empanada perspective, I can't say I was entirely blown away. One of several marks that make an empanada spectacular is the filling-to-dough ratio. I'll seldom mention price as a factor because I enjoy paying for a good meal, regardless of what it is. However, quality and value are also important to me. I didn't feel that the quality of everything I ate made up for the value. I sampled the Messi, Pollo, and Carne. The pollo empanada was my absolute favorite as it definitely followed the empanada ratio-rule. Juicy, well-seasoned, and stuffed like a pillow, this chicken empanada was baked to a beautiful golden brown perfection, enjoyable from start to finish. The pastry dough was airy, crisp, and tender, with just the right thickness for the filling. I dipped this bite in their house-made Chimichurri sauce, which amplified the flavors of the chicken. I could've easily eaten several. 10/10, no notes. The Messi, Boludo's creation of a pizza empanada hybrid, was a bit messy. Because it's a fried empanada, the filling is steaming when you break into the empanada. The reggianito and mozzarella cheese filling ooze out, which may sound delicious, but along with a few slices of pepperoni, it's all the filling there is. So unfortunately, all of the filling fell on my plate, leaving me with empty empanada "husks" which I used to scoop up the filling. It was okay. I appreciate the attempt at an untraditional filling, but it wasn't a bite I'd necessarily suggest or order again. The carne empanada was the most disappointing of all. Stuffed with beef picadillo, ají molidos, and olives, this empanada crumbled at the first bite. Compared to the chicken empanada, which shares the same dough, there was a difference in taste solely in the dough. The dough of the beef empanada was chewy, dense, and very crumbly. The picadillo filling was abhorrently dry. It was an overall miss for me. Regarding the ambiance, I enjoyed my meal on their patio dining space while the sun was still toasty, which is an excellent option for people watching and enjoying views of the Twin Cities. This eatery is very casual. An option to consider if you're in the area and desire a quick, light bite. Offering counter-service only, you place your order, receive a number, and your food is brought to wherever you choose to sit. While there is no table service, drinks, cutlery, etc., may be brought to your table if you ask. The space indoors offers a few booths and tables for seating. There are lots of TVs inside playing different sports channels. Parking was challenging because there is only metered parking nearby, but Boludo is centrally located and also partners with a couple of food delivery services if you can't make it to them. read more

I came to this restaurant for the first (and last time) today august 6th. I ordered the pepperoni pizza extra well done. I waited for over an hour and they bring me a pizza in a box. I open the box and it's an ice cold pizza. When I returned the pizza and asked why they gave me a cold pizza after an hour wait, he says he didn't see me. total bullshit because he told me to pick my seat first when I walked in the door. needless to say I won't be returning and wouldn't recommend it to anyone... read more

I cam here for a work lunch and got the Espinaca empanadas, they were super yummy! The server was also fast and very friendly!

Boludo uses a fast casual style of ordering at the counter and food will be delivered to your table. I would suggest previous reviews on this place don't accurately capture the vibe. Ambiance is casual and more rustic at this location vs classy, trendy, or intimate. We tried Boludo during the recent heatwave and their AC could not keep up- it was pretty warm and uncomfortable inside to dine in. Perhaps this also tainted my view on the atmosphere. We ordered and shared the Porteno pizza ($24). It was a unique take on a pizza- sweeter sauce, lighter and fluffier dough/crust, and diamond shaped. It was good but not sure it was worth the value/price for size of pizza and overall product. read more

I don't travel to a new place and NOT try their pizza. Being from Buffalo, of course I think we have the best. Boludo would fit in perfect here, the pizza was excellent, absolutely loved it. We tried two, the Pera, which was pear and gorgonzola and the burrata and hot honey pepperoni! Both were delicious and surprisingly the Pera was my favorite! The crust was cooked the way I like, the toppings were flavorful. Definitely would be my go to pizza stop in MN. read more

We ordered takeout from Boludo while staying overnight in Minneapolis. We ordered two pizzas and an empanada. The pizzas were DELICIOUS. We tried the Pepperoni and the Sarandara. They were huge portions, the dough was perfectly crispy (but not dry and crunchy) and the flavors paired perfectly. I was anxious to try an empanada, since that's originally what drew me to try Boludo. I tried the Jamon Y Queso empanada, and was pretty disappointed. It was filled with fairly bland cheese and minimal ham. It tasted no different than a ham and cheese hot pocket, and not in a good way. I had a bite and didn't finish the rest. I would still try another, though, as I love empanadas! Try the pizza for sure! It is DELICIOUS! read more

Well, first off, not from around here, went to YELP of course for recommendations, about 4 hours earlier I made a trip to a BBQ place in the area, still sitting in my hotel kitchen practically untouched (bad decision) wanted to try a good.local pizza so brings me to Boludo, presentation obviously very different from the norm, ordered the Campo, cheesy, fresh, crust as it shuld be for type, but it didnt Wow me. I deff enjoyed it more than that BBQ tho. Ima be real,l kinda dissapointed so far on my Foodie adventures 2 weeks deep in Minn. read more

i actually have an unhealthy obsession with this place's caesar salad it's becoming scary. my boyfriend and i went on a random weekday night and got their date night special and oh boy was it SO WORTH IT!! it was $49 for one salad, two empanadas, one pizza, and one dessert. GET THE CAESAR SALAD! their dressing is freaking delicious and probably has become one of my favorite caesar salads in the twin cities. the empanadas are to die for, we got the jamon y queso and the corn one. both delicious!! and then for our pizza we got the portena! for dessert we had the flan and jesus christ i need to go back for this. it's so rich and creamy and they top it with cinnamon sugar walnuts and it's just so delicious. this place is such a gem. read more

I loved the theme and location of the place. Having the chairs outside is a really good option specially in that busy and pretty area. Loved to see that it was Argentinians running the place. The pizza was good. The crust was crunchy and the shredded cheese they used on top was what made this pizza go to the next level. The only thing that could be better is the amount of cheese on the pizza, but this may have been done intentionally since it's a brick oven pizza. Other than that, totally worth it! read more

So this has been one of my favorite pizza spots the last few years. They have a few different locations and I've been to the one downtown mpls and over south mpls. I love both but my recent visit was the downtown one. It is street parking and it's by the US Bank stadium so I usually do pick up. I have eaten inside before and its fine, people working their are always friendly and the food comes out quick. There's nothing special about the inside to make me wanna eat there though. I grabbed a few pizzas, pepperoni is my favorite! They have great empanadas and their donuts are delicious with the caramel sauce. Never a bad experience for my favorite pizza in Minnesota. read more

When we moved to Minneapolis, we had multiple people tell us to check out Boludo. Honestly, I'm mostly disappointed in how long it took me to go! I went solo, but should have brought a group so I could try more things! They had a small indoor seating area that was nicely air conditioned, and a great patio with a handful of tables. I ordered an empanada with corn and the Sarandara pizza. Honestly, I was expecting a personal-sized pizza and when it came out, I was blown away! The empanada was cheesy, crusty goodness -- you can tell from the picture! And the sauce that came with it was reallly good, lots of fresh herbs and a little spice. But the pizza -- omg. The melty cheese, the soft, chewy crust. It fed me for multiple meals and I was very happy about that. Order at the counter, service was fast and friendly. Will definitely be back! read more

Great place to stop by for a GREAT pizza. One we have " pera " has thin crust. With pear and Gorgonzola. You can smell the smokeybess from the fire. Even smells almost like smoke meat even though there's no meat in it. Must be the charred cheese. It's great. The salad is also amazing they gave you a tower of salad. Looks like a whole bag of salad went in there. And for the ensalada de casa, instead of croutons they have dehydrated raspberry. Genius! When you're here try the fernet with coke.

I stumbled on this place with my brother-in-law before a Rammstein show at US Bank Stadium. Now I make it a point to stop in before shows or games at the stadium! Their pizza is delicious and so are their empanadas. If you're not a sauce person you may want to go straight to the pizza, but the empanadas are amazing if you make sure to dip them in the sauce they come with. Service here is fine, you go to the counter and then they bring your stuff to your table via a number system. Other than that it's kind of a bus yourself situation. The decoration inside is great and if it's a nice day you can also enjoy the street side patio. All in all the location is amazing design is cool and food is great! read more
