Pizzeria Lola

Inspired by the pure love of food, joy and her mother's own delicious cooking, owner Ann quits her day job, opens an artisan pizza pie place and names it after her dog. Is there anything more American than that? Yep, sometimes dreams do come true. Welcome to Pizzeria Lola.

Food Network

The pizza here really is one of a kind. Try the My Sha-Roni! with pepperoni and Berkshire pork sausage , or the Lady ZaZa with Korean sausage , kimchi and soy chili glaze. Read more

Emily Wilson

A little out of the way from the central area of the city , but so worth it. Order the My Sha-Roni and marvel at the beautiful bronze pizza oven that takes up the middle part of the restaurant .

Eater

Pizzeria Lola pizza is a thing of beauty, especially when it's topped with three kinds of mushrooms (crimini, shitake , and portabella ), two kinds of cheese (taleggio and fontina ), and truffle oil .

City Pages

The best seats at Pizzeria Lola are those at the bar , which offer a view into the fiery mouth of the restaurant 's iconic, copper-clad oven. Read more

Callie Pankow

The Iowan and the Korean BBQ pizzas are both to die for! If it's busy, just get a seat at the bar and make friends with the awesome staff . A must-go to in Minneapolis.

Nicholas Kolnik

If you’re not daring enough to try the EVOO + sea salt combo on the vanilla soft serve , try the house caramel sauce + sea salt instead. ????

Munky Schu

Love this place delicious unsweetened tea just a hint of passion fruit Korean BBQ is my fav been trying the menu and seasonal specials olive oil and sea salt ice cream must try!! Won't be disappointed

Shelly Zordich

Charcuterie plate and a kimchi pizza is an awesome dinner ! Don't forget to finish out with the olive oil and sea salt ice cream ! (just trust me, it's good!)

City Pages

America is known as the melting pot of cultures and this pizza is proof. The Korean BBQ pizza is one of the best pizza's in Minnesota and it makes us proud to be an American. Read more

Started with the marinated olives - so good! We had the Sweet Italian pizza and it was wonderful. Loved the mismatched dishes and that I could have a Cheerwine.

Lisa Grimm

Obsessed with this place. Vanilla soft serve with extra virgin olive oil and sea salt . RIDICULOUS! Salads are ideal for splitting. Everything is good. Seriously. Everything.

Cheryl Osgood

You must try the DIY ice cream sandwich : vanilla ice cream with olive oil and sea salt , paired with warm chocolate chip cookies . Amazing!

Kristen A

The cauliflour appetizer has just enough of a kick to make you forget you are eating vegetables .

Peter T

Highly recommend the Creole Pie. It's only for Fat Tuesday. It's like an explosion of flavor in your mouth. Even if you don't make it in for Fat Tuesday the rest of the menu will not disappoint!

Nicholas Kolnik

Order the La Creme & add sausage . Great combination of flavors.

Zach Duckworth

Highly recommend the My Sha-Roni and the La Creme, so good! Mixed green salad is enough for two. For dessert - the Do it Yourself Sundae !

City Pages

Voted Best Pizza by City Pages in 2012! Try the Xerxes- Rapini, feta & olives . Or the Sunnyside- Leeks , pecorino , cured pork cheek & a sunny side up egg . Without a doubt the hottest pizza joint around

Steve Young

The Lady ZaZa pizza is great. Also the cauliflower appetizer . Both are a bit spicy so keep that in mind.

Nicholas Kolnik

The Old Reliable may just be the most perfect cheese pizza in the world. ????

Best Pizza 2012: Who knew the local pizza genre needed a shot in the arm from a Korean actress cooking from a French oven in a joint named after her dog: http://bit.ly/12ytC80

Reed Enger

Best pizza in MSP. Hands down. Try the Korean BBQ and make sure to order a side of kimchi .

Bex

SHARING IS CARING! There are so many fantastic, mouth-watering pizzas where my friends and I must do family style . Everyone gets a slice of all their favorites!

Neil Boehlke

Korean BBq and the lady zaza but the meatballs and the red sauce are so on point. Get the meatballs .

James Lankford

Everything! This place was featured on Guy Fieri's triple-D TV show. They have a lot of unique pizzas ... I had the Sunnyside pizza and loved it!

Selena Cripps

Diner 's , drive ins , and dives and made sure to check it out!we didn't care much for one the pizzas we wanted to try and our waitress took it off our bill, we gave her it in the tip! awesome!

Jess Dunow

Super awesome pizza that is well worth the wait. Also be sure to get some of the homemade vanilla ice cream with olive oil and sea salt toppings. Delish!! =D

METRO Magazine

After coming here more than a few times, everything is good, especially their gluten free dough . It actually has amazing flavor and holds up well , if not better than, regular pizza dough .

John K

Lady Za Za and My Sharoni are my favorites and I always stop in on trips to MSP. Great neighborhood spot !

Sara Glassman

Seasonal salads/vegetables and pizzas are awesome! But so are the classics - sunny side is always a day maker.

Paul Liew

It’s good to be back here. I was here back in July and now I’m back. Korean BBQ pizza , cauliflower and the mixed green salad . That’s our usual

Nicholas Kolnik

The Oktoberfest pie special is a must!

Nicholas Kolnik

The Hatch Chill Pie special might be their very best.

Kristen A

If pistachio is the soft serve flavor special: ORDER IT.

Jon Mayfield

The wait is a little crazy, but the food is great. Delicious brussels, Hawaii pie-o is masterful pineapple-on-pizza deployment

Lauren Schroeder

The pizza here is incredible. Order the My ShaRoni and whatever they have as a special. The service is great!

Arun D'Souza

Fantastic food and for the first time actually liked the vegetarian pizza more than the meat! Highly recommended!

Shawn O'Halloran

Everything has already been said in the tips but I need to add my praise as well , just order anything and be happy!... If I have to say the sunnyside is no joke.

Kristen A

The margarita is refreshing and delicious.

Nicholas Kolnik

The zucchini seasonal vegetable special is basically like crack.

Nicholas Kolnik

Get an Old Fashioned. ???? Get two Old Fashioneds. ????????

Sharifa Simon

Kimchi pizza ! Check out the wall of photos if you have to wait. Good food and it's neat to watch them make the food.

Nicholas Kolnik

The cookies . Get the cookies .

Micah Spieler

The Korean flavors here are awesome. I've always found the Sunnyside pizza a bit strange, but it definitely tastes good.

John K

Lady ZsaZsa & My Sharoni are my favorites! Best pizza in MN. Must stop on every trip I make to the Twin Cities

Gordon Wright

Really good, original pizzas . And the soft serve vanilla with olive oil lives up to the hype.

Thomas Brasseur

It's always packed but the pizzas are sooo good. If the three little pigs is on the menu you HAVE to get it!

Blake Engel

Boise pizza : Potato , gruyere , cream, caramelized onion , rosemary . Insane. And soft serve . Do it.

Anthony Welter

Korean BBQ pizza is my favorite. Try the ice cream wth olive oil and salt. Way better than it sounds.

Curtis Shoung

lady zaza is legit. got a good kick to it and that nice kim chi funk (in a good way!)

Shannon Bird

Hawaii Pie-o was great if you like pineapple !! Roasted Cauliflower is good bit spicy for none spice people.
