Carmela Ver

Delicious food every time. The best item is the Korean sweet potatoes- perfect balance of sweet, smokey, and creamy. Any of the pizzas are delicious. Caution with the eggplant pizza, it is quite greasy, but the flavor combination is enjoyable. The whole fish is a new item in the past month. It is amazing and the dipping sauce added great heat. They could make the fish better by adding rice or bread to eat it with I'd skip the cocktails, especially the Sling unless you like your drinks overtly sour. Servers are always kind and helpful. Expect to wait 45 min to 1 hour if you don't have a reservation. Overall, one of our favorites that we return to every few weeks.

The atmosphere is amazing - hip, chic, upscale. The drinks were excellent but the price reflects they should be. The dining experience was okay. We only had pizza, which was very good but I’m missing the hype. The ingredients were on par with other locations that charge a fraction for their pizza. The service was very good, but either way you are paying 21% for them because it is added to your bill without discretion. For me - not worth the hype.

Matthew Glas

Everything was fantastic. It was an excellent place for a business dinner. The space is nice and open, and we were able to hold conversations well without having to shout, which is important for a business dinner. The food was wonderful and everyone raved about it. We had gotten the whole fish to share as post-app, pre-meal meal. I was a little skeptical -- a fish from a place specializing in pizza?! But oh my god it was fantastic! Perfectly cooked, and a delicious sauce for over top of it. And a beautiful presentation as well. Stunning! The pizzas were great as well, but that fish really was the highlight for me. Add the top-notch service on top of everything else, and I can now see why it is difficult to get reservations! Thanks for the great evening!

Jaimee Leibfried

The wait staff is amazing! We chose to sit at the community table and it was a great experience. You sit by other who are there to dine for the night and we actually got a lot of good ideas of what to eat by looking around. My sister's pizza came out a little burnt but mine was perfect. We would definitely go back again :)

Paul-Elie Nauleau

This place was really amazing! To start off the drinks were great! Not too sweet, couldn’t taste the alcohol (but could feel it later), and really yummy! The food was delicious! We shared pizzas and the pork belly and sausage and sweet potatoes and mushrooms and every single dish we got we really enjoyed! We also really enjoyed how they would bring us fresh plates between our dishes and each plate was always new! Beautiful! The staff was also very friendly and nice! Worth the price!

De Mpls

We were able to snag a last minute table one night and had a magnificent time. The food and service were both impeccable. Ann Kim and her staff have created a delectable dining experience in a comfortable, romantic setting. The carefully crafted cocktails are quite balanced. The pork belly starter is one of the most unctuous applications of pork belly I've had. This is a place to step out of your usual pizza box and try something new. There are so many unique combinations to taste. You can get a plain pizza somewhere else. No matter what pizza you choose, your tastebuds will be in for a treat.

Eddie Mend

Great spot for a night out near downtown. The bartenders are very creative and can whip up any flavors your might be craving. Their menu drinks are just as good and worth the try. The pizzas are probably the best in town. They’re big enough to share for two, but why not try two. It’s gets very busy very quickly. I recommend reservations or trying backbar, which is first come first serve. It’s a little bit pricey, which is why I gave it the 4 stars, but I thinks it’s great for a date night.

Gwen Abbott

AMAZING!!!!! If you’re going for just a pizza, don’t bother. The pizza’s here are creative and beyond delicious. Never would have thought up many of the creations that come out of the kitchen. Do yourself a favor and order the pickle pizza, you won’t be disappointed! Everything from the staff down to the plates are wonderful!

Alex Nelson

Great pizza, take out service left something to be desired for the price. I ordered two pizzas for take out (Korean BBQ and Sausage & Onion). both were delicious. the only problem was that when we picked them up they were cold. We asked for them to be ready at 6:30 but didn't receive a message that they were ready to be picked up. We picked them up at about 6:45 and the pizzas were already cold. We heated them up in the oven and they tasted great. They also charge an 18% fee to support employee wages/benefits even if it is just take out, so if you want hot pizza you may want to just eat in. Again the food was great, but I was disappointed that when paying almost $50 for two pizzas that they weren't even hot, unless they were supposed to be served cold...

I had some higher expectations for Young Joni after seeing the reviews and getting recommended to come here. The space definitely stands out as a design that I can admire. They had the exposed wood ceilings, dimmer lighting, and open kitchen concept. The seating arrangements were quite interesting too. There looked to be a variety of different seating from high tops, to large tables, and more comfortable two person seating. Unfortunately, I didn't get to spend much time in here. I typically don't order take out since I want the food to be as fresh as possible, but reservation only isn't really my thing either since I tend to be more spontaneous when eating out. I had been to Pizzeria Lola which is owned by the same people and I wasn't sure if the pizza would be similar or not. I could see some similarities after eating it but Pizzeria Lola was better than this. I ordered the Old Reliable. It was a good looking pie but everything else was pretty lackluster. The sauce was really tangy and the pizza reminded me more of a neapolitan. I came right on time to pick up my pizza, but it was already pretty cold after eating the first slice shortly after getting it. It was also soft, doughy, and the cheese was firming up. I didn't hate it but it definitely wouldn't be something that I would ever came back again for. Definitely on the pricier side as well coming in at 20$.

Jenae Carlson

The pizzas were absolutely incredible. The crust was perfect and had tons of toppings. The Parisienne was the favorite, but the mushroom pizza was great too— very rich. We were sat at the bar with no reservations on a Saturday night and it was fun to watch the cocktails being made. Highly recommend the spritz cocktail. The decorations and setup has a cool industrial feel. The free photo booth at the end was a fun way to end it.

Eli Hughes

This place was so insanely good. One of the best meals I've had in 2022. We did a walk in early on a Friday for dinner and were seated immediately. The ambience is good, service is good, and food is outstanding! Here is a breakdown of what we ordered: La Parisienne Pizza: 5/5 Cauliflower: 5/5 PEI mussels: 4/5 (still good but paled compared to everything else) If you have time and the speakeasy in the back is open, that is totally worth a visit too!

Emily Lu

Given such high rating and good reviews, I was disappointed when I visit them on Saturday night. First of all the bar was closed due to event so I didn't get to order from the "happy hour menu". We had two appetizers tasted good but the Korean rib pizza was a big disappointment. You can hardly see the meat! Few slices of the meat was cover under the lettuce, and the flavor wasn't right either, if you had Korean BBQ you know it should be more sweet and salty (kind of like teriyaki sauce). I know they are famous for their fresh baked pizza but maybe I just made a wrong choice. But the price I paid I would expect a little bit more than "Punch pizza" quality.

Urvashi Desai

Loved the speakeasy! Wonderful drinks. The pizzas definitely had interesting combinations with distinct flavor. I have never had pizzas with these combination before. However it was not worth the hype and the price. Would definitely visit the speakeasy again. Loved their vibe!

Roger Nicholas

Oh my! We enjoyed a delicious evening of unique pizzas🍕. Pickle pizza was VERY good. Fun atmosphere and attentive service made everything come together nicely. Go to the photo booth for the fun of it! Be patient and you will enjoy the experience. Cheers🍷 …

Vicki

This place was hyped up to me so much. Whenever I was in town I always wanted to go, but my friend wasn't sold on a pizza place. He gets it now. The pizza is delicious. The best in the twin cities by far. The drinks were also great and unique. The staff was nice and the atmosphere was lively. I'd come back here for sure and recommend it to others.

Tony Peltier

Fantastic atmosphere! We sat at the back elevated area as a walk-in as they do not take same-day reservations for table seating. After "Dan The Man" suggested a few options, we ordered the Korean BBQ and the Perfect Pickle Pie. Both were amazing, and the 6 pieces per pizza was perfect for sharing. We washed our slices down with a Ginger Beer and Root Beer. We'll be back with friends!

Ricardo Ramirez

This a fantastic date night spot. We showed up 5 minutes before opening time at their speakeasy. We were let in a couple of minutes after the posted opening time. Beautiful ambiance, love the glasses they use to serve drinks in, and the decor in general. The staff were fun, and easy to talk to. They even exchanged a drink for us, when it was decided it was not liked! The Korean pizza is a must here.

Benjamin Schuster

So many great dishes! Get the Burrata & Peas, Korean Sweet Potatoes, Whole Fish, Thai Sausage, Korean Beef Short Ribs, any of the Pizzas, Soft Serve Ice Cream with Sea Salt, and be sure to grab one of their amazing cocktails in the back bar.

Sheta Lee

Came to celebrate our 3 year anniversary. Great atmosphere, food, and yummy old fashioned. Favorite on the menu: cauliflower and mushroom pizza. Would definitely be back for the umami mama pizza and to try other things on the menu.

Chad D

One of the best pizzas I've ever had. I had the Korean BBQ pizza and the cauliflower appetizer. Both were amazing. The pizza crust was crisp while still being soft, the Korean BBQ rivaled what I had in South Korea. The cauliflower had a little kick and a great vlend of sweet, savory, and sour. This is going to be one of my regular stops when I'm in MSP.

Rachel

We absolutely loved the Umami Mama and La Parisienne pizzas, as well as the house cocktails especially the Julep. Food came out surprisingly quickly and service was top notch! All the food options we saw go by looked fantastic and we look forward to returning next time we are in Minneapolis. We also appreciated the built in tipping system and the respect for the staff! Kudos to the crew!

Pahchie Vang

It was a great experience and the server was exceptionally personable! The food was delicious.You MUST try the cauliflower! The korean bbq pizza was such a delight - something light on something heavy really helps balance the regret of eating an entire pizza. Dessert was simple - ice cream in a mini cone (comes in three flavors) 😅 My 6yo ate half a pizza and an ice cream cone. That’s when you know.

Katie Bergh

Absolutely loved this place. It was very busy but the staff worked hard to find us a spot right away. We had a pizza that had ricotta, arugula, prosciutto and pickled mustard seeds, and it was one of the best pizzas I’ve had. The combination of these ingredients balance each other perfectly. The atmosphere was cozy and the drinks were spot on. We will definitely return.

Pafoua And After

Definitely going here again. I made a reservation for my friend and I and I would recommend it because it looked busy when I got there. Lovedddd the butter under the sweet potatoes. So addicting. The Thai sausage was ugh 😚👌🏼so good. I’d definitely do two orders of that. Haha. Forgot to take a photo of the kbbq pizza. It was good but I feel like it could’ve used something more to pull it all together. Overall my friend and I really enjoyed the atmosphere, plates (they’re so cute and quirky!), the menu and the servers we had.

Ben

Whine all you want about the automatic 20% gratuity ...you're here for the wrong reasons. If you want an upscale experience, tasty food, drinks, but a laid back atmosphere this is the joint. Our server's recommendations were on point too.

Gary Kelner

Fantastic cocktails, pizza, and appetizers. The atmosphere and service were phenomenal and our server Sean was very helpful. We had the sausage and onion pizza along with the YOLO the cauliflower, and julep cocktails. I would gladly return.

Christopher Bailey

It took a while for the servers to get to us, it's usually busy around dinner time i presume. The Sweet and Spicy Rib entrée was delicious and the Tavern Pie was good but I prefer it without any honey, but that is just me. Positive experience overall, and the photo booth was fun!

Steve Moroniak

It's no wonder at all why this is a James Beard award-winning restaurant. Well done to everyone. Very well done. I've rarely ever seen such attention to detail and customer service, on EVERY LEVEL. My hat's off to you all.

David Deckert

Our second visit to celebrate our oldest’s 29th birthday. We felt fortunate to get last minute reservations given the known popularity of this restaurant. The evening celebration didn’t disappoint as we enjoyed pizzas, salad, and drinks. The wait staff was very attentive and we enjoyed several interactions and discussions with him. We would certainly recommend and return in the future.

Susan Ramlet

Excellent service, wonderful, creative menu of pizzas, salads and other offerings. We love the space, had a great time as always. Homemade mandarin orange soft-serve and blueberry-peach crisp were the desserts we enjoyed this evening.

Angela Pearson

I can't believe I've never written a review for Young Joni before! Not even sure where to start, we have tried so many things over the years. First, get there early if you don't have a reservation, the bar and side communal table are first come first served. One thing I can tell you is that the Bibim Grain salad will now always be something we order as it was mind blowing on this most recent visit. My SIL says it's her absolute favorite thing to eat in the state. We also ordered the hamachi crudo and would eat 15 plates of that as my meal if they'd let me. It's hard to pick a favorite pizza, they are all great and unique for their own reasons... Try one that feels like a good fit for you and you won't be disappointed. The service at the bar is above and beyond. They're so attentive, so kind and lovely to chat with. Mast will make you a cocktail based on what you like, so don't feel forced to order off the menu of drinks! We absolutely love Young Joni! Back bar is great too, just really dark inside for taking pics! I believe the have drinks and a limited food offering.

Justin Newell

Having a beer next door and noticed a line outside of the rusty door...definitely had to take a look. The space is super rad. Dark. Wood paneling. Old School wallpaper. Great selection of beers, liquors, and craft drinks. Didn't try the food however friends did and said it was excellent.. Would recommend for sure.

MOE Saadi

Great local place with lots of beers , local and imported. The vibe is amazing, with charming touches. We went there on a Monday evening, we had: Drinks: Milk punch (coffee , early gray , gin , … and more), it was amazing, it is creamy and soft. Love it . Food: We had the Bibim Grain salad, tasty :) We had the Korean BBQ short ribs, amazing :)

Sherri T

The Korean sweet potatoes were amazing. I’ve been craving them every day since we had the. The Perfect Pickle Pie was also good! Will definitely be back.

John Galetka

Excellent pizza! I have to say it was the best ever. Honestly, the crust, the sauce and the toppings were all in beautiful cohesion.

Rebecca Collins

Amazing atmosphere, amazing staff our waiter was fantastic! Pork belly, cauliflower and cabbage were simply perfect. The unami mama and korean bbq pizzas were delicious. We all left so stuffed and happy!

Ceecee Vang

Customer service was amazing. Place does get full quick so please keep that in mind that there may be a wait. Korean bbq pizza was amazing.

Brandy Churchill

Fun vibe and delicious food just like all of Ann Kim's restaurants. That pickle pie at Joni is really just surprisingly yummy and comforting. My dining partners enjoyed the Korean BBQ pizza. We had a sweet potato app as well that we may have liked even better than the pizzas; layers of sweet and spicy and creamy. Two of us enjoyed the soft serve with olive oil and salt; it doesn't really taste like those three things, it tastes like something totally new, creamy and homey and not overly sweet. The third found it strange, though, but I think they tend to prefer more "classic" flavor profiles. The staff are friendly and helpful. After having both, I prefer Lola to Joni, but I think that's mostly because Lola is just a tad more casual.

Ishmam Ahmed

Awesome food, atmosphere, and staff here. We ordered a pizza, wings, and the cauliflower, which were ready on time and neatly packaged. I highly recommend the Basque pizza, pictured below, which features chorizo, goat cheese, peppers, onions, olives, and lemon. Unique and delicious, which describes their entire menu. The wings and cauliflower were also very delicious and well prepared. Can’t wait to dine in once circumstances allow. Update: dined in and it’s even better in person! Exceptionally crafted dishes and cocktails too. A bit on the pricey side, but well worth it for the overall dining experience. Definitely the place to bring your friends from out of town.

Laura Nelson

Every plate was well prepared, very flavorful,our server was well informed on all the dishes we ordered,and made suggestions on order of serving and knew the ingredients, and suggested how to enhance our experience.

Angela Tran

The best pizza. Get the Tavern Pie. The combination of sweet and spicy is perfection. Updated review: must get the Korean sweet potatoes, hamachi crudo and Korean short ribs !!!

Karly H (Exploring the lakes!)

Best pizza in town by far. The back bar is super cool and the atmosphere is out of this world!!!! Definitely a place to check out but make sure to have a reservation or having the time to wait.

Ritisha Sarma

Very lively atmosphere on a Friday evening. We walked in without a reservation (wait time 45 mins to an hour) and it was worth it! The whole fish and the sweet potatoes were to die for! The Parisienne pizza was okay (we got it home par-baked), probably would taste better at the restaurant. Cocktails were amazing. The photo booth was super fun and the pictures are memorable and such a thoughtful yet clever marketing idea! We also loved the fact that despite being hip, upscale and everything cool, they were welcoming towards our toddler (had a high chair and box of toys, unlike their other restaurant Sooki and Mimi). Would recommend!

Hayden Shieh

Awesome pizza place with a Korean fusion! Excellent beer selection, cocktails, and whiskey but someone please tell the bartender to order grandmarnier for Cadillac margaritas!

Micah Beverley

Love the ambiance here. Super cozy winter spot. Downside - I don’t think they have TV’s for Vikings games. They add 20% gratuity automatically !

Brooke Fisher

Not only is the atmosphere beautiful and welcoming, but the food is truly an experience. Two dining at our table had the Perfect Pickle and said it was the best pizza they’d ever eaten. I had the La Parisienne pizza as gluten free and found it to be heavenly. Topped off with dessert, it was a very special place where there was something foodie and delicious for us all. Plus, it was a magical time to channel our inner Ann Kim, which I appreciate so much.

Angela Asleson

The way they combine ingredients to create cohesive flavors in their dishes is just amazing. I ate pizzas with toppings I don't usually enjoy, and ended up absolutely loving them. I also had one of the most delicious cocktails I've ever had and the presentation of everything was super appealing.

رهام عثمان

The atmosphere was great! It was very busy and packed, but the atmosphere is pretty and it's cozy. The drinks from the bar were excellent and the food was as well. We had the cauliflower as an app and between the 5 of us we all loved it. We then ordered 3 pizzas to share. The Korean BBQ was our favorite followed by the Broccolini then the sausage and onion. Make sure you make reservations a head of time.

Natanya Schnyer

Stopped here spontaneously. The servers were so sweet and really paced our drinks and dishes well. We ordered the confit mushrooms, charred cabbage, and La Parisienne pizza (gluten free). the GF crust was great and didn’t compromise any flavor or texture. the confit mushrooms were AMAZING. probably once of the best and most beautiful things i’ve ever eaten. the cabbage was also great, and very creative. really loved it here and will probably come again.

Amanda Lane

Great options for pizza with unique toppings. Good service. The umami mamma was my favorite. The red wine was a bit more chilled than needed.

Natalie J

I went with a couple of girlfriends on a Sunday evening. We made the reservation about a month out, if you want a specific date/time to dine make sure you make a reservation early. The restaurant was beautiful, staff were incredibly attentive and helpful. Great atmosphere! The pizzas were delicious, we tried the La Parisienne and Basque. There were 3 people and we got two pizzas and the short ribs, we had a little bit left over but it was a great portion for 3. We tried the gluten free crusts and they were the best gluten free pizza I've ever had. I'd highly recommend! The cocktails left something to be desired, we tried a few and they were good and highly quality but it would have been just as good without them. I will absolutely be coming back and recommending to friends and family.

Kevin M

Pizza was excellent, drinks were great, and service was friendly...everything you want for a good dinner. Indoor, outdoor and bar seating in a pretty big space. Lots of creative pizzas, favorites were Umami Mama and Basque. Would definitely come back again.

Heather K

Here are a few of my favorite things: the julep cocktail, crudo, Thai sausage, atmosphere, knowledgeable and friendly staff. This place is a must stop. Can't wait to come back and try the whole fish. Don't forget your photo booth ticket!

Mitchell Kemppainen

The food was really great. We walked in and got on the wait list for a reservation. Online it suggested the average wait for a party of 4 is about 2hrs, so we got there early. When they said 1hr & 45min wait, we expected it. We left for some shopping and came back early. Our table was ready in just an hour, which was perfect timing. We were seated by the door so it was a little chilly. We were served super fast. We started with the Cauliflower, then a Margherita pizza, and the Short Ribs. Everything came out within 10-20 minutes, and tasted phenomenal. Since it was my husband's birthday we ordered the seasonal crisp with ice cream. So good. 10/10

Damon Schopen

We had a great dinner at Young Joni last night. The restaurant is a beautiful comfortable location. Our server was very attentive and helpful. We had the wings as an appetizer. They were some of the best wings I have ever had. They had a great gilled flavor and were very tender. I had the Korean BBQ Pizza. Typically I like traditional pizzas but it has become one of my favorites. The beef short ribs were delicious on the pizza. I can't wait to go back.

eric bosire

Atmosphere was incredible, Pizza was top tier some of the best I've ever had. Be sure to take a picture in the booth on your out.

Jamie Cook

We stumbled in on accident and are so glad we did. Super delicious food options and it's all meant to share so you don't have to decide on just one thing. The service is super personable and the establishment makes sure their employees are taken care of with an included service charge. I also really enjoyed the atmosphere and nostalgic photo booth in the back.

Rachael Dingle

First time here, came with another couple. We had the cauliflower appetizer which was amazing. We also shared the Korean BBQ, Umami, Pickle and Parisian pizzas. The crust was the best I've had in a very long time. Definitely don't skip on the olive oil and salt soft serve!! Will be back!

Anjola Dee

We've had a gift card to use at Young Joni for over 2 years now and we finally put it to use! There's a lot of hype about this place, so I went in with pretty high expectations and I'm happy to say that it lives up to the hype! We had the pepperoni and jalepenos pizza drizzled with honey and OMG was it amazing. I'd never think to put a combination like that together, but it works. We also shared the celery, endive and apple salad which was equally delicious. Save room for dessert, because they have some great options. We went with the church basement cookie platter, and ate every.single.one. I wish we would have bought another pizza to bring home!

Nicole Bissey

DELICIOUS. Everything is delicious. I absolutely love the building and the vibes. Would eat here again anytime. Service was also lovely and prompt.

Chad Warner

I found Young Joni on a list of top pizza places in the country. The pizza was fantastic and worth being on the list. My pizza had pepperoni, jalapeños, and honey. The couple sitting across from me also swapped a slice of Korean BBQ. It was delicious with very tender meat.

Caitlin Sime

The food and ambiance are amazing. I've always had good service as well. The real disappointment is their new business model- charging a 21% service fee that doesn't go directly to the staff. With the high prices here, this place is making so much money in "service fees" and then paying their staff a "livable wage," but really it's just a shady way for owners to steal tips from their staff. To me, that's just wage theft. I won't be back.

Sunu Sohn

This restaurant was the MOST pleasant surprise I have had since my move to Minnesota. My parents and younger brother are visiting me in Minnesota this week and today was the last day they were staying, when we went to go out for dinner we decided to try out a place that my boss from work had recommended and it was the most perfect ending piece for my family's road trip journey here to Minnesota. THE CULTURAL IMPACT: Ann Kim is the daughter of a Korean immigrant and has achieved a James Beard award. I am the son of a Korean immigrant as well which made this restaurant feel so special to me. Right away as we walked inside and saw the dishes laid out in front of us my mother pointed out that they were dishes that her mother had when they had moved into the Americas before I was even born. Already you could tell the similarity in lifestyles that Ann Kim and my mother might have had growing up. For immigrants like my parents this had a lasting warming impression on them and was everything for a perfect finish to their visit here in Minnesota. I was so happy to have the experience I had here because of this. Thank You. THE PIZZA: The pizza was fantastic, we had gotten the tavern pie and the umami mami. The tavern pie was a unique pizza dish that is masked with a plain common looking appearance. At first you might think it's just a pepperoni pizza with some jalapenos, but what did it for me was that there was honey drizzled along the top of it. You may have heard of honey on pizza but the kicker is the jalapeno. Spicy and sweet are clashing flavors, so this eccentric flavor combination actually distinguishes the two flavors extremely well in your mouth and gives you an intense impact from both sides. If this is your first time going here, I would give this a go. The Umami Mami was also a fantastic dish, if you don't really know what umami tastes like then this will let you understand. The first bite is always the most impressionable, when I bit into it I was just expecting a regular mushroomy like flavor but boy was I wrong. Its savoriness was competitive and strong in a pleasant way. Its hard to explain but something you just have to try for yourself. THE DESSERT: The softserve ice cream with sea salt and olive oil is something you see on the menu and think "how odd, lets try it." And sure enough it is going to be a high risk that feels like you got the high reward. Whenever I use olive oil to cook, put on my salad, or dip my bread in I can taste it but its flavor is very little to mild and you can't really tell what the flavor is. But when you try it with vanilla ice cream the flavor of the olive oil is brought out like no other. A metaphor I would put with it is like salt, you can pick up a grain of salt and it is physically small, but the taste is an explosion. The sweetness of the icecream brings out the taste of the olive oil like you have never tasted it before. It really felt like I was tasting olive oil for the first time. You can't go wrong. Get it. THEY CARE: The impression I had with my server was that of the best. Not only were they informative on the history and story of the restaurant, they were kind and caring. They would let us know if something might take a little bit of time to come out but went all the way to make sure that we had gotten what we needed in a certain amount of time. Not only that there is a menu item called "photo booth" that you could get and it lets you take a photo in the photo booth in the back then hang it up on the wall. THE BATHROOM: I know that this might sound odd but to accentuate my comment above about how they care, THEY REALLY DO. That light in my gallery there shows a beautiful large light bulb, and that was in the bathroom along with an amazing brass piping design that wrapped around the bathroom. The iridescent lighting shows that of a soft and gentle appearance that can do wonders for a wonderful photo. I recommend this place 100%

Trey Farrow

Went here with some friends and decided to order all 11 pizzas and try them all. Service was incredible, and the staff was very friendly and helpful when we asked about ingredients. It was a nice vibe and enjoyed every drink and pizza I came into contact with. We had to reserve about a month in advance but we'll worth the wait. I do believe they do walk ins as well. The La Parisienne Pizza was my favorite pizza! Well done.

Casey

It’s a busy spot and expensive drinks but the pizzas were sooo good! A lot of unique options, cool atmosphere inside and the back bar speak easy is cool to check out too. When the wait is long, we’ve usually been able to find a spot at the bar area but if more than 2 people that might be harder!

Kristin L

Been meaning to come here for years since my coworkers said it was the best restaurant in the cities. Let me tell you the hype is real. I’ll be thinking about these pizzas until we can make the trip to come back. Reservations are booked out for a month but we were able to get in at the bar with an okay wait time.

Peter Millunzi

We are at Joni's back bar. The coolest speak-easy in Minneapolis. Quiet, dark, subdued. Perfect for just relaxing and talking in private. Super attentive staff, incredible drinks, and you can even get their famous pizza.

Sanjay Frank

Love the vibe! Love the food! Love the drinks! Hung out in Minneapolis last weekend and Saturday night started out here. The Tavern pizza and 3 lemon drop martini(s) is what the doctor ordered. Everything was spectacular.

Diana White

I’ve been to the bar back a couple times. I like it, I was actually hoping to get into the main restaurant today, but it was closed for a private event. I was glad the back bar still offered most of not all of the pizzas on the menu. I had the pickle pizza today and it was very good. I had an NA cocktail that wasn’t really my favorite.

Melissa Danielson

In my opinion, this is one of the best places to eat in the Twin Cities. Food is incredible. The ambiance is romantic and modern. Staff are very friendly. Great date location! Heads up it's usually busy because the word is out, recommend getting a reservation.

Nader Tavaf

The taste of pizza is unique here. It's certainly worth trying. La Parisienne and Korean BBQ were great options.

Casey Summers

James Beard winner. Pricy but amazing food and ambience. If you're willing to spend some money and time, definitely go here and get a combination of cocktails, platters and pizzas. If you don't have reservations, you'll have to wait a couple of hours to get a seat. No problem though. Take your buzzer to Dangerous Man next door and enjoy some of the best beer in Minneapolis while you wait.

Mitch Diehl

Took my fiancé here for her birthday! Our server was very kind, attentive and was very helpful walking us through our first time having muscles. The Thai sausage lettuce wraps and sweet potatoes are to DIE for! It’s a little pricey but the flavors and food quality are out of this world. Plus - photo booth

James

The food was good, but did expect more, especially with the service. Waited a good 8-10 minutes before we were greeted. Because the tip is added to the bill it felt like the server had no incentive to provide a higher level of care. Might skip the long wait for a reservation and just go to Pizzaria Lola.

Brian Kirst

Great cocktails and pizza. We had the umami mama mushroom pizza and it was very unique and delicious.

Wes Reed

The pizza and atmosphere were great! Staff were friendly and helpful. Not a fan of the automatic gratuity but that being said I will return.

Absolutely amazing. I loved the Charred Savoy Cabbage and my partner said the confit mushrooms was one of the best things he's ever eaten. Service was great, our server was really helpful and did a great job of describing the menu to us.

John Fogliano

We had a great food experience here. The atmosphere was fantastic. We went for an anniversary. The pizza and the sides we had tasted great. We also tried out the speakeasy in the back before dinner.

Megan Schiltz

This place is certainly unique! Me and my fiancé ordered the cauliflower and cabbage, they were excellent. Highly recommend! The Korean bbq pizza was good and definitely unique but the sea bass didn’t taste like sea bass it tasted like Mediterranean Branzino. Which would explain the price on the fish. But it was still very good. All in all what made this place spectacular is the awesome staff, especially the bartender Owen who took great care of us. We really enjoyed our time at this unique restaurant.

Andrew Fish

Arguably the best culinary experience I’ve had in awhile. The combination of ingredients and flavors is absolutely amazing. Perfectly balanced. Go bold and enjoy perfection. Thank you!

Yogi

Another great location with amazing pizza, this is a MPLS staple. The vintage back bar, is where it's at. You feel underground with the decor and lighting. The ambience is very chill, with a tape reel, playing vibrational classics. Well done🔥🔥🔥👋🏾👏🏾

kyle burgess

Alika was a fantastic server; being able to navigate a high energy group is difficult and he did it with ease! And the drinks and food were fantastic. Thank you!!!!

Michael Shields

What an awesome experience with food and service. We went with 2 very dear friends, our 2nd visit and their 1st experience. The pizzas were top notch and the heirloom tomatoes were the best all 4 of us ever had. Put this on your bucket list as you deserve the experience.

Corey Travel

So lucky to have chef/owner Ann Kim and all her amazing restaurants in Mpls. 🙌🏻 Fourth time eating here and always a tasty and creative dishes. Hamachi Crudo for the win! …

Thomas Toy

We are from California and were visiting family. Very nice casual atmosphere and attentive and friendly personnel. We ordered several of their pizzas including the Umami, Korean, Margherita and Pepperoni/Jalapeno/Honey varieties. All were very good, but our favorite was the Umami pizza. We also ordered the whole fish, that was so good and the sauce it came with was bomb. Drink selection was also very good. I had the milk and honey cider which was very cold and refreshing. We will definitely go back there when we return to Minnesota next year.

Pi Pi

Everything is delicious, I’m personally a huge fan of the church cookie plate. KBBQ pizza is a hit always. Takeout for pizza only though at the end of the night you can sit down briefly and grab dessert. The back bar sometimes has a shorter wait time but still 45min + on Weekend nights. You can get pizza there too! New menu can be a little hard to read but the staff is super helpful.

Joshua Stromgren

Korean Sweet potato appetizer was amazing but the pizza wasn’t anything to write home about. Service was a little inconsistent and they never gave us our leftovers when they said they would box them up. Solid food but having to book a reservation 4+ weeks out probably overhyped it for us.

D. Carlyle Briggs

If you watch the Netflix spotlight of this place, you still don't get a true understanding. Young Joni is a great example of the layers of world culture that exist in this city and you only have to discover it. The menu is a unique journey through Korean and other regional flavors via familiar mediums we easily recognize in the west. My fiance, who is a born Minnesotan, had never tasted some of the dishes we had and she expanded her pallette in one visit. The small plate set up is like an Asian tapas but the Italian fusion of pizza is unheard of, bold, and definitely brilliant. The flavors dance in your mouth so well that you almost want to not swallow because you know that's the end of that bite. At the end of the night, you can show your appreciation by capturing your joy in the photo booth. It gives you the chance to add your own spirit to their decor. Thanks Young Joni. 🙂

Ronnie Johnson

I saw the Netflix special Chef Table: Pizza and this restaurant was on there, so I decided to give it a try. I was blown away with not only the pizza but the TOP TIER customer service. My friends and I really enjoyed the incredible atmosphere that featured vibrant music, dim lights, amazing interior design, and laughter - along with the very unique but tasty drinks. We decided since the reservation was made well in advance that we should try ALL 11 pizzas. I cannot stress this enough when I say the food is 1 of 1. Every pizza expressed a different story and truly brought the experience to life. I cannot thank the staff enough for their knowledge and service. All the pizzas were amazing and I highly recommend this restaurant. My top favorites (In Order): La Parisienne, Basque, and Margherita.

Brittney Mikell

Best pizza in the Cities hands down. Upscale, great drinks, expect to spend a bit. Incredible vibes so it’s a great option for dates and friend gatherings alike. PACKED on Valentine’s Day!

Eric Buck

Came here with coworkers on a Monday night wondering just how good a pizza place could be. The restaurant was busy but we got on the waitlist and got in. The mojo wings were the best chicken wings I've ever had, and each pizza was unique and enjoyable. In particular, the spicy lamb sausage pizza was incredible. If you can get a table, eat here!

Joseph Dummann

Young Joni is an experience and one of the best restaurants in the Twin Cities. The cauliflower dish is one of my favorite dishes I've gotten anywhere. All the flavors of every dish I've had has been super balanced and the vibe of the restaurant in addition to the service was all great!

Bambi Cheta

I had to place a reservation for an odd time since they were booked months in advance. The server was very attentive and the food was delicious, but the prices are extreme. We had the whole branzino, mussels, kimchi trio, and several pizzas. The Korean BBQ was my favorite, the Basque was good, and La Parisienne tasted mostly of mustard, but was good in its own way. The curry sauce on the mussels was well worth dipping your pizza crust in. We also had the soft serve with olive oil and sea salt, which was my new favorite way to eat vanilla ice cream and was big enough to share. The drinks were pretty creative. I had the Ricky which mostly tasted of seltzer. The Old Fashioned was good. I couldn't afford to return but it was a fun experience trying a James Beard Award Winning chef.

Abdur Rakib

We did not have a reservation and when trying to get a booking online, there was no table left. However its not everyday we go to Minneapolis so we decided to try our luck anyway. We were told there would be an hour’s wait but we were willing to wait! It was a hot summer’s day and we weren’t budging! The ambiance looked amazing and the place was packed. But within about 15 mins or so, we were offered seating at the bar and we just went with it. We are so very glad we did.

Wonderful place. The food is fantastic (way delicious signature pizzas), the staff are friendly and the atmosphere is delightful! 5 1/2 Stars! :-D P.S. the Pork Spare Ribs are amazing!

LuAnne Carlson

Great drinks and pizza! We had Monday night reservations. We were seated immediately. For a Monday, the restaurant was quite full. Our server was excellent! She was attentive and had a great sense of humor. The pizzas we tried (in pic, starting top left, going clockwise), were Korean BBQ, YOLO (my fav), La Parisienne, and Sausage and Onions (my 2nd fav). Dessert is soft serve with sea salt and olive oil. It was different, but it worked! Will definitely return!

Devon Carlson

Amazing place with a great vibe. Well worth the effort of getting a reservation! Whole fish was delicious. Make sure to get some soft serve for dessert. Only complaint is it not great for dietary restrictions.

Melissa Fischer

Ok, WOW. We got a reservation the day before for a Saturday night. When we showed up, we were seated immediately. The Confit Mushroom dish was one of my most favorite things I’ve ever eaten. Service was perfectly timed, every time we finished a dish, the next one arrived. Emma was our waitress and she was sweet, attentive and helpful! We got 2 vegetable plates (Korean Sweet Potatoes + Confit Mushroom), one pizza (the Broccolini), one dessert (Soft Serve) and two Old Fashions and our total came to just under $130. I don’t have a negative thing to say about our experience. It was perfection from start to finish.

Danielle Hau

Our FAVORITE pizza in the twin cities! We were on the hunt for outstanding pizza and after trying several places this was the absolute best. Hard to beat the Margherita but the Tavern Pie with jalapeño and honey was equally as good with the perfect combo of sweetness and heat.

Noah Raisanen

It doesn't get much better than this. Incredible pizza, unique drink menu, quick service and awesome atmosphere.

Dolan Lee

Artistic food in a beautiful space. Would highly recommend!

Yasmine AbouAish

Nice open space and ambiance. Tried to the cauliflower (really tasty) and Korean BBQ pizza (good). High quality ingredients and excellent service.

Jamie Stenzel

Long wait for walk in seating on a Saturday night, but the food and atmosphere was totally worth it!

Isaiah Ruffin

The decor here is pretty dope. The food and service is also exceptional. I would recommend coming here for sure. We drove from Colorado to try it out. And it was worth the trip.

Shoumit Karnik

Took the Korean BBQ pizza and the kimchi. Kimchi was great, Korean BBQ pizza could've done without the weird flavored salad on top. Overall an OK experience for a restaurant which is overbooked and overpriced.

Jessica Brown

Sat at the bar, and our bartender was awesome. She totally made the night. Pizza and drinks were delicious, but the service is what truly stood out.

Jayme Schiller

Food is great but now you gave to put your name in to sit at the bar. We were just there and counted 6 open spots. Party of 2 was denied ordering drinks until seated.

amjad Ahmad (Asquared)

The food is good we had the Korean BBQ pizza. The prices are high. Our waitress was not attentive and actually took my drink away while I was still drinking it. I would say the staff is not trained well, most of them were standing and talking. They don’t have a patio!!

Banle Gaar

Went back June 29 2022. Got a bunch of vegetarian dishes and the butcher's cut (pork tenderloin). Still amazing. Came here on Saturday morning for lunch, thank goodness I got there early because the lot they have out back filled up within ten minutes of it being open. People had already formed a line outside waiting to get in. It wasn't even a holiday! Goes to show this company is well loved by their customers. At first glanced inside I was a bit confused of the seating. There's bar seating, "hearth" (made that up) seating and one long table on the opposite side of the bar that made me almost think the bar worked both sides (totally wrong just a long table for two's to sit at). They also had a table near the bar of 16(?) in a large square that had many groups joined together. Liked that design there. There is an odd path way between bar/pizza pit to go to the bathroom and photo booth. Bar tender was great and so was the old fashioned. Got the pork ssam, my god that pork melted in your mouth. I don't know if you are supposed to put the green onion salad in the wrap, but don't too stringy and just pulls out the whole thing when you take one bite. Now lets take a moment and talk about the Japanese sweet potatoes. Dear lord, get this dish! This literally beats the hell out of any potato/sweet potato America has. The fresno peppers were a fantastic addition to this dish (couldn't taste any pickling though). To end the lunch a amatriciana pizza. Having worked in an Italian spot for a long time we used to make these for BoH/FoH. Man we should've jumped the gun and started selling these to customers instead. For the most part the pizza (which was cooked perfectly and held it's weight) was great, but the sauce to me was a little lack luster. A little too thin with the sauce and it needed more chili flake, had the air of Midwestern "heat". Overall wonderful place, a bit of a distance but luckily Lola is near me.

Prerna

Nice food. The place has lots of unique pizza .

Val

Young Joni continues to impress even amidst the pandemic with unique and well-balanced dishes. That haemul jjigae especially though--top notch sweet and salty flavors and perfectly cooked seafood. Best dish of the night!

Ebiere Okah

Lovely food and friendly servers. The bartender I had tonight was amazing, so helpful and responsive. Get the cauliflower and Korean BBQ pizza

Greg Pfeffer

In addition to the amazing food the overall atmosphere is super relaxing while also being energizing. Great vibe, highly recommend! Make sure to get a reservation!

Demetria Smith

Great place with good food. The cookies on this dessert platter were amazing!!!

Michael O'Reilly

It was okay. Really cool restaurant, staff were super nice, drinks were good, but the food was meh. We only ate the Korean BBQ pizza and the Umami Mama pizza, and they were just not worth the price. We also had the Caesar salad, and it was actually terrible. So, cool environment, meh food.

Gus Johnson

Our Bartender Dan was friendly, and the drinks and food were great. Both were made quickly, even on a busy Friday night.

Nicole Henzel

So many great things to say about Young Joni, LOVE the Cauliflower, the pizzas and so much more! Always delicious cocktails on the menu too!!!

Kay P

Loved this vibe! The seabass was soooo good! We also had wings, cesar salad and brocoli pizza and they were all amazing. Cannot wait to go back!

MV

Loved everything about this place. Cool vibe and the food was delicious. The pizza was good but the apps we shared were even better. Get the spare ribs...

Lawson Kellen

I was definitely happy with the service. They arrived on time and made sure the filters weren't blocked. I will definitely be using them again.

Stephen Choukalas

Another wonderful lunch at Young Joni. Great service and the food was top notch as usual. Had the spare ribs for the first time but will not be the last. The pizza was great as usual as well.

Sasha Alasia

This place is so cute and yummy. I had the mushroom pizza, with the cookies and milk dessert to end the meal and both were so delicious. Highly recommend

Laine

Came here for lunch on Sunday was interested on their Korean barbecue pizza and was not disappointed love the new fusion foods mlps is offering Also got a lame pizza which was also delicious Definitely a cute place to come check it out

Say Hello to the City

Visited Minneapolis over the weekend and was impressed by the city and its overall vibe. It's one of those cities that doesn't receive much national fanfare, but the locals could care less because it means more for them. Young Joni's is situated in the Art District inside a very succulent-heavy building. More than anything, I liked the space. It felt very lived-in. Drinks were strong and the pizzas were good, but not anything tremendously special. The Korean BBQ sounded good in theory, but didn't shock and awe as much as I would've assumed. The photo booth is fun (two sheets for $3, which is pricey) but it's a nice way to end a visit.

Natasha Carlson

The pizza is life changing. We get the tavern pie almost every time, but other pizzas are really good too. They also have a tasty gluten-free crust, my husband was even willing to eat it. Just know, they are always busy and it won't be fast. But it's worth the wait.

Lal Stiles

The pizza is great! But the price might make you think k about going to your favorite Pizza joint next time.

Cecilia Rosales Reed

Lovely experience! Great atmosphere and the food is so good!!! So many flavors that blend together well!

Emily Kraeske

Young Joni has great service, tasty and unique twists on standard dishes, and pretty good vegetarian options. They're definitely priced for a fancy-ish date night or special occasion, but it's so worth it if it's in your price range. I've made reservations a couple of weeks in advance every time I've gone and it seems to book for "normal" dinner hours at least a week in advance, but it's always a fun dinner to look forward to. If you like cocktails and have extra time when visiting, definitely stop by the Back Bar for some fun drinks and a speakeasy atmosphere!

Rasikanand Harvind

Absolutely fantastic. One of my new favorite restaurants in the twin cities. Friend took me through to the back room (or whatever it was called). Loved the dark, cabin ambiance. Food came out lightning fast and was freaking delicious! If you're hungry, you can eat an entire pizza by yourself. There was a 30 minute wait when we went. We just went to Dangerous Man (which is literally next door) while we waited. The only thing I didn't really like was the waiter being a little pushy when it came to ordering a drink. I'm a lightweight and I was already very tipsy. I tried ordering food directly, but the waiter kept insisting I get a drink. Luckily they had non-alcoholic options. I just thought it was a bit much. But still, I liked it a lot. The food itself is worth going again and again for haha.

Glider Pilot

Excellent staff. Excellent food. Dear owner, please continue with your good hiring practices and management. Everyone moving around to make the food and being nice. it's a beautiful machine of delicious production. 5/13/22 7:00- We were at the bar. I dropped the last bite of a delicious Korean rib . A most wonderful staff person at bar surprised with an extra rib. To world: Eat here.

Sherry Jackson

Always great food and friendly service. It's a little annoying you can't make reservations but it just gives us a chance to hang out in the back bar or Dangerous Man while we wait for our table. If you get the chance, grab some photos of you and your crew in the photo booth!

Brian Stormo

The pizza is really worth the hype, the atmosphere is great, and the menu is one of a kind. Visited from out of town, finally got a reservation I could make work. So glad I was able to. Parking lot gets a little hectic with a light snow, but there's plenty of street parking in the area. Definitely check out the church basement dessert!

Gus Anchondo

Great atmosphere and food. The pizza options were hard to choose from. All the food looked really good and tasted great. All the toppings were fresh and full of flavor. The space is open and loud.

Vishnu Suresh

Korean infused menu, with excellent appetizers, pizzas and cocktails. For apps, we absolutely loved the Bibim Grain Bowl, the Burrata and peas, the Spicy Cauliflower and the excellent Wings. We also really enjoyed the spicy pork ribs, but wish we had more 😂. Pizzas: Must get the Parisian (arugula bed) and the Spicy lamb sausage! Loved them. The restaurant also has a cute photo booth, great to take memories back with you after you have the olive oil & sea salt soft serve ice cream 😍

Jake Gustine

It was busy but my buddy and I got seats at the bar in about 10 minutes. The bartender gave some of the best service I've ever had. The pizza was delicious and came out surprisingly fast. Great place.

Nicole Weiler

Absolutely love this NE Arts District spot. Whether grabbing pizza in the dining room flanked by the giant copper oven, or in the back bar sharing conversation over cocktails, the service and atmosphere are top notch. The broccolini and umami pizzas are my favorite but you really can’t go wrong!

Vee Lee

I love this place! Cool, laid-back ambience, kind servers, great drink menu and of course, fantastic pizza. The spicy lamb is by far my favorite, though I've eaten several of their pizzas. They have something for everyone, including GF options. Will always come back here for my Korean BBQ and spicy lamb sausage pizza.

Sara Twogood

Stopped in for lunch and instantly got a seat up at the bar. Which was actually really good seats, we got front row to watch them cooking the pizzas in the wood fire oven. Had excellent service from our server. The pizza was AMAZING! We had the old reliable (add mushrooms and pepperoni). It was excellent quality, great sauce, toppings and good crust and prepared perfectly. We loved it and were happy. Stayed and tried the dessert as well, the seasonal (peaches and Blueberry) crisp was delicious. We combined it with a twist of their soft serve ice cream (seasonal strawberry mixed with the vanilla). The hostess even bought the ice cream for us, which I thought was so nice. I can't remember anytime of going out and having a server do that just because. The restaurant was also very interesting, lots of plants and interesting set up. Highly recommend stopping in here.

Dan Cannon

Artisan pizzas and a really cool atmosphere. I will definitely come back to try all their other food options. Pizza 5/5👍 …

Jason Haupt

Yes! I have never been disappointed here. The fusion of this place is perfect. The Korean style dishes match the taste and quality I get from the best restaurants in New York and San Francisco. Plus, pizza!! Perfect date spot, I take out of town work colleagues here to show them what Minneapolis can actually produce. Worth the wait to scheduling a table. Plus that is why they are generally booked.

jlpeaceout

Very hip restaurant with great cocktails and delicious food. The pizza is amazing!

Steve Landis

Remarkable flavors. Really just so darned good. And the service is amazing. Do not miss!

John LaPres

I know this place had a lot of hype going to it and it lived up in every way possible. Got a reservation (you are going to need one) on a Thursday and the place was pretty full. The cocktails were phenomenal and our waitress was fun and helpful. You need to try the wings here they are my favorite in the city. I don’t think there is a bad thing on the menu. I look forward to coming again soon

Faye Comer

If the light is on in the alley, the bar in the back is open...you must visit. Once seated (we requested the Chef's counter) the food, all of it, was delicious, hot, and served rather quickly. We will be back.

Anna Stamborski

Young Joni, is that you? We saw your finger prints all across the meal. Your little nimble fingers cutting the thin slices of onion on the Basque pizza to the massaging of the arugula on the Korean bbq pizza. You’re the child chef prodigy we’ve been waiting for. All the accolades go to Ann Kim, but we know who the hero really is. You, Young Joni.

Joel Weixel

Friendly staff, great knowledge of the menu. The gluten free crust is house made and divine. Well done!

Nicholas Enderle

Great speak easy. Enter by door in the alley. Nice small tables that sit 2-4 people. Larger tables available if needed. Drink names are fun and hidden within the menu. Prices are normal for the type of drinks and atmosphere. Service was quick.

Chase Nelson

I absolutely love the way this place presents itself. The inside is like no other restaurant I've been in, from the music to the atmosphere. The menu was created to be shared, I wish more places did this. The food was amazing, bring a couple people with you to split more of the dishes. Definitely try and make a reservation though, it gets booked fast. I had the Bibim Grain Salad, Smokey the Trout Pizza, Korean BBQ Pizza, Zeppole and the Church Basement Cookie and Bar Plate. Everything was great. If you can get in I'd recommend it.

The Shark

One of the Best Pizza places in the US. Service is fantastic. Food is incredible! One of the best restaurants in the twin cities

Joe K

Excellent restaurant. The Korean barbeque pizza was honestly the best pizza I've had in my entire life.

Caitlin Maus-Grussing

Enjoyed a last minute, walk-in dinner with friends. Awesome pizza and wonderful service.

Nick Beddow

Amazing pizza and Korean short ribs that we tried. Might be worth making a reservation if you want to go at a popular time. The coolest spot in the cities. Excellent service by the staff. Very comfortable atmosphere. Despite the quality I did not get an elitist vibe at all. It was one of the best dining experiences of my life.

Kevin Thompson

Delicious food every time. The best item is the Korean sweet potatoes- perfect balance of sweet, smokey, and creamy.

Brian Bethke

The pizza here is creative and delicious. It’s a bit pricey but it’s not your average pizza. The back bar is great too.

Kelly McCrimmon

After all the great reviews, I had to see what all the hype was about! Young Joni certainly lives up to its reputation - everything was phenomenal. My party of three was able to get in on a Tuesday evening without waiting, but expect to wait if you're here on the weekend and don't have a reservation. Service was great - our waitress offered multiple recommendations for our first time and never rushed us with the ordering process. We started with three small bites which all had great flavor in their own way - I highly recommend the corn when it's on the menu. Salty, sweet, buttery and spicy - what more could you want? We shared the Tavern Pie on the recommendation of the server and the people sharing our table, and it was definitely a favorite of ours. Everything on the dessert menu sounded good, but we ended up with the mini cone trio, which was the perfect end to a perfect meal - and look how cute they are! You can't go wrong with Young Joni with anything on the menu!

Cindy Andress

The atmosphere was cozy and upbeat at the same time. The service was superb and the food outstanding. The was a large wine menu and specialty drinks. We will definitely visit again! Sarsaparilla to drink, Bimbim Grain Salad, Cauliflower, YOLO pizza and La Parisienne pizza

Lisa Stewart

Awesome, every time. Make sure you get a reservation for a large group. If just 2, you can usually get a seat up at the full service bar or a shared table. Love the feel in Young Joni. Great service. Attentive but not annoying. Food is great and I really enjoy a glass of Rosé with dinner. Then after dinner head down to the Speakeasy.

Jordan Bollom

Great unique flavors, good ambiance and service. 4 stars because they weren’t able to make any adjustments for my onion allergy and it’s pretty pricey.

sourabh sharva

Food with class...! The starters are to die for, rich and flavorful. Unique in its own way. Specially the sweet potatoes and cauliflower dish. Pizzas are also good and has very distinct taste which you will remember forever. They also have nice collection of drinks. The place is big and has big waiting list on evenings. Though it’s modern design but still has elements of coziness. You will definitely like it for special and small occasions. Note: you can also try pizzeria Lola if you are near to that. As both are similar on taste and menu.

Ryan M

Everything in the place was top notch. The food was amazing, the service was superb and the ambiance was awesome! Even the bathroom had awesome soap they really left no stone unturned when creating this. I travel 3 weeks a month for work and this was the best meal out of my house I have had in years. I hate squash but it was amazing GET. IT. NOW. Outstanding Place!

Roxanne De

Incredible, memorable food you won't forget, Ann Kim's tasty creations are something you can't miss when coming to Minneapolis.

Tracey Fung

We loved all of the food we had here. Appetizers: mushrooms, cauliflower, burrata, and Thai sausage skewers. Pizza: Basque and Korean BBQ. Dessert: church basement plate (choc chip cookies, lemon meringue, and choc peanut butter mousse with milk). The pizzas are smaller but this was more than enough food for 4 people, as we had to take some pizza home. The service, however, was a little slow even though there weren't that many people at the restaurant.

Sara Boklep

The Back Bar was awesome! Pizza was good. Drinks were fun. They have great music and ambiance.

Henry Nieberg

There will always be a line, but the food is well worth it. The crust has a perfect combination of crispy and doughy textures. I was very impressed by the quality of the cheese and tomatoes. The caesar salad was interesting, I've never had one with eggs before but it added a unique new touch.

Dave Allen

LOVED the atmosphere here, very cool interior design and the communal table layout is really neat. Pizzas were delicious. I think the food was overpriced, though. Great for a once-in-awhile type of indulgence.

Alex Buck

It's like Young Joni asked itself "What if wood fired pizza wasn't terrible?" Pizza was great and there are plenty of options if you're not in the mood for pizza. Great place, but the door is tricky.

Minh Nguyen

Wow the food and service here were amazing! We ordered the Cauliflower, KBBQ pizza, and Umami Pizza. We were blown away by the Cauliflower. Whole the pizzas were great, they weren't unique like the Cauliflower. I'm not huge on veggies but when we asked the waiter for recommendations, he highly recommended the Cauliflower and Japanese Sweet Potato. Now I wish I had gotten those two and one pizza. But overall everything was delicious and I would highly recommend this location.

Parry

Best restaurant in the twin cities. Great ambiance, great quality of food, great service.

Xenia Santiago

Great place ... A must do in Minneapolis. The food was great and the wait staff was efficient and courteous.

James Palka

Amazing place. Food and atmosphere are terrific.

Yuan Ding

Innovative Korean + Italian cooking. Trendy cocktails for a fancy night out.

Mike Otten

Great 🍕! Has a long wait, so make reservations. Really cool interior as well. Check out the photo booth and all copper pizza oven imported from France. …

Alexandra Dickison

Where do I even begin? The food here is excellent - especially their pizzas. If I were to have more self-control eating an entire 'Umami Mama' pizza, I would be visiting this place every week! Also, they have a cool "speakeasy" bar behind the restaurant that is straight 70's vibes - totally recommend those drinks!

Danny Truong

Took my wife here for our wedding anniversary and absolutely LOVED every second of it!! The service was excellent- our server was hipster cool and had excellent recommendations. We gave her the open menu to pick out 5 menu items and every item was delicious! We would definitely be coming back again.

Juan Albanell

If you only have one dinner in Minneapolis make it this one. Had the caulifower, vietnamese sausage and mushroom pizza and they all were incredible and beautifully presented

Slsclimbhgts Minneapolis

Shared table experience. Decent drink prices. Next time I'll try the famed pizza.

Becca Kae

The food, the atmosphere, the front door even... so cool. It is on the pricey side, but so so worth it. The food really deserves to be mentioned again, everything we tried was simply wonderful. It's so hard to choose what to get, because everything is so yummy!

Milan H

Best pizza I think I’ve ever had. I had the one with pepperoni, jalapeño, and honey. Called Tavern I think.

Sydney Long

As good as they all say! Definitely put your reservation in now! We did pizza and wings and all was great. The staff was incredible and the food and drinks were super fast to come out. They don't have a tip section on the tab so be sure to bring some cash to leave your waitstaff!

Hai Ngo

Pizza was good. Space is amazing. The fusion plates were okay.

naveen rawat

Good fun place in northeast minneapolis. Had been there couple of times but looks like the cook has changed or something. Tried the cauliflower and veggie pizzas and they were not so great anymore. Servers are friendly and helping. Would have given 5 based on my first experience, But was really disappointed with the way the food taste has gone down recently.

Farihah Haque

So many unique pizza options and if course some of the traditional staples! The pizza is sooo good. The cauliflower appetizer is 10/10. Will definitely go back. None of the pizza disappoint!

Doug Corson

Very fun lively atmosphere. Nice decor. Great staff at every level. Had Korean BBQ & Yolo pizzas (pep, sausage, bacon) both very good and would recommend. Walked in just after opening (4) and got the last 2 spots at the bar. Making reservations for the return visit. Manhattan=4 but had decent 🍺 options.

A Platt

The most amazing prawns I've ever tasted. Absurdly long wait time, but it's worth the wait.

Rhonda Roberts

So, so good. Delicious pizza with little flavor twists. There is also a nice craft beer selection. Can't wait to go back!

Rachel Childers

Delicious cocktails, apps, pizza, and ice cream sundae. No complaints. We were able to get in on a Sunday without a reservation, but I wouldn't count on it.

Braxton Ray

We tried the This Lamb is Your Lamb pizza and the Sweet Potato side/appetizer. Both were fantastic. We caught the restaurant at a not super busy time on a weekday and had excellent service. We will definitely be returning to share the experience with others!

Shannon Smith

My son just came from a trip to New York City and said this meal was better than any he had there. What a flavor experience. Oh and get dessert and share it. We got the mandarin ice cream with salted Carmel and the rhubarb crisp. Put a little ice cream on the crisp. Genius idea our waitress told us about. And my husband said he doesn’t like rhubarb. Lol!!! We had to stop him from ordering seconds just for himself.

Tristan Pollock

Inventive, delicious, probably the best pizza in Minneapolis.

Shane

Everything we tried here was fantastic! The pizza’s are wonderful and very interesting, but the other menu items were even better! Go with a group and order everything to share. Great drinks and great vibe as well.

What I liked- ambiance, pizza and the place as a whole What was ok- cauliflower appetizer: no flavor, with sweet yogurt , won't order again.. What sucked- old fashioned drink: sugar water drink . Yukk.. $14 drink + 20% service charge, I expected better cocktail than sugar water. After 3 cocktails, 1 app, 1 pizza I paid 100 bucks. When asked about photo booth, $5 charge. Conclusion- over hyped place. Sister place, Pizza Lola is 10x better. Lola does much tastier pizza.N they throw photo booth for free.

Young Kim

Very unique, interesting fusion food that has the look of American food, but a pack of flavor from South Korea. Great Atmosphere, friendly service, and food is reasonably priced. This is a must go restaurant for everyone, especially those who are visiting Minnesota.

Kailee Carlson

Holy moly no wonder this place won a James Beard award. I didn't even feel like I was in MN when I walked in. I loved the open bar/kitchen/dining room layout and all of the unique dishware, tables, etc. Started off with the Paloma cocktail because who doesn't love a little tequila with a kick?! Then 2 of us split the cauliflower from the vegetable section of the menu. Hands down the best and most unique cauliflower I have ever had. Also tried the Bibim Grain salad which was full of phenomenal flavors. I could eat just these 2 things every day for the rest of my life. Then, we split one of the infamous pizzas. We had the La Parisienne which was recommended by our waitress. Talk about explosion of flavors with every bite. The ricotta and prosciutto on it were incredible. I was unsure about the mustard seed, but it turned out to be delicious. They also have gluten free crust which we did not try but it is an option. Lastly, we split the Church Basement Cookie and Bar Plate which came with 3 different desserts and a little glass of milk. The chocolate chip cookie and sea salt bar on it were great, the rhubarb bar was just ok. There is also a photo booth in the back which would be a fun date or party idea. Definitely make reservations to come here way ahead of time! I made mine a few weeks out for 2 people but it can be done easily online. Plenty of free street parking.

Susan Anderson

This is my FAVORITE restaurant. When I have something to celebrate I make a reservation here. I love the delicious pizza, cozy atmosphere, great service, and getting to people watch.

Christopher M

Fantastic food and service. This is the most fun I’ve had at a restaurant in ages, between the food selections, drink quality, and ambiance. They did everything right. All of the Korean inspired dishes are worth pursuing, get wild and try something new.

Joan Dao

Back Bar is my happy place. Well thoughtout themed drinks. Friendly staff and ultra chill cabin vibe with the best music. They also have a wonderful collection of miniature bar glassware

Rachel Mach

Lots or interesting and unusual pizzas. Broccolini was the group favorite. The wings were also great and so was the olive oil icecream.

Nicholas Leeman

Phenomenal service and delicious food. The Parisienne pizza was topped with an absolute handful of arugula set off by the perfect amount of pickled mustard seeds. My life was changed by their mule, made with vodka and a house-made ginger syrup. Overall, a fantastic dining experience. Make sure to make reservations.

Kristy Bican, REALTOR

Delicious cocktails and woodfire pizza!

Dean Dahlen

Pretty awesome pizza. Cocktails are good too.

James Kim

Great pizza. Korean influenced appetizers. Trendy place.

Sam Campbell

Amazing experience! Cauliflower starter and Korean BBQ pizza were great and same with the peach blueberry crisp! Only weird thing were the Rickey cocktails. They have a massive pillar of ice in them, leaving barely any room for the drink itself. It also watered it down quickly! In my opinion, that specific drink is not worth $14 with the huge block of ice in it lmao

Rachel Jones

Split 3 different pizzas on the table and all were delicious. Service was great. Cocktails upstairs were good. We were seated at a long table so we did have random people next to us which I didn't love but it didn't ruin my experience. The back bar was cool but the cocktails were unfortunately not good. We ordered four different cocktails off the signature menu and all four were hard to finish. We did not stick sround for seconds.

Daniel Page

Great service, nice facility, excellent pizza.

Darcy Karl

Food and drinks were so so yummy but here’s the other wonderful part…the hosts were exceptionally kind and accommodating and our bartender the same. Personable and funny, too. The place beams beautiful energy ✨

Jamal Furat Mussa

This place is the bomb! Best drinks and pizza I enjoyed in a long time. Atmosphere is pretty dope and the staff are very hip. I have been to place like Punch, red rabbit and etc. but this place blew me away. It’s something about the amazing atmosphere here that had me calm and relaxed. I had great pizza here and drinks with some coworkers leaving me satisfied. This place is not to easy to find as it’s kind of hidden but when you get here, you won’t be disappointed as they have anything from pasta, pizzas, drinks, salads, bread sides, deserts, you name it, they have it! Parking was a little squeeze as it’s hard to get nearby parking but otherwise 2 thumbs up from me any day. Good place to bring your loved one for a nice dinner or just a group dinner after a movie, or maybe some nice comfort food before you start pub crawling. Stop by and give Young Joni a try and I promise you will be blown away. Thank you guys for the making service and Until next time, keep up the great work!

Shereen Y.

Amazing food. Bibim Grain, Cauliflower--just perfect! I was excited for Gluten Free pizza, ordered Umami Mama, but as everywhere happens to be the case the edges of the pizza were burnt. Nonetheless, all the dishes were etremely delicious with fresh ingredients. Drinks are very special too. Sea salt-olive ice cream was unexpected delight! What an imagination for food. Congrats to the Chef-owner!

Bryant Thomas

Can decide what's better - the food or the atmosphere, both are top notch. Great spot for a fun dinner and drinks while in the twin cities.

Scott Elkins

Lives up to its strong reputation. Inventive vegetable dishes rich in flavor and variety. Beautifully done fish. Service was warm, professional and knowledgeable. Fun house cocktails and mocktails. We'll be back to try out the pizzas.

Han Kim

Believe the hype. Not only superb but also accomodated GF/DF. Highly recommend.

Derek Vien

The ambiance of the restaurant is very nice. Service was friendly. If you like Pizzeria Lola then you'll like Young Joni, same owner same pizzas.

Stephen Kronforst

Pizza to die for!!! Great wait staff. Very homey frel

Kyle Waites

Wow just wow. The Korean short ribs are a must. This is a super fun place that serves food fast and has fantastic cocktails.

Garry Capers

Great food, cool vibe, and superior service. My friend in Atlanta recommended I visit and I can understand how Young Joni has fans nationwide!

Dino Kordopitoulas

Beautiful space. Food was good. It’s essentially high quality pizza with strong quality control (there was a dude double checking every pizza). For vegetarians, table loved the potato pizza! I liked the broccoli one as well. Also the sweet potato app was amazing

ML Hung

Pawns are delicious with sauces on the plate, gotta clean those up. Sausages on dry side. My Thai friend say the grilled whole fish is amazing, she have not see this in MN, she found herself a comfort food. Soft Ice-cream - must try.

Logan Paquin

A hidden gem behind an exceptional pizza stop. The pizza is as good as you'd expect (which is excellent), and the drinks are unique and flavorful. The atmosphere is authentic yet fun, and the service is awesome.

Sachin Balusu

Very good ambience avg service , pizza at its best Young Jonis a must try!!!!

Mark Lungre

Delicious pizza! We had the Tavern Pie, pepperoni, jalapeño and honey, and the YOLO, bacon, sausage and pepperoni. We can’t wait to try it again.

Deanna Payne

Incredible flavor, don’t sleep on the charred cabbage. It’s amazing. Service was impeccable.

Andrew Schneider

Excellent service and ambiance. One of the best pizzas in MN.

Sean Beaverson

What can you say… James Beard for a reason. The salad, pizza and dessert were world class and our service was on point. 10/10 you wish you lived close enough to pop in.

Ben Peterson

Was not hungry but could not resist that slice of pizza. Wonderful place to sit back and relax. Gave an extra sense of getting away from everything.

Emily H

Young Joni had been on my list of places to go to since its opening was announced. I was extremely excited with all the hype it was getting and I was looking forward to go for food and drinks! I finally went last week and it was just ok. We went on a Thursday night, had no problem with our server but the food nor drink were anything worth going back for. We had 4 pizzas as a group and the ribs along with a number of drinks. The only pizza that was good was the Korean BBQ. The La Parisienne, One Potato, Two, and Umami Mama all lacked seasoning. The pizza crust is definitely above average! Disappointing after so many good reviews and press that this just isn't worth the price point and quality.

John Weirick

What can I say about my No. 1 go-to spot for local restaurant recommendations and friends who visit the city? Should I describe the incredibly flavorful pizzas with crisp and crunchy crust edges that come from the visible wood-fired oven? All the dreamy pizzas that are thin crust but big on creativity and finesse, from the Tavern Pie with pepperoni and jalapeño and honey to the La Parisienne with prosciutto, gruyere, ricotta, and arugula? Or the masterful cauliflower dish with shishito peppers or the Japanese sweet potatoes or the Korean beef short ribs? Would I tell you to get wine for the table because the list is superb and suits any food you order? And perhaps might I suggest dessert, such as the knockout best version of a common Midwestern treat, the Church Basement Cookie and Bar Plate? Well, I’ll just say get your reservations well in advance so you can enjoy some of the most deserving James Beard Best Chef Midwest Ann Kim-created dishes in this cozy and beautiful restaurant. Other pizza well worth your time: The Basque and Korean BBQ. Other drinks worth your time: basically any cocktail they make. Don’t even get me started on the Back Bar. Two words: Social Hour. OK, four more: rare vintage sound system.

Stephan S

So awesome! Loved it! So worthit!

John Waterston

Who doesn't like pizza. Plus great drinks, (even though mine, the old fashioned, I was told is premade earlier) was great. Super cool vibe. Saw a mn twins player while there. Casual spot. Photo booth just like at Lola! Definitely will be back.

Jennifer Penner

The pizza is great. But the rest of the menu was absolutely amazing. I had the wings and the cauliflower. Full bar and good beer selection. We got there about 3pm on a Saturday was able to get right in but still amazed at how busy it was!

Lauren Ott

Such good pizza, interesting drinks and a fun vibe. Everything is reasonably priced so it's a good place to share and try a lot!

Steven Poppler

Young Joni is fantastic! The ambience and service were top notch. We tried several dishes, all of which were delicious. Make sure that you order the Korean bbq pizza and the pork belly lettuce wraps, they're incredible. After one experience, this restaurant instantly made it into my top 5 of Twin Cities restaurants. The month long wait to get a reservation was absolutely worth it. Make sure you reserve your table asap.

Jordon Fiske

The stars are for the pizza, I haven't had anything else here. The staff was super friendly and the atmosphere was a bit odd. I found the flavors to be super unique but not all they are hyped up to be. I've had better tasting pizza for less money around the cities. If a good atmosphere and unique is what you're after, by all means check it out. If you want some good pizza for less money, there's lots of other choices.

Cody Price

My friends and I had a great experience at the restaurant! The vibe and feel of the room was so cool! The food was great and came out really quickly! Luke is what made the experience for us though! While we were waiting for a table he asked if we needed a water or a sprite, took a second to show me around the restaurant, and even when we weren’t in his section made a point to check on us throughout our meal! I’d recommend to anyone in town!

Nicholas Lokshin

Fantastic! One of our favorite restaurants.

Prajwal Reddy

One of the best pizza places in the cities. It is very busy on the weekends and you will need a reservation or the wait can be fairly long. If you do wait, there is a speakeasy themed bar adjacent to the restaurant with great drinks. Great ambience, food, and overall dining experience.

Grant Schoen

Ordered the Sausage & Onion & the YOLO pizzas. Both had amazing flavor & were delicious. Got to sit on the "chefs-bar" which was a cool experience. Will be back to explore more of the menu!

Christy Johnson

Great food, cocktails, and service. Go check out the food for yourself.

Suzanne Durkacs

Returned to Young Joni’s for our traditional Easter dinner. The Amalfi pizza was the best pizza ever! Veggie dishes are amazing, beets and cauliflower are so tasty! Friendly, welcoming place with tasty food! The prawns had a nice kick. We had a mushroom pizza, a pizza with anchovies and Korean BBQ. And a kale salad. And some kimchi. All were delicious! The menu served our table well with a mix of vegetarians and meat eaters. Dangerous Man's Kolsch on tap was excellent! The atmo is warm and welcoming and nothing like any other place I've been to in the Twin Cities. Looking forward to my next visit to Young Joni's.

Angel L.

Torn between all the creative pizza choices and ultimately went with "La Parisienne" filled with prosciutto, gruyère, ricotta, brown butter, caramelized onion, arugula, pickled mustard seed. This was the most perfect and well balanced flavor combination. Thai Sausage and Japanese Yams were my favorites. The atmosphere and interior design is like a modern rustic filled with plenty notes of copper and blue. Wonderful place!

Ryan Johnson

Great, creative foods! Excellent pizzas and the whole fish and sweet potatoes are out of this world.

Vincent Haberland

I was at Joni with two colleagues and we had some great pizza! The ambiance is Asian/industrial and we really appreciated the atmosphere while having lunch. The pizza was near perfect, a thin bottom, crispy crust and great tasting ingredients. It tasted just like in Italy and the only improvement I could think of is to have the pizza being just a bit more firm. Small detail and nothing to worry about. Would eat here again!

Jami Schroeder

Delicious pizza. Stopped here for a late lunch and the restaurant was still busy, so I would recommend making a reservation. One pizza is enough for two people. They sell tokens for a photo booth on the menu. I only wish I could've had dessert

Paul Stoddard

my new favorite restaurant in Minneapolis! go there!

Rebecca A

Delicious! We had the cauliflower, the mackerel, and the Basque pizza. Everything was so good. We will be going back. I want to try the Bibim salad. The couple next to us ordered it and it looked really good. The only negativity is the noise level - way too high.

enc travel

It’s a trendy casual bar-style dining with great Korean- themed fusions including Pizzas. Dining reservations can not take 6, so we settle for bar seating instead. Bar is on first-come-first-served and it was chaotic since there was no attendant at the door. We had to come in and remind waiter, and he was kind to save seats for us.. The decor was unique blends of vintage and new. We ordered several types: Bibimpap (rice, veggie, meat), cauliflower, short ribs, pizzas, and all are delicious . Our server was very friendly and helpful.

Katie Herzog

Came for a date night with my husband. Amazing!! Loved the atmosphere. Ordered the Thai sausage lettuce wraps and mushroom pizza. So in love!

Natia Howard

Amazing pizza. Unfortunately we had a bad experience with a rude hostess that put a bad taste in our mouth afterwards! We had been sitting/eating for longer than our “90 minute” reservation and the host came and kicked us out. We obviously just hadn’t been paying attention to the time seeing as though we were entertaining out of town guests. Instead of courteously informing us we had to make our way out, she had a huge attitude and very rudely told us we had 5 minutes to leave 😂. This is completely unacceptable customer service lol. Hoping it’s just one bad egg, and we will definitely be back!

Bruce Miller

Great cauliflower vegie app really solid pizza to follow. Mushrooms + fennel sausage added. On the go back to list.

Floson

We watched this restaurant on DDD and barstool pizza review and knew we had to come. We showed up at 6 pm without a reservation and they were booked of course. But we were immediately seated at the chefs bar. A little tight but ok. The decor is amazing. The service was excellent (a little uncomfortable on the 21% “gratuity” but she did great. The pizza was out of this world! I know Dave have it a 7.6 but I would rate the pizza an 8.5 all day.

Joel Bartlett

This place is so popular I wondered if it could live up to the hype. It did. The food was done with panache and style. Great flavors! The appetizers are sadly not very shareable, but one provided the four of us a taste. Entrees portions are small. The fish is excellent but not as shareable as they may suggest. One note for anyone who avoids lactose, dairy is included in every dish in some way, though not often disclosed in the description. Oh, and they have pizza which is shareable, but spendy no matter what.

Samir Islam

Went with a group of four, ordered a total of three pizzas and a vegetable, it was the perfect amount of food! Pizzas: Korean BBQ (excellent), My Lamb is your Lamb (very good), and Umami Mamma (very good). Vegetable: Cauliflower (excellent).

Brian Adkins

One of our favorite places to dine in the Twin Cities! A wonderful atmosphere, friendly service, and great food.

Chris Lynch

Back bar. Cool space with vintage decor, sort of feels like a steampunk hunting lodge with the wood slats on the walls, a reel to reel audio system, and what looked like hand-blown incandescent lighting. We had a pizza and a few cocktails and it was all delicious but this place is really about the vibe. No reservations so you might need to wait a bit, but it was around 30 mins for us on a Saturday so it was manageable.

Leo Benatar

If you are visiting Minneapolis and looking for pizza, this is the place to be. I used to think Eatery A's pizza from Des Moines, Iowa was the best but I think this place topped it. One of the best restaurant experience's I've had in a long time.

James Urlacher

Delicious food! Great variety to choose from.

Tom Kasprzak

I was with a group of six and we all agreed the food is delicious. Small portion plates, many varieties and a lot to choose from.Great wine list,great service, interior simple ,but well done,chairs were super comfortable. Really would go again.4 1/2 stars should be the rating

Jessie Kolb

Great food and atmosphere. I was charged for two rounds of drinks instead of one. I called after I realized the mistake. They said I would be refunded, but never was. Other than that I would say great. But check your receipt before you leave

Mike Cossette

This place looks terrific, and the customers... look even better. It's so swanky, it almost feels out of place in Northeast, but I'll give it a chance to change my mind :-) My appetizers (Prawns & BBQ Short Ribs) both had intense flavor. The service was quick and very attentive. A+ and well done!

Becky Dixon

Beautiful ambiance. Knowledgeable staff and delicious food. I can't wait to go back!

Vaughn and Amycar

Service was great! We had Khoa for our server. There was a 45 minutes wait for dinner for 2, after waiting 5 minutes, we were offered a spot at the "community table" it was great! We ordered the Bibim Bean, Japanese Sweet Potatoes, (special of the day) Red Snapper, Umami Mami Mushroom Pizza (we ended up bringing to go as we were already stuffed!) and vanilla soft serve with seasalt & olive oil ice cream. The front door was confusing! There's no door knob and no sign that says push/pull. 😂 Most people go there and order pizza (just like in Pizzeria Lola) and I think it's a shame they miss out on the other items in the menu.

Lance Kinstner

This place gets 5/5 stars for the Umami Mami pizza alone. It's SO GOOD! Everything else I've had there was good too, but just not as excellent as that pizza. The sweet potatoes are definitely worth trying, coming in at second best of the dishes I've had there. The place is fancy inside. The staff is great too.

Suzy B

Excellent! The flavors of the Bibim grain salad danced across our tastebuds. The prawns just a touch spicy heat so delightful. The Sausage and carmelized onions pizza so yummy. The church basement bar desserts just the sweet ending to a delicious dining experience. Atmosphere is outstanding.

Sidi Cisse

what fun this place is. Awesome drinks and cool atmosphere, we love coming here!

Dennis Heinle

I went with a big group of friends and got the amatriciana pizza and it was very good. The Umami Mama was also very good. Someone spilled water on my pizza and they just made me a new one even though it wasn't their fault! Also they make a good Old Fashioned. I would definitely go back.

Tamara Gootman

Beautiful but very comfortable atmosphere. Amazing service, food ,and cocktail list to die for.

Patrick Kelly

Everything is great at Young Joni. This is the best wood fired restaurant I've ever experienced in the world including Joni's sister, Lola. I especially liked the cauliflower, the meatballs and The Basque pizza. Service is 5 stars all the way. You'll have fun at Young Joni.

Kimberly Ehart

Yum, yum, yum! Get the charred savoy cabbage and the La Parisienne pizza. So tasty!

Anita Chandrasekhar

Best pizza in town. Totally worth the wait for a walk in if you don't have a reservation

Keith McDonald

First time and loved it. It's like Punch Pizza, but with a serious Korean twist to it. I had the Korean BBQ Beef and I lost my mind. Sooooo gooooood!

Bryan Folkens

All in all it was good, the inside decore was put together nice. My wife had a cocktail she said it was too strong and I agreed, we also overheard another ladie that said hers was too strong as well. We first started out with the cauliflower dish it was really good. We both got pizzas Korean bbq, it was alright we probably wouldn't get it again and I had a pizza that started with a A don't quite remember, it was alright as well. We had pizza lola before and it was really good we both just tried ones that was a little different I think next time we would just go with what we know we would like. The pizza crust is very good and everything comes out pretty fast. The one thing I didn't like very much was my chair it was kinda uncomfortable to sit in for long periods of time.

Mark Vancleave

My girlfriend and I hadn't gone on a dinner date since the start of the pandemic but we had good news to celebrate and decided to treat ourselves. We ordered a pizza, salad, short ribs, sweet potatoes (surprise favorite) and kimchi. All great. The Rubber Soul cocktail kit was a last-minute impulse add but I'm glad I did–it was a step above something I could normally mix together at home and totally delicious. We splurged on a feast but the pricing and portions are totally reasonable for any occasion. I can't wait to dine-in again, but in the mean time this was a great experience.

Gretchen Lawn

Amazing! Great food, beautiful restaurant, fun atmosphere. The workers clearly love their job, all of them. Which means the owners are doing it right.

Courtney Smith

The Korean BBQ pizza was the best pizza I’ve ever had.

Kim K

Love love love this place. It was our first time visiting. I absolutely recommend this to anyone who wants to have a fun night out on the town. Wear your flapper dresses. This is entertainment at its best!!!

Nate Lockett

Amazing pizza. One of the best Gluten Free crust in Minnesota. The variety of pizzas and the selection is also very very good. Drinks are well done and the ambiance is great. Super difficult to get a reservation, recommend waiting for a bar seat to open as it's your best bet to get in on a busy night.

Liz Erickson Monson

Yeah, the pizza is good, BUT THE APPS AND SALAD are my favorite part. This place makes vegetables sexy. Servers are a great mix of helpful and edgy. Energy is always high. It’s worth 30-90 minutes you’ll likely have to wait for a table.

Jeana T

Split a salad, vegetable, and pizza with my boyfriend. Every dish was careful curated with bursting flavor and quality ingredients. Service was tentative, despite it being a busy Saturday night.

George Matsumoto

Beyond artisan pizza. Carefully crafted, quality ingredients brought together for immense flavor. We shared a salad and each ordered a pizza. If your looking for the "standard" pizza fare, this place is not for you. If you have an adventurous mind and palette, I would highly recommend giving it a try.

ryan hoese

Brought my mom here for her birthday. The appetizers were phenomenal and the pizza was fantastic. Perfect service, perfect food. Can’t say enough good things about this place. I’m not picky and I usually enjoy trying fun restaurants around Minneapolis but this place is a step above the rest. Would recommend to anyone!

Urban RoninX

We ordered takeout and I went to pick up our food. There is no direct curbside pickup but street parking isn't too hard to find. The food is always delicious here so no complaints there. I was alittle early picking up but they were able to get my order ready and was 100% correct.

Heather Vanderberg

Incredible service and atmosphere. There was a bit of a wait (2 hours) but we hung out at the bar around until a spot opened up. The bartenders were very helpful in moving people to open seats and starting to serve. Met a great couple at the bar that told us all about Minneapolis. It was a wonderful time! Get the Traven Pie!

Greg Doornink

Been here at least 6 times. This place is so hot it literally started on fire the other day. I always get a Korean BBQ pizza, but everything else is just top bar. Love the YOLO, Cauliflower, Tavern Pie, everything is great. Make sure to check out the back bar with new menu. Make a reservation ehre tho, or if you have 2 or 3 people, you can sneak a spot at the bar n belly up. Or better yet just grab a Za to go and crush it by yourself... no judgement here.

Lauren Nelson

Stopped by on a Tuesday night- we had friendly service, DELICIOUS food, and tasty beer from neighbor Brewery Dangerous Man (which we also had beers at while waiting for our table). The environment is very classy and comfortable, and the prices were well worth the food.

Joshua Hanson

One of the best restaurants in the Midwest. Exceptional experience from the first drink through one-of-a-kind appetizers and outstanding pizzas. The service and atmosphere are perfection as well. You can tell extreme care, talent, and thought went into ever design detail from the green tile to the real candles. A favorite spot for us.

Charlie U

Best pizza in the cities.

Tracy Johnson

The back bar is great. Great service, amazing drinks, chill atmosphere.

Jennifer Markey

I love this place; it’s an awesome spot to bring friends from out of town. The decor is gorgeous and the service is friendly. The drinks are pricey but it’s a good time. A couple of criticisms, though: My three friends and I got mixed drinks. I think we each had 5-7 drinks each (we were there a long time) and not one of us was what we would consider drunk, MAYBE buzzed. So the drinks are very weak, which wouldn’t bother me except that they are $10 each. The decor is awesome, but, come to find out, they got a designer from California to do the job. That made me sad. Surely we have great designers locally that could’ve done equally incredible work. The house music is played on reel-to-reel tape, so don’t even bother trying to Shazam it (this is a compliment!). Small cheese, sausage and pepperoni pizzas are available in the back bar also, and they are delicious. Recommend.

Katharine Porter

Can’t get a reservation? There’s a reason. It’s phenomenal.

Zoilo Ruacho

First time and wont be last. Couldnt make it into the backbar but good reason to return. Food was the winner cocktails lacked flavor.

James Mullaly

The pizza is excellent at YJ. However, all the other creative dishes on the menu are what really keeps me coming back. The cauliflower dish is absolutely the best cauliflower I’ve had anywhere, ever! I literally think about this item randomly during the week and crave it! The Bibim Grain salad is also mind blowing! Lastly, the restaurant has an awesome, inviting design with so much attention to detail and excellent lighting.

Kiernan Johnson

Excellent pizza, nice atmosphere, would definitely visit again.

Ryan Klein

The hippest restaurant in MN. I can never decide if I like the decor/ambiance or the food more. Both are so carefully crafted and intentionally chosen. Perfect for celebrations or date night. Every pizza I've had has been outstanding, but I dont think you can beat the classic Korean BBQ. This restaurant almost singlehandedly got me hooked on the world of food and dining. It opened my eyes to what a restaurant can be. Chef Ann Kim is a gift to MN and the world.

Kayla Backus

I took a friend here for her birthday. My first time at Young Joni, and I would highly recommend it. 5/5 for ease of making a reservation, atmosphere, staff, and food. We had a lot of fun.

Meagan Laxen

Just had the best experience with our bartender, Emma. The food was amazing, the drinks were perfect… but the kind, genuine, knowledgeable service made our entire experience. Thank you to those that absolutely crush the service industry standards that we work so hard to maintain.

false

Cauliflower, tavern pie, and umami are our favorites! Summer seasonal is great as well

Lou Lou

Ate three different pizzas: Korean BBQ Sausage Onion La Parisienne Drank: The Bottineau Everything was tasty. I was nestled in such a comfy spot for dining. And I had the best service! Everyone was kind and accommodating. Thanks!

Shruthi Ingarsal

Food and venue was exceptionally good. We wanted to check this place for a while now.. finally had the chance to do so with family. Every dish had a unique amazing flavor. The final tab was reasonable too after 8 drinks and all the food for 4 people.

Virginia

Delicious and varied appetizers, delicious pizzas and exquisite mini burgers and when visit them ask for fried broccoli 😍😍😍😍😍 …

Corey Butler

My wife and I love Pizzeria Lola, so of course we had to give this place a try, since it is a lot closer to where we live. We had the Bibim Grain, Korean Beef Short Ribs, and Chicken Tinga Pizza. Our food was ready when we arrived, still warm when we got it home, and delicious. The menu is a little different from Lola’s for some variety, but if you like one, you will like the other.

Sarah Karber

Delicious pizza! Their most popular item is the Korean BBQ pizza and it was worth getting, but their two rib options were great too.

Anna Wilson

The atmosphere and food is amazing. The service is very hit-or-miss. I've had servers that have been attentive and approachable and I've had servers that have demeaned my intelligence when I wasn't sure what cocktail I wanted to try. Weekends are busy, the wait time can get up to 2hr long. The bright side to that: they have a Speakeasy attached to them so you can enjoy a drink prior to your meal while you wait. The service there has always been on point. There is also a photobooth you can enjoy in Young Joni if you ask your server for the code! Last tip: I highly recommend sitting at the Chef's Table.

Sara Jacobson

The food is amazing and drinks are creative. Super fun vibe.

Kirsten Solonika

Great service, amazing food! Pizza was soooo good. You really can’t go wrong with any of them. Don’t forget their veggie section though!! The cauliflower and turnips were out of this world. Definitely coming back again!

Kayla Prusinski

Delicious as ever. Great service. The chefs do an amazing job at pairing interesting foods and tastes. The sweet potatoes and Korean beef short ribs were great to start the night. This Lamb is Your Lamb was perfect. The flavors felt like a Mediterranean pizza in the best kind of way. And the Basque was another great pairing of flavors.

Michael Kapsch

Delicious bites of all sorts at this place! The hardest part was opening the front door, you'll see when you get there. We were able to walk in without a reservation at 5pm, and the staff said that's the case most weeknights

BJ N.

only go here if you have a date you really wanna impress. otherwise it is super expensive and you will leave feeling hungry.

Andrew Koch

The atmosphere here is just as fun and stylish as you've probably heard. The pizza menu is fantastic and the Mule is strong. 👌🏼 TIP: Take a trip toward the back and visit the photobooth - takes souvenir with you. …

Ashley Hjelle

Service great ! Food great! I have high expectations, and I was more than pleased. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting this area. It is even worth an ‘out of the way’ trip. Excellent!

Melanie Daas

The back bar: An intimate environment with the right touch of levity. Current menu is deliciously novel & fun, especially for TV buffs! If you can find it, you won't regret it.

Nadia Janis

Really yummy food in a beautiful setting! I really enjoyed the mushroom pizza.

Steven Dammer

Wonderful food and service. Everything from the sweet and spicy pork spare ribs to the Tavern Pie and Korean BBQ pizzas were fantastic.

Edward Morafka

Can't say enough good things about the place!

James Zitterkopf

The ambience is wonderful and the food is an out of the world gastonomic experience, a true gem in NE

They have amazing pizza here (one of our favorites) but the customer service for take-out orders is terrible. It’s almost impossible to get an order for the time you want (even after trying hours in advance) and if you call they can’t help you out. They book up So quickly and seem not to be able to handle very many orders. Very frustrating experience nearly every time.

I’ll admit I was hesitant to try here because I tend to find most trendy restaurants overhyped and disappointing. Boy, was I glad I went for it! The salad I ordered, while a bit pricey, was delicious and the pizza was great. The crust was fantastic and had a nice texture to it. I’m normally not a huge fan of crust but this one was so good I ate the whole thing. I’ll definitely be coming back soon!

Stopped in for some cocktails and was very impressed. Excellent service, drinks and atmosphere. Love the whole vibe of the place. The only thing that would make it better would be a fireplace. Our server was very personable, and at the end of the night gave us a little dessert coffee shot. I will definitely be back. The menu also changes, so it's worth going again to try out the new drinks.

Rena Feldman

Just want to say Thank You for delicious food and impecable service. Everyone at the restaurant was very corteous and welcoming but Sean made our daughter's birthday celebration dinner especially pleasant. He was great at recommending dishes and drinks and bringing out food at just perfect times. Rare experince these days! We always enjoyed Youg Joni and were not disspointed once again. We will definitely be back!

B Gilbert

Fantastic pizza, light crispy crust. Apps well executed, hitting all the right flavors. Made grill mackerel taste amazing, better play than that sashimi. Cocktails list short, but flavor pairings well done. Staff is super accommodating. Relaxing vibe, large shared wood tables, but not too close neighbor, chef's counter/table, great vibe for friends, dates, or unwind. Can see why top spot, it delivers on all fronts. Inquire about their separate bar lounge.

Angie Duellman

Chemistry, art and taste-this food has it all

Peter Larson

Good times, great drinks, the pens they had for signing the bill write excellent

Janavi

Like the decor and the starters we ordered. However we weren't a huge fan of the service or the pizza we got.

Joshlyn Olsen

From appetizers and salads to pizzas and cocktails (and more!), you cannot go wrong with anything at YJ. Have loved everything I’ve tried on their menu — it’s always such an amazing experience. The take out situation is pretty easy too! The cocktail kit was one of the best I’ve had during these Covid days.

Young K

Amazing foods, drinks, and atmosphere!

Justin Collins

Popped in on a whim on a Sunday night, sat at the bar and mostly dealt with Jack, the other Bartenders were awesome but he mostly took care of us. Knowledge and service unparalleled. Been in service industry a long time and love seeing people who actually care. Will absolutely handle the commute to be back. Seriously killer 11/10.

Travis Anderson

Good food, nice vibes. The alley bar is even better.

Neapolitan style, crust was done well. I had the YOLO. Bacon was quality, pepperoni seemed to be the familiar smaller variety in Vogue with MN pizzerias, sausage was earthy but not really what I had in mind for a meat pie. Topping were generous. There was a good amount of cheese but not too much. Cheese should not be piled high on pizza. Sauce was acidic, it had a nice character but it tasted rushed. Overall it is going to be a better pie than you would be able to get elsewhere save for a few places in the Twin Cities. The price for a 12" was outlandish. Not enough for two people to really share without a side. TL;DR Sauce needs work, sausage is ok, cheese is good, form factor and presentation were great, price was steep for what is being offered.

Tim P

Really good pizza! We had the Korean BBQ and the Tavern pizza. The Korean was delicious and had nice beef slices and arugula on top. We ordered the tavern with gluten free dough and it wasn’t as good. They have a nice selection of wines by the glass as well.

Chelsea Novotny

Young Joni takeout has gotten us through Covid. Especially on nights when we want to treat ourselves or don’t have time to cook. The pizza is always amazing. I recommend getting the Tavern Pie or Korean BBQ or both! They are ensuring the safety of their guests during this time.

Foodie Delish MN

Fantastic pizza and cocktails.

Bob P

One of the best meals I have ever had !

Rachel Freeman

Sooo good. Worth the price. Broccolini on top left, seasonal Confit Cherry Tomato on top right, basque bottom left and umami mama bottom right

Shari Brennan

Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Had the Umami an Yolo pizzas. Both were outstanding! Also had the cookie/bar selection for dessert which was perfect for after dinner.

Christian Osmundson

I would put the pizza from Young Joni at the top of the list in the Twin Cities and certainly regionally. My favorites are Black Sheep and Punch Pizza but the Korean BBQ put's them to shame. I would highly recommend their grilled wings as well and the roasted cauliflower is amazing. Their seasonal pizzas are fantastic and when they have a seasonal fish - make sure to try it out, especially any trouts! In non-COVID19 times, this is also one of the best looking restaurants in the Midwest - modern yet rustic and cozy and a beautiful adaptation of an historic building in NE Minneapolis. The back bar is a fantastic starting place for a boozy Saturday afternoon or a pre-dinner cocktail or spirt. This is one of the few restaurant experiences that I miss during COVID19 - you just want to be there!

Isaiah

A very cool vibe. Interesting foods. The cauliflower was delicious. The pizza was very filling also. Ask questions. Great service

Pieter K

Excellent pizza and other dishes are also perfect

yuri r

Very good food. Great pizza. Poor service. Got served wrong wine and got a lecture instead of apology. Also if no reservations 2 hours wait

Cai Lee

Good gourmet pizza, amazing cocktails. Sat at the community table and still felt safe and comfortable amidst covid.

Ben Johnson

The Parisian Pizza cannot be missed! Young Joni never disappoints, I have always been incredibly impressed, firstly with the food but also with the service. Excellent!

Tommy S

These are the best specialty pizzas ever! The Korean beer bbq one is insaane!! Also love the one with mustard and prosciutto - it’s really good too! Service is amazing too!

Anne DW

The food is amazing!! Our server was impeccable. I loved the open kitchen and huge pizza oven. I highly recommend dining there.

Epsilon Peters

Great food and drinks. Make sure to check out the back bar around the corner.

Joe VanCura

Awesome atmosphere and food. My 1st experience there was so good my I went back almost immediately for a 2nd time. From appetizers to dessert top notch quality

Vince Aimutis

Fantastic restaurant! We tried four different pizzas (One Potato Two, Broccolini, Tavern, La Parisienne) and every one was creative, flavorful in its own way, and delicious. Also tried two apps (Burrata & Green Peas and Kimchi). Drinks were phenomenal. Definitely can see why this place is one of the highest rated in the cities.

Christopher Johnson

Wish I would have taken pictures but the food and dining experience was so good I forgot. Perfect service, great food. They know their stuff and execution was impeccable. I am a fan and will be back.

Josh Thiel

Best pizza around! The crust really makes the food amazing. Nice atmosphere and bar. Have to check out the speak easy also

Joseph Ray

Nice atmosphere , pricey. But loved the pizza 🍕 …

Elizabeth Drantch

Amazing experience, helpful and friendly staff, great ambience, and INCREDIBLE food. Crudo and kimchi were a fresh, bright start to dinner and the Italian red sauce really shone in the Amalfi pizza.

Chia 'Tia' Stallings

You can tell this place is the place to be when there is an hour and a half wait on a Thursday evening. I've been here 3-4 times and it never disappoints. Located in Northeast Minneapolis, in the art district, this is a perfect location! Fabulous staff & Easy to read menu. The prices are very reasonable. Atmosphere is divine. We went for their pizza special of the day and as a group of 4, we devoured it! Must experience one of the best fire pizzas in Town!

Reid Kaplan

While it may be hard to get in to eat that’s because it’s absolutely amazing. I have thoroughly enjoyed all the food. The flavor combinations are great and I love the dishes that are a little spicy. The service is friendly and attentive and don’t get me started on the vibe and atmosphere of the restaurant. . Can’t wait to eat there again next time I’m in town.

Samantha Hinkle

This restaurant is beautiful and has an incredible menu. It's hard to get a reservation, so we came in the middle of the day when we knew it would be less busy. The pizza was divine, would recommend to everyone and definitely plan on coming back.

Chloé Bergh

originally planned to go for pizza and ended up ordering 3 small plates in addition to our two pizzas. Food was so so excellent. Service was great & timely

Amanda Thomas

The pizza is unique and tasty. Service was great, and they came out with our food way faster than we anticipated. Definitely will be stopping in again!

Ryan Blum

One of the best MSP restaurants.

Jacob Messing

Good food, service was decent but not outstanding. The back bar seating sacrifices looking cool for being practical. None the less, very good food and vibe.

Dan Nguyen

Great food and great staff! The food here is traditional but with it's own twist to the menu. The atmosphere is inviting and the place is beautiful. I do recommend getting reservations as soon as possible since they are very busy, especially on the weekends.

Tyson Godar

Best pizza I've ever had without question.

Katherine Stovern

Fantastic pizzas, great service, 10/10 would recommend! If you get the chance, do your tastebuds a favor and get the pork starter- amazing! I’ve enjoyed the atmosphere and food every time I’ve come.

John Larson

Delicious and exceptional service. A bit pricy but well worth it.

Jack Carlson

I love this place so much!! I have yet to order anything but the pizza, but I have so much love for these guys!! The atmosphere is out of this world cool and the staff is friendly and prompt. The cocktail drinks are super inventive and great names. Just an amazing place to go to for any occasion!!!

Courtney B

Amazing food, atmosphere, and service! Everything we had to eat and drink was delicious. Our server Ruby made the experience so special for us.

Denisse rose

Pizza was subpar the service and drinks were great!!

Jocelyn Kilpatrick

Love the food at Young Joni, and the the Owner is inspirational.

Becki Lonnquist

What can I say? We’ve never had a bad experience here. We’ve had their pizzas, vegetables and their cocktails. All good!

Toni Bechtel

Par-baked pizzas are the way to go (in this COVID era at least). I hope that continues into the future as a take away option. Very easy system for a minimal contact experience. Always delicious food that never disappoints.

Taylor Stamp

Great food, a touch pricy

Don C

We stumbled on this place by stumbled on this place by accident the last time we were in the cities they had great ingredients for their pizza at the time the special was like chile verde type of pizza that was really good and one of the sides was sopes I think they were amazing. Definitely going out of my way to go there again

Whitney Halasz

Delicious food, great drinks, staff was super on point when it was busy and even looked like they were having fun. Great experience!

Jeff Harvey

Excellent food and service. We had the sweet potato and Thai sausage appetizers that were amazing! Pizza was great too. Highly recommend.

M Louise Foss

Wonderfully imaginative cocktails and good pizza. This was a fun stop in nordeast. Theres even a tiny door.

Randall Garman

The mushroom pizza was probably the best I've ever had.

Willie Herath

Delicious! We had the bean & pea burrata salad, the pork belly lettuce wraps, and the whole fish. Everything was outstanding!

matthew smith

Great food!! Amazing atmosphere and was helped by everyone. Was just an all around great experience. Wonderful variety of small plates, craft drinks and shareable good food. Friday thru Saturday ? You'll need a reservation. Just saying.

Heidi Wilensky

Unique & delicious! Service was attentive but not annoying. Food was so good, just the right amount of spice & full of flavor. Portions are not huge so you can order a variety of menu items and not over eat or waste food. Excellent experience all the way around.

Vanesai Xiong

Great food, exceptional service. We had a miscommunication on our side, and ended up setting too early of a pickup time. Young Joni was super accommodating, I can't praise them enough.

Joe

Laid back environment, with analog HiFi, crafted cocktails in back bar and they do serve YJ pizza. Not the most comfortable seating to dine but it will do in a pinch. Best to reserve a table or wait for table in main dining area and enjoy the back bar for drinks.

Brandon Botzet

We were a little late for our reservation but they called and held the table for us which was very kind. The food and service was fabulous. We didn't know what some of the things were but the descriptions and service was very helpful. The atmosphere added to a great date night

Ben Stori

Other than pizzeria Lola, this is the best pizza. Make reservations b/c this place is so good, if you don't you will have at least an hour wait.

Aaron

Very good restaurant. Would highly recommend their pizza. YOLO pizza is one of the best pizzas I've had. Great area to put your name in while you wait and head over to the brewery next door for a few beers.

Andrew Padgett

The best pizza in the Twin Cities, tied with sister restaurant Pizzeria Lola. I can't say enough good things about this place. There's a reason my two cats are named Joni (pictured left) and Lola!

Bridget Haley

INSANELY good food, some of the best in the Twin Cities. Caesar salad and pizza are incredible.10/10 all around!!

Tom Keller

Good atmosphere. Perfect service even though it was busy. Crazy good pizza. Loved it all!
