The pizza was honestly so disgusting that it was hard to choke it down. It was somehow dry and too greasy at the same time, and had almost no flavor at all. My fiancée's wings were undercooked and the sauce was atrocious. As if it wasn't bad enough that the pizza was gross, the cookies took it to a new level. I'm not usually one to complain about cookies, but these were some of the worst cookies I've had in my life. I couldn't even finish a single bite before spitting it out. read more

My partner and I ordered delivery from here for the first time since moving. I figured new place, new faces, new me after coming out, why not try all the restaurants possible? So we ordered pizza after a long day of work/unpacking. The food was absolutely atrocious. We have tried well over a dozen places in the city so far (more reviews to come!), with relatively good luck. This place ended all of that. The pizza was absolutely mid. The wings were undercooked, soggy, and small. The sauce smelled... Questionable. I ended up tossing the order of wings and chalked it up to bad luck. At least I had the cookies. The $1.50 cookies per that had far too much salt, butter, and nut flavor for what a simple chocolate chip cookie should have. I had to resort to consuming Oreos as a comfort snack due to the sheer revulsion I had succumbed to from this most unfortunate experience. The worst part? The delivery driver. I am not one to judge (never throw stones from a glass house), but I don't believe I have ever been so uncomfortable to interact with someone outside of a card shop or Target. The stare, the attempt at chatting me up whilst I was trying to sign the paperwork, the attitude.. I handed over the money faster than if I were stuck up at gun point. This man caused a primal fear. Needless to say if you value your time, money, life, or simply want something good, try... Probably almost anywhere else. read more

Wow! Why did it take me so long to find out about this place? I had the supreme delivered through GrubHub because I was out all night and starving when I got home. Normally if I'm starving anything I order is a disappointment. It's like I get so hungry that I build the meal up in my mind to heights nothing real can reach. But this was amazing. Reminds me of my favorite pizza place in my hometown, a family owned place that was around for several generations. It had the same crispy crust and abundance of fresh toppings. I also appreciated that there was beef pepperoni and beef sausage since I don't eat pork. Maybe it was the sauce, I don't know, but something was seasoned beautifully. This was a flavorful pizza. Can't recommend enough! read more

The food was great. We ordered plain cheese and with olives. service was impeccable too. Great family spot read more

I just got a slice of their cheese pizza but it was delicious! They have such a great variety of options, so there's something for everyone.

I've gotten their pizza dozens of times, and we love it because they have the "Magnum" extra super duper large pizza. It's good quality, New York style pizza, better than all the chain pizzas. read more

Recently ordered pizza from Uptown Pizza and I was pleasantly surprised! I wanted to try a new pizza place and they did not disappoint. I ordered takeout and the service was great! Highly recommend. read more

Pretty decent pies. I've gotten delivery three times and the pizzas have been quite good. My first order was the best of the three, but overall each was quite good. The crust had a nice flavor profile, as did the sauce. For a delivery pizza it was reasonably priced. The toppings were quite good, they used fresh jalapeños not pickled (huge ++) Well worth a try. read more

Years ago when I was working at a local business, my coworkers introduced me to uptown Pizza and more specifically their buffalo chicken pizza. Let me just say that I've been addicted to that pizza for years now and we have ordered it so many times. They don't deliver to my location, but thankfully Grubhub does all the other pizzas are also very good from what we tasted read more

Pizza was amazing. The Caesar salad was subpar. The wings were yummy but I'm pretty sure they were baked which I was not expecting.

This is the that greesy, heavy, hole-in-the-wall pizza joint you order to feed the family while chilling on a rainy or snowy day. This pizza is not any of that fancy stuff found at many of the pizzerias around the Twin Cities. This is good old fashioned pizza that will slap ya with the itis after your final bite. And try them garlic knots, they are insanely good. Make sure to chew stick of gum though before conversing with your partner. Stop in and grab a slice, or order take out or delivery. Beware the delivery though. The pizza will arrive fresh, but the delivery time is crazy long. read more

Delivery will take no less than 1.5 hours. It doesn't matter what time of day it is, it doesn't matter how little or how much you order. Absolute minimum order time will be 1.5 hours. And if you call to inquire about your order at the 1.5 hour mark, you will not get a warm reception from whomever answers the phone. Believe me, I've been through this process a few times now and it's always the same thing. Today it took two hours and 31 minutes. This is the last time I order from them. read more

Love the crust on this pizza! It always comes to my door nice and hot! And the cheese is sooo melty and delicious! I can't get enough of this place. They also have really good cheesy garlic bread! read more

I wanted to try this place because lots of friends of mine say it their go-to place for pizza. I went there late on a Sunday (11:00pm late) and I called ahead and they put me on hold immediately for a little bit, so I figured they were busy? No big deal really but when I got there there were only two workers and they aren't making any other pizza's just in the back. They didn't seem like the friendliest people but it was late at night. I ordered the Sunday Night $15.00 20" 1-topping pizza deal and it was huge! The pizza had sausage on it. It wasn't the most amazing pizza I've ever had but it hit the spot, and so many leftovers to be had! I ordered the garlic knots as well, they were very good but very oily. I could only eat one because I knew I would easily get a stomach ache eating them. Overall the pizza was okay, the service was somewhat poor (but in the end they got the job done and gave me a pizza), and I'm not sure if I'd go back again with some many other pizza places nearby. Their normal prices were a little high for me. But you never know! I wanted to come back and try their baked potato pizza until I saw instant potatoes on their shelf. I would like to try other places first before I come back and take a stab at this place again! But I still think people should try this place because so many people I know love it and everyone has different tastes. The staff are going be what they are gonna be and that's whatever. read more

I used to think of Uptown Pizza favorably, but they have really let it slide over the last few years. Initially pizzas like the Manhattan (Canadian bacon, tomato, jalapenos), Thai Chicken (chicken, pineapple and coconut on spicy sauce), and the San Antonio (chicken, tomato, bacon) were novel and interesting pies. And they were, to the extent that Uptown delivered them on time and in one piece (meaning cut for eating but not looking like it had been involved in a rollover crash). Over the last several years, though, the standards have fallen and now it typically takes 1.5 hours to receive the pizza, and sometimes you feel like it won't come at all. I have also experienced the situation where the drivers/employees don't seem to know where the place is, even though they've been there numerous times and it's all set out on a grid. I guess that's their default excuse for whatever problems are going on in the pizza production and distribution areas. It's a shame, because while it's a little sleazy I kind of liked Uptown, especially their willingness to deliver late in a city that lacks an abundance of midnight-hour places. Now, though, after many late-night tries with them, I think I'm done. The pizza has developed a reputation of showing up extremely late, with few condolences, and one time we had to literally shut the door in the driver's face because it was like two-plus hours from the point of order. What does show up is, all too often, gross and inedible. I wouldn't suggest getting anything but their signature pies because they don't seem to know how to make a pizza with specific toppings properly and deliver it quickly. The pizza is almost always a mess, and tastes worse than a frozen pizza would. Their garlic toast is stale, the chicken wings are probably worse than Domino's, and the garlic knots are liable to have several fluid ounces of grease dropping out of them once penetrated. Oh Uptown, I once knew ye. I'm afraid you'll never regain your luster. Now we all regret, regret, regret.... If you've never tried them, give it a go sometime and then review it. Afterward you might find yourself with a new-found love for American Pie Pizza. read more

Uptown Pizza has the best, cheesiest pizza in the Twin Cities. We love Mark, who we think is the owner? Because sometimes he gives us free knots. When he doesn't give us free knots, we order the knots, because they are doused in butter and garlic-y deliciousness. This is an edit from my original post because I read some of the other reviews. I live about 2 miles from Uptown Pizza and they always say delivery is going to take 60 minutes or so, but they have always come in under that time. I wanted to address this criticism in my post because I've had a really great experience with delivery. read more

Driver literally stole my order. I called the store and they said that Slice gave them my wrong address. I called Slice and confirmed my correct address.

Gross. You find the coupon in your apartment mailbox, and you think to yourself, "Hmm...maybe I should break away from my mainstays!" After waiting for your pizza for over two hours (seriously), the pizza arrives and it's soggy, yet a little rubbery. Do not choose this adventure. If it were possible to give 0 stars, I would. Slow service and not-very-good pizza? Ugh. read more

Uptown Pizza - two pizzas with pepperoni and ketchup - Pizza Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Uptown Pizza is my go-to pie shop for three reasons: it's cheap, it's generous, it's no-frills. I prefer an Uptown pie to Pizza Luce ANY day. They're a small, friendly bunch that doesn't mess around with vegan toppings or gluten-free crusts. It feels very classic. They offer a big, weird (there's broccoli AND coconut) selection of toppings, but I find it's best to order something simple. I love cheese, and mountains of it. At Uptown, if you order extra cheese, you get super DUPER extra. The sauce is flavorful. The crust is solid. And once you're a customer, they'll send you adorable neon-colored coupons in the mail, all the time. Basically, when you're craving straight-up, Monday-Night-Football, 90s-teen-movie style pizza, Uptown's your gal. And hey--how can you ignore that "Magnum" pizza size? read more

We gave this place another try after a gross pizza experience a few years ago. Unfortunately we had forgotten how bad the pizza actually is when we ordered it. It took well over an hour for it to arrive and the guy couldn't find our house. Now, it's not like we live in St. Paul where the streets all have names and you need an atlas, sextant, and sherpa guide to find your destination. We live in South Minneapolis on [number]th Avenue and [number]th Street South. The pizza. Was awful. Bland, flavorless, limp crust. Cloyingly sweet sauce (like that stuff in the Chef Boyardee Pizza Kits). Thick mat of questionable cheese. Sausage that tasted off. Shriveled green peppers. I'm not actually sure if we got our onions. We ended up just throwing a lot of it away. This does not happen in our house. read more

Gross. Took them forever to get us a rotten pie. And when it finally arrived it tasted like it was made by a drunken 4 year old. Good grief. In a neighborhood fitlhy with good pies why in the world anyone would put up with this joint is beyond me. read more

Uptown Pizza dropped off flyers in my neighborhood so I thought I'd give them a try. I started wondering when I saw that there were no prices on their flyer and then no prices on their website. Still, I was curious and ordered one of their specialty pizzas. Wish I hadn't. It came with different ingredients than what was listed on the flyer. How can you mess up your own advertised specialty pizza? I'd understand it if they'd misheard some crazy combo I'd made up, but this was their own advertised promotion. I'm not sure it would have been all that great if they'd gotten it right, but as it was, the fact that I ate any of it was only a measure of my hunger and that I had nothing else in my fridge. read more

I hadn't ordered from them for years, I decided to give them another try. Now I remember why I stopped ordering. Let's start with the positives: Pizza arrived on-time, was piping hot. Now the negatives. The bottom crust was not baked at all, so all the grease sunk to the bottom and fused with the delivery box, so the next day I had the fun of scraping it out of the box. Yum. Guys, if you deliver a pizza in this state, there's this new crazy invention called tinfoil. You may want to try it underneath your grease-wheels. For pizza in the Uptown area, it's spendy, even with the never-ending $2 off coupon that you can print off their website. Which, by the way, does not specify pricing. So if you're trying to figure out what a large 2-topping will actually cost you, you have to actually call them and talk to their phone guy, who will "swear to God this will be the best pizza you've ever ordered!!!" (1) Not so much. (2) I don't believe in God. Finally, after all was said and done, the pizza arrived and it was as bland as Jay Leno at 9PM. No 'zing' whatsoever. Not that they should have put Jalapeños or something on it, it just didn't have character. I kind of wish I'd ordered Domino's with their new slogan "Hey we know our pizza has sucked for years, and we've spent a bajillion dollars on advertising trying to convince you it doesn't suck, but now it doesn't suck anymore. Really. We swear!" read more

Hands down the best pizza I've had since moving to the Twin Cities, with the possible exception of Big River Pizza - but they are different genres; Uptown is a neighborhood slice/delivery place, Big River is pickup-only and restaurant-focused. The crust had the perfect chew and was shaped really well. The sauce had a bit too much oregano for my taste, but there was exactly the right amount of it. The toppings were generously distributed without being overwhelming. And best of all, the pizza arrived within an hour, hot. Great experience. I am crying a little from the beauty. read more

This is great pizza place, if you are looking for pizza with extra cheese on it. A little greasy but does the trick. Great portion size on the cheese bread! I used their online ordering tool. It was a little clunky and it did not give you an accurate estimated delivery time upon receipt. The coupon code did not work either. If you got the time, this is place for you! read more

I have loved uptown pizza for years and have spent thousands of dollars with them. One thing that made them better than others is that they are local and did not play all the games with delivery fees and other things. Today I called to order a pizza for my regular order it had increased by $2.00 I questioned the employee and he said it was their new delivery fee. I am very very disappointed that they went to that level just to get more money. I can understand price increases due to increased food prices but to hide it in a delivery fee is frustrating. I guess I will just have to order from Luce where they don't have a delivery fee and now it looks like they offer points to earn "stuff". Gunna miss uptown pizza a lot unless they remove the delivery fee. read more

Never a dull moment when ordering uptown pizza. They load it up with tons of toppings! They have tons of choices as well. I've had the best pizzas living in NYC and uptown pizza reminds me of NYC pizza. I've ordered at least 10 times now and one time it was slow. I order the 20 inch pizzas too. Will always order from them for a good pizza night! read more
