I'm disappointed it took so long for me to eat here. Truly a crime of depriving myself of one of the coolest restaurants with amazing staff, delicious food, and a thoughtful menu that is not overloaded with unnecessary items. I encourage readers to look past a few things.... - First the restaurant is attached to a grocery store. It wasn't a distraction or issue to us. You wouldn't be able to tell if you're eating inside or even on the patio. - Second the menu is not huge. You're not going to find countless pasta dishes, chicken parmigiana, mozzarella sticks, chicken fingers, and so on. Personally I was more than happy with less options that are all done well. - Lastly the prices. Like anyone I looked up the menu beforehand and wondered why a deep dish pizza was in the $25 range. While some restaurants charge more to adjust for inflation, Pizzeria Pezzo stands behind their prices through their homemade food with simple, high quality ingredients. Now the things I encourage readers to look directly at... - The meatball appetizer. I ate them too quickly, resulting in a bad picture. Comes with focaccia and a salad large enough to split. Definitely order if you appreciate this type of thing. - Both the deep dish and coal fire pizza. We only tried deep dish, but our eyes wandered to nearby tables dining on the crispy thin. I can't imagine a world where it isn't great like the deep dish, but will confirm when I go back. - Cannolis! Get them. $9 for 3 huge cannolis. Splurge a little. You can always walk it off at Kowalski's afterwards. I really liked this restaurant. Good food, nice people. I hope you try it. Pro tip: They have a Groupon out there right now 7/6/23. read more

I ordered pizza for pick up. I wouldn't say the pick up option works well, I arrived and followed their process and after waiting awhile and no one came out I decided to go in and they didn't know I had been waiting. So, better off going in. Pizza was good but dough was pretty soft so next time I may ask for it to be cooked a bit longer. Meatball appetizer was good. Inside seemed like it had plenty of seating and was clean. read more

Yum! This is connected to the Kowalski's grocery store, and has one wall bar facing in. We stopped by around happy hour time on a weekday, and were the only party there - by the time we left, another couple joined at the bar. The food and service are both good, the servers are nice and knowledgeable and the deep dish pizza is pretty good. The happy hour beers are a good deal as well. My only issue is that since the deep dish takes a while to come out, we ordered a salad to start, but for some reason the salad and pizza both came at the same time, around 30 mins after placing the order. Both delicious, but just unexpected for an app to come so late, especially if we're the only diners. Besides that, good pizza spot! read more

Ordered the deep-dish pizza "The Wrigley" for takeout. Sauce was way, way too salty! Couldn't even eat it. Had to scrape the sauce off the top but still WAY too salty. I spoke with the manager but apparently it's the usual sauce. Inedible pizza. read more

Pizza is tasty and unique combinations that really work. Wine is good, especially on half price bottle Wednesday. Staff is friendly though a little slow to take orders and bring drinks. read more

We loved Pezzo. We've eaten at both this location and their White Bear location but most recently they refused to start an order ahead for a deep dish pizza. This pizza takes 45+ minutes to bake and historically they've been open to starting an order ahead but allegedly they no longer accommodate this request. It's really unfortunate because it limits access for many to some great recipes. We probably won't go here again, we will just go up to the White Bear location. read more

Each time we go here the pizza is on point. I love that they offer dough to kids to play with while waiting for the order to come. To be honest I like playing with the dough myself. So my only recommendation would be to offer it to every table with or without kids. The ambiance is also nice and the bathrooms are trendy and clean. read more

Absolute best Chicago style deep dish in Woodbury and in the metro area. The pasta is also very good but we stick to getting the "wrigley" - perfect size pizza for a family of 4 with 2 young boys. read more

Pretty disappointing. Salad was soggy and brown like it had been sitting in dressing for hours. Asked for no peppers/onions on one pizza and no sausage on the other, but pizzas came out with the ingredients. Deep dish was doughy and soggy. Coal fired pizza and stuffed mushrooms were okay, but would not recommend. read more

If you're looking to wait 40 min for a lean cuisine pizza, look no further. They also don't have arugula anymore?! Punch pizza is a mile away. 100000% better than what pezzo is now. read more

Pizzeria Pezzo - 2 slices of onion! A crappy little crust? Okay... - Pizza Near Me - Woodbury, Minnesota

This is a cool place connected to the Kowalski's in Woodbury with a bar and tv, a lot of seating and a cool outdoor patio area. I have to say the service we received was great, especially how the server and manage went out of their way to introduce some new drinks that are coming next week. I asked for an N/A beer and our server told us that they have mocktails coming and brought me the new menu. I had a Berry Splash and it was super good. I also tried the N/A beer and it was better than most I have tried. We decided that when in Rome, we should get a deep dish pizza. We decided on The Wrigley and had tomato sauce, pepperoni and Italian sausage. It wasn't the best deep dish I have ever had, but was very filling and I thought the crust was baked perfect. Our server warned us it would take 45 minutes and actually only took about 35. There is a bar when you first walk in and has 1 tv for sports, etc. read more

We got the pera pizza and a shared appetizer of meatballs and a side salad. The meatballs were delicious but average. The pizza was really great and I would come back here again for it. The walnuts were crunchy and the balsamic added a good layer of flavor. They said 10 minute wait but the wait was a bit longer than that, and then we waited more for our food, so it's took maybe around 40 minutes from entering before we started eating. I wasn't too sure why they had a wait even though the restaurant was only around half full and the other tables never really got filled later in the night. Generally the place has the vibe of an elegant sports bar, in the sense that there are TVs playing in the background but the space is well-lit, clean, and located within a bougie grocery store. read more

I really wanted to love it here but the pizza fell short for me. I think it was under done maybe because the deep dish tasted doughy. We enjoyed our drinks and found this spot thanks to a killer Groupon. Shout out to the staff. Absolutely top notch. I think I'll give their thin pizza a shot next time. read more

The deep dish pizza at Petco is amazing. Very few places in Minnesota serve Chicago style pizza of this quality. We've always been impressed with the service. Several times have been comped, which is always welcome management seems to really care about their customers. If you like deep dish pizza, I highly recommend you give it a try. read more

Welcome to Woodbury Pizzeria Pezzo we are so happy you are here!!!! We used to make that haul to the White Bear Lake location. It was well worth it but, now we're neighbors. Valentines dinner tonight was a romantic deep dish pizza by candlelight at home. Pizzeria Pezzo has THE BEST deep dish pizza in the twin cities! The crust has a buttery, yummy texture...flashbacks to Chicago deep dish from Gino's East! The sauce and sausage are FRESH and good. The staff was warm and welcoming when my husband placed and picked up our order. Looking forward to our next visit. read more

Pizzeria Pezzo - Pizza to go! - Pizza Near Me - Woodbury, Minnesota

One of our favorite pizzas. We usually get the deep dish pepperoni pie. We have also got the Italian salad a few times. Those are our favorites and we have never been disappointed. Dining at the restaurant can be very busy, especially on a nice summer evening. Use the waitlist when you can. read more

Food rating 1/3: Food had a nice presentation. The flavor on the other hand was on the saltier side with more coal soot than I would like under the crust of my pizza. Was informed by server that the arugula topped style and other menu items shown here in photos are no longer offered tells me that this place pre-pandemic. Still good enough to eat but would not come back for standard pizzas. Perhaps the deep dish is the right way to go? The Italian Stuffed Mushrooms were better than the pizzas. Atmosphere and decor rating 1/1: Place looked nice with tall booths and high tops for seating. Although connected to a grocery store, it was still quite pleasant to dine at. Tables and seats were clean. There is outdoor seating as well. Service score 1/1: Service staff was knowledgeable and drinks were topped off. Other staff that dropped off food and beverages were also attentive, even though they weren't our assigned server. Everyone was well dressed. Final thoughts: Might comeback to try the deep dish, but will likely wait at least a year for the restaurant to bring back pre-pandemic menu options. For now, I would rather go to other coal or wood fire oven locations around town for the regular crust pizzas. read more

Great deep dish pizza! We enjoy The Wrigley as our deep dish of choice and we split a salad to go with it.

Love this place, whether you are wanting a Chicago style deep dish or to share or coal-fired pizza (which you could share or possibly devour by yourself if really hungry). Good salads and appetizers, but the pizzas are the stars. My wife and I like to get one really savory pizza and then a Gorgonzola pizza to split. Recommended for either take-out or dine in, the pizzas work well for both methods read more

Was with some pickier eaters on this trip so had to go with basic thin crust build your own. Would love to go back and venture out on some of the more daring menu items as the crust did had a really nice coal oven char. Wish it was a little crispier but that could have been from being in the pizza box too long during carry out. read more

Pizzeria Pezzo - Thin crust mushroom - Pizza Near Me - Woodbury, Minnesota

When we found out that they would be opening a Pizzeria Pezzo in Woodbury we had mixed emotions of excitement and despair. The excitement was have a location close to home and not having to drive up to White Bear Lake. The despair was knowing we would probably be visiting much more often without having any restraint. Well as they say, you only live once! We have loved everything we have had from Pizzeria Pezzo. That being said, sometimes when a restaurant opens a new location, the food isn't quite the same. Those who were fortunate enough to have pizza from Savoy's would probably agree the pizza from their original location was much better than the other locations. Thankfully this has not been the case at all with Pizzeria Pezzo. We have enjoyed both deep dish and thin crust pizza. The wings continue to be some of the best in the cities and that turkey sandwich. Oh that turkey sandwich! I mean really who goes to a pizza place for a turkey sandwich? Well this is no ordinary turkey sandwich. Fresh roasted turkey or fresh made focaccia with a sun dried tomato aoli. OMG it is the best turkey sandwich that we've ever had! One of these visits we would like to try their pasta too. But we keep ordering pizza, wings and that turkey sandwich. Of of these times we'll try some of their pasta. Probably with a side of pizza or turkey sandwich. read more

First let me mention the amazing service Avery gave us. She knew the menu, made recommendations, was efficient and sweet. Nowadays, service is all over the map, and Avery sets a new bar. Our group tried a bit of everything... wings (just ok) and stuffed mushrooms, a thin pizza (tasty but seemed skimpy on toppings), the pasta formaggio, and a big salad (the one with mustard dressing but can't remember the name)..all was good. My favorite thing is what I made my meal out of, which was the meatball appetizer, which came with bread and a nice salad. Perfect meal for me and it was delicious. read more

We've done takeout on a deep dish in the past and were very pleased with that order, so finally decided to dine in last night. We quickly discovered that deep dish pizzas take 45 minutes to cook, so we opted for thin crust pizzas instead. The thin crust pizzas aren't memorable like the deep dish - I wouldn't order thin crust again. Plus, two 12" thin crust, 1 beer, and 2 sodas totaled $72 after tax and tip, which I felt was a bit much, especially considering two adults and a 10 year old finished those pizzas - they're the size of a frozen pizza, albeit thin crust. Ultimately, we still love Pezzo, but will stick to deep dish take-out going forward. read more

Love the food, service, ambiance of Pezzo. The Greek salad and dressing is the best I've ever had. The pizza options are unique and really good. I highly recommend. read more

Have been to Pezzo over 20 times the last three years. We always have EXCELLENT SERVICE and great pizza with a delicious salad (HEART OF SICILY)! read more

This place is excellent. I'm a Chicagoan and am so happy to have one locally. They also have great salads.

I wish licking bowls was social acceptable because I love the artichoke dip. OMG yum!

We stopped by this place after we were in town for some shopping and we were so happy that we stopped. Pat was our server and he was great, he took the time to explain some menu options and other questions. The pizza, drinks and dessert were great! I am sure to take many photos to show the cute indoor decor and the food/drinks. They have ice cold beer and good bloodies. I want to go back! read more

This is an okay spot for some pizza. Pretty much the only spot in Woodbury for some good deep dish pizza. It's a good deep dish for Minnesota standards. It can get pricey for a family night out. The lincoln park is the way to go for deep dish. The coal fire pizza is okay but they cancan get messy, but I'll still eat it before some other pizzas that are out there. The staff seems to be over worked at times. A few times we have been there the staff seem a bit short and unable to get drinks refilled or out in a timely manner. Still, they weee friendly and doing the best they can. read more

Best deep dish the twin cities has to offer! Coal Fired is just as good but you can't go wrong with the deep dish. Very friendly staff and the place has been packed since opening so get there early! Thank you Pezzo for an amazing dining experience! read more

So let me start off by saying this pizza isn't my style. I love the midwestern style of cheese, more cheese and let's F'N cover this pie with cheese to the back of the crust. This pizza was incredible. I like it significantly more than black sheep and the flavor was amazing. The crust was enjoyable. I was able to enjoy each bite. I went back the next day and tried their Chicago deep dish and that also didn't disappoint. You could hold the slice and actually eat it without a fork and knife. Yet it was still sloppy and incredibly enjoyable. I would give the thin crust an 8.9 and I liked it better than black sheep or surleys. The only pie I remember liking more was the original savoys on W 7th before they shut down but this was a game changer for Minnesota pizza. Deep dish is an 8.4 which is better than giordonnos IMO. read more

Pizzeria Pezzo - Wayyyyyyy better than it looks. I ordered the sausage pepperoni. 8.3-10. Phenomenal - Pizza Near Me - Woodbury, Minnesota

The best deep dish pizza in the city by far! It's all about the crust and they have perfected it. The crunch mixed with the cheese and the perfect amount of sauce...it's well worth the wait! Not to mention, the atmosphere inside and the perfect patio outside makes this a Woodbury winner for sure! See you very, very soon, Pezzo! read more

Customer services was not that great, the person seems upset ( he commented only one pizza) because, we, my wife, daughter which is 7 years old, and I ordered only a Pepperoni Pizza. The pizza had a delicious taste, but was cold. I guest we need to come different day and try again. read more

Among the restaurants we tried around Woodbury this one is one of the few I considered a keeper. We had the charcoal crust carne pizza and it's very good. The sauce taste good the toppings great. I almost ate the whole pizza myself. Coming from Los Angeles and not a pizza person this is really my favorite pizza place. Service is good. Ambiance ok. It's inside Kowalski but there's a door in front. read more
