Michaelangelo’s Pizza

This is my neighborhood pizza joint that is so amazingly good. It’s got an unassuming store front but what’s inside is really charming, the people who work there are salt of the earth and the food is amazing. I’m particularly a fan of their buffalo wings and just a plain cheese pizza. I love the hand tossed crust. My family has also raved about pepperoni pizza, spaghetti and mozzarella sticks. The only thing I’d stay away from are the salads — they’re not terrible, just not as great as the rest of the food. It’s extremely kid friendly if you’re dining in, although I get the impression most of their business is pickup or delivery. And a note: on Wed nights make sure to get any delivery orders in early; they have a standing Wed night order with a local church that keeps them really busy that evening (at least at the time I’m writing this review). Other than that, they usually quote 45 minute delivery time but actually get to us in 20 – 30 minutes. I’d highly recommend this place to anyone!

Although the pizza is excellent. They need to pick up their game on their customer service. We have ordered from them twice. I’m both occasions we told her Pizza would be delivered within 1 hour. on the first occasion it took them two hours to get us our pizza but they gave it to us as a comp. On the second occasion it took us an hour and a half to get it and we had to call to find out where it was. When it arrived it was lukewarm. Don’t think we’re gonna be taking a chance on this place again.

Came for the first time since I worked here circa 2004. For whatever reason, I was never enthralled with this place when I worked here, but that’s par for the course. When you work at a place, the food never tastes very good. On this occasion, my mother had a coupon. Of course, she was lost in space. She thought it was good for $ 20 off our order; it was only good for $ 10 off. This was by no means Michaelangelo’s fault.
For our food, we both got salads. I got the caesar, and it was good. I’m not positive, but I think they still make it from scratch. It was good, and the veg was fresh. I just hate wilted salad greens. For our pizza, we got some tomato, basil, and garlic pizza on the thin crust. It was really good. The crust was thin and crispy, which is paramount. I did think it was a little lacking in flavor, but that probably had to do with the sauce on the pizza; we got olive oil, and I think the red sauce would have been much better.
Also, they now take CCs including AMEX, which is nice. Take note Broder’s. We use AMEX in SW Mpls. Anyway, I was really impressed with the food, and I’ll be back. Plus, they keep the dining room open until close, which didn’t used to be the case. Back in the old days when Dave Stein (Good luck with the psoriasis you slug; plus, I love those vacant storefronts-​they really add a nice ambiance to the neighborhood.) owned this place, we’d close the dinging room down by 8pm a lot of the time.
(On a side note, you guys need to put a new floor into the dining room. It’s the same one as circa the Reagan Administration. Even some cheap vinyl flooring would be an improvement.)

WARNING — while they offer online ordering and will charge your credit card, they don’t actually fulfill the order because they don’t like to check their online ordering system.
(This resulted in a ruined party, as while we ordered several pizzas and were charged us for them, they never actually delivered anything. Also, it took four phone calls over four hours to finally get a hold of them to see what happened and to get a refund, as they don’t like to answer the phone when they’re busy either. Absolutely ridiculous.)

Their cheeseburger pizza is my favorite! Their byo policy is also awesome if you’re going to eat there. Very kid friendly

5 stars on the pizza. These guys have GREAT pizza, but for years they have been consistently 50−60+ minutes on pizza delivery. I’m 10 blocks away. I’d order from there more often, but they need to get smarter about their delivery and staff up the number of drivers.
They’re always «really busy» when you call them, but at some point you think they’d figure it out.

Horrible experience and customer service, but a-​okay pizza! I called to place a delivery order and I was quoted 45 minutes for delivery. I told the dispatcher to cancel my order because I felt the wait was too long. She then replied back and asked me what I thought would be a more appropriate time and I said 30 minutes and gladly said «I accept the challenge!». Well I waited close to 43 minutes to eat my pizza.
I called back to informed them that I waited that long and her response was «we tried our best, but what do you want me to do about it?». I just told her to have a nice night.
By the way I would choose Divanni’s Pizza over there deep dish!

Stopped by on a whim, was shopping next door and the smell of the sauce wafting they the air was an immediate draw.
Sat down in the cozy dining space and perused the more significant menu than expected from the outside looking in. Ordered garlic cheese bread to snack on whole deciding on dinner items, arrived quickly and a good sized portion, with a side of this heavenly red sauce.
Decided on a house pizza and rigatoni with meatballs to share with dear hubby.
Yum, yum and a side of yum.
Hand tossed crust on the pizza, just right crispy and doughy, excellent bubbly and cheesy goodness.
Rigatoni was finished in the oven, lots of cheese and more than enough for the two of us.
Got to try a taste of the Alfredo sauce and wow… going to have a hard time deciding what to eat next.
Great place for a family dinner, bite out with friends or quiet date night. Fun and quirky.

Dined in several times and the experience has been consistent. Good food but uneven service. Each time something or the other has been off — wrong pizza, slow to get cutlery, lost pizza (some one took ours). But a family friendly place with decent pizza including some topping choices that keep things interesting. Their special pizzas are good (not the fusion type, which is a nice change) and well portioned.

This place beats all the chain pizza restaurants.
I ordered a deep dish Greek special. It’s deep dish, but it’s not super deep. It’s not Chicago deep. Still, the crust is pretty delicious. Unfortunately, the toppings were a bit sparse, probably not the freshest and the whole thing seemed really salty. When the overriding spice in a food is salt, I’m generally not that psyched.
Was quoted a delivery time of 50 minutes It actually took over an hour. No big deal on a weekend night I guess.

So relieved to find this Thursday night savior in the midst of the weekly convergence of schlepping kids and crap and even crappier delivery options in Edina. These guys make a healthy pie that parents will love. Terrific service (a real person at the restaurant answers the phone), and – I didn’t drug test anybody, but – a uniquely pot-​free delivery driver never makes you feel like your home might be his next burglary.
Great pie, great place! My pizza night go-​to!

We LOVE their hand-​tossed pizza! We tried them on a whim and have continued to order delivery. We served pizzas to 10 of our son’s friends, and the comments were all positive — all eaten! Sad to hear others have had a bad experience, but many are old posts.

We ordered a deep dish chef’s pizza and were hoping for a true deep dish style pizza with too much sauce and a thick thick crust. Unfortunately that was not what we got. it is a typical american style pizza place, the deep dish was just more dough then the hand tossed (I think we would have preferred ordering hand tossed). For the price it was a great deal since it is pretty cheap, but it is overall fairly average. The service though is great! The people who work there are very kind and thoughtful, they let us use a coupon even after we had ordered and forgot to mention it. I like it since it is a small place around the corner from us. We’ll probably go back if we feel like a easy meal around the corner.

Good American style pizza here.
I was looking for a local shop that delivers and this place hit the spot. I got a small deep dish BBQ Pizza, an Oreo pie desert, and a half gallon of 1919 root beer.
The Pizza was nicely sized even for a small. What confused me is that the pizza was uncut. Why would someone want a 9″ deep dish pizza uncut? The pizza was delivered to me away from home, and guess what, I had no pizza cutting device. Oh well good thing I’m a pizza animal and just tore pieces off.
If you get the 1919 root beer delivered, watch out because the bottles like to expand and eventually burst due to the carbonation. It is good root beer but not fun to clean up.

It’s ok pizza. Not terrible but not as good as Lake Harriet. I grew up on Chicago thin crust pizza so my bar is set pretty high.
I recommend giving it a shot. We like it, just not as much as some others in the area.

Good food good service. I like that you can bring your own beer or wine to drink with dinner as they don’t serve it.

We ordered delivery from Michelangelo’s because we had a buy one get one half off coupon, which we thought sounded like a pretty good deal. The specialty pizza menu was not as varied as other local places (Lola or Luce) but it seems to me that this is because Michelangelo’s really focuses on the basics. A really great cheesey, meat covered pizza.
We ordered a hand tossed Hawaiian pizza with bacon and a thin crust specialty pizza with Tomato, Basil and Garlic. I liked that the thin crust was light and crispy and their selection of an olive oil based sauce instead of marinara was a nice contrast to the traditional pizza we got. I liked that they added entire pieces of bacon to the Hawaiian, which was a complete upgrade from the bacon bits I was expecting.
Next time I hope I can try their take on deep dish with a meat lover style pizza, because that’s what they do best.

Listen, I am not MAD at this place. Seriously, there is no emotion there at all… exactly the issue.
I remember eating it thinking, meh. MEH!
Maybe we just ordered wrong, we went basic since we had a little group of less complex eaters.
As I ate I thought to myself, I guess I am not hungry anymore.
There is just SO many options around this area for pizza, I would chose a place I know is amazing.
Maybe we ordered wrong, bc people on this page seem to heart this place… meh.

Friendly service, fun atmosphere, terrible pizza.

Pretty easy to navigate their online menu, although I wish they had more specialty pizza choices. I ordered a small Greek salad and Mexican pizza. I know, I know, don’t judge me. The salad was okay, could have used more feta. The pizza was pretty good. The service was outstanding; the driver was fast and polite. I would order from here again.

Stopped in last night for a quick bit to eat before a night out with friends. Four of us ate for less the $ 35. The food was great and service was fantastic. Not to mention they ran out of the restaurant to tell me I forgot my phone on the table. Thanks again and we’ll be back soon.

I’m giving Michelangelo’s four stars and that is still bringing it’s rating down… gotta say something.
Anyway, I’ve been going to Michelangelo’s since I was a child and I have to say, the pizza has only gotten better. REAL toppings with REAL pizza dough makes for a great pie. Not much more I can say about pizza that would make you go.
So, while we’re on the topic, try the Root Beer…

I think this pizza is very good! Fresh classic Italian pizza. For classic pizza might be the best I have ever had. We have eaten here only a few times but every time we leave I wonder why we don’t eat at Michelangelo’s more often.
The best part is if you eat in you can bring your own bottle of wine in and they give you glasses and a wine key.
Trust me give this pizza a try!

We ordered the Shrimp Bacon and Pesto Pizza for delivery and it came really fast! We were quoted a 30 – 45 min. wait and the pizza arrived in 20 – 25 minutes! That is great service in my book.
The pizza was good, I love pesto and shrimp together and the bacon just took it up another notch. We got the thin crust pizza and the crust was nice and crunchy and perfectly charred. My one complaint was the pizza was pretty small for the $ 15 we were charged. I would have liked more pizza for that much money.
Michelangelo’s is a great option if your looking for quick delivery and great pesto in the Southwest area.
