Reviews of Pizzeria Pezzo
Ed Goff
One of our top pizza restaurants in the Twin Cities! The Heart of Sicily is fresh and has an awesome dressing. Their deep dish pizzas (order quickly as they take 45 minutes) are top notch - we love the Lincoln Park pizza - so good! Highly recommended!
Rachael Meuwissen
Everything was very good. The artichoke dip was delicious and the lemon basil wings were pretty tasty. The pizza was good but could've had more sauce.
Sue Jones
We had the deep dish pizza. It was the Gold Coast. Others at our table had the Wrigley. Everyone that worked here had a smile! Restrooms very clean. Maybe a little loud, but that was too be expected with the number of patrons. Taste of Sicily salad was delish!
Megan Skaggs
Pezzo is always delicious. We had their cheese dip and pizza, everything was delicious and our waitress told us to dip our crust in our dip... so amazing. Will always go back to Pezzo.
Shawn
Restaurant ambiance felt great. Service was amazing and the food didn't disappoint. Great drink selection and some good craft cocktails and taps. The wine selection looked good as well. We had the meatballs as an app. They were great and loved that they came with bread and a salad. Also had the pizza we went with the Carne on the regular crust it came out fast and the flavor was great. Specifically liked the sausage. After the pizza sat for a minute the center got a little soggy. But overlooked as it was still amazing. My daughter got the veal rigatoni, very simple but well done. If I ordered that I would get it with the meatball app personally. Overall great experience. Oh we showed up early as they can get very busy.
Peter Goldberg
I went here for a work event with 25 others in a private room, so I can say that the pizza was delicious and I got to try 5 or 6 of them. I don't know how the typical dining environment is, although the restaurant was big it seemed fairly nice when I walked through. I am happy that my company was paying, but the price was reasonable for coal fired pizza.
Nicole Dobbe
Not only is the food amazing but they give your kids a ball of real pizza dough to play with. Brilliant. So much better than just crayons. We will definitely come back and recommend to our friends.
Henry Sommer
Prefect 5 stars
Great Chicago style pizza
Nice outdoor dinning
Excellent service
Nicky Clark Svien
Delicious food! 5 stars for the food itself but we waited 29 minutes past the time we were told it would be ready and 24 minutes past the time they told us about 5 minutes. Service was good though, the kitchen staff definitely deserved the extra $2 kitchen tip (on top of the regular tip) they have on the menu.
Kennedy Ashley
Tastes good but they barely put any toppings on, there was so much crust
Catherine Anderson
Love this pizza place. I also think the kids “dough” is a great alternative to coloring. My grandkids love it. Pizza is very good most of the time. Once in awhile it is a bit overdone.
Joshua Hanson
Pezzo has consistently been a great place for amazing pizza, salads, and more. The service is consistently outstanding and atmosphere is friendly and inviting. Our family specifically likes the Sicilian salad (served with cold plates and cold forks!) and the Wrigley deep dish pizza (amazing crust and ingredients). They have great, beer, wine, and drink selections too.
Michael Kane
This is a cool spot. Went for National Pizza Day. The pizza was great. I got the Margherita Pizza and my buddy tried the deep dish pepperoni. The deep dish wasn't as thick as other places, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Had a good beer and wine selection. Good place to bring the family.
Colin Hooker
OMG. The salads are fantastic. Couldn't believe how fresh and tasty the Italian salad is. Wow. The pizza was just the way I like it. Crispy crust. Perfect.
Sarah Barnett
So glad we found Pizzeria Pezzo. The food is amazing. We love both the deep dish and the woodfire thinner crust. The Greek salad is amazing. We have loved everything we have tried. Great atmosphere and service.
Rachael Kozlowski
Great food! Great service. They’re on point. We come here a lot - have had the Italian Salad, wood fired pizza, meatballs and lasagna and everything was impressive. There are no kids menus but everything was pretty much family style with large portions and our awesome server let the kids play w dough while waiting to eat. It’s always busy and Weds is half price bottle of wine night. Go here. It’s delicious!
Ridgerider
One of the worst beef sandwiches ever - soggy, horseradish aioli lacked any hint of horseradish. Had I not been there b4 and had excellent gorgonzola pizza, I wouldn't be going back. Nice patio, lots of harley noise - on both occasions. Excellent service.
Jeff Bates
Deep dish pizza at its best. Beer selection was good. Friendly service! Definitely will return.
David Reimer
We will absolutely be back! Really great pizza - regular pepperoni but was fantastic. And the winner of the evening was their Roasted Red Pepper Artichoke dip. Hands down, THE BEST artichoke dip we have ever had. I can't imagine ever finding a dip this good anywhere. You won't be disappointed by their pizza, you may not want to ever leave if you try their artichoke dip.
Gary wojtowicz
Food was good. Over priced for the portion size and no friendly to those who don't want to use an app or QR code to order online. I tried calling and no one ever answer the call after their long message.
Jim Rathe
Excellent choice for takeout or dine-in. The pizza’s among our favorites. Great atmosphere and friendly staff.
Maria Opatz
Delicious food and excellent service. Pezzo was able to accommodate our large group on late notice tonight and as always, we had a great experience. Thank you!
Vinny Lamovec
You could transport this restaurant to Chicago just the way it is and it would fit right in and do very well. The deep dish pizza is fantastic with buttery, flaky crust and tons of cheese. The coal-fired is very good too! Get one of each so the coal fired pizza can be your appetizer while you wait for the deep dish. Well worth the trip if you live in the cities.
Sinclair Stolle
Delicious! We had the Farmer's Market salad (enough to feed about 5 people) and 2 pizzas (for 3 people). All was great! Nice seating area outside (not as noisy).
Andrew Huber
This place is the best for deep dish pizza!!! The Sicilian salad pairs well with the Wrigley deep dish pizza! The Italian sandwich is super tasty as well! Top it off with some tiramisu! Sit at the bar if possible! Jeff the bartender is the best and so nice! We always have a good experience every time we go there!
Scott Young
Great Deep Dish pizza. We got the,"Wrigley". Pepperoni, Sausage, Fennel, Cheese. Really delicious and filling. We got it to go and had appetizers while we waited. It is so big and deep dish it takes 45 mins to cook. Worth the wait.
Samantha Swanhorst
First time trying this place today and it was pretty good! Just a note: they're only doing take out right now. They took our phone number and credit card info over the phone but did not call us when the pizza is ready. So, make sure you're there as ours was done earlier than we were told and our pizza wasn't very fresh. Otherwise super nice staff and a good experience otherwise!
Andrew Cloutier
Hands down one of the best deep dish pizza joints I have found in the twin cities area. The fact that I drive 40 minutes just to get a pie means that it is that good, and a must try. Until I find a better joint with more consistentcy this will me my go to place!
TJ TORSON
Best deep dish in the twin cities, and arguably equal to the Chicago greats. Taking 1 star off because it is really hard to get a table during peak times, wish they took reservations instead of using a list.
Stephen Choukalas
Another solid outing at the Pezzo. Pro tip: use the No Wait deal to get in line. No reservations and it gets super busy. Top notch salad and the pizza is coal-fires goodness.
Jennifer Bair
Whenever anyone asks where they should eat in White Bear, this is our first place we recommend. We enjoy Pezzo as a dine in and take out establishment regularly. The staff is always so kind, they take pride in their business and want their customers to have a good experience. If we have had a small hiccup, they go above and beyond to correct it. The pizza is so good that we always justify ordering more food just to have leftovers. The marscapone dip is incredible, treat yourself and start your meal off right with this appetizer.
Faith Parenteau-Ek
I wish I could give them more stars, but I've been there twice & had the same issue both times. They are very stingy with the cheese on the build your own pizza. I ordered both dry mozzarella & fresh mozzarella & still only ended up with a tiny amount of cheese. I asked the server about it & she pointed to a speck of cheese & said "that's the fresh right there". It was invisible to my eye! I have made many pizzas myself with both kinds & know what it should look like. They cheated on the cheese, plain & simple. It was the same deal the first time I ate there. The people were generally nice & the mistake pizza they brought my husband was very tasty! That's another story though.
Kent Kleppe
Pleasantly surprised by menu choices. We ordered a salad and a deep dish pizza, both were outstanding.
John Dennis
They make a very good pizza here. Have yet to try the Chicago Deep Dish.. when I go back that's what I'm trying. Great staff, very friendly.
Not a crazy amount of food options like other places.. but not a bad thing. The options they do have, they do very well.
Greg E.
There are no long and lengthy ways to say this... but this is hands down the best pizza (not a joint) around... if your looking for a great deep dish stop in here. If your looking for an amazing flat crust stop in here... if your looking to solve the mysteries of life, stop in here. I literally use every excuse I can think of to eat here
Jeff Thompson
Wow. We accidently came to Pezzo's in search of a place nearby that was closed. Had never been here before.
First of all, the staff was friendly and engaging as well as fun.
But nothing could top our dinner. We started with the meatball appetizer which was unique and delicious. It also comes with a salad which was perfect! The salad was one of the freshest I had in a long time.
Then, we ordered the Chicago deep dish Gold Coast pizza. It was unbelievably wonderful! I would highly recommend this establishment on every level.
Kent Katterheinrich
very tasty! Friendly servers. Had the deep dish, delicious. Everything is fresh. Also ordered the bread and cheese dip appetizer, also delicious. We liked that better than the pizza even. Quite a wait when we got there (a good sign) but we found a spot in the bar area (first come first serve)
Sebastian Shaw Jenkins
This place is terrific; its beautiful, the atmosphere is awesome, the customer service is great! There friendly highly motivated people who take pride in their jobs with customer service! I highly recommended it. Go!
roxanne engelbrecht
Best pizza I've had in a long time. 45 minute wait time for the Chicago deep dish but we'll worth the wait. Great wait staff
Ashley Welsh
The pizza is phenomenal. The Deep dish and Coal fire pizza are both delicious. You can not go wrong with either choice! They use very fresh ingredients too.
Michelle Rotter
The most authentic Chicago pizza in the Twin Cities. Their Silician salad was fantastic!
Zach Zarembinski
Best deep dish pizza I’ve had. The crust has a unique taste that stands out and the sauce is amazing as well. The sauce is just as tasteful while complimenting all the ingredients. I recommend just getting sausage if your on a budget but adding some of their spices will make it even better! Amazing is one way to put it…
Beth Arneson
Well, I'm single, not much for options for the single person stopping by. I wish you much good fortune with your business model. I'm just not part of it. Cheers.
Renee Haupt
Request a table back past the bar area. It's still very loud inside but a little quieter back there when they are busy.
The Italiano salad is fabulous, big enough for four. Pizzas are always super great as well!
Julie Bassett
Family reunion dinner, the food and appetizers were so good and our server, she was the best!!
Andrew Craven
Probably the finest Chicago style pizza I've had outside of the Windy City. The margherita was good too!
Mandy Thalhuber
Edited after response from management: I'm very happy to hear that pasta will be returning to the menu! Thank you for your prompt response. *Original review:* Pezzo's has amazing pizzas, no doubt about that and the service is always phenomenal. The reason I gave it 3 stars instead of 5 is because they no longer offer pasta on the menu. This place was a Celiac's dream and had some of the BEST gluten free pasta around! We recommended it to at least a dozen or so Celiacs that we know whom used to drive from all over the metro to come eat here. Very sad to hear about the pasta.
Lisa Duncan
Yummy... The crust is really unique. Good friendly service - yummy food. If you are getting a salad /eat it there, do not take your salad home. They do not live well after they've spent the night in your fridge (they're so delicious) just finish it while you're at the restaurant.
Kimberly Hiera
Food and service were great.
I came back to edit this because I think they deserve it.
I'm from Chicago lived there 35 years and in MN 20yrs.
There are only 3 places i like in Chicago a little bit more. That's out of about 50 I've been to. And Pezzo is by far the best in MN
Bunker
1st visit to this pizzeria and we were not disappointed! I discovered it on the list of ‘25 Best Pizza Joint MN’! It is Neapolitan style pizza and was absolutely fabulous! Great sauce very liberal and the cheese and fixings were the same. We will be back for certain and our Server Jeff was excellent as well!😁👌 …
Dan Burkhart
Great pizzas thin crust or deep dish.
Great wait staff & bar tenders.
CS
Deep dish pizzas are great! Coal fired are really good as well; they have had some interesting pizzas of the month. Turkey sandwich is not what it used to be, unfortunately.
Shannon Kilmartin
Hands down, best place for Chicago style pizza. Delicious appetizers, friendly staff and great waiters and waitresses!! Bartenders are also amazing. Kid friendly too! Favorite restaurant!
Jake Rosenthal
Deep dish pizza was good, would recommend it!
However asked about getting traditional chicken wings with ranch or blue cheese, they don't have that. The basil wings they do have were over complicated and very average. Not worth $15 in my opinion. Hard to believe a pizza place doesn't carry ranch dressing? I was a little disappointed.
Dean Ferguson
First time here & we ordered a deep dish gold coast: sausage, pepperoni, meatball & prosciutto with mozzarella cheese. Lots of cheese for sure but very little meat of any kind on the menu. The heart of sicily salad was so delicious & the lemon chicken wings were so tasty. But our server a young female was outstanding; answered questions, had an upbeat attitude & made sure our drinks were filled & made us fill like we were regulars. Little meat on our deep dish was a bummer yet everything else made it a 4 star.
Matthew Castillo
Had the Wrigley, which is a deep dish, and was amazing! The crust was crispy, uncommon in a deep dish, and the pizza was even great reheated. It was more than enough to eat and at a great price. Great service, great options, why wouldn't you try it out?!
Lin Brown
Deep dish was very good. Nice place but since ceiling is so high it was hard to hear each other when busy.
Stacy Welle
Great food, wine, and beer. All food is handmade that day. Servers are always happy and act as if they really want to make you night the best ever.
Update: it was really quiet on a Thursday evening, which is not what it normally was, but I saw a lot of takeout. The meatballs are fabulous and a great plate to share and come with a small side salad as well. The outdoor patio was perfect for our group.
Shanna Tensen
Very good food! We had our usual chicago style deep dish pizza. Takes 45 min for deep dish, so plan on that. Many other good selections on the menu. Good selection of craft beers and wines also.
Kim Grove
Loved the pizza, salad and patio! So good!
Mike Kaiser
Sat in the bar area with my two little ones. Service was prompt polite and crazy good from both bartenders. Pizza was killer as usual. I was craving some Chicago style deep dish and my lust was fulfilled.
Stephanie Mrachek
It's hard to find a good Chicago deep just style pizza. So since I can't be in Chicago this is the place I go to get it. If you call ahead they can even start it before you get there so you don't have to wait the 45 minutes it takes to cook a Chicago deep dish style pizza.
They have fantastic appetizers and an excellent wine and drink list, really personable service and a great atmosphere.
Patti G
I go out of my way to get pizza from here - it will take your pizza night to another level! They have fabulous deep dish with loads of cheese. The Wrigly has meat from edge to edge and the sausage is homemade. I’m also a fan of building my own pizza and they have great toppings to choose from (sometimes I wish they’d be a little more generous with the non-meat toppings, but it isn’t an issue frequently enough for me to knock a star off my review). Even just plain cheese is a treat because then you really experience the crust cheese and sauce. So good. They also do great salads. I haven’t adventured much past those menu items as the deep dish is crave-able. Best deep dish you can get outside of Chicago in my opinion.
Rachel Fog
We enjoyed the deep dish pizza very much. Great sauce and nice crust. We had good service there as well. Friendly and attentive.
Robin Holt
Always wonderful. We get the Gold Coast deep dish pizza and are always happy.
Mr. T
Absolutely delicious! This was our first time and we were very impressed. We have been looking for a local Pizzeria Uno replacement and we've found it. Pezzo's deep dish is fantastic. We will be back.
Dan Schultz
I have been to Pezzo many times and it never dissapoints. Someone recommended I try the deep dish and it was good but not my favorite. I do love their wood fired pizza, meatballs, and they serve some very good drinks!
Rebekah Doyle
Ordered curbside Chicago Deep Dish. Not impressed. Skimpy on the meat, overboard on the sauce, crust wasn't special. Service was good. Cannolis had an orange flavor to them; they were well done, but we didn't like them.
Angela Samuelsen
Went to this place because of the reviews. The food was fine. The pizza tastes like other wood fired pizza joints. The roast beef sandwich with horseradish could've been spicier. The ambience is nice and the service was ok. Definitely overrated from the reviews. They do give huge portions for their salads and sandwiches. The portions they provide for those items could feed a family. So it would save you money if you shared your food and ate family style. Plus you can try several of their menu items that way.
Patricia Michaelis
We drive almost 40 minutes one way just to get their pizza. The Gold Coast....trust me...amazing. Their coal fire pizzas, get one as an appetizer!! We’ve gotten take out from them through all the shut downs and restrictions this year and the staff has always been the absolute best. I wish all the workers well and I can’t wait till I can burn my mouth in the restaurant on a slice of hot pizza.
Amanda Johnson
Great food with some unique flavors. Everything is truly fresh and made with local produce whenever possible. They even make their own cheese! My absolute favorite item on the menu is the coal fire artichoke dip! It is not your average artichoke dip.
I would also recommend the Grecian salad. Any of the salads are good but the Grecian is my personal favorite.
Pizzas: #4 - a total classic and one can hardly go wrong with it. #13 - I'm not usually a person to mix sweet and savory so I was skeptical because this pizza has figs on it but the balsamic glaze cuts the sweetness of the figs for a beautiful unique flavor. #15 - Pretty common pizza toppings but is especially special at Pezzo.
I have not had anything bad at Pizzeria Pezzo. It can get busy especially on weekend evenings (like most good restaurants) but seems like they do well at turning over tables. Staff have all been friendly, offer descriptions and opinions (when asked) about menu items, good service.
Michael O'Keefe
Pizzerio pezzo has been a favorite of mine for many years, amazing food and even better service. I requested a reservation for a surprise engagement and they went above and beyond and surprised us with champagne and amazing personalized service! They made a special day that much better! This restaurant is the best in the area for great pizza, atmosphere and service!
Mary Ellen Hochkins
The atmosphere of the restaurant was inviting and pleasant. The food was excellent. The employees were friendly and polite and helpful.
J S
Service is always excellent. The Sicilian salad is by far the best salad, mainly due to the mustard-based dressing (tangy and bright).
Best coal-fired pizza is #5 which is their all-meat pizza (red sauce). Something delicious about the crispy prosciutto.
Lemon basil wings also hit the spot, if you like said flavors. Their turkey sandwich easily feeds two people (or leftovers for lunch) and I would HIGHLY recommend it.
Also, deep dish is worth a shot on another trip, too. I've had deep dish in Chicago and personally, it's comparable! One piece tho, and that's all you need.
*update: they’ve update their menu and changed the name of the pizza and salad and raised their prices. Great news is the tiramisu is now house made and delicious!! If you are too full but needing something sweet, wait for the mint sticks that come with your bill.
Marcellus Wallace
This is without a doubt my favorite pizza place of all time! (May it be noted I grew up in Chicago/its suburbs) The pizzas are great, both thin and deep. The small plates are amazing as well. The drink selection is adequate. I have not tried the sandwiches... The service is outstanding! The one time the service was slow (out of countless visits) we received thorough, genuine apologies, our drinks were free, the small plate was free, and they gave us an extra one, which more than made up for it. One of the stranger things I have to say is that even the customers are awesome. We repeatedly receive compliments from strangers!?
Jerome Liggett
Excellent service and very good food will bring me back again. Tried the House Roast Beef sandwich, you certainly get plenty to enjoy. The Sicilian salad for a starter was very good. The boys enjoyed their pizza, and they are quite picky about pizza. All in all an excellent experience in White Bear lake.
D Jones
One of the best pizza places in the Saint Paul area. The food is clean and fresh. The service is fantastic and the drinks are excellent. So glad we have this gem in White Bear Lake!
Jack
Can’t rave enough about this place. The food is absolutely to die for. The deep dish pizza here is amazing. Also highly recommend the lemon basil wings. I’ve never had a better wing in my life. The atmosphere is always very nice and they play great music. The patio is very well shaded and lovely to eat out on. Service is also wonderful. Just an absolutely great pizza place.
Steve
Great family spot. Nice and loud if you have kids and they will give the kids a ball of dough to play with while you wait for the food. Plan on a permanent flour dusting on the table after the fun has been had. Pizza is cooked over a wood fire grill and they have a great selection of beer and wine. They don’t take reservations so plan on sitting at the bar and having a beer while you wait....or a diet coke if that’s your thing.
Shannon Marie
Fabulous pizzas, stiff drinks. Only thing missing was a good beer selection. Choices seemed a little limited. Would eat here again. The salads looked like they were as big as my head.
Teresa Aguilera
We go there at least two to three times a month, this is one of the best pizza restaurants in the Twin Cities if not the best. We love that we can get fresh quality delicious appetizers and salads as well as great pizza, so we always leave feeling like we've had well balanced dinner. The chef really knows how to mix flavors together, everything is always excellent.
We've also always had great service and we love the ambiance.
Susan Drucker
Delicious! Great service! We didn't make a reservation and it was busy. We got a table right away in the bar area. We had a deep dish pizza, worth the wait as well as the turkey sandwich which was huge and also super tasty. Definitely will be back!
Jason Howard
The pizza we had was awesome!!! Our server, Shana, was great also attentive yet not overly so. The deep dish takes awhile to bake so be prepared for a wait. But it's definitely worth it. Next time we're there we are going to try the salads with the meal. They looked really good from the next table over.
GoldAndSilver PolkaDots
Fun vibe, professional management. Long wait to sit, and long wait for hand tossed pizza. Sauce is a bit heavy for me. I prefer light, sweet sauces, and this one has a stewed, spiced flavor. The other ingredients are fresh and delicious. The two-person pizza size is truly perfect for two people. There is no kid menu or coloring, etc, but they give a ball of dough for the kids to play with while you wait. Mine prefers to eat it! Yuck! Fun idea for older kids though! The restaurant is always quite noisy, but still enjoyable. Very friendly staff! Not a regular stop for us, but we go about every 6 months for a family night out. I recommend using the No Wait app to reserve a space in the line on busy nights.
John Gravermoen
My wife and I stopped in at Pizzeria Pezzo last night and had a fantastic meal. It was fairly busy but we were seated immediately on the patio. Our server was very knowledgeable about the drink menu and offered helpful suggestions. We ordered the Italian stuffed mushrooms and fields of bleu salad. Both were absolutely amazing. We ended up sharing the rigatoni with veal meat balls which was equally as good as the appetizer and salad. The drink menu was impressive with descriptions of their many draft beers and other cocktails. The prices were very reasonable and the overall experience was pleasant. Highly recommend.
Matt Linebaugh
This really is a gem in the Twin Cities area. Salads are always fresh, and the deep dish crust finds that right mix of texture without being heavy.
Amanda Miller
I’ve had my fair share of Chicago Deep Dish pizzas, and the deep dish I had here was by far one of the best I’ve had. The crust is crispy and buttery and the mozzarella tastes house made. Their salads feed two people as a meal, so beware if you get salad and pizza for two because that would probably feed a family of four realistically. My husband and I could only finish 1 pizza slice each after salad. We recommend trying their sausage, it was superb. Great food, great atmosphere! Definitely worth the trip to White Bear from the Cities.
Ed Sulesky
Been coming here since it opened (literally the 3rd day after) & have never been disappointed. The staff have always been friendly.
Had both the hand tossed & deep dish, we prefer the deep dish. Simply outstanding flavor & the crust just melts in your mouth. We usually do the Caesar salad (enough for at least 5 people) while waiting for the deep to cook & end up taking several slices home. Haven't had another pizza taste that good reheated the next day. Not always a cheap outing but we hit it a few times a year.
Ben Kirkham
My family and I have been here dozens of times and have never once been disappointed. My kids rarely want to go to a restaurant that does not serve mac and cheese, but they love everything they get at Pezzo. The staff is always great, the management is friendly, and they are the most consistent restaurant I can think of. We always know what to expect when we go to Pezzo, and what we expect is delicious food, excellent service, and a fair price. There is nothing we would change and we will keep coming back.
Derek Neumann
Great place in WBL area. If you are questioning, just try it. You won't be disappointed. We got an appetizer that was delicious and huge, and then a salad that was the same. We went with a white sauce pizza and I can honestly say it was one of the most flavorful pizzas that I have ever had. Simply delicious. We left with 3 boxes of leftovers and cannot wait to eat them later!!!!
Dave Saniti
Medium to medium high price range for the area, but amazing food! The (award winning) pizza cannot be beat. Must get is the Fire-side lemon basil wings. SO good!
Scott H
Delicious coal-fired appetizers, authentic Chicago-style deep dish pizza, and solid beer menu. Pizzeria Pezzo has become our go-to pizza place and easily the best deep dish we have found in the Twin Cities. The hot appetizers are prepared in a small coal oven and cooked to perfection- try the wings. Staff is attentive and accommodating, but deep dish takes time to cook so plan to wait in line on the weekends. Bar seating in front of the open kitchen gives a cooking show perspective of preparation for each dish. Summer patio seating during is a great way to relax at the end of a long day. Enjoy!
Pro Tip #1: Order your deep dish before anything else- they can take 45+ minutes to cook. You can even call ahead and get your pizza in the oven.
Pro Tip #2: If you like a loaded pizza without the grease, order the Linkin Park (vegetarian) with added sausage (it's made in-house!).
Dylan S.
Nice atmosphere, decent food, but sadly, if not expected, overpriced for what you get on anything other than their pizzas. Small app portions. Never an excuse for that when the best authentic food downtown tends to give you more than you'll ever be able to eat. Won't get pity from me on that front. Not a whole lot of reasons to choose here than Punch Pizza (for cheaper) if that's the style of pizza your going for.
Definetly recommend going a Friday or Saturday when they're busy to get the "A" team cooks. Went a week day and ordered their what use to be amazing albeit very small portion of lemon wings only to have them come almost completely charred and burnt on 1 side of all them. Pizza that day seemed "eh" as well. They offered a new batch but for the measly amount you get to $ said forget it damage/hassle was done.
Staff is also very swing or miss sometimes you'll get a friendly waiter other times somebody who's just going to slap the food on your table and run away.
C R
Was pretty good. . Our server came right away and brought stuff for the kids to play with. She was very knowledgeable about the menu. . I ordered meatballs , it was great! Sauce was a little sweet to my liking but still good. . The coal fired pizza was really good also. . Will try the deep dish when the kids are not with. . If it's great then I will edit and throw 5 stars at this place.
Liza
We love their Pizza! There are also great appetizers, & meals on their menu. The staff here make you feel like your family. Our favorite servers are Emily & Leah. Those ladies are AWESOME. The manager, Mike has the place running smooth!
William Josten
Eaten here several times and never disappointed. Can be a bit busy so be sure to use the virtual waitlist option. But it's worth the wait. I've eaten at all the best deep dish places in Chicago, and this place can go toe to toe with any of them.
Troy Sylvester
Great service from the hosts and waitress. If you are going to get a Deep Dish, I recommend " The Wrigley ". Very good and it's my home state Cubbies field. It was great being back in there after the shut down.
Gao Vang
Great pizza, BUT if you're picking up to go either call it in or place your order online. I usually order online but thought I'd give the app a try. I ordered using the app for the 1st time on 11.5.2021. I placed an order to be picked up at 6:50pm. I received a confirmation email stating pickup will be ready at 6:55pm. Went to pickup and the wait staff said I was early and showed me their ticket stating 7:35pm. I showed them my email confirming 6:55pm. I had waited 25 minutes for them to make my pizza after they said it'd be out in 15. Pizza finally comes and I leave without checking. Just my luck it's wrong. The receipt taped to the box shows an old order I had placed back on 10.15.2021. Do not use the app.

Dined in last night. We did not have reservations, yet we only waited about 5 minutes to be seated. Courteous, polite staff. Manager was active on floor, helping out in many areas and checking in with guests. Our server was very attentive and interactive. He was funny and thoughtful, offering good menu tips.
I would not categorize it as a "family restaurant", however we did bring in our 5 and 10 year old and did not receive any negative vibes about doing so. In fact, after ordering our drinks our server brought out a plate with a small floured round of dough and a wet-nap for each of our children to stay busy with.
Price point was on par with any other up-scale pizzeria. There are flat crust and deep dish offerings that are both coal fired. Quality, fresh ingredients. Lengthy salad, antipasto menu. Traditional Italian dessert menu- cannolis, gelato, tirimisu. We did not have a chance for dessert, as we were stuffed as is. We split a charcuterie board, "farm fresh salad special" (which was a spring mix-apple-blue cheese-gargonzola), the "Caccio de Pepe" (pecorino-pepper angel hair pasta), deep dish "Gold Coast" (homemade sausage, pepperoni, meatballs, prosciutto)
Covid wise- all staff was appropriately masked, restaurant was neat and clean, it is an open kitchen and all back of the house was appropriately gloved/masked, bathrooms had automatic soap and sanitizer dispensers, automatic paper towel dispenser and toe grab on door so as to not have to touch with hand. Sanitizer (foam) dispensers were also at entry/exit way. Menus were paper and disposed of after each table.

Went here as a family of four. Menu is simple; pizza and salads are the main bill of fare, but they also have sandwiches and appetizers. One thing unique is they give the kids a lump of dough to play with while waiting. We had a regular garden salad which was fresh and lightly vinegary; we ordered 2 pizzas, one sausage/cheese and the other cheese and both came out within 25 minutes. I've had better coal-fired pizza. The edges of the crust were burnt nearly black; it was surprising to me that a mildly upscale restaurant wouldn't be able to find a way to limit that, so I was a bit disappointed. It's possible their more specialty pizzas meet the mark, but your typical sausage or pepperoni pizza is better had at several other local Twin Cities pizzerias.
Service was excellent, waitstaff were friendly and good with the kids. The pizza was disappointing for the value.
Kelsey Baustian
Love this pizza place! Service is always good. The deep dish pizza is amazing. So filling, the sauce is rich and delicious and it's worth the 45 minute wait. But the star is the cippolini and whipped cheese appetizer. It's creamy and a little sweet and absolutely delightful.
Jenny Smith (Real Life Wonder Woman)
The server was awesome, however the pizza was super salty. We had all 4 different pan pizzas. We are picky though. The Italian salad was great along with the artichoke dip and lemon basil wings. Large portions. Not a bad thing. Downside is no childrens menu. So if your little one is hoping for food other than pizza or buttered noodles, might want to bring along something they might like.
Chaz Christensen
The best pizza we've ever had! Really great food all around! We had a party of 6 people, so we all ordered different things to share and try more food. We started with the Sicilian Salad and that was a great way to start, very unique, refreshing, and great flavors. We then tried the Italian Stuffed Mushrooms and the Baked Cipollini and Whipped Cheese. Both were just fantastic! Then we tried The Wrigley Chicago Deep Dish and the #2. The Deep Dish was really good, but we thought the #2 was fantastic. Bottom line, everything we had was some of the best food any of us had ever had. I would HIGHLY recommend going here, great service and great food, can't beat that!
Judy V
Pezzo took a reservation and was very accommodating to our group of 13. The service was excellent and the food was delicious, as always. We usually order one salad, the Sicilian is our favorite, and 2 pizzas for our family of 4. Others in our group loved the deep dish pizza.
Elton Gomes
Excellent deep dish pizza!
Mike Kinsella
2021 update: Love the pizza and have been going back for takeout with great experiences. This is my favorite deep dish place in the Twin Cities!
(Edited to remove text about a problem I had with a reservation system 4 years ago, because it's no longer relevant. This pizza is excellent!)
Donald P
The food is fantastic. All the times I have eaten here (at least 4-5 times) I have never left disappointed in the food. My only disappointment was that there was not more to eat. The lack of a star was the service, this staff seems to be overwhelmed consistently by the amount of people coming in. I feel after their owner passed it declined a bit because it lost its "Chicago" influence. Still the closest thing to Chicago style pizza you will find in the NE Twin Cities.
Andrew B
A great expereince from start to finish. The food was fresh and cooked to perfection. Loved my coal fire pizza. Came here off a recommendation of some friends drove 40 minutes and it did not disappoint. The service was attentive. Cold beer. HIGHLY recommend.
Paul Fischer
Great food and service! We ate there with our toddler, and they instead of a the usual crayon and kid menu to color on they give kids a baseball sized piece of pizza dough on a plastic plate to play with, which kept him very busy and happy! Also the food came out very quickly. If you are looking to split one of their amazing pizza, and try something else as well, the roast beef sandwich is the best I have ever had.
David Yost
My family visited Pizzeria Pezzo for the first time tonight, and we thought it was great. The service was excellent and the pizza was great. Pints of beer for $5.50 was about what you'd expect. The thin-crust pizza with pepperoni, prosciutto, and cheese was delicious. So was the roasted pepper and artichoke dip appetizer. We will go there again.
Richard B
Super excellent pizza; good prices either in deep dish or thin crust. Some of the best pizza I've had ever. They have a large turnover with their employees I think and it's almost a 50/50 chance you'll get either good or poor service at your table. But pizza alone is a 11 out of 10!
Kimberly Pickens
The artichoke dip app was amazing. However the pizza was not my favorite.
The service was great. No complaints really. I will just have to find something I like instead of the pizza.
Da Ha
I am always here right after it opens. That means that there is rarely a crowd, so servers are prompt and the pizza arrives quickly. Now, I LOVE this pizza, fresh, great ingredients and hot ~ just the way I love it. Their salads rock as well. Bring your kids, they give raw dough for them to play with, brilliant!!!!
Jim Wear Jr.
Great food, friendly, quick service at a reasonable price make this restaurant a wonderful place to enjoy a meal.
Nicki Obeidzinski
Fantastic pizza! Deep dish is so tasty, fun drink menu and the baked Goat Cheese appetizer is my fav. They’ve got the contactless Takeout thing figured out! We’ve ordered several times during all this COVID craziness. Highly recommend!
Mick Dutcher
I love Pizzeria Pezzo! It is one of the best places for pizza in the twin cities.They have great flatbread pizzas, but their true specialty is the Chicago-style deep dish pizza (pies). Their pizzas are amazing and we regularly dine in and order take out. They also have a variety of other excellent Italian/American choices on their menu, including some excellent salads. Very good wine and beer selection and, if you like wine, worth noting that they have 1/2 price bottles of wine on Wednesday nights. It is a family friendly restaurant with patio seating in the warmer months. During peak hours, be prepared to wait a bit for a table. Amidst all of the amazing places to eat in White Bear Lake, this ranks up there among the best.
Ryan A
Great atmosphere and some amazing food options. We tried both the deep dish and the cold fired pizzas. The deep dish was nothing short of amazing, but the cold fired was a bit underwhelming. With the cold fired, I think it was just the pizza we ordered (chicken carbonara) and my expectations. It wasn't really like chicken carbonara at all and didn't quite stack up to the deep dish.
Karrie Beauclaire
Always good food. Tried the sandwiches this time; they're large and very tasty. Clean. Love being able to see the kitchen. Great patio. Friendly staff.
Melissa Prenevost
I would definitely recommend visiting this restaurant. They have a parking lot available, however the restaurant itself is kind of hidden between subway and Edina realty, there’s no sign out on 61 to tell you where to turn off. I visited on a Saturday evening and it was a thirty minute wait. The bar and high tops area is free for all, however they wouldn’t let anyone sit on this open 6 top table because everyone waiting was only a party of 2. I was able to get a high top table within 10 minutes of waiting though. My husband and I tried the coal roasted goat cheese appetizer, wings app, a margarita pizza, and the coal roasted turkey sandwich (they’re able to serve turkey on the side if you don’t eat meat). I would highly recommend trying all of these options. Their food comes in fairly large portions so expect to either take home leftovers or to share entrees. The service was friendly and the food was great.
Laura G
The salad was so good. Plenty for 4 people. Take home box needed. Pizza was done perfectly. Fresh ingredients and perfect crust. Not too busy at 6:30 on Thursday. Always busy fridays and Saturdays. Worth the wait.
Mrs. S.H.
Loved the deep dish pizza. Good atmosphere. Its a great place to go if you just want good food, no surprises. Great for a date night. Servers were relaxed. Cooks seemed happy.
Carlo Loffredo (LACOFyremn)
Local pizzeria. Small menu but great food no matter what you get. The Caesar salad is pretty tasty and is worth a try.
Kanak Patel
Great Pizza and service. Fun place to eat!
Justin Clark
Best pizza, sandwiches, and salads within 50 miles. My wife and I have been going to Pezzo since they opened and have never once been disappointed. Honestly I wish every restaurant took as much pride in quality and service as this one.
Patrick Byron
Pretty pricey pizza, and they don't even have toppings like shrimp. Won't be ordering here unless I have a buddy willing to go half and half on it.
Julia Udell
This is where I go when I'm craving a Chicago-style deep dish pizza, and Pezzo gets the job done. I always get a beer (great selection of local beer!), the goat cheese dip, and a deep dish, and go home happy - and with leftovers to last me a few meals. I wish it wasn't so far from where I live, but if that's my only complaint, they're doing a great job.
Paul Schuler
Great pizza great staff. They have to a good selection of food. But I go there for the pizza.
Thomas Owens
Pizza was done perfectly and bursting with flavor. Great beer choices. Service was exceptional.
Erik Spychalski
Decent beer list. Good pizza. Deep dish is similar to the old Ginos in Chicago. Nice thiner crust and crisp. Would choose over Giordanos any day and I live in Chicago. Will go back next time I'm in town.
Lorraine Halfen
Delicious food and friendly service.feel like family here.
Sheen Parker
This pizza house was absolutely great and has a very delicious pizza. Great atmosphere and some amazing food options. We tried both the deep dish and the cold fired pizzas.That was a good customer service.
Al Parranto
Absolutely the best place for pizza in the Twin Cities if your looking for Chicago style deep dish or wood fired. Always friendly service. Comfortable decor. Not my first time here, nowhere near my last.
Don P Gamble III
First time here. Great upscale atmosphere. Uncluttered and refined. Half priced wine is featured on Wednesdays. Ordered the Wrigley chicago style deep dish with homemade whole fennel sausage and pepperoni. This hand pressed pizza would easily feed four. Took about 45 minutes bake time. FABULOUS!!
Susan A
Drove 40 minutes (1 way) for Google's best deep dish pizza pick. Got their 10 minutes late & drove home. Thinking I really hate cold pizza. Open the pizza it was in perfect condition and piping hot. WT heck it was really hot, like it just came out of the oven. I would say it's the best tasting deep dish I've had since buffalo. A+ saus, pep & green olives.
Joe Cosmos
I got a pizza to go. I had the #5, or I called it, lots of meat pizza.This place is brand new to White Bear Lake, MN. I got there at 4pm when they open, and the place was filling up with people. Seems like everyone wants to try this place. Besides the beer prices being high priced, $7.50 for a pint of Peroni, the pizza was good. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. I will go back and try the deep dish pizza next time.
Garrett Reed
Big portions, quality ingredients, good price, fantastic food. Somewhat of a limited menu, but anything on it is worth trying. Great pizza. As for deep dish, green mill takes the cake. But their coal fired pizzas are killer. That with some lemon basil wings. Huf dah. Oh, and the salads are around 10 bucks and could feed a family of five. Enjoy
Richard Altman
Great pizza and service at a fair price.
Even gave us a complimentary pizza when they messed up the first one and without asking for it. Bravo
Kelly B
coal-fired pizza is amazing. Love the #3, #5 and Sicilian Salad. My daughter had one of the Coal Fired Sandwiches and loved it, it was very large and 1/2 went home for later. Not a big fan of the deep dish.
Adam Pickens
Great food and service as always. Not normally one to rave about salads, but they are great here... Which they only take in comparison to their spectacular pizza!!!
Noah Lucas
Amazing pizza and classy modern interior. I have had issues with the staff being short but for the most part I've had good experiences here. It can get very busy in the evenings and on weekends. I would recommend using an app like nowait to reserve your spot in line. They could be recommending a different app to use so I would call ahead and ask.
Lindsay Christensen
I am from Chicago and when I moved here missed having deep dish pizza once in a while. Pezzo's is great! Plus they have many other delicious items on their menu. I just wish they would deliver!
Matt Jennissen
This place, oh this place. The deep dish takes a little while, but is well worth the wait. You can't find authentic, Chicago-style deep dish pizza like this anywhere else in the Twin Cities.
Tatyana Visser
This place offering a good choice of authentic pizza. Salad portions and entries are huge and enough to feed two people. The pizza tastes the same as we ate in Italy, thin crust and real wood oven. Highly recommend!
Mike Golis
Wife and I stopped in on valentines day a little after 5pm. Lucked out and got a spot at the bar right away. Great service, great food, reasonably priced. For sure going back.
Jessica Rousseau
The pizza Cooks in a matter of minutes. We enjoyed the patio. Bathrooms were clean. The best part is that pizza dough is provided to children to play with as they're waiting for the food to arrive.
Katie
AMAZING pizza. Service was great, and our waiter was very nice and checked in regularly. Staff was kind and we were seated quickly. I would for sure recommend this to everyone!
Colin Perucco
What a great restaurant! The service was excellent with good, attentive wait staff and bartender. All our food (appetizer, salad, pizza) was delicious and I would recommend every item. Can't wait to go back!
Linda Harringer
Delicious and consistent never a bad visit. The pizza is incredible
Michael Riordan
Absolutely wonderful dining experience.
We had two appetizers & a pizza.
Food was VERY GOOD & the staff went out of thier way to make sure everything about our visit was perfect.
Can't wait to visit again.
Kristen M
Love love love this place. They have an Italian House salad that is to die for, served family style, and their thin crust pizzas are my favorite. They also have a house roast beef sandwich that is amazing and can feed two people. It's huge.
Brian Dall
Great flavors and everything seemed really really fresh. Do be aware that some items take 45 to 50 minutes to cook. Generous portions. The picture of the lasagna is of half the portion.
Kevin N
Top to bottom a great place to eat in WBL. The deep dish is stellar, but the wood fire pizza is just as good. The goat cheese app is to die for and the salads are a big portion to share and delicious. Nice drink menu as well. Will continue to keep going back again and again.
Trevor Wozniak Balanced Personal Training Inc.
Good service. Long wait for pizza. Good drinks.
Lucas C
Nice place. Ordered a salad and a deep dish and it was easily enough food for 4 people, so it wasn't as expensive as it seemed. Decent beer selection; small but not just the same stuff you see everywhere.
Dale Perszyk
Great food. Best deep dish this side of Chicago. Appetizers are wonderful. Salads are fresh and delicious. Owned by the Kowalski family so access to the best ingredients. Sausage freshly prepared daily.
Dave Scheer
Brought home a deep dish sausage and green pepper. When the staff handed me the box my first impression was, wow this is heavy. Opened and I was amazed, huge and full of sauce, cheese and meat. The sausage was delish, sauce was too. An abundance of cheese all inside a buttery crust. This is the pizza of Chicago legend.
Jenny Kirchner
Both the service and the food were excellent. Salads are big and delicious. Both the deep dish pizza and thin crust pizzas are a must try! We will be going back to try more of the menu, soon!
Isabelle Schwarz
Most delicious pizza’s and salads. There’s a nice family atmosphere and a bar it you don’t have kiddos. Take out is quick and service is great! Love this local pizzeria!
Lori Luther
# of times at this location/year = 5-10
Another excellent pizza place. Hard to eat anything but pizza in White Bear Lake with all these excellent pizza places opening. Pezzo's offers a bit more variety and a sit down style meal as opposed to a Punch Pizza, but in terms of taste you shouldn't be disappointed.
Again, as in Punch Pizza its a bit more pricier, but you'll again taste the difference.
The restaurant has good service and is a nice place (clean - thanks Pezzo's for keeping it clean). to sit down and eat. Parking doesn't seem to be a problem.
I can't tell if the deserts are any good or not, as we have never tried any (too full from the pizza).
Keep it up Pezzo's.
Brady Donahue
The stuffed mushrooms are the best I have ever had. Great deep dish as well. Nice patio. Great service. Good wine and beer selections.
Lisa Hull
Great food - highly recommend the cipollini cheese dip. Salads easily serve three to five people - I recommend the Heart of Sicily or the Ceasar. The pizza is amazing!! I have had the deep dish which serves three. Be prepared for a 45 minute wait, but it is well worth it! The coal fired pizzas are a great choice - I usually use the "build your own" option. but have enjoyed the Tedesca and the Prosciutto.
The service is impeccable and I cannot say that about many restaurants today. Their attention to details - chilled plates and forks for salad is one example. Overall a a great dining experience and affordable!
Aaron Velick
I got take out from the Woodbury location and it was excellent. I had 1 regular pizza and 1 deep dish. It was the best deep dish his side of Lou Malnati’s. I would go back there in a second.
marilyn stranz
Salads fresh and crisp. Nice menu selection. Easily shared and still needed take home container. Server gave sufficient time for ordering and eating. Cloth napkins! The
tiramisu was excellent!
Barbara Laflin
The wood fired pizza is delicious! The service was a bit slow, but friendly. My favorite is the gorgonzola pizza.
Cynthia Lewis
Wonderful pizza. Staff is friendly. Live 20 minutes away, but so worth the drive. Recommend this place to friends. From Chicago, and so far this pizza reminds me of home. 5 Stars
C Cliffe
Great social place. Cozy, always busy, good brew selection. A deep dish and a salad feeds 4. 45 min wait for the deep dish, not a quick meal. But relaxing.
Ryan and Alyssa Rinehart
Woodbury location - Friendly and knowledgeable staff, high quality ingredients and delicious pizza. Cheese dip and deep dish were 10/10. Will be coming back!
Nate Nelly
This is a very classy place, perfect for a hot date! This is a coal fire pizza place. Everything on the menu is perfect! I absolutely love the atmosphere of this place, it's classy but yet modern. The staff is very helpful and polite and will always give you a good recommendation if you're not sure what to get.
Bradley Gossell
We always have a great time here. The pizza is fantastic and the staff are wonderful.
Matthew Vinez
Cool looking place, clean, and friendly/quick servers. Our salad was totally bland, but huge. Pizza was OK, but nothing I'd crave again. This place gets awesome reviews, and we were expecting a lot more.
Parker Epp
Friendly, helpful staff, started with the delicious stuffed mushrooms and artichoke dip. Ended up ordering the Gold Coast deep dish which was amazing. Will be back again to try more.
J T
Attended a groom's dinner here. Pizza, salad, and wings were served and it was all excellent. Service was great.
James Schneider
Definitely our favorite restaurant in White Bear. Salads are great and No. 15, fennel sausage with garlic cream sauce, is one of the best pizzas I've had. Spacious and comfortable with a nice atmosphere.
Joe C
Definitely a good chicago style pizza joint. Everybody should try it at least once. I mean the real deep dish deal. And since they make such a good pizza, I was surprised by how many things people were ordering BESIDES PIZZA. And even more so by how busy the place was. I think the secret is out of the bag. Pezzos is really quite good - but don't tell anybody else !!!
Melanie Pauls
The food was AMAZING and Chloe was great!! We got right in and seated and were greeted by the staff! They were very friendly!
Matthew Lucero
I dont usually share reviews but tonight was a must. arrive about 710. order 2 ices teas and red pepper dip app. few minutes go by order deep dish pizza and our waiter tells us he has been cut and introduces us to new waitress. dip comes and its amazing. so delicious. About 45 minutes go but and our originat waiter comes abd tells us ge forgot to put our pizza in or remind the new waitress about our order. and he would get the deep dish for us for free. and if you wanted he could have a wood fired made asap for us to eat asap. the dip was so great and filling we opted for deep dish to go and a tiramisu right then. another 45 minutes goes by and new waitress brings plates and deep dish. I ingormed her we asked for a tiramisu roght away and the deep dish to go. she takes it back and brings it in a box along with an amazing tiramisu. brings the check next. about $19. we gove here the card and she comes back with the card and reciept a few seconds late. tye ammount charged and the receipt do not match the $19 of the original receipt. now was $37. she then fixes the total and we leave almost 3 hours later. We were patient and nice, they were apologetic and fixed every mistake. some times things go differently then expected. in the eat the food we ate was fantastic and the story we witnessed was hilarious. we will be back.
Craig Martin
Great food! The roasted pepper and artichoke dip was amazing and their deep dish actually had a great crust. Sophie was a great waitress and made the overall experience great.
Sandy Boyd
Absolutely wonderful pizza!!! If you haven't tried the deep dish, you're missing out! The Fennel Italian sausage is delicious!
Luke Fratzke
Nice setting/ambience. A bit upscale but still family friendly. Warm staff and great quality food!! Had the Carne and was fantastic. Definitely going back to do the deep dish!!
Brandon Voigt
Good pizza and a vast selection of toppings, though their signature pizzas are good too. Friendly staff to the point that frequent patrons have their name known. Clean location with plenty of room for large groups.
Robert Davis
I don't believe I loved the pizza as much as I did the pasta, but this place has really good food. The menu is priced correctly and you can even find veal meatballs. Great service also, very friendly.
Amy Lau
We love Pezzo Pizza! It's so fun for the kids and the food is super fresh. We live in Stillwater and it's well worth the drive to White Bear Lake.
Nice work, Pezzo Pizza!!!
Steve Turnbull
Always a good experience. Deep dish and thin crust are both full of flavor. Meatball app is a winner every time. Solid beer selection and consistently good service.
Bill Lowell
We had 12 people, tried 5 pizzas, 4 salads, a few beers and drinks. All very good. Service great, food pretty fast. 2nd time there, we came back, and I'm sure we will again.
Ezra Haskard
Every time I go here I'm stunned. A lovely atmosphere, fantastic staff, amazing salad and deep dish pizza. I drive 40 minutes sometimes to go here with friends or family, and it's worth it.
Amy Horne
Friendly staff, really good food!! Go for either of the hot cheese dips to share and the deep dish pizza!!
Gary Bucher
The best deep dish in the twin cities! Easily compares to the best served in Chicago.
It takes 45 mins for a deep dish - it's not cheap, but consistently delicious.
Kris Ne
Ordered our pizza and watched the orders come up on the shelf... One order was being bypassed for about 10 minutes... Other orders would come up and get picked up immediately but not this one... Turns out it was our order and cheese had cooked off. When we refused it and told why they couldn't understand it... They reheated it...instead of making new one.. We won't go back. Too bad... it was good pizza.
Kirsten Olson
Still one of the best restaurants in WBL. We always get pizza and salad, sometimes starting with wings or meatballs as an appetizer. The restaurant is busy and they don't take reservations unless there is a large group or you do so with an app.
Aaron Bloom
The best pizza I've ever had? Almost. Too bad they don't do Detroit style. This place is great. Big salads, small pies, super yummy.
Dan Wightman
Always awesome food, pizza & sandwich is the bomb!
Dropped favorite beer from tap though.
Kate Libra
Love sitting on the patio. We all had pizzas which were tasty but a little short on fresh mozzarella. Gelato for dessert was smooth and delicious.
Taylor Schake
The employees are always very pleasant and the food is divine! If you like deep dish pizza you will love Pizzeria Pezzo.
Val Rosenbaum
Bring back the calzone, please. My husband was planning on the amazing calzone that a real wow factor! (The meatball hoagies: bigger meatballs or add mozzarella & ladle your sauce over them for a wow factor, and no baby handfulof potato chips needed..should be a cold Italian pasta salad option instead.One should not be able to pick the meatball sandwiches up!) Our Great server!really made the evening and food taste it's best!! (We loved the meatball appetizer as a meal -- highly suggested, but ask for the dressing on the side
Joy Ladd
We decided to try the new place tonight and were very pleasantly surprised! Wonderful greeting, great staff and awesome food! The whole ambiance of the venue is pleasant. Prices are great, like the old saying, "You get what you pay for!" We will be back for sure.
Deedra Diede
Really good pizza and nice atmosphere. Love the family style italian salad and the artichoke dip with our pizza.
Mike Greenwell
Very good quality food and a great family experience. Pro tip - use the no wait app and save your spot in line as this place can be busy. One thing that bums me out is you cannot preorder a deep dish pizza 😣 …
Kayla Backus
Delicious. And our waitress was so much fun! I think that was one of the best parts. She was so kind and knowledgeable. Thank you! We had a blast.
Ramad Jones
Wonderful deep dish pizza. Not a huge fan of the location, but I'd definitely make another trip out to WBL to have their food again. Good customer service, Nice modern decor.
Al Cooley
Pizza and salads are great but expect a wait as deep dish pizzas take 45 minutes to make. If you are hungry I would suggest a salad, thin crust pizza and a deep dish so you get something right away and continue in stages.
Danie Bright
Pezzo has great food and many different options to choose from. This is my favorite spot for Chicago style and their Baked Cipollini Dip is out of this world delicious. They do need to do something about the waiting area in the front though. It's very crowded, loud, and the group of people waiting for a table interferes with the meal of the unfortunate people that have to be seated by the door.
David Hurt
The food was great. It was nice out on the patio. But above all of that the staff was completely phenomenal made me feel like I wasn't at a restaurant I was at someone's home who truly cares about you.
Lisa James
Pezzo has great food and service. they have shifted to drive up very well. We are happy to support them through this rough time, and look forward to being able to dine in hopefully soon
Blair Warner
Their Chicago Style Deep Dish Pizza is better that most you'll find in Chicago! Favorite pizza place. Truly. Waitstaff is incredibly courteous too.
Chris Meirose
Great Chicago style pizza. Crust was solid, sauce was really good, and sausage top notch. Very attentive service. A bit noisy.
Samuel Carlson
Best pizza in White Bear. Great drink options. Pick-up is super convenient. If you're looking for a non pizza option, try the roasted turkey sandwich!
Brian Dobbe
My mom loved it. I did too but won't hype it up as much as she did. It doesn't mean it's bad, because with isn't. It was delicious. It just means my mom really hyped it up. A lot.
Tami Thurmer
From the minute we walked in and Karin greeted us, everything was amazing the service the food.Leigh made us I feel like family. We will definitely be back. We love the sausage and peppers
Chris Fink
Excellent Chicago style and coal fired pizza! If you like pizza you love Pezzo! Get the Wrigley, it's perfect!
JJ Williams
Food was great, service was fast and friendly. Having the dough balls for the kids to play with while waiting for pizza to bake was a huge hit. We will be back.
Steve Stowers
Nice place with good selection of pizza and a full bar. Service was great and the atmosphere is charming. We will go back if in White Bear again.
dustin bohannon
Another fantastic meal from Pezzo. Be sure to try Nonna's meatballs and the #13 with fig and balsamic. A special mention to Matt O. for some great recommendations and taking care of my family.
Maren Harden
Absolutely fabulous! This restaurant is an instant favorite. My friend and I had the best meal, service and visit.
I came home raving about it to my husband and cannot wait to go back!
Colleen Vance
My favorite pizza place in town! Everything is great here, try their salads and chicken wings too. Very nice place to go for date night.
Daniel Peterson
If you like deep dish, this place will make you love it. The best deep dish I've had outside of Chicago, and honestly probably better than most of those places, too!!
Jeff Wick
A gem! Amazing wood fired pizzas and salads to share for a family dining evening that will be enjoyed by all. Upscale dining in a high end casual environment.
Andrew Spencer
Was in the area on a business trip, and saw the reviews. Excellent pizza and a great atmosphere. Service was friendly and helpful with the menu.
Jeff Duscher
3rd time here and every time has been awesome. The meatball pizza is amazing and the Lombardy salad is a great starter to share.
Brooks Hitchcock
Had the Carne coal fired pizza with the lemon basil wings. One of the best meals I've had this year. Great service, too!
E F.
Excellent pizza, the Sicilian salad is the best! Good relaxed atmosphere and still maintains a sophisticated style. Staff always helpful and consistent
Kirk Davis
Awesome salads to choose from. Can't go wrong with any of their pizzas. Worth the wait for deep dish. Use the Open Table app!
Jeremy Tilsen
I have been here a few times, the food is reliably good, the deep dish is quite nice. Definitely an up scale pizza place, not dominos.
Allan Bohlke
Great wood-fired pizzas, great salads, great service in a great setting in White Bear Lake. Highly recommended.
camdizogg
