Navigator Pizzeria

Three of us took a quick stop at Navigator after riding MTN Bikes at Lebanon Hills. The restaurant is located in a strip mall not too far away. When we walked in the restaurant it was empty, granted it was a week night and around 7:00p. The sole employee met us quickly and took our order and was pleasant. The place is decorated with flying memorabilia, mostly pictures. Needs some music to give it a little atmosphere, especially if you are the only people in the restaurant during the 45 mins you are visiting.
We selected one pepperoni pizza and one sausage with half mushrooms and half jalapeño. The pizzas came out fairly fast. The sauce was not bad, there was a good amount of cheese. The mushrooms were canned and the jalapenos were pickled. Not really a fan of either on a pizza, but they were ok. The crust was a thin and cracker like. Good average pizza if you are a fan of that type or crust.
Might visit again if in the area after a bike adventure, and pizza was what I needed. Would not visit as my destination.

If you like burnt thin pizza, this place is for you. I Don’t
MY first choice was a pasta dish… oh my… they said dont make it unless someone orders it, and it takes 20 minutes. HMMMM… No Thanks
So, i ordered the pizza and should have left instead.

Good food, great service, the steath bomber puzza was the best. Recommend this place to anyone with an empty stomach

We tried to order sausage bites, rigatoni with one meatball, and the b52 bomber. Was told the sausage bites would take an extra 40 minutes beyond the pizza cook time, so we went for garlic cheese bread boat. I’m super confused about the pasta. It may have honestly been straight tomato paste on the noodles. We are really forgiving with any sort of red sauce, but couldn’t eat this. It was too bitter and made the paste really bad. Just ate the meatball and piece of white, untoasted bread that came with it, which were pretty good. The cheese bread «boat» was dry so not good on it’s own, and the sauce was the same as the pasta sauce and a miss. Pizza was slightly above average and I couldn’t tell if it was the same sauce or something else, but the other food fails left us hungry and disappointed. Wouldn’t go out of my way to order from here again. Sorry, Navigator :(
** Edit: looking at the customer pictures of the pizza and pasta with grilled side bread, I think someone who had no idea how to make the food was working that night. It did not look like the pictures and was the same or at least pretty close items!

Not terribly impressed I’m afraid. Previous reviews — maybe because this is a newer establishment — have been pretty complimentary. Unfortunately the two pizzas we ordered weren’t memorable, at least for any good qualities. On the upside the ingredients on the Stealth Bomber were good — nice chunks of meat and good gooey cheese. But it was opposite on the Spit Fire (the taco’ish pizza) where it was hard to discern the ingredients. The crust was cardboard-​like — crunchy and not in a neopolitan sort of way — and pretty tasteless. The sauce was very tomato-​paste like — minimally (poorly) seasoned and adding little to the pie. The price in my opinion was too high for what was given in return. I hate writing bad reviews — I don’t know how many times owners see reviews but my best hope is that they take the feedback and try to improve the product. I think they are still in the honeymoon phase so there’s time for course correction.

I’m a pretty harsh critic of pizza but, I was impressed with Navigator Pizza. I ordered a pepperoni and green olive pizza and I was very happy with it. It paired well with some Fat Tire and the Vikings game, which made for a good Sunday to say the least.

This pizza at this place is very great. I live near this pizzeria and have seen a lot of pizza places come and go from this location but I tried a large build your own «plane» pizza and added pepperoni and it amazing. Fast service and friendly workers, would definitely come back again

This is the best lasagna I’ve ever had! EVER. The pizza is pretty dang good too. It reminds me of Mamas pizza but it just happens to be located in Eagan. Check these guys out.

Marcus talked with me about his pizza during my first visit. His years of experience show in the taste and cool combination he has put together on his menu. Cheese boat bread was AWESOME! Pizza was very tasty as well! Ryan, our waiter, was very attentive and nice. Tyler made our pizza and this guy has passion for pizza. You’ve heard the saying, meals made with love are the best. I would apply that here. Thanks, guys! Local gem that I did not know about

Best pizza we have had south of the river in a long time! It arrived hot! Sauce was excellent and not gummy. Really enjoyed this pizza! We are so used to crappy cold pizza in Eagan. Welcome change!

Kudos for not serving meatballs under temp but I really wanted to try the meatball dip! The pizza was good and the pizza sandwich looked good. Really good service.

Great pizza, we went to this location back when it was Piccolos, it’s gone through several owner changes, the new owners brought it back to the great food like it used to be.

Saw the «open» sign and stopped by. Navigator has been open one week. Spent time chatting with the crew that owns and operates the place. They’re making things from scratch, and everything was incredibly fresh and wonderful.
We tried the lasagna and the B-​52 Pizza (pepperoni, sausage, green pepper, onion, mushrooms). The pizza has a thin crispy crust, the sauce is flavorful, yummy. The lasagna (we had the «full order» which is 5 layer… Half order is 3 layer) was one of the best we’ve had. Comes with a couple of pieces of garlic bread.
We’re taking home plenty of leftovers! We were tempted by the dessert (they have different desserts every weekend… this weekend was a blueberry dessert) but were too full.
When we asked what we should try, one of the things they mentioned was the «zero fighter» pizza… Teriyaki chicken with a sweet and sour sauce. We’ll come back to try that when I’m looking for sweet & sour Asian flavors.
We’ll definitely be back. Good luck, Navigator!
