First off let me just say: Best pizza in Minot.
While it's not the best I've ever had (which seems to only exist in New Jersey, New York and strangely enough Orlando Florida...), it's definitely a valid effort and the best I've been able to find in the state of North Dakota. (and believe me there are a lot of bad pizza in ND)
They do only one kind of crust: thin crust, and only one size: 18" so you either get a large pizza or by the slice. Â Their topping selection is a fairly long list of options.
A couple things to keep in mind:
1. It is thin crust, and they do not seem to have a grasp on draining some of their toppings; do not overload your pizza with toppings or you will end up with a sloppy mess. Stick with something simple and be prepared to pick up each slice with both hands or it will all fall off the front.
2. They have a revolving selection of special pizzas; but they arent always well though out. The barbecue pizza for example was overly sweet and lacked the subtle earthiness of a good barbecue pizza.
So while they do make a decent pizza, it's occasionally hit and miss and I've had the best experiences when I just order my own toppings and not the specials and kept the list to 1, 2 or at most 3 toppings.
The rest of the menu is limited but they do have a bar.
The chicken wings were decent, but somewhat over priced for the portion size. I have yet to try the tacos or grinders, but I've seen them on other peoples tables and they looked fresh and inviting. If we lived closer I might try those other options for a meal, but at the moment it's a bit of a drive for us to get there and we tend to reserve the trip for when we want a decent pizza.
After trying a few of their specials and variations I tend to stick with a whole pie with just mushrooms and occasionally pepperoni. My girlfriend likes the buffalo chicken pizza. So we both tend to get our own pizza and just take home the left overs.
Also their zeppole for desert are exceptionally good, among the best I've ever had even back east. Just be sure to eat them hot and fresh, they don't store well. We always order them after we've finished eating everything else so they don't get brought out early and get cold.
I'm sorry to say this but I have never ate such a sloppy pizza in my life. For $22 an 18" pizza. It wasn't that great. Apparently we weren't the only table that had problems eating the pizza. Maybe if the crust wasn't so thin then it could handle all the toppings without flopping them on your paper plate. Oh and why only one size pizza? Either it's pizza by the slice or an 18" pizza.
Review Source:Pizza is fine. My overall complaint is that during a break from school, I have an hour to grab food. I go there to get two slices to go (cheese and pepperoni), I get them and drive back to school. I get to my classroom and see that they are both bacon and olive. Well I can't eat this (I'm allergic to olives) and I didn't order this anyways. I call back and he immediately recognized the mistake and promised to mail a voucher for two free slices. OK, problem solved and I'm happy with it.
Five months later I still haven't received the coupons. The manager assured me on the phone he would mail me the coupons, I never got them. Therefore, I won't be back.
Pizza was pretty good. Â Ordered a Salami Sub and got my money back. Â It was the most pitiful sandwich I've ever seen! Â Only THREE thin slices of Salami!!?? Â Even Subway gives you more!! Â AND...didn't even get an apology when I took it back for the counter for a refund. Â
The inside was nice, pizza was good. Â We might be back for the Pizza but not for the service or Sandwiches. Â I posted pics, check them out.
I am SO excited to have a good pizza place in Minot!! Â Or really, a decent place to eat in Minot period is nice.
The atmosphere is fun and laid back, the staff is always friendly and attentive. Â The pizza is New York style thin crust with yummy mozzarella cheese and plenty of toppings to choose from.
I'm in Minot once a month, and before I head to New Town or Belcourt, I always stop by here and grab a slice. Â I would highly recommend this pizza place to anyone who is in Minot that is feeling a need for a hot slice!

6 adults and a small child
Food - 3 stars
Background - The family was talking about this new pizza place. Â Everyone that had been there has enjoyed it in the past. Â So we ordered three 18" pies.
Atmosphere - No I idea as I was at home eating the take-out pizza.
Food (Pizza - 0, 1/2, or full star per item)
Crust - 0 - The crust was ruined by the amount of flour on the pizza. Â I have picture of all the flour left in the box. Â I understand that you need to put flour on the pizza dough but this amount was excessive.
Sauce - 1 - Nothing special.
Cheese - 1 - Again nothing special but it was melted nicely and held the toppings nicely.
Toppings - 1 - I had the salami, it was not greasy which is a plus.
Overall - 3 - The flour really killed my pizza experience.
Service - I only ate the pizza, did not place the order or picked it up so I will not judge them on this.
Future - I want to try their pizza again, but only if it has less flour.
