We were in the area and heard great things about this spot so we had to stop! The pizza is really good - wood fired & they've got a lot of unique options. We also got the spinach artichoke dip based off of Yelp reviews & that was sooooo good. It's pretty small inside but we grabbed a table on a Friday night no problem. If you're in MP, you should stop! read more

So happy to see Popolo's is still going strong after all this time! The pizzas are still great as ever and the beverages are still bold and reasonable. Hope the Commerce Street construction is completed soon to make access easier. read more

Delicious pizza in a lovely atmosphere. Try the chocolates to go as well! We went two times in the weekend we stayed in mineral point

The pizzas are awesome! Just the way you'd expect a pizza from a wood-fired oven. The appetizers are also very good, as they are complemented with strips of pizza dough....from the wood fired oven. The marinara sauce with the garlic bread could use more seasoning to give it flavor (garlic, salt, pepper, onion powder, etc.) The burgers are huge. They have good flavor, nice and juicy. And boy they are big! You better have a good appetite to clear the plate. The service was alittle slow, but all the staff was very polite and aware of the slowness. They comp'd us an appetizer as a result. Overall, it's a great place to hang out and a friendly place to bring the family. And worth the drive for really good pizza. read more

Chef Shawn really knows what he's doing. He's friendly and attentive. Food is great! Restaurant acoustics leave a bit to be desired. My fiancé and I have been there several times & have truly enjoyed every food item we've ordered. read more

Popolo Pizzeria - Pizza Near Me - Mineral Point, Wisconsin

Delicious pizza. Prompt, friendly service. Fun, cozy atmosphere. Not much else to say...

We had seven people for dinner and they only had a table for six. We asked the waitress if we could pull up an extra chair. She said that was fine And brought us a chair. After we had ordered and received our drinks the owner came by and started yelling at us for disregarding her policy of not having more than six people at a table. We did not see a posted policy that no more than six people would be allowed at a table. We offered to split into two groups multiple times. We also said we could eat what we ordered and not ever come back. She said she appreciated that we not come back. She continued to yell at us. At that point we felt it was an inhospitable atmosphere and we were very unwelcome. We then paid for our drinks and left. read more

Just passing thru and thought we would try this local restaurant. We had a caprese salad and a pizza carne. The balsamic vinegar was slightly sweet which I appreciate. The pizza was fantastic. Bacon was great, crust wasn't chewy but perfectly cooked. They gave us a side of pizza sauce which was slightly spicy which I loved. The waitress went above and beyond. She was very kind as we rushed her because we were on the road. My only issue was the way someone talked to our waitress. Someone cooking near the wood oven grill was very rough on our sweet waitress. Be kind! read more

Great food at very affordable prices in little Mineral Point. Innovative wood fired pizzas and super fresh not your "run of the mill" salads. Other entrees also available that I've had previously were also very good. Friendly service and wide cocktail selections. read more

My friend had the Tender 7 Wood Fire pizza and I had the Spaghetti w/Meatball/garlic bread. We shared with each other. Their pizza was the best Wood Fire pizza I ever had. The sauce was delicious. The Spaghetti was good but just a tad bland and could have used a bit more sauce as well. The meatballs were also a tad bland. Not to say it wasn't good, it was. The garlic bread that came with the spaghetti however was so excellent and I would order a meal on just that if I could. The fire oven was beautiful as well and it was fun watching the chef using it. The staff was also friendly. We live 45 minutes away but I for sure will come back for that pizza and bread! Very affordable. read more

What can I say that hasn't already been said? Quaint location, pleasant atmosphere, extensive menu, well prepared and delicious food, reasonable prices. And don't even get me started on the great pizza! All that being said, what impresses me the most is how friendly the staff is, not just to the customers, but to each other as well. So nice to dine at an establishment where the staff actually seems to enjoy their work as well as each other's company! read more

Given that pur family of 13 was turned away, I guess 1 star is rather generous. We were visiting the area and made a special trip to Mineral Point from Madison, just to eat at Popolo Pizzaeria (during the 3 hr window it would be open ‍) only to be told that they couldn't seat us because we would "overwhelm the kitchen." Mind you the restaurant was COMPLETELY EMPTY and we offered to sit at separate tables and made it clear we weren't in a rush. However, none of that mattered and we were asked to leave. So insane, sad and disappointing. If you don't want to work just say that... read more

Popolo? NEVER AGAIN! For several years we have visited Mineral Point to take art classes at Shake Rag Alley. We always arrive later on a Friday and have had dinners at Popolo, ordering pizza and chianti. I have always asked that the toppings be added to the edge of the pizza, any added cost not a problem. I don't care for an inch or more burnt crust around the edge. The young men preparing the pizzas always did a good job. This year was different. On arrival we were seated a few feet from the open pizza prep area. We immediately ordered a bottle of wine and each had a glass. I then asked the server for our pizza, asking that the toppings go to the edge. This year the pizza maker was a lone, older woman. Apparently hearing our order she walked over and screamed, in an angry voice "If you want that kind of pizza go to Midway!". I tried to explain that in past years the pizza makers added topping to the edge. She screamed again "I am the owner. If you want that kind of pizza go to Midway". I wanted to leave, but my wife, a peacemaker, pointed out that we already started our wine and ordered pizza, so we should stay. We ate the pizza and left. I can't tell you if it was any good, I was so angry. The only positive thing I could say is that the server was courteous. I will never go back. The following Sunday afternoon we did try Midway Bar & Grill for the first time. Their pizza was excellent, with the toppings added nearly to the edge. Our new Friday to-go place in Mineral Point will be Midway! read more

Service and food was amazing. A great gem in Mineral Point. Beautiful ambiance. Highly recommend if in the area

We walked in after an afternoon of shopping and a visit to Pendarvis house (by the way the guided tour is totally worth it). Staff is incredibly friendly. Food was fresh and delicious - fresh greens and burrata beet salad, fresh eggplant, tomatoes and feta cheese pizza. Very relaxed atmosphere in a historic setting. Well worth it! read more

This restaurant is such a gem! I'm from the Madison area, but my sister works in the Mineral Point area, so we met her for dinner here and we were so impressed. The interior and exterior is so cute and welcoming. The service is out of this world. Our waiter was so attentive and apologetic of a wait for food that wasn't even long. We wanted to order the whole menu-- and we came pretty close! We ordered a few drinks, and the best one by far was the pom liquor one served in a copper mug. We started with the caprese salad, spinach artichoke dip, and garlic bread. We were very hungry and devoured these appetizers, and boy they were delicious! We were pretty full after all the apps, and we joked about stopping after those! However, we ordered the lasagna, margherita pizza, tortellini pasta, and pork belly mac and cheese. We all absolutely loved our meals. The pork belly mac and cheese was incredible at the restaurant, and it was even better reheated the next day! The pork was so tender it was unbelievable! The pizza crust was one of the best I've ever tasted. You could even see them putting the pizza in the wood fired oven, which was so cool! The lasagna was hearty and delicious, as was the tortellini. The leftovers were great as well! I can't wait to return to Popolo's next time I'm in the area. Until then, I'll be dreaming about it!! read more

I have never been to mineral point but this restaurant is definitely a reason to go back. Me and my girlfriend went here to eat after visiting the house on the rock and we were both extremely pleasantly surprised. The aesthetic and the quality of the interior was one thing, the waitress was also very personable and kind and timely, and the food was absolutely amazing, it was very reasonably priced and the pizza was much higher quality than I've ever had before, all together it costed about 32 dollars for a pizza and two alcoholic drinks but the experience felt very high end. I would definitely recommend for a nice date night or family gathering! read more

The ambiance was so nice. Warm, cozy, romantic (if that's what you're there for). Staff and owners were friendly and accommodating. We had the GF ravioli and GF pizzas. The pizza crust was the best we've had. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and an excellent flavor. The ravioli was delicious and came out with gooey cheese fresh out of the stone oven. We will absolutely be back the next time we visit. read more

Great food. Oven pizza and the best burgers on Thursday. Fish on Friday. But pasta is good, too. Service can be a bit show when busy. But be patient. Worth the wait. read more

Wood fire pizzas at Popolo's are the best in the area!!! And other items on the menu are always good too!

Great drinks and pizza. Wonderful service! Limited menu, but expected since it sources its ingredients locally. Wish the patio space was cleaned up and useable. It is a hidden gem and would be fantastic for garden parties! read more

This classy restaurant is situated in one of Wisconsin's gems, Mineral Point, WI. It features brick fired pizza and a menu of fresh dishes, like pasta, salads, and fish. Fitting the history of the town, it's rustic ambiance feels like treating yourself. The staff is accommodating as well. I will return! read more

Excellent experience. I had the caprese salad and their spicy sausage pizza, while my husband ordered the lasagna. Everything has phenomenal. The crust was the best I've ever had, the sausage just the right amount of spicy, and the salad tastes like it was right from someone's garden. My husband's lasagna also had a distinct taste to it and it was lovely. It came with a side of garlic bread that is to die for. He also enjoyed the pizza. Highly recommend. Excellent, fast service. read more

I know it's a fire-grilled pizza place, but I think the best item is their spaghetti and meatballs. Delicious! And they have nightly specials worth asking about. Bottles of wine are extremely inexpensive. The service is friendly. Can get crowded and you must be patient. But that's because there are so few restaurants in town. Sit at the bar if no tables are available to enjoy great conversations w locals. read more

Good pizza. Nice, little restaurant and dining area. In house service seems good, but 9 times out of 10 they don't answer the phone. That's no exaggeration. That's not the way to run a business. read more

Incredible, personal service, great pizza and a great burger too, unexpectedly. The place was packed both times we went, certainly a favorite among locals. Hope to be back. read more

Absolutely sensational! I walked in and smelled the roasted tomatoes and fresh bread in the kitchen! I ordered the calamari to start and the pizza belladonna and added their house made sausage. The ingredients were super fresh and the sausage was very good as well. Kellie was our server and she was exceptional, friendly, and recommended the house sausage when I asked if I could add a meat. I would recommend Popolo, highly! The friend I went with ordered the artichoke dip which came with flatbread, they let me try it and the bread itself was very tasty the artichoke dip was phenomenal! read more

Popolo Pizzeria - Pizza Belladonna with house made sausage. - Pizza Near Me - Mineral Point, Wisconsin

My husband and I stopped by at 5 on Sunday. Their hours on the door say 4-8 Sunday. There was no one there, but the door was open. I hope everything is ok? ‍ another couple stopped at the same time and said the same thing happened to them last week. So definitely call ahead of time to make sure they are open. I was looking forward to the wood-fired pizza! Too bad! The place looked really cute on the inside. Just hope they don't get robbed with the door open like that! read more

I love the ambience here. The servers have been great. Great gluten free pizza. It's so good I drive from Verona WI just to dine here.

Great service!! Great food! Good size portions! We had the lasagna pizza special! It was delicious! We were glad we chose this restaurant! We had actually considered both this restaurant and the one across the street. We had kids with us so we called both to ask a few questions. The brew pub across the street hung up on us. The customer service at Popolos was perfect. I would highly recommend this restaurant. read more

We really enjoyed our meal at Popolo's - it's a great find in Mineral Point! The bartender let us in on a little secret about their pomegranate mule (not on the menu) but it was delicious, without being too sweet! The flatbread + warm cheese/marinara appetizer was my favorite. We also tried the caprese salad, calamari, pork belly risotto and a build your own pizza. The pork belly risotto was great, just as rich as I assumed it would be. All the food was excellent, I only marked it down one star due to the service. We called to make a reservation for 5 and they said we could only make reservations for 6, but that we should have no problems. Then we arrived at 5:30pm and they said they couldn't seat us for 1.5 hours! We ended up eating at the bar. read more

This was my 2nd time here while I was in the area. What a charming town and building. The staff was super pleasant and very fast. They had limited tables because of Covid but we got in pretty quickly. All the food was outstanding. Loved the flat iron steak especially. Keep up the good work! read more

The owner, Wendy. Was rude to my mother, my son, and I. Also, they gave us 2 tinfoils and no box for our leftovers. Of a 3 course meal. It didn't even fit. She demanded extra money bc we were dining in to get boxes. Said that in front of other customers I knew. read more

Nice ambience, and I've eaten there several times, but lately the food has been disappointing. It was much better a couple of years ago, pre-pandemic. The pizza is still OK, but this past week I ordered a lamb ragu on pasta, and it was utterly bland, tasteless. I won't be going back soon, and if I do I will stick with pizza. Another downer - they don't serve any wine by the glass. The servers are quick to point out that you can take the rest of a bottle home that you don't finish (and they do have some modestly priced bottles - kudos for that). But be careful, if you're driving, this will violate Wisconsin's open container law, unless the bottle is placed somewhere that is inaccessible from the driver's seat. read more

We hadn't been here for over a year and realized Friday night what we had been missing! My wife and our oldest daughter stopped in and had an amazing meal. The pizzas were hot and crispy and the shrimp Alfredo had just the right amount of everything. Not too much Alfredo sauce, not too much garlic, it was perfect. The bar had a nice selection of tap beers. We showed up a little before 6:00. There was a 40 minute wait and the bar was full. No worries we just put our name in, went across the street for a bit and came back. read more

Awesomeness from beginning to end. Can't wait to go back. Pasta was great. Will be trying pizza next.

This place was recommended to us by all of the local shop owners we chatted with. We saw a few of them there as well. Our dinner was delicious. I had the Belladonna pizza and it. Was. Perfect. My guy had the chicken cacciatore which I had a bite of. It was super tender and tasty. The matcha green tea cake with mascarpone cream cheese frosting was flavorful but not super heavy. Which is great after a ton of bread and cheese. We had a lovely time and will be back in the summer! read more

Popolo Pizzeria - Pizza Near Me - Mineral Point, Wisconsin

I've been to this restaurant twice to celebrate my father's birthday. There's a reason we go back. Popolo is a quaint restaurant that offers delicious food and a large selection of drinks. On our most recent visit they had a specials menu of drinks and food. I ordered the scallops and was not disappointed, they were absolutely delicious! Though, while the prices are fairly reasonable, I was pretty disappointed that my meal only came with two scallops. The place is decently sized, but at times it does feel like the tables are a little too close together. We scooted our table forward a bit so the staff could actually pass through with having to force their way between chairs. This place is also accommodating of children, though they don't have a children's menu. But, my niece was pleased with the spaghetti and meatballs! read more
