Favorite Pizza places

OK,  you probably guessed by now I love pizza so I decided to post a list of some of my favorite pizza places in the Twin Cities area. These are in no particular order.

MaMa's in St. Paul. You get a cone after every meal and they place a bib on you to keep  your shirt tidy.

Angelos- located in St.Paul on White Bear or in S. St. Paul.  The atmosphere in the St. Paul restaurant hasn't changed in over 30 years nor has their food.  And that's a good thing.

Hearthside's in St. Paul - always taste yummy after a night of drinking.  They used to let you eat peanuts and throw the shells on the floor but alas no more.

Savoy's Pizza - they have locations all over the Twin Cities and in Western Wisconsin. I believe Rocco's is an offshoot of Savoy's too. . Some say, and I agree, that the original Savoy's on 7th street in St. Paul is the best.   You can even purchase frozen pizzas (at least in Eagan).

Carbones - one of my favorite places.  They are located all over the TC's.

Roadside Pizza St. Paul- perhaps overshadowed by the nearby Hearthsides, Roadside is not bad. They have a dine in or take out special for $9.95.  Plus you can get a slice for lunch.

The Little Oven in St. Paul- this used to be Ron n Ally's. Located on the east side, the parking may be tight but the food is worth it.  Besides, who else has a buy one lg pizza get one free?

Broadway Pizza- OK, I can't leave my friends on the other side of the river out.  There are several locations throughout the TC's but I like the one in Mpls, on Broadway of course.  Look for the caboose.

The Village Inn- Hudson, WI- I also can't forget my friends in Packer country.  Great atmosphere and where else can you enjoy live music and a beer while waiting for your pizza.  If you're out that way give it a try.

 The Italian Pie Shoppe- both in St. Paul on Grand or in Eagan.  I recommend the Chicago Style Deep Dish.

Sam's Club - no this is no typo. Did you know you can buy a whole pie at Sam's Club for less than most other pizza places. Or stop in for a slice.  I don't think you need to be a member.

Piccolo's in Eagan - not nearly as well known as Carbones or Savoy's but don't overlook Piccolo's. They have a great sausage pizza.  Bring your cash, no credit cards accepted.

Aurlio's Pizza- Roseville - This is the only location in Minnesota for this authentic Chicago style thin crust pizza. It's tucked away on Hamline Ave.  I sometimes make a special trip from Eagan.

America's Test Kitchen Homemade Pizza - or do as I sometimes do, and make your own.  This is my recipe for deep dish pepperoni.

Lombardi's NYC - If you're in the big apple and in Little Italy check out Lombardi's. One of the last of the coal fired oven pizzeria's in the city.

The Crocodile, Seattle - where else can you enjoy a wood fire pizza in a place where the likes of Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Mudhoney, and Yoko Ono once played! If they're still there say hello to "Babs" the waitress with the butterfly tattoos and "Eddie" the bartender from LA.

Well I could go on and on but for now I'll leave my list as is.  Let me know of your favorite pizza joints so I can check them out too.
