We loved our visit to Punch Pizza. The staff were friendly, the restaurant was clean and the outdoor patio was lovely. Our food was delicious. We each got a small salad with our pizzas. We both had leftovers too. Great portion size and the food was very tasty. read more

This is such a great lunch/dinner spot! It was totally packed with people when we went but they were still really quick to make our pizzas. The staff are friendly and hard working! I got the Adriatico and it was great. They didn't have the outdoor patio furniture out yet which was a bummer, but it's close to the river so you can eat at the picnic tables nearby. There wasn't a single open table inside when we went. read more

Went to try Punch Pizza today and was pleasantly surprised. The setup is a bit different from a lot of other pizza spots around the city, with more flatbread style, dinner sized pizzas. Service was fast and smooth, and the worker who helped us was very friendly and walked us through the menu, which made ordering easy. The pizza itself was really good. I tried both the pepperoni and the margherita, and both were solid. One of my favorite touches was being able to add olive oil and balsamic on top, which took it up another level. Prices felt fair for the quality. I would definitely recommend checking it out. The only downside for me was the seating. It feels a bit cafeteria style and very open, which is not my favorite, but it clearly fits the overall vibe of the place. read more

By now punch pizza is a nostalgia spot for me. So I might be ever so slightly biased. The pizza is always good, hot and as expected. The counter service is fast. The folks that bring us the pizza always bring the extra one if they mess up our order or accidently make it twice. which strangely has happened a couple of times. I'm not one to look a gift pizza in the mouth. While it's a bit rushed to eat and move on to offer your table or seat to the next person while you are occupying the seat it is always comfortable and nice. read more

I have yet to experience a Punch pizza I actually enjoy. I just don't like their style of water center pizzas which seems to be at all locations. As for this location, the pizza was served hot and fresh and the tables were all clean and a good ambiance. read more

What more can be said about Punch? It's a Minneapolis classic and it rarely disappoints. The pizzas come out fast and consistent. They are personal sized so my husband and I typically each get our own pizza and then split a large salad. I enjoy the chopped salad and the punch salad, I'm sure the others are good too. One hot tip I've learned is that you can order the pizzas well done! It doesn't avoid the wet middle of Punch style pizza, which I know is a turnoff for some, but as long as you don't have toppings that burn easily I like it. Generally this is super quick dinner but I did go on a Friday night last night and they were a little backed up. The staff there is always super nice! So glad they are back in business at this location after being closed for a bit during the pandemic. Those were dark days!! read more

First time at this location and loved it as much as the others! The pizzas were delicious, I got my usual Toto, and service was friendly and speedy. The restaurant was super clean as well. We also were excited to find out that they have a super cute patio! It was so nice to be able to eat outside here during the summer. Dedicated parking lot is a plus in this area as well! read more

Always a fan of Punch! I took a friend for the first time and we sat outside at this location and it was such a nice patio area. I always get the Napoli with pepperoni and goat cheese with a side of parmesan and olive oil. This location is nice because it has its own parking lot. Even with the construction, it is still pretty easy to get to and plenty of parking even if you have to park on side streets. Service was quick and they came by a few times to check in on us. read more

I was CRAVING pizza and had never stopped at Punch Pizza near my apartment. I had walked by several times but always assumed it was just a chain and wouldn't like it. Oh, so wrong!

Punch will always be my favorite pizza in the Twin Cities. I have been here more times than I can count; we usually do takeout and bring it to a park or a friends house but their locations have a good space for a meet up too. My go to is a large punch salad -it's so flavorful and you get focaccia bread on the side. You can't go wrong with any pizza either; my favorite part is saving the crust for the end and dipping them in balsamic oil and vinegar :) read more

I recently went here to grab a bite to eat at punch pizza only to find out that they changed their beloved gluten free crust... I used to adore their older crust that looked a lot like the regular crust just a bit thinner. It had an amazing flavor. Slightly sweet, chewy, crispy, salty, stretchy perfection. But the new crust was dark brown, hard, gritty, tasted like cardboard, no flavor at all, and tasted like a very basic gluten free frozen crust you'd get from the grocery store. Also the cheeses seemed to taste very different on top and there seemed to be less cheese then it used to have and less flavor. Please PLEASE bring back the gluten free crust everyone used to love at every location please! I heard a lot of my gluten free friends say they won't come back because it's not a good gluten free crust anymore. I even have a photo of the old crust to show how good it looked! read more

Reading these reviews I am very sad to find out it's true, the gluten free crust has been changed. Punch used to have one of the best gf crusts well worth the extra cost & tasted like any other wood fired pizza did. The crust was fluffy & chewy & perfectly thin. It brought out the sauce flavor. This new crust has that weird sweet cardboard flavor that plagues most gf crusts. The second I saw it I knew it came from a box & it now overpowers the other flavors of the pizza. Punch pizza I love you please hear the cries of your gf customers because at this point I'm never coming back. read more

Why change something that isn't broken? The New Gluten free crust is TERRIBLE, bring back the old one!! Nothing about this new one makes it special anymore... just tastes like any bland gluten free pizza you can get anywhere else without the higher $$$, please bring back the old gluten free crust!!! read more

Gluten free pizza is RUINED. They changed the recipe and not only is it tinier, it tastes horrible & they put no cheese on the pizza. It was genuinely Udi's style pizza crust & marinara. Tried it and genuinely so disappointed. Didn't even finish it. It is no longer a comparable punch style pizza, you're better off buying a frozen GF pizza from the grocery store. No longer paying an extra $3 per pizza for a now smaller & not unique style pizza. :/ super bummed. read more

Without too much bustle, finally there is a REAL Italian Pizzeria. Even more, la vera Pizza Napolitana. For many reasons. First of all, the brick oven. The Trade Mark. Second, but most important the tomato Passatta o tomato puree sauce and the fine ingredients. Nothing strange or insulting the Italian tradition. And, third, the varity of pizza presentations in the menu. BRAVO! By the way, the Margherita Pizza is delicious. The name comes from the Chef, back during the years of Queen Margherita de Savoia, who, honoring her, with the colors of the Italian Flag, prepared that Pizza for the first time. Count also with the smiles and best service. Will be back! read more

Punch recently lowered the price of the Margherita from $13.95 or so to $9.40?! Hall of fame absolutely GOATED Northeast staple. This literally never happens, but these maniacs did it without sacrificing any quality. Still as good as ever. Absolute kings. read more

This was such a cool little spot to come across! The brick oven in the restaurant was beautiful and really made for such a nice ambiance. I ordered a 'build your own' margherita pizza and added pepperoni and garlic. The texture was just thin enough and soft enough that the pizza didn't fall apart, but you also didn't feel like you weren't eating much. The brick oven really crisps the crust and the underside of the pizza that you really, just, can't get everywhere. read more

Boyfriend and I were in MN for a fun little weekend trip. A friend I go to college with said punch pizza was a MUST TRY. We decided on this for lunch and I was excited. Upon arrival it is very confusing as a first time customer. We told one of the employees we had never been and she welcomed us and kindly directed us to the menu! The menu was a little confusing, but I admit I'm also not the brightest, so I was confused on 1/2 of the ingredients, and what all the Italian (I assume) words were. We looked over the menu then went to order, this time it was another employee, he seemed annoyed and irritated that we were even there, and gave us some attitude when we ordered. When our pizza came out a 3rd employee helped us out, he was very kind and had a smile on his face. We opted to take it to go as we wanted to relax in our Airbnb. Got back to our apartment (and I know all food is best freshly made; so I kept that in mind) pizza was good, and I'm sure fresh it would've been better. However, it was comparable to blaze pizza, so to me, nothing super special. Don't think I will be back, but it was nice to try :) read more

Punch pizza is a hidden gem in Northeast. They offer incredible variety of Neapolitan style pizzas with high-quality ingredients. Where else can you get real pine nuts on a house salad? Not only is their menu bursting with flavor, the prices are very reasonable and offer a great date night on a budget! Whether you prefer to build your own or pick from their preselected list, you can not go wrong! read more

They absolutely nail the personal woodfired pizzas, my only complaint is that one isn't quite enough and two is gluttonous

Pizza is pizza but good customer service is sometimes hard to come by. I mistakenly thought that I ordered half a Greek salad and a half margarita pizza but ordered a whole pizza and a Greek salad instead because they don't do half orders. - silly me! The salad was great the pizza was huge and definitely could not finish it but the salad and pizza complimented each other very well. I explained my mistake and the head guy understood and said he would take care of it. They gave me a to go box for my large pizza and adjusted the bill without hesitation, which was such a kind gesture. Thoughtfulness and good customer service will definitely keep me coming back. read more

Of the cities Neapolitan pizza joints, this is by far my fave. Though the center of the pizza can sometimes get soggy due excess sauce and toppings, it's still all very tasty. While they offer several specialty pizzas (Vesuvio is my fave), you can also build your own. This time I went with the latter; margarita pizza with spiced salami and goat cheese. FYI the salami isn't spicy. I also went to with the small punch salad which comes with bread (the pizza crust) with Rosemary on it. While it is good I wish they would either chop or ground the Rosemary.... a piece got stuck in my throat. Anyway, there's indoor and patio seating and they even have parking along the side of the building. If you haven't yet, give it a shot. read more

It's been a few years and Punch is still some of my fave pizza in the cities for all the reasons. I love Neapolitan-style pizza, and Punch is efficient and skilled at producing it. The pricing is reasonable for the quality too! I still stand by my original review from 2016. Even when lines are long during peak times, they move quickly. And it's worth the wait anyways for their bubbly charred pizza crust and authentic crushed tomatoes in lieu of overly sweet acidic sauce. I love their choice of toppings, and I switch them up often because it's hard to settle on just one combo. Each pie is about $12. But today, I took the wary plunge into trying their gluten-free crust. (Note: they cook it in the same pizza oven so it's not entirely GF if you have Celiac's). And thank the gluten free pizza gods, it was delicious! The crust was thin, crispy on the outside, and soft and toothsome on the inside. One of the best gluten free pizzas I've had! It's made with rice and tapioca flour and tastes/feel pretty true to the real thing. Yay, Punch! read more

The only thing keeping this from a 5 star review is how long the pizza took. We sat on their beautiful nook of a patio. It felt European in how quiet and secluded it is. It took about 20 min for our pizzas to be ready, which is a bit longer than I'd hope from a fast casual place like this. I got the craft your own Margherita with sausage. That's my go to order, and it is absolutely fire with some olive oil and balsamic vinegar. I'll definitely be trying one of the signature pizzas next time. The Toto looked good. Street parking in busy northeast. read more
