Davanni’s

i was super hungry and didn’t bring any lunch. i haven’t been to davanni’s in over 8 years and decided to order from them. they had dropped by my work one day to give us a bunch of goodies so i decided to order from them. i remember my husband and i going to davanni’s when we used to live in bloomington. they were so good. because it’s been such a long time since we’ve been there, i wanted to see if they were still as good as i remembered. i had ordered a medium deep dish «works» pizza. it took about 35 to 40 min before the pizza arrived. the pizza delivery guy was really nice. as for the pizza. i found the sauce to be salty. to think i love eating salty food. BUT my taste buds have been a little off the past week with getting sick. everything has been too sweet or too salty lately. overall. the pizza was really good. just like how i remembered it. the bread from the pizza itself was super soft and enjoyable. because that medium pizza was more than i could eat, i told my husband to swing by so that he can have some for lunch. even with him having braces on, he was able to eat it. he said it wasn’t salty (which means my sickness is to blame for thinking it was salty) and he enjoyed it a lot. i had saved 2 slices for lunch the next day. let me tell you, it was amazing! it was even better the next day and not as salty. i will definitely be ordering from davanni’s again.

Love the Assorted Hoagie on wheat and have for years! I have moved out of state but each visit back deserves a stop. Each time it is nice to know the taste is just how I remember it, totally delicious!

Its in a strip mall but dont let that detour your pizza craving. Had a thin crust special was very good sauce and lots of toppings. Did call ahead carry out because its very busy place.

Located next to a gas station. The pizza isn’t great but you can get a huge deep dish that is slathered with toppings. The salads are good but small too. And if you want to make modifications you need to really emphasize what you want. I gave my order for salad with no bacon and no cheese and it came out full of bacon and cheese. There are a ton of young people working here but it took forever for our order to come out. The seating is good though as they have a lot of booths and tables.

Ordered the chicken Florentine deep dish for delivery. Arrived before they expected and it was Superb! The deep dish has amazing flavor, the toppings meld perfectly together, not overly heavy or salty. Would absolutely order again!!!

Love this pizza that I’ve eaten it twice in three days. If I ever come back to Minnetonka, this is the place will be my go to pizza place. Amazing crust, perfect amount of sauce and toppings!

When me and my wife got up here to see my daughter it was getting late and we needed to find a place to eat. Our first choice, Old Chicago was jammed and had no place to park so we ended up here. Now while I had eaten at Davanni’s several times years ago and my daughter had been there before as well it was my wife’s first go-​around. We ordered the cheese bread and a pizza and were very happy with everything we got. The cheese bread was as I remember it, large slices, full of cheese and very tasty. The pizza, that too was how I remember it and everyone loved it. They are a wee bit on the high priced side but it is worth it when you consider what you get at some joints for their prices. The staff could not have been more friendly and we would go there again without a doubt.

Not surprised when I saw the low rating for this place, because you FAIL!!! We waited over 45 minutes to get two large pizzas for carry out, after being told it would only take 20!

This pizza is horrible! Anything other than 1 star is a lie. People need to be truthful in Unilocal,that’s what it is about!

Good pizza, and I love the hoagie’s! I recommend the turkey on wheat.

I put in a deliver order more than 3 hours in advance so I could ensure we would get our pizzas on time. ½ an hour later than I requested delivery, and the pizza arrived cold and part of our order was missing. I had to call twice and after another ½ hour, told them it was too late to bring the other pizza. I was offered $ 7 off our bill. We never received the missing pizza or the dessert they said were on the way with it. We were very disappointed in the food and service.

One of the best spinach salads I’ve ever eaten!!!

Some of the best calzones I’ve ate anywhere are found HERE. (I hold them in the same regard as the legendary BeauJo’s in Colorado.) And I’m shocked nobody has reviewed this location! When I stay in Eden Prairie on business and need something to eat this is my failsafe place to call on as I can count on the following EVERY time.
1: Friendly service.
2: Hot and properly spiced food. No cardboard taste here.
3: Best calzones I’ve ever had, anywhere in America. They are one of the standards I measure calzones by.
4: Hoagies. They have several I like but the Southwestern Chicken stands out.
5: Pizza: Mediterranean or the Chicken and Roma Tomato, on either original crust or deep dish are also very good.
I’ve ordered close to closing time and not encountered any attitude, just good food served with a smile. Order for lunch and it’s good too. Some places have a time of day they do better than others but Davanni’s gets it right consistently.
Davanni’s is well worth a look, when you step in the door make sure and take a second and sniff. Your nose will tell you all you need to know about this place and how good it is.

I love the turkey hoagies on wheat and the brownies are more than trouble! I give it a 3 because it isn’t consistent.

I love Davannis, but this location just leaves a little to be desired. The hot hoagies are my favorite, but the ambiance is a little drab and when you consider your options in the area, it doesn’t stand out.

I tend to eat very healthy most of the time, and there is nothing on Davanni’s menu that meets that criteria. And when I’m looking to splurge and get something decadent in the land of pizza, there are so many other places to choose from in the metro that I rarely think of Davanni’s. I won’t lie — their deep dish can be an exception. A delicious, gooey, fatbomb of an exception. But it’s very rare.
The location in EP just seems awkward. It’s awkward to use as a business lunch space. It’s awkward to use as a gathering or party space due to its weird location stuck next to a gas station with limited parking. I forget it exists. Yes, the food is comparable to any other Davanni’s location, it’s just that any other Davanni’s location seems to be more convenient or useful.
Davanni’s can be a great space for a private gathering, as they have rooms that can be completely closed off from the rest of the restaurant. However, it’s a bit less than fancy to say the least: you walk up, order at a counter, and wait for someone to call when it’s ready. Not exactly optimal for using that nice space for anything business-​related, but work is the reason why I have ended up there for my last two visits. Nothing like a meeting interrupted by a 2-​year-​old who decided they wanted to run screaming from their parents and terrorize the restaurant.
Still, due to its fast-​food type of service, it’s a convenient stop for many on their lunch breaks — just not for me. I’ll stick with the rare delivery order from a location closer to home.

The food was alright, but I will not be going back. I felt like I was in a cheap pizza place from 1982. Half of the building is a gas station, and you feel like you haven’t gone far to get your pizza. They were playing music that should be reserved for elevators only. Don’t waste your time to get pizza here, head over to Punch pizza not far away.

If you’re in the market for a totally inoffensive suburban «Italian» deli experience, Davanni’s will do the trick just fine. Just don’t expect to be blown away and you’ll be ok.
Got it?
p. s. — This is only in reference to the toasted hoagies. I doubt I would ever give the pizza a shot with Punch so near by.
