Punch Pizza is a beloved Twin Cities institution known for authentic Neapolitan pies baked in a wood-fired oven in under a minute. The fast-casual restaurant uses high-quality ingredients including imported Italian buffalo mozzarella, crushed tomato sauce, and simple house-made dough. With a relaxed, family-friendly vibe, it is a staple destination for quick lunches, casual dinners, and fresh salads.

History

Founded in 1996, Punch Pizza was inspired by the traditional pizzerias of Naples, Italy. The restaurant has gained a loyal following for its commitment to quality and flavor, with recipes that have been perfected over the years.

Quick tip: Pair your pie with the signature Punch Salad, and arrive slightly outside peak dinner hours on weekends when lines can form.
