Punch Neapolitan Pizza

There isn’t a place in the world where pizza is more ingrained in the culture than Naples. It is, after all, where pizza was born. That includes firing your pizza in a wood-burning oven to a blistering 800 degrees. Punch utilizes the same centuries-old techniques that Neapolitan masters use to create a truly authentic pizza. The world’s finest San Marzano tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and top-secret dough form the foundation of the pizza, but the true craft is in mastering the wood fired oven. Punch Pizza has eight locations in the Minneapolis/Saint Paul metropolitan region.

Something about a chewy crust with spicy salami + onions and a whole lot of balsamic vinegar to dip your crust in makes Punch one of the best pizza offerings in Minneapolis. Simply the best.

Amazing wood fire authentic Neapolitan pizza . Punch went above and beyond expectations when they accidentally put garlic on my Toscano- they remade it and gave me the wrongly made pizza for free!

Pretty solid pizza ! Sauce could be a little more tangy , have to try it D.O.C. style next time. Very friendly service , delicious artichoke dip

Brad

Punch always delivers on great food, but it's stellar service at all locations is noteworthy. Last night we were treated like we were in a white tablecloth place even though the tab for three was $44.

Hank Brekke

Great for lunch with a friend or coworker. Check their menu online if you want one of their signature pizzas .

Henry Spruth

The Napoli has more flavor than the Margherita , unless you really love basil or something

LJB3 Entrepreneur Marketing

best traditional pizza in Twin Cities , they are consistent and never had a bad experience probably because their twitter followers are really loyal and vocal

Mark Bellestri

Better than the real thing! Went to Naples a few years back and had their famous pizza . The Pizza was great in Naples but it is better at Punch. They have managed to out do Italy.

Jeiran Hasan

Katarina pizza special was delicious! So are the margherita pizzas too!

Don Pablo

Hands down order the Puttanesca! Who knows the sirens might just appear and lure you into the local house of ill repute. As the legend goes...

I love the Rocket Salad . Love that they made it a permanent part of the menu!

The Mimi pizza (add Piparras Peppers ) is incredibly fresh and delicious.

The bread you get with your salad and the pizza is great to.

Try the Toto. With a light touch of cheese , peppery arugula , and the bite of garlic and red pepper , this pie is all business.

Michael W

Great place. Would be great if they gave you time to eat the salad bringing the pizza .
