This pizza has amazing toppings and is on par with best crust I've ever had on pizza . Worth checking out if your visiting town . And the best pizza I had in Twin Cities . Excellent atmosphere.

City Pages

Pizza never sounded so good! Besides a well-cooked pizza , one can find a whole range of toppings from fennel and anchovies , to traditional pepperoni and sausage . Black Sheep has it all! Read more

Sharifa Simon

I find myself craving their Chop Salad . It's so good! This place gets super busy, but delivers in taste. The pepperonis are huge and The Oyster Mushroom pizza was a unique mix of flavors, a must try!

Malo Medina

Had the much bragged about #5 which was pretty delicious! No olives though. Had the pizza bread as an appetizer with Marinara sauce ! Definitely try this place at least once!

Carly Foy

This is the quarter Sicilian - PLENTY for one person! It is very good, fresh & crispy ! I will be back to try a #5 very soon!

City Pages

Getting a little smudge of char on your face is inevitable when you're messily digging into a slice of Black Sheep's outstanding pizza . It's a flavor that goes well with everything.

Andrew Budd

Good coal fired oven pizza . Definitely different from the standard fare, but well worth it if you enjoy perfectly singed crusts and fresh ingredients .

Marky McFly

Surprised there is no tip here mentioning the pricing model on the pizzas will easily put you in the $80 range if you order three 16" pizzas . Great taste and superior quality will ease the pain.

City Pages

The Meatball , Ricotta , and Garlic Pizza will make every vegetarian question why they stopped eating meat in the first place. Read more

Georgia Ansley

I definitely recommend the "make your own" with chicken and feta . Great location, great service, great food.

Cole Kennedy

Tally up another vote for the #5 (with fennel sausage , hot salami , onions , and green olives ). Can't go wrong with the meatball and ricotta , either.

Vince Martinez

Very good pizza ! Toppings fresh and great flavors, perfectly cooked crust thin, bubbly, crispy and tender.

Kyle Baker

The #4 and the #8 are by far the best pizzas . I usually do smoked mozzarella on the #4 instead of the ricotta .

City Pages

This Warehouse District pizzeria puts a big premium on its crust, which has an evenly cooked chewy/crunchy texture that's second to none. Read more

Stevie C.

So delicious! It's tiny, so get a drink while you wait for a table. Also, their house salad is to die for!!!

Allie Morris

Really exceptional pizza , they don't skimp on toppings and leftovers make an awesome cold pizza breakfast the next morning!

Tami Cabrera

I love their fennel sausage (good sausage !), fresh tomato , and ricotta pizza . House wine is very good too!

Hank Brekke

The perfect neopolitan pizza in Minneapolis ! The 16" is great to split with two people, and they can split the type.

Heavy Table

Go with the #5: fennel sausage , hot salami , thinly sliced white onion , and cracked green olives . It’s brilliant! Read more

Justin Edwards

We drive from south of the river at least once a month to come here for lunch .... Totally worth it.

Chris Moore

Can't go wrong with any of the pizzas . They make a solid old fashioned too

Nick Sonsteby

Get extra pizza sauce on the side — not because you need it, but because it is delicious!

Lisa Sosa

Check out the cocktails . Sparkling margarita was my favorite. Yummy pizza .

Dr. Health Inspector

More burnt crust pizza . Just because you have a great oven doesn't mean you make great pizza . I'll pass on any more visits.

Brent Lien

Off menu , call it the #11: substitute smoked moz and add pepperoni to the #10

Chris R

The meatball and ricotta pizza is amazing! Get the blue cheese salad .

Kyle Baker

Steel toe Provider is one of the best blondes on tap . They are one of the few that have it always on tap .

Adam Steeber

This is the best pizza place in Minneapolis. The crust is BOMB!!

Beth Kaufman

BEST PIZZA IN MINNEAPOLIS (sorry, had to shout it). Sit at the bar or get a booth (and be ready for a wait no matter the day). Get the garden or farmer's salad as a starter...you won't regret it.

Marc

Great Pizza , the best in town . Very kid friendly too, they have books for kids to read while you wait.

Mpls.St.Paul Magazine

Try the #5. This pizza , with its coal-fired crust, meaty fennel sausage and hot salami , and flourish of onions and olives .—Mpls.St.Paul Magazine, February 2011

Ricky DeMello

Great staff and delicious pizza - what more to ask for?

Nick B

Love the expanded space and bar . Pizza is always good - now with more space!!

Lenette W.

Great little spot for a pizza , salad and beer . Would highly recommend.

Clinton Desmond

The Sicilian pizza is a work of art .

Dragan Čolaković

Try house salad to start with, and then order large pizza with pepperoni , oyster mushrooms and goat cheese . You will love it!

Don Kippert

Great pizza ! Salami with dried red peppers is my personal fave...give it a go!

Mpls.St.Paul Magazine

The meatball and ricotta pizza is an elegant tribute to those two Italian titans. Just try it.

Lindsey Haugen

Get the side of marinara - no matter what you order. Trust me, it's worth it!

Steve Bivans

Best pizza I've ever eaten. Period. Must have the fennel sausage

Ryan Weldon

The hot salami & dried chili pepper pizza is the best!

Seth Thompson

Oyster Mushroom pizza ... Not a huge mushroom fan but love this pizza !!!

Jen @ Radar

Chop Salad a must! Love the #5! Oh If you prefer a crispier pizza crust , just ask for it! (They tend to be a bit wet.)

Kayla Byers

The Meatball & Ricotta Pizza is my favorite

Chris Duhaime

While the small dining room may account for a wait, the food and experience is well worth it!

Vivian Wang

Get the oyster mushroom and garlic pizza and chopped salad

Renée Vargas

Delivery was longer than they told us over the phone but the pizza was delicious.

Matt K.

Grab a #5 and a #8 with the market salad and a liter of house red . If you aren't able to go with Adam T, Evan B, and Josh Z (like I have the pleasure of doing), grab 3 other friends.

Tamara Temple

The meatball was rather awesome. 12" is too much for me, good to split.
