Pizzeria Lola

Featured on Food Network’s Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, Pizzeria Lola is a modern pizzeria serving delicious wood-fired pies and wines from around the world. Some favorites include the My Sha-Roni! made with the house red sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni, and house made fennel sausage and the Lady Zaza topped with house made kimchi and Korean sausage, serrano peppers, scallions, and a sesame soy chili glaze. If those don’t catch your eye, there is plenty more to choose from, all wood-fired with house made ingredients, and all with dynamite flavor. Pizzeria Lola also has a list of beers and sodas in addition to the great selection of global red, white, and sparkling wines.

Black Sheep

As the first coal-burning pizza restaurant in Minnesota, Black Sheep Pizza seeks to honor the origins of pizza-making in the United States. When pizza first came to America, coal was burned in the first ovens used to bake pizza in the states. Since then it has evolved to wood-fired and more modern oven methods, but Black Sheep keeps with the coal-firing tradition and the best ingredients possible to create the great American pizza for all guests. Choose from a menu of specialty 12 and 16-inch pies, go for the square Sicilian, or create or own with any variety of Black Sheep’s toppings. Beverages include soft drinks, lemonade, organic milk, and chocolate milk for the young ones, while the 21 and over crowd can pair their pie with any one of the beers on tap or house wine selection. Black Sheep produces wonderfully crispy crusts and imaginative toppings in an industrial environment that pair well with the coal-burning homage to American pizza roots.
