“ Great pizza, awesome and patient staff. The soda machine didn't have bubbles at all for some reason but I was okay with water. Pepperoni had a a lot of oil but not too bad. ”

“ Great pizza and delicious salads. There was very little wait time before our salads and pizza arrived. Just enough time to pick a place to sit down, get water and napkins etc. I feel the wait time between ordering and receiving your food has decreased. Loved the food. ”

“ I’ve been ordering the same pizza from Punch since I was 16—nearly two decades later, I’m still hooked. Their pizzas are out of this world—wood-fired perfection every single time. I even went to Italy and spent time in Naples, and I’m not exaggerating when I say it was legitimately hard to find a pizza as good as Punch. The flavor, the crust, the quality—it’s all there. This place isn’t just nostalgic for me, it’s world-class. ”

“ My husband and I were traveling to the area and found Punch Pizza Lake Calhoun. We are so happy that we did. The pizza melts in your mouth and is absolutely amazing!! We split a pizza and got a chocolate hazelnut panini. Every thing is made fresh on the spot and fired in the pizza oven. It only takes a few short minutes cook, and when they call out your number, then you can immerse yourself in total food satisfaction. Thank you Punch, we had the total food experience. Great food. Great service. Clean and comfortable environment. I will definitely go back when back in the area!! ”

“ Punch Pizza on West Lake Street has been a beloved part of my life for years. Nestled close to Lake Bde Maka Ska (formerly Lake Calhoun), this location holds a special place in my heart, especially now that I get to share it with my three-and-a-half-year-old daughter, Benedetta. There's something truly special about visiting a place you've loved for years and now experiencing it through the eyes of your child. Every time we visit, I proudly bring Benedetta in, say hello to the friendly staff, and order our usual pizzas. For me, it's always the Puttanesca—anchovies, onions, capers, and kalamata olives. I can't resist it, no matter how many times I've had it. My wife, Sabrina, is loyal to the Toscano, which features sausage and roasted red pepper. While I still think my Puttanesca is superior, Sabrina always enjoys her Toscano. Benedetta, however, surprised us with her choice of the Quattro Formaggi, which we had made with ham instead of prosciutto. To my surprise, her pizza was the best of all. Maybe it's because Sabrina and I always stick to our favorites, but Benedetta's Quattro Formaggi was a delightful change of pace. Watching her use a fork and knife to cut her own slice, and then offering me a bite, was one of the cutest and most heartwarming moments I've had. Next time, I plan to add onions to her pizza, just to see how it enhances the already amazing flavor. The staff at Punch Pizza is always exceptional. Whether it's the team expertly crafting pizzas and working the oven or the friendly cashier—Aiden, on this visit—everyone is consistently smiling and ensuring a wonderful experience. The interior, with its light and welcoming colors, is always spotless, adding to the overall charm of the place. Having visited Europe many times, including Italy, I can confidently say that Punch Pizza brings a taste of authentic European pizza right here to Minnesota. It's incredible to have such a high-quality pizza spot in our community, and I'm grateful for it. From the owner to the management, to everyone who chooses the top-notch ingredients and ensures each pizza is perfect, I want to express my deepest thanks. Punch Pizza has been a consistent part of my life ever since my first visit to the Highland location, and I look forward to many more delicious meals here. Simply put, there is no better place to get pizza in all of Minnesota. Punch Pizza will always have my highest recommendation. A very Happy Pizza Eater of yours for years, Geoffrey Serdar ”

Their authentic Neapolitan-style pizzas are crafted with fresh ingredients and baked to perfection in a wood-fired oven, delivering a delightful charred crust and vibrant flavors. The Margherita pizza, in particular, stands out with its simple yet delicious combination of sweet crushed tomatoes, fresh basil, and just the right amount of mozzarella .
