Pizzeria Lola (Minneapolis, MN)

Margherita ∙

Very similar to the Zelo pie, but with a bit more sauce – maybe some herbs included… very soft and delicate, but flavorful cheese, great crust – light, not too burnt. The red pie with gluten free crust was solid as well (saying a lot IMO). This might have been my favorite margherita in Minneapolis (sounds like a love song, doesn’t it?). Not surprising that it is another gem from the lovely Chef Ann Kim. I did not expect to be this in love with Minneapolis pizza. You can’t visit without going to one of her many shops.


Pizza Luce (Minneapolis, MN)

Half Classic (Italian sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, green peppers, onions, black olives and mozzarella on red sauce) ∙ Half Luce (Italian sausage, fresh garlic, onion and extra mozzarella on red sauce) ∙

The only comparison to the classic is a good frozen pizza. The Luce should not be the namesake pie of the shop. Its okay…little to note on any side. Unsure how this place competes in this market…it’s basically a local spot comparable to a chain. Not trying to be harsh, but it displays the spectrum of MSPZA.
