Football Pizza has been on my list for a long time, and I finally got to try it last night. Ordered the house special (pictured) which included beef, onions, and peppers -- one of my favorite combinations on a pizza. We also had the meat lovers with gyro, beef, and chicken, which was delicious. The way the pizza was cut allowed for crispy slices in the corners and softer slices in the middle. Will definitely come back and try other pizzas. read more

We recently gave this location of Football Pizza a try after having had the Eagan location a few times--and to be honest, it didn't quite measure up. We ordered the XL House Special and the cheesy garlic naan. While it was okay overall, it just wasn't as fresh or flavorful as we've come to expect based on our experiences in Eagan. The ingredients didn't pop the same way, and the overall execution felt a bit underwhelming. Knowing how good Football Pizza can be, it was a little disappointing to not get that same quality here. That said, it wasn't a bad meal--but it also wouldn't be my first, second, or even third pick when I'm in the mood for pizza. If I'm craving Football Pizza, I'd specifically make the trip to the Eagan location. They've consistently delivered on flavor, freshness, and overall quality. read more

The pizza is good, but really you go for the sauce. The "spicy green sauce" is not actually spicey- it's more vinegar than anything, but it tastes great when added to their pizza. We have only ever gotten take out, but the staff is always very friendly, and our order is always ready on time. There are huge freezers of frozen pizzas and dough, too, so you can stock up your house. We order the XL pizza, and it basically feeds 2 adults for 2 meals, it's that big. We do always order extra sauce, though, so that we don't run out and fight over it. I have never eaten at the restaurant,. but they do have casual seating in the second half. read more

Good portion size. The Africian food is very good. Pizza is okay, very good portion

Visited Football Pizza on Sunday evening while in the area visiting my close friends. We've been to the Eagan location before and enjoyed it, so we were excited to try this one out for a comparison. Unfortunately, it didn't quite hit the mark. I thought the pizza was undercooked and lacked flavor, which was a real letdown. It just wasn't as satisfying as we remembered from the other location. We also ordered the cheesy garlic flatbread, but that was a miss too. It lacked the rich, gooey cheese and bold garlic flavor we were expecting. Instead, it felt pretty bland. Overall, this location didn't live up to the experience we had at the other Football Pizza, and I wouldn't make this a go-to spot. Maybe it was just an off night, but I won't be rushing back anytime soon. Service was fair. This NE location is definitely smaller in the inside for dinning in, but the menu is the same. read more

Looking for a new pizza to try, give Football Pizza a try. If you've ever wondered what gyro meat on a pizza would be like, I highly recommend it! They have plenty of other great toppings, but don't go looking for any pork products, they don't serve that there at all! And do not skip on that green sauce they give you, it's ridiculously good! Plenty of other options besides pizza, but personally that's what I think they do best there. Plenty of seating available, and large groups are not a problem. They're always friendly at the service counter, especially if it's your first time there. read more

Read this carefully, as it may not make perfect sense... I am lucky that I don't live nearby or even within the delivery range of Football pizza. I would be a significantly heavier, much poorer person. This place has uniquely amazing pizza! I got the house special and one of each of the sauces. First thing first - this pizza blew my mind. Soooooo good! I'd go so far as to say it might be the best/my new favorite. Second, holy sauce heaven! I am going to have to buy some of the big bottles after this experience... The green is delicious. The red is probably my favorite as it tastes great and packs a punch. The white was also tasty, but takes third place in my opinion. I planned a special trip to the Minneapolis location for a Sunday lunch. If you find yourself in the area or you are blessed to be in the delivery radius -you MUST check this place out. You won't regret it... or maybe you'll get addicted and you will... I'd say it's worth taking the chance! Just don't blame me for leading you to this gem. read more

Service was great! Hanada and Suleiman went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable. They even lowered the tv volume for me when I asked. The pizza (Spicy Meat-Lovers) was not up to its usual standard. Tasted good, but it didn't have the unique taste that would keep bringing me back for more Football Pizza. I think the recipe has changed. There was less meat also. I hope they return to the original recipe. This used to be my most favorite pizza place in all of the US; my husband was saying we need to look for a new favorite now read more

I thought Chicago dominated the halal pizza market but I was wrong. Football Pizza is in the same league. We ordered the meat lovers pizza and the crust was the perfect thin crust. The restaurant serves the pizza with two sauces. Drizzle the green sauce and it makes the pizza even more flavorful. We did not get a chance to order the other entrees but hopefully next time. The restaurant decor is a little old and the chandeliers do seem out of place in a pizza joint. However, the staff was so nice and the service was quick. There is street parking available but it can get crowded. read more

Best pizza I've had in a long time. Delicious crust, tasty sauce and that cheese pull, yum. Pairs really well with their green sauce. I ordered the build my own option, which was peperoni, hot peppers, and green olives. I was going to add pineapple but I'll be back for that. I also had chicken wings, which were fire, and a mango guava bubble tea. read more

After many times of trying food from their menu, I finally have remembered to make a review! I first tried their food several years ago at a catered event. There was a variety of Afghani food including rice, chicken and beef shawarma, and salads. I absolutely love everything I've tried and it's all packed with flavor. However, to me, the star of the show is their pizza. It's created on fluffy but thin dough reminiscent of naan. I've tried the meat lovers and the house special and both are amazing! There is a perfect ratio of meat, veggies, cheese, and sauce. My favorite part about their pizza is their green dipping sauce. It's slightly tangy, slightly spicy - and pairs perfectly with the pizza. It elevates it to a whole different level. I love their food so much that I actually ended up catering their food and booking their event room for one of the days of my south Asian multi-day wedding functions 4 years ago. Everyone had nothing but good things to say about their food. read more

Let me start by saying, I really wanted to love this place. I've heard great things, and the reviews speak for themselves. I'm hoping this was an off day, and not a reflection of the overall quality. I ordered two pizzas a few weeks ago. One pepperoni and green olive, the other the house special. Portion sizes are generous, so that's a plus. The gyro pizza is a unique offering. And spoiler alert - the sauce you get with each pizza is the show stopper. I felt like both pizzas were just ok. They tasted like pizza. It's hard to go wrong there. But nothing really jumped out at me. The crust was particularly bland, so I'm glad they provided a little cup of the green sauce to help spice it up (literally). The service seemed nice enough. These were for carry-out, so it's hard to go wrong there. Would I order here again? Maybe. Is it my first choice? unfortunately, no. read more

Service and friendliness of the staff was the highlight. Food was pretty good although I wish the jalapeños were a bit more spread out and the ordering process was confusing. I used the slice app so I wouldn't say the confusing is on football pizza themselves. read more

If you want to try a unique take on pizza in the cities, try football pizza. Formerly crescent moon bakery. Their signature house special in the shape of a football is good for a family of four. Reasonable prices and good food. You can get the pizza with their special spicy sauce if you like that. Clean restaurant to sit and eat. And the staff is helpful and courteous. They also have other items in their menu besides pizza but I have never tried anything other than the pizza. They also offer their pizza frozen so you can take hone some and make it when the craving hits. read more

Not a good experience person at counter in a phone dispute and didn't not acknowledge me the customer. He was in a dispute about another order !!! I ordered the gyro sandwich meal, and the meat burned and black..bread dry brittle and crumbling.. seems old. It's lunch time no customers (1st sign) this was my first time ordering from this place and last time. Should realized this was not going to be good from the phone conversation! Look at how dark and dry this meat is terrible.. but hey judge for yourself! read more

Came here with my family and my husband's brother's family and our 4 kids. Great meat and my SIL gushed over the rice. My son and his cousin ate an insane amount of pizza and then cousin announced "this is my favorite restaurant." (Maybe helped that place is big enough for kids to run around.) I appreciate that the menu is varied--adventurous eaters like my husband had the goat curry, several others stuck with pizza! read more

A beyond excellent choice for takeout pizza. My favorite is "The Catch" - with beef pepperoni, mushrooms, and green peppers. The green sauce is SO GOOD.

Was craving some pizza after hitting the driving range at Columbia and decided to finally try Football Pizza after hearing and reading about it a few times. Convenient location on Central Ave. near Lowry in northeast Mpls, Football Pizza offers more than just football shaped pizza - gyros, burgers, etc. Multiple sizes including a personal that's about 10 inches and they have different varieties or you can customize and make your own which I did. While they don't have pork products, the beef pepperoni was good, the sauce was nice and plenty of cheese. The crust was fine but in the middle of this football shaped pizza, it gets a little soft (not soggy though). I also opted for "spicy" which is a green sauce (think middle eastern style and flavor) and it was fine but maybe not worth the extra charge. Prices are very reasonable and if you are in a pinch looking for slightly above average pizza and other options, this is your spot. ** Side note - don't order online, as the prices are slightly different. Either go in and order at the counter or call in your order. I understand the convenience of ordering online and those services have some value but they also need to make money, which is why their prices are higher than if you just picked up the phone and called in. Services is pleasant and the people are nice plus there's plenty of free on street parking nearby. read more

Delish- don't scrimp on green sauce! Fast delivery and great quality.lots of options for variety of tastes

Decent pizza with good people running the place. Reasonably priced for the market. Counter service only and a few retail items. There are a few tables where you can eat. It's more of a lunch place or takeout joint. Not fancy, not a place for a date. read more

This is my absolute favorite pizza spot! I always get the meat lovers pizza which includes gyro meat, beef, and chicken in it. It's so good and fresh Everytime . The pizza is cooked to perfection, I have tried their other food before in a buffet and it's so good as well. Can't go wrong with Afghani food, their pizza is famous in the twin cities and I can't not wait to get it again! Also parking is usually not to difficult to find here and it's free street parking! read more

One of the best dining and food experiences I have ever had. Wonderful people running the place and I had the honor to be served by Sear. Sear makes every customer feel like family and is so joyous and uplifting and is making a difference in the world and the community with his positive outlook on life! It is worth coming in just to make your day bettter. On top of that, this is the best pizza I have had in Minneapolis area. I don't know what they do to the dough but it is so soft and cloudy which makes for a wonderful experience. The sauce is also great and the toppings are high quality. We had the meat lovers pizza and the spinach pizza and both were outstanding. The green sauce that is served with the pizza is also a very unique touch that is super tasty and can't be replicated elsewhere. This place is a must try!!!!! Thank you to Sear and the football pizza team again for this experience god bless all you. read more

I've eaten Football Pizza's meat lover's pie at various locations, and it's always the BEST pizza around. I tried a meat lover's pizza in their "spicy" variety (did not even know that was an option) at their Eagan location recently and MAN-OH-MAN was it GOOD! I mean, holy amazing pizza. Between the flavor of the pizza, the crispy crust, the warm spices in the sauce and that incredible green sauce they give you to dip it in, this is my favorite pizza in the Twin Cities. And the folks who work there are always supremely friendly, too. Love Football Pizza! read more

One word: "eh". Came during dinner time at 6 pm, the whole restaurant was completely empty. I waited 15 minutes for a below average pizza. The crust was not homemade as it tasted like freezer style pizza. If your craving pizza definitely skip this place out and try out a different place or go with a freezer style pizza. It'll be cheaper and it'll taste roughly the same or possibly even better. I ordered the Hawaiian pizza (chicken, pineapple, and onion). The toppings were so disproportionate. Majority of the pizza had pineapple and onion. Where was the chicken? read more

Football Pizza,Football Pizza,Football Pizza! After what I experienced the name should be more like Touchdown Pizza. We called ahead for pick up so we did not dine in. But if we would have, the atmosphere is more like a typical East coast pizzeria. With a middle Eastern flare and the large tv's give it a sports bar kinda feel, with out the alcohol though! Let get to it we ordered a personal pepperoni and a medium meat lovers. And bruh the pizza it was a hit! The sauce was not to sweet not to salty. It complemented the crisp slightly charred but yet still chewy crust perfectly!And the pepperoni hands down is the best substitute for pork pepperoni I have ever had. The meat lovers was just as good and the gyro meat gave it unique flavor. Although is said it also had chicken I didn't see it on my pie. It could have been a chicken sausage instead of cubed or sliced breast meat. I did add the restaurant's signature green sauce. Which is a must it you like the flavor of veggies on your pie with out the crunch! All in all if your close to central in northeast Mpls or not this place is worth the drive. I will definitely be taking a drive back to try there other menu options next time we want pizza! read more

Excellent pizza, friendly service. We tried the Afghan cuisine as well. (Goat!) Thumbs up.

We had a great time eating here! The pizza was super tasty and unique compared to other pizzas! The service was also wonderful, super friendly people working and they were very helpful since it was obvious it was our first time visiting. We had such a great experience that it won't be our last! Would definitely recommend trying this place! read more

I saw numerous great reviews and heard all good things about Football Pizza, so finally decided to give it a try. My opinion seems to be different than most though as this was nothing special to me. It's not bad by any means, but there just isn't anything that makes this a pizza to be sought after. We tried the Mediterranean and House Special, which we didn't realize would be the exact same pizza other than some pieces of Feta Cheese sprinkled throughout the Mediterranean. I would say this is comparable to any chain pizza you can order for half the price. read more

This was a fun pizza adventure which is very unique in the twin cities! They have so many options with their food outside of pizza including traditional Mediterranean dishes like kabob and gyro which almost made me change my decision to only go for pizza - all the food looks very appetizing. Something they don't mention is the big giant smoothie bar they have with different flavors - I decided to do the guava smoothie. There's no alcohol here so unfortunately you lose out on the dream of pizza and brew but it's still a very good experience and wonderful for kids. It was eerily empty when I arrived at 6:30pm but started picking up later into the night. I also noticed that they have a very large amount of take out options compared to dining in. Overall I had a fun pizza experience here. The pizza is VERY good and I highly recommend getting the green sauce!!! It makes it even more flavorful! read more

Football Pizza - My hand vs the MEDIUM pizza! - Pizza Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS RESTAURANT! PLEASE LISTEN UP! On last night my family and I took a chance to place an order with Football Pizza located at Central Avenue in Minneapolis, 55418. So, I went to their website and ordered a MEDIUM PIZZA PIE with Gyro meat, chicken, and Beef. The food was promised (and I have the Email to prove it) to be delivered HOT. Well, it was nowhere near HOT! The food was COLD, OLD, and VERY VERY DRY! In good faith, I immediately reached back out to Football Pizza and was told that my food didn't come from them and that the Pizza was actually sold to me by SLICE (the delivery company) and not the restaurant (Football Pizza)! I was confused as I went to the football Pizza website to order the Pizza! I was told by football pizza that they could remake the pizza if I came to pick it up free of charge but that would defeat the purpose of having the food delivered as I do not drive! I was even told to bring the old pizza back but I told them if they redelivered it I could hand the old pie to the driver and then he flipped the solution again saying that he would just give me 50% off my next pizza, but the problem with that is that I did not get to eat the 1st pizza! It DID NOT look food safe and was VERY COLD, DRY, and UGLY! In the END they got to keep MY MONEY (THEIVES) while I got NO PIZZA! WILL NEVER ORDER FROM THEM AGAIN! A TRULY VERY TRAUMATIC, COLD-HEARTED, NON-CUSTOMER-CENTRIC EXPERIENCE! They REFUSE to be held responsible for the QUALITY and DELIVERY of their FOOD! Pure SHARKS! I've HAD IT WITH THEM! read more

Persian pizza! I drove by this place many times thinking it was a sports bar but heard from a friend that it had really good pizza so I went to check it out. The pizza is amazing they also have the best spicy sauce and other sauces to purchase! It's not over priced or protentious. This is one of the best slices I have ever had. Go try rit asap! They also make acceptional flat bread so soft n fluffy. They have great customer service and are friendly as well. read more
