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

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

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 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

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 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

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

Came here when I visited the city. It's not what I expected for pizza. I would call it more a flat bread. The sauce was very sweet. The bread was very thin and crispy.

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

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

We went there before the Vikings game and luckily got in and a table just before the rush. We had pizza, beer and a few shots. According to my daughter the shots were reasonably priced and I thought the beer was too. The pizzas came quickly and were really good. We had pepperoni and a prosciutto, cheese and arugulas pizza. Would definitely go again. Everybody knew their job and food arrived quickly. read more

Delicious ! We had the Messi empanada and the pepperoni pizza and both were fantastic!! Loved it!

Ordered a pepperoni pizza before a concert at the Armory. I was able to grab a table outside and enjoy the nice weather while also getting the opportunity to monitor the line to enter the venue. The pizza was delivered to my table and the server was great about getting me a box and checking in on me, even though I don't think their section was the patio. As for the pizza it was a great wood fire pizza crust. Plus really cheesy which is always a plus. 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. Great combination It's pretty much self serve. But staffs are super friendly read more

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

One of the coolest food combos in the area! We had a mix of their pizzas and empanadas and everything was delicious. Definitely recommend getting some of both and trying each as they all over delivered. One of the surprising winners was the Puerro empanada, definitely a top tier item on the menu so do not sleep on this one! For pizza it was the Peras pizza that really over delivered. The people there are really nice and helpful when deciding what to get and I love the vibe of the inside. read more

This is similar to a fast food place. You order at the counter and have to go to another counter to retrieve your own plates, silverware, and water. There are no prices on the menu, probably to conceal it's $20 for a small pizza. The pizza crust was very sweet and there were only two or three pieces of basil on the entire margarita pizza. There was unpleasant, extremely loud music during dinner. The decor was odd and a little messy. I regret walking into this place. read more

Came here on a Thursday for dinner and was pretty surprised about the layout. You walk in blocked by the front counter and half the building seemed closed off. Food was great! We ordered a Peras pizza, Campo pizza, and Cesar salad. The Cesar was very strong in the lemon flavor and the lettuce was fresh and crisp. Never had a pizza with pears on it before but it gave a nice sweet flavor to it. The Campo pizza looked unique but had a very similar flavor to a sausage pizza. The crust/bread of the pizzas tasted great ~ we usually leave the crusts of pizza but this time we ate it all! Service was a little lacking as it seems like you're serving yourself even though you're charged a service fee. You take the menu, choose your own seat, walk back up to order, and there's a sign that wants you to bus your own table after. 5/5 for food ~ minus one star for the other aspects. Still would recommend. read more

This was a very unique restaurant experience! We came right after the Vikings game, and despite it being located close to the stadium, we were seated within a few minutes. I had a carne empanada and my husband had a humita. We both really enjoyed them! We also got the campo pizza, and it was incredible. We loved the crust, it was so crispy and perfectly cooked. It had a scent of cinnamon, so I wonder if they add that to the crust. The sauce was fantastic, it looked like a simple blend of rich Marzano tomatoes. The self service model was interesting, we weren't expecting it. There wasn't really an explanation that it was self service, there was a line to the register but it would have been nice if they would've mentioned that when we were sat. I think it was a good idea though, because they had the food out fairly quickly with as busy as it was, and things were bussed from the table quickly, so I think they save time with the self service. read more

I've been wanting to try Boludo for quite some time now and I was... very underwhelmed. I figured based on menu prices and how elevated they show up online, that the restaurant experience would match --- it doesn't. When you enter the restaurant, it's RIGHT next to the kitchen, weird. Then, we were instructed to order at the counter, pick the table number we wanted to sit at, and then sit down. Also, half the restaurant is closed off -- it looks like it was an old bar that they very quickly shifted tables to make into a pizza shop. After ordering a pepperoni pizza, sarandara pizza, a ceasar salad, and 2 beers, we were prompted with an automatic 18% gratuity. Mind you, you have to get your own plates, napkins, silverware, boxes for leftover food, water, etc. I'm all for tipping based on service and quality of food (or if I was getting it delivered), but an automatic 18% gratuity before even trying the food/drinks, having to order from the counter, setting my own table, cleaning up my table, etc. it's just not a good way to keep customers coming back. In terms of the food, the ceasar salad was the best thing we had. Very lemon-y, crisp lettuce, and just the right amount of dressing. The pepperoni pizza was good, but the sarandara was bland -- it's basically glammed-up cheese bread. The crust on both the pizzas must have been sprinkled with salt or something because they were SO salty -- not in a good way. I also noticed the middle of the pizza was wet like the dough was soggy. It's almost like the pizza sauce has so much water in it that the dough can't hold it, so it causes it to get soggy. Overall, I'm glad we tried Boludo but I won't be back, nor will I recommend it to my friends/family. read more
