    This is my second time picking up dinner here and both times I've been blown away by how delicious the pizza is! I love wood fired pizza in general but Northern Fires is high quality. They don't skimp on toppings and the pizzas are larger than I expected. We also had the Caesar salad, which would serve 2-3 people. They brought our food right out to our car for us! Also, it seems to only take 10-15 minutes for your order to be ready after placing it. It's definitely take out only in the winter, they have a small patio in the summer time I think. This is hands down my new go-to for take out pizza :)

    Blanca pizza - green garlic, red onion, cream, basil, mozzarella, cheddar, and ricotta
    Tim C.

    I ordered some takeout for my family, and the pizzas were ready about 15 minutes after we called it in, as promised. The pizzas we got: -Kingfield - included tomato sauce, red onions, mozzarella, house-made sausage, and pepperoni. The sausages and pepperoni were very tasty and went well together - definitely a great option for meat lovers. -Mushroom - there was no tomato sauce on this one, but included garlic, red onion, oyster mushrooms, mozzarella, parmesan, and herb oil. This pizza was probably my favorite, because the parmesan was very pungent and flavorful, and complemented the oyster mushrooms perfectly. The mushrooms were also the right texture and consistency - with a bit of chew, but not too hard. Very tasty! -Blanca - also a white pizza, it came with green garlic, red onion, cream, basil, mozzarella, cheddar, and ricotta. This one was very cheesy and heavy, but the combination of cheeses was not overwhelming. -Stinging Nettles - we went out on a limb to try this one, but it wasn't as bad as I had expected. It came with marinated nettles (spiky leafy greens), feta, mozzarella, red onion, and garlic. The nettles covered the pizza (literally covered the entire pizza), and even though it had a slightly bitter taste to them, the rest of the toppings balanced the pizza out. The toppings were very generous on all the pizzas. The pizza dough was thinner-crust, and even though it seemed like it was made from wheat flour, it was surprisingly not chewy or hard. We also tried the Wood Fired Flatbread, which came with pickled beets, basil, seasoned ricotta, and fleur de sel. The beets with ricotta were delicious! This place has some outdoor seating, but I think they primarily function as a takeout pizza place. Great pizzas and great service!

    Sausage Pizza

    Phenomenal pizza in the Twin Cities! Highly recommend Northern Fires Pizza for your next takeout pizza night. We had a marghertia pizza and a sausage pizza. Both were delicious and exceeded expectations. Will definitely be back!

    i mean... what didn't they do to deserve EIGHT stars outta THREE!!!!!!!! tasty pizza cool vibe gangsta oven hip af good location fast, friendly hooked it UP i walked up like a JAMOKE thinking i could order a slice. however, they run by the slice from 12-4pm. the manager (owner?? i think!) immediately offered to check if any more slices were available. not only did he make it happen, but he gave me TWO slices when i only paid for one. didn't say a word to me about it either. what a HOMIE. come here for the vibes and good pizza. this is a to go spot. bear this in mind! support this great, local spot!

    Margarita pizza
    Azra F.

    Amazing pizza, bold flavors. Tried margarita pizza and margarita with mushrooms. It was very flavorful, higher quality ingredients. We ate it outside, there are a couple of benches right next to the place. It's takeout only. Highly recommend. We received 2 free cannolis, very good as well. Super friendly service.

    Breakfast Pizza!
    Jay B.

    First time. Ordered the breakfast pizza down at the Mill City Farmers Market today. Will not be the last. Great sour dough crust. Their description; Sliced Royale (smoked ham from Red Table Meats), purple potato, onion, garlic, mozzarella, Circle of the Sun (raw cow's milk cheese from Cosmic Wheel Creamery), herbs, and an egg. It was so good! The drive isn't too bad to do a pickup. Too bad they lost out on the building on Lake Street, across from our favorite, The Bungalow Club. It would have been a really good addition to the East Lake street.

    Saw the owner do some nice gesture. Pizza looks great and the word is that sauce is amazing. Mostly because I saw this YouTube video, I'm on my way asap to buy your pizza. Stonefired. From what I hear The pizza smells amazing. I plan to be visiting when I'm there. About $18 a pie. Not sure if they have seating inside. YouTube this. VFEHVtp-GzQ

    I had fun trying out a new pizza place that is local. I ordered in advance (like 6 hours early) and the ordering process was quite easy. There is no lot for the place and there is no dining in, purely pickup only. I was lucky and found a spot right out front. Unfortunately, even with my 6 hour ahead, I still had to wait 20 mins as they were running behind. I ordered the corn pizza (seasonal) and the pepperoni and sausage pizza. The corn pizza was a nice treat. There was jalapenos on it. I do enjoy heat but did end up picking off a good number of the jalapenos to make it more enjoyable. Truly I don't think places use corn enough in their restaurants so I was a fan. The sausage and pepperoni pizza was tasty. The leftovers were fantastic as well. The price is a little higher than other places, but the quality is good.

    Visited Northern Fires Pizza at the farmers market back when it was still warm out and really enjoyed it! My friend got the pizza while I opted for the wood fired focaccia/flatbread with fresh ricotta and beet salad. It was light and filling, fresh, and delicious! The perfect farmers market day lunch.

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.

The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and authentically neighborhood-focused. Whether you're stopping in after a bike ride, meeting friends for brunch, or grabbing a late-night bite, it feels like home. The service team is outstanding. Hannah went above and beyond, crafting two custom coffee martinis that were every bit as good as anything you'd find at a dedicated cocktail bar. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely happy to see you that's the standard here. The brunch is excellent, especially on the patio when Minnesota weather cooperates. Located right along the bike path, it's the perfect destination for food, drinks, and people-watching. The menu has something for everyone, from creative specialty pizzas and breakfast pizzas to vegan options, plus favorites like bruschetta and lasagna. Reasonable prices, generous hours, consistently great food, and a staff that treats you like family. In a world of chains and cookie-cutter restaurants, Pizza Lucé Hopkins remains a true neighborhood gem. Sometimes you want more than a meal, you want a place where everybody knows your name. This is that place. #cheers!

When my friend and I walked in, we came into a fairly spacious dimly lit space with loads of people inside. We were immediately informed that there would be over 1.5hr wait for a walk-in table. We were given the option to wait for bar seating as it would probably be quicker - and surely, it was. We did have to wait quite a bit, but it was a tolerable amount of time and definitely less than what it would have taken for an actual table. My friend and I decided to share 2 pizza pies as we wanted to get a taste of two different flavors, so we eventually settled on Korean BBQ & Perfect Pickle Pie. KOREAN BBQ As it was created by a Korean chef, it definitely had true authentic Korean flavors. As a Korean myself, I was very familiar with this soy vinaigrette and have tried this on many salad before - so, it was hitting home for me. Also, you can't go wrong with the bulgogi/beef short ribs known to all those who had Korean BBQ before. The combination of the sauces that they use for this pizza is definitely very rich, full of umami. I personally enjoyed it. PERFECT PICKLE PIE This pie was a totally different flavor to the Korean BBQ. It's less rich and maybe can be overpowered or considered more bland compared to other pizza flavors. But when tried together with the BBQ, it balances out the richness of the BBQ with the more subtle/less umami flavors. This pie gives more of a tangy/sour taste that pickles provide and more of a crunch due to the chips that are added on top. The dill is present, but not overpowering. It's a nice low-key kind of taste that people who like pickles will enjoy. Overall, the flavors were very rich in every pizza pie that we had that our mouths were bursting with flavor. It was definitely the most unique pizza toppings that I've had and can see why it's so highly regarded. I can tell that they really are meticulous with their every process and that their pizza guy by the wood fire oven is expertise in what he does. My friend and I walked out quite satisfied and I was honestly more full than I expected.

There were gnats, yes, but it wasn't bad. But it did strike me that we were warned, but then no mention was made about what to do if the plague descended. Not a good start to the evening. We waited maybe 15 minutes until water arrived, at which point the server said he'd be back to take drink orders. Another 15 minutes later we ordered drinks. We saw them 20 minutes later and ordered then. First round of food arrived 20 minutes after that (arancini, quite good -- the highlight of the meal). But then it was a 40 minute wait until the second round of food came. By this point we were starving. There is simply no reason to have to wait that long for small plates. The same overly familiar server thanked us for our patience, said that he checked on the order assuming it got lost but then was informed that no, it's just slow. I said that, yes, we had been waiting long and that we were getting quite hungry. He assured us our mains would not be that long and then added "Yes, this has been the shift from hell." The mains did arrive more promptly, and they were... fine. The pasta was overcooked by a fair degree, and sauces were of a quality that any decent amateur home cook could make themselves. The pizza had an excellent crust. But when you're paying this much for a meal, you want more than a good pizza pie. Server arrived later saying that to apologize for the wait, desserts would be comped, but then... we waited so long to put in a dessert order we just asked for our check. So: incredibly slow. Service that was overly familiar to the point of reminding us that we were having a terrible time. And then no adequate compensation was made for the fact that we were having an awful time ON MY HUSBAND'S BIRTHDAY, which I had noted when I made the reservation. So, diners beware.
