My mind is going 100 miles an hour thinking of all the other great Minnesota pizza places that I've eaten at that I would totally add to this list. Zadeo's in Rochester, Gary's in St. Cloud, Pompeii's in Elk River, Taste of the Big Apple in Owatonna, just to name a few.
Honestly, I may not be the best judge, because I'm not sure I've ever met a pizza I didn't like. Just keep the pineapple off of it. Hot fruit is meant for desserts.
