    Updated review; Unfortunately my past experiences were just that. In the past. I Ordered a pan pizza and cheesy bread sticks. Sounded like a nice lazy Saturday summer lunch!! But Upon opening the box of bread sticks they were dark brown and as hard as a rock. Clearly they had cooked before and reheated in the oven. They weren't even edible. The taste was as if the oven hadn't been properly cleaned in a very long time. When opening the pizza the toppings were a mess and the crust was barley even cooked. A mess of water was underneath the pizza! I could only have one piece due to it tasting like a dirty oven and they amount of greasy water. The mushrooms tasted like they came from a can and the sausage was hard on the top. Not sure how this pizza went so wrong.... I love pizza and can usually handle a little grease but this was crazy. I won't be ordering here again. Which is a bummer since it's a local restaurant and close to my house. Seriously.... What a dang bummer!!! I hate leaving negative reviews. But this was just the worst pizza I have had in a long time.

    What can I say, John's Pizza Cafe is by far one of the best in the Twin Cities, possibly even anywhere. Their selection of toppings alone is amazing, I mean, you can get just about anything you could want, and it's always delicious, fresh, and cooked to perfection. The portions are exceptionally generous! I have actually never dined in at the new location (across the intersection from the old location), despite ordering for delivery or pick-up for many, many years. The staff has always been friendly, charming, and never expressed impatience as I dallied over what ingredients I wanted in any of my orders. Their pizzas are really amazing, but I am seriously in love with their Stromboli and my fiance is a big fan of the Calzone. This last weekend for a Birthday we ordered and it was fantastic, they're consistently wonderful.

    My go to pizza/burger joint with my kids. Their pizzas are always good and cheesy, usually quick service and polite staff. My favorite burger here is the Tennessee BBQ burger. It's big and can get sloppy so I normally cut it in half. Most of the time, I end up eating only half or a bit more since we usually order other food such as their applewood bacon mac and cheese which is super cheesy and creamy. My kids loved their french fries served with ranch.

    terrible pizza, all crust, skimpy toppings very dry and bland the box it came would probably be better to eat.

    We came here to see my husbands friends band play, and boy am I SO glad we did. I have nothing but…read moregood things to say. The ambiance and atmosphere here is out of this world. You get west coast mid century modern that feels cozy and hip. The band played from 3-5 which I admit I originally thought was weird. But quickly realized why. This place was created for three reasons: good food, vibes, and family fun. You look around the room and EVERYONE is having a great time. Someone's Grandpa and grandma are having a blast on the Dance floor, kids are laughing, and everyone eating and truly having a wonderful time. The food was SO SO SO good. My husband got the pastrami ribs and I wish I had taken a photo because HOT DAYUM they were fire. And the coolest part about this place is they don't accept tip. Instead there is a surcharge so all employees can have a livable wage and that's so appreciated and you can tell by the service. Everyone we encountered had a genuine smile on their face. For the owners- my husband and I weren't sure if we wanted children and have been going back and forth about it for so long... but being in a safe family environment where fun and good vibes and inclusivity is possible- it hit us like a ton of bricks. Thanks Animales. We will be sure to bring our family here for the years to come

    Love the bright colors and high energy vibe here. With the threat of rain, we got a table inside…read morebut the patio looked lovely. Maybe a future visit. Seeing the size of the portions, we decided to split the Piri Piri Chopped Pork sandwich with Mac n cheese and beans as our sides. It was more than enough food. The sandwich was delicious. Tender pulled pork with a bit of spice on a fresh sesame seed bun. Loved the beans. A little bit of pork fat gave them a great flavor. Husband is the Mac n cheese fan and he loved that as well. My bite was super cheesy. Lots of local beers to choose from. I found a nice hoppy one to try. Love the names but I always forget them. Service was great. You order with a QR code. Food came out quickly. We did have a server visit our table to answer questions and bring us anything needed after our initial order. He was great with giving us some recommendations. The restaurant charges a flat 20% service fee (so no tipping). Parking was a bit of an adventure as there seemed to be a lot of apartment parking on the streets and the lot was pretty small but we found a spot a block-ish away. Great stop!
