I've lived a few blocks from Hello Pizza for years now and the price has kept me away for the most part. A friend was kind enough to order a sicilian and some garlic balls for a small get together so finally had the chance to try it. I went to pick up and the space gave classic "slice shop" vibes, which I enjoy. No frills, a few tables, but mainly lunch and to-go. The staff was all kind and seemed to be churning through orders at a busy time. Full disclosure that I don't consider focaccia with toppings "pizza". Doesn't mean I don't like it but if I'm in the mood for pizza, it doesn't fit the bill. If that makes sense. All that to say that the dough itself was very soft, but lacked any real flavor. The garlic balls, made from that same dough, ended up being really boring. "Not worth the calories" as Prue would say. The edges were awesomely crispy, at least. so the textural contrast was fun. The sauce was the best part of the whole thing so I was pretty bummed that there was so little of it. Really bright and fresh without being acidic. I don't think this or a $20, 12" margherita is worth it for the price, but I also know people who love this so your milage may vary. Don't even get me started on the ranch at $3 for 2oz. read more

Hello Pizza - Sicilian (that little ranch was $3) - Pizza Near Me - Edina, Minnesota

Best slice I've had while in MN. If they had ranch it's 5 stars. So if you're not a ranch person this is 5 stars for you. There's 3 options for slices. The pictures on yelp from the past are somewhat misleading in that regard. Plenty of seating on a Saturday afternoon. I highly recommend. read more

The pizza is good, but it is extremely unfortunate that this business has recently become so unfriendly to its customers. What I mean is that they no longer want to actually interact with us. When you call to order a pizza, the recording says: We don't take phone orders. If you want pizza from us, order it online. If you actually go to the store, they won't talk to you, either. The business requires that you order on an electronic interface, like you do at McDonalds. Hello Pizza is no longer a friendly, neighborhood pizza place. It's too bad. The guys who used to take orders were friendly and pleasant, and I liked them. read more

My family and I really enjoyed our pizza here. It's a counter service spot so quite casual feeling. My wife, 4 year old, and I split two small pizzas and their dessert bread. We had the Hello Hawaiian and the Hello New York. Both were tasty. I didn't find the choices to have anything to unique compare to other pizza spots. But if you are close it's good pizza. read more

Brought a troop of small kids in and they loved the basic pizzas while us adults enjoyed something unique. Great service. Good atmosphere, would come again. read more

Anne Kim is a pizza goddess. Lola, Joni, etc. serve astonishingly, world-class excellent pizza. Hello Pizza is a bit of an homage to NYC-style pizza/slice places. It definitely has the feel of a NY-area pizza place inside - except Hello is less cramped, is less dirty, and the staff here are quite friendly. As a NYC transplant, I liked the vibe. The pizza was good. It was definitely more of an East Coast style. However, the pizza itself was a bit underwhelming. The crust was good - a bit light and fluffy, while still having a crunch to it. The sauce and toppings were ok. Maybe I was expecting something else, over-hyped it in my mind, that it felt less than excellent. That said, do check it out as it is still better than 99/100 pizza places in the Twin Cities. read more

We've picked this up for takeout twice and really liked it! The garlic knots and pan pizza have been great both times.

Great thin east coast style pizza! Service is friendly, pizza by the slice during lunch.

Love that we can get lunch time slices again, missed this place. I usually go for the pep, or a slice of the Sicilian.

I tried hello pizza after being a huge fan of young joni and sooki and Mimi! Ann Kim's takeout only pizza has to be good too, right? Well it is! It is thin crust style pizza and there are some very unique options for toppings. I tried the jalepeno and honey pizza which was super delicious and just a little sweet and spicy. The restaurant is right off of France Ave in linden hills and is super cute inside. We ordered on a Friday night and the pizza was ready in a reasonable time. The staff was super friendly on the phone and in store. With all this said, it is extremely pricey - which is the reason for the deduction of a star. read more

My $16 salad was good but the service and people were terrible. Will not be ordering again.

I found this recommendation when searching for best pizzas in the twin cities. The first time I went, it was closed! My fault, I should've looked at their schedule ahead of time; I was just so excited! The second time I went and was able to order inside. The employees were all friendly and patient while I decided on my order. I was the only non-employee in the space. I only had to wait about 15 minutes for my 3 pizzas to be made and baked! Once ready, I took the pies to my vehicle (currently, there is no indoor seating) and immediately started in on the thin crust pizzas! After trying all 3 pizzas, I decided that these are really great pizzas! Here's why: The thin crust is perfect to my liking: thin yet soft on the topping side and crunchy on the bottom! No wetness went through to the bottom of the crust. The edge crust without sauce was bubbly and cracker-like. The amount of sauce was perfect-- no toppings were sliding off! Good amount of basil on the Rita. My only comment on the sauce is that it was a little sour, like something was missing. The Sicilian blew me away! Again, great crust that was soft and bread-like to bite through and nice and crunchy on the edges! The amount of sauce and toppings were perfect -- the tomato sauce wasn't as noticeably sour as was on the thin crust pizzas. The herbs and spices were perfectly balanced with the sauce and cheese and bread. Great pizzas! Will definitely come back! read more

Some of the best pizza I've ever had. Service is always amazing, especially when I dine in. Definitely worth the price.

We ordered take-out and got a variety of pizzas. We tried the Sicilian, Hawaiian, a custom (sausage, mushroom, and spinach), and an order of garlic knots. All pizzas were good quality, but I had my favorites! 1. I loved the thick crust Sicilian pizza, but the thick crust was too much for one of my friends. Personally, I loved the crisp other crust with the soft inside and lots of cheese. 2. I loved the sausage on the make-your own pizza. The sausage had great flavor. The classic crust is also great. 3. My least favorite was the Hawaiian. I didn't love the bacon and the jalapeño peppers were too hot for me, but this was one friends favorite. I think regardless of your personal pizza preference, you can find something you will love at Hello Pizza! read more

Hello Pizza - Make your own (sausage, spinach, & mushrooms), Sicilian Pan Pizza (cut slice), Hawaiian pizza, and garlic knot. - Pizza Near Me - Edina, Minnesota

So... Sicilian pizza is my new favorite. Hello Pizza knocks it out of the park. Clearly, I'm in love. The crust is a lot pillowier than normal pizza crust, but not quite the heaviness of deep dish pizza. Hello Pizza amps it up with tons of fun toppings on their 'za. The Hello Trinity is, hands down, the best. Plus, this pizza is so popular that even their takeout time slots fill up. So plan ahead, get a few pizzas to go, and enjoy the best Sicilian style pizza in the MSP area! read more

We went there last week for pizza, when the pizza arrived it had short hairs in and on it. Disgusting, never eat there again plus the restaurant was dirty, the floor was filthy. Gave it one star because I had to. read more

YUMMM!! I drove by this place for years and was always curious. I finally took the plunge and regretted it instantly! It is DELICIOUS! I have yet to find a pizza that isn't so darn good. I have ordered multiple times.... The Sicilian is so good! I added pepperoni onto it, maybe its a crime? Maybe it was delicious. I can confirm it was delicious! The New Yorker is delicious! So good! The crust on this pizza is *chefs kiss*. In addition I have tried the garlic knots. Great little addition to your pie :) Then they have Bebe Zito Ice cream. This should be a crime! I tried The Crowening and goodness! It shouldn't be allowed to have cookies and cream base, then put peanut butter and caramel into it, then add oreo pieces and peanut butter salted cookie dough...I dream about this ice cream still to this day. If you got to the end of this review and have not ordered, you probably should. Unless its like 3 am and they are closed, then, hopefully you are ordering for the future. read more

A dang good pizza spot! Cute option near Linden Hills with authentic vibes. Several options to select from, including specials. They also have gluten free crust available for a few dollars more. Prices can be a bit high if you get the GF crust, but worth it to have a GF option! If you're looking for a cheaper and delicious option, try out their meatball subs! Or get a slice or two on their lunch menu. Cute thing I haven't seen anywhere else in the cities: Hello Pizza has a photo booth! The developed strips are hanging all around the restaurant :) costs a few bucks but is a fun family or friend outing! read more

Hello Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Edina, Minnesota

Great pizza and friendly staff. My new favorite pizza place and this was only my first time there. Can't wait to go back soon.

Yesterday we ordered hello pizza for pick up. It was our granddaughter's first slice of pizza. We ordered a regular crust and a gluten free option for my daughter. They both were delicious. I've been to the other two pizza places owned by the same people before. Definitely will be ordering there again! Great service and great quality. I wish we were in the delivery radius, but it's worth the drive. read more

Best pizza in the twins cities. The hello Rita is the best Margarita in MN. Service is great as well.

I stopped at Hello Pizza on a drive I was doing from Portland, OR to CT on a car I just bought. I hit Minneapolis around dinner time and knew I had to check out Hello Pizza. I first learned about Ann Kim and her restaurants from a podcast back in 2019. I'm from NY and grew up on NY pizza so I loved her story. I got the plain 12" (i should have went 16!) For me, a place has to pass the plain slice test first. I talked with Robert while I waited for it to be ready. It was a great experience and I'll never forget my visit. It was also pure coincidence that the hat I was wearing had a similar logo to theirs! So that was fun. The pizza was great. The kind of perfect foldable slice you can just crush and keep going back for more. Thoroughly enjoyed with a cold can of Coke on a bench outside before I got back on the road. I cant wait for the next time I'm around to come back! And I will be sure to hit Lola Pizza as well. Eat here and you won't be disappointed! Thanks again Robert! read more

Bring back slices! I came to appreciate that Hello Pizza offered simple slices of pizza in the shop. Throughout and since the pandemic, Hello hasn't offers full pies in the store. The pizza itself is above average for the twin cities but I ate there often with my family for a quick and simple meal every few weeks. Since we'd be forced to get a whole pie now (and wait for it), I haven't been there since. Bring back slices! read more

2 stars because the Pizza is good, although the price is high (it's Edina so, I guess they get it). But I ordered for pickup without knowing they charge a surcharge (a forced tip). And because I am already a generous tipper, I still tipped FOR A PICKUP ORDER. So I inadvertently double tipped. I spent $70 for 2 pizzas, one being cheese only. Never again. I have a strong aversion to places that are adding surcharges to help pay their staff. How about do like the rest of the world, raise your prices and pay your staff a living wage. Its not the customers responsibility to pay your staff. Tipping should be voluntary and based on quality of service. But they gave a right to do it, just as I have a right to not return. read more

The Food and service is amazing! The ambiance is great too! It's great! five star one hundred percent!

It is absolutely nuts that a pizza-by-the-slice shop like this only has 3.5 stars. Domino's pizza gets 3 stars, and this is only half a star higher? Crazy! Maybe you can't tell from the look of this plain old slice of cheese pizza, but the sauce is nice and tangy, the mozzarella actually tastes like mozzarella, and the crust is perfectly crisp-tender. It's exactly what you want in a pizza by the slice - no more, no less. The tri color salad is a lightly dressed tangle of arugula, radicchio and shaved fennel, topped with shaved parmigiano. $4.50 is absolutely a fair price for a delicious plate of these delicate yet assertive greens. It's not meant to be compared to Pizzeria Lola and Young Joni. And certainly should not be rated similar stars to Domino's. It's simply a fantastic pizza by the slice. read more

The pizza is fantastic, the garlic knots are delicious, and the service is friendly and personable! Best pizza in the Twin Cities!

Minnesota Statute Section 177.23, subdivision 9 18% surcharge. Wtf? This law is designed for events such as the final four it has nothing to do with your regular restaurant when there are no events. Like a lot of restaurants nowadays they're just taking our money and putting it in their pockets. It's sad too because I really like this pizza but I will never buy it again. They also charge a five dollar delivery fee. Again, Wtf? read more

This was probably my hundredth time visiting Hello, but the first time during a global pandemic. As we are all figuring out what is and isn't doable, I wanted to support my corner pizza place. Not only was the pizza terrific and the smoky greens salad awesome (as always), but the sanitary and safety precautions were on point. I know everyone is concerned about takeout, and Hello Pizza has it together. Support local restaurants! read more

Hello Pizza - Manager Reed, super nice guy. Order up and support Hello Pizza! - Pizza Near Me - Edina, Minnesota

Open less than 20 hours a week. A joke of a restaurant. They had decent hours before Covid and decent pizza too but now they are basically worthless to me. Please replace this restaurant with a useful one. The pizza used to be decent but has probably degraded heavily due to the employees only being offered 20 hours a week or work. Guaranteed no benefits. Beyond stupidity. Failure of a restaurant. read more

I ordered four pizzas for delivery. When they arrived, 3 were incorrect. I called the store and was told it wasn't their problem, there was nothing they could do about it and to deal with Door Dash. The individual I spoke to was very rude. I won't do business with Hello Pizza again. read more

I'm a pizza snob. I come from the Chicago area, home of the Chicago deep dish. Further, my father hails from New York, home of the iconic pizza pie. Even further, my uncle is second or third generation Italian, and does not make anything your taste buds would scoff at. In short, I was destined to be a pizza snob. This place was advertised to me as the closest one can get to an authentic NYC pizza, while being outside of the state of New York. This was advertised to me by a New Yorker! And daggonit if they weren't right! Their pies have that NYC thinness and chew. There's enough sauce in every bite, but no dripping out under the cheese. And oh boy, that cheese; ooey and gooey and molten and seasoned. This IS the best NYC pizza knockoff one will find, in any state outside NY! All there pizzas a good, due to fresh toppings, rotating specials, and traditional ways of preparation. The Sicilian, a pizza they always have on menu, is a Brooklyn, or Sicilian, style deep dish. This kind of deep dish pizza defers from Chicago in that the crust is an even slab of thickness, about one to two inches thick. The pizza is topped with the freshest of basil, balls of mozzarella, a special tomato sauce, and a few extra spices. Perfect in the summer time, or will remind you of the freshness of summer. It would not be respectful if I neglected to mention the decor and customer service. First, the customer service is the bomb! These people are incredibly friendly, will remember after a few orders, and overall want you to be happy (and brag about Hello Pizza). The decor is 1950s meets 1980s meets modern. It's got this classic yet homey feel to it. You'll enjoy dining in as much as ordering take out. Oh, and yes, they played up the name Hello Pizza when they first opened up. They had pictures of Lionel Richie all over the place. They have now reduced that to one picture of Lionel. Make sure to spot it when you stop in. For you youngins, Google Lionel Richie's song "Hello", and you will be thoroughly entertained, as well as understand the reference here. Lastly, please rate highly and write a raving review. It is insulting that Hello Pizza's score is anything lest than a 4-point-something. read more

Ordered two pizzas and garlic knots last night. Expectations are high given it's an AK restaurant, LOVE and frequent her other establishments. Hate to say this one was not good. Veggie pizza had big onion slices, spinach and plain mushrooms, and globs of bland ricotta cheese. Flavorless and disappointing. Hawaiian had too much cheese, too much pineapple and not enough jalapeño, not well balanced. Garlic knots were great, red sauce tasted like jarred marinara. For the price and the brand, sadly underwhelming. Goodbye pizza :( read more

So I looked up best NY style pizza in the Twin Cities. Hello Pizza came up. I ordered when my boyfriends mom was in the hospital. The food was ready in 15-20 mins! Drove it pick it up, it was ready that fast and fresh + hot. The pizza is yummy! Comparing to NY style it is the most authentic I've had in MN, but not exactly the same, hence the 4/5 stars. I also got the garlic knots which were bomb. They are taking covid seriously and doing what they need to protect their employees -- I support. If you're thinking of trying, do it! You will not regret. read more

Eh. Pizza was good. Overall ordering and dining experience was not great. When your food is speedy I don't love ordering at the counter and having to go back up for whatever. And, there was a dude waiting for his pizza near where I sat down who was obvs ticked because his order was taking so long, and he and the person at the register had an uncomfortable exchange. Tried to ignore but it was like right there. So that was a damper. Margarita pizza was good. The vibe sorta sucked, so I ate quick and bailed. read more
