Apparently I wont be going here ever again. Sorry my order for Chai tea was of way too little importance to even start to make. The staff is always in the back and never comes to the register. Hit the bell ringer 3 times sat there for 5 mins. Only heard staff talking about when their shift will end in the back. And the owner seems to have an issue explaining anything on their menu. Sorry I wasnt sure of what all comes on a Gyro Pizza. Oh and pizza is doughy and they put wayyyy tooooo much cheese!!! In the end "I am disappoint."

One bite into the thin crust pizza, and it might as well have been my first crush in elementary school, i was head over heels in love..... our favorite pizza, thus far, by a mile and two feet, in the metropolitan area. The price was honest and fair ($24 for 24" pie and 2 cans of pop), maybe too fair for what you get. This is a top 10 minneapolis bucket list pizza eating experience, go get u some! "Sear", the owner along with staff were refreshingly generous with hospitality and offered excellent customer service.

I stumbled across this place while doing my undergrad at the U around 4 years ago and learned Campus Pizza was closing. This place is better than Campus ever was. At the time, the inside was pretty bad. I met the owner and told him his pizza was by far the best Id ever had but he should update the inside because I really wanted it to be successful. Years later, the inside is completely rerenovated, and based on reviews, it looks like others discovered the gem. It just goes to show people will always notice quality.

Happen to be in Minneapolis on a Sunday evening and was very hungry and wanted to eat something, Thanks to God for guiding me and my wife to Football pizza. Some really likeable features. 1. Can get food at a time when most of the places are closed. 2. Really tasty food(Unique concept of football pizza). 3. Waiting time was really none. 4. Very hospitable owner and staff. 5. Delicious mango shake and Chai(Loved it). Would definitely visit again if in Minneapolis and would highly recommend others as well.

Best pizza place on the east bank / near the U of M campus for sure. Definitely better than Mesa (I like Mesa but who really feels like spending 4 bucks on a slice just because it has cereal on it or something) The employees are super friendly and have always been happy to see me. I always get the pizza spicy or extra spicy, its amazing. Great food, great people, five stars. Support small businesses run by people who care.

The pizza tasted very good, but the thin crust was very soft and limp; like trying to hold a wet towel, it flopped straight down and took two hands to support at both ends and bite into. It would have been much better with a crispier crust. Im not asking for a hard cracker-like crust on some other thin crust pizzas, but the ability to support its own weight at a minimum.

Overall amazing experience. Starting with great host, amazing service and then one of the best pizza i have ever had. We ordered meat lover and pepperoni pizza(catch pizza). Both pizzas were really good but meat lover was outstanding and with the spicy souce it took pizza experience to another dimension. Its a must have food if you evet visit Minnesota.

Stopped in for a late supper. Had some great lamb kabob which we shared. The owner spent time visiting with us and it is obvious he takes great pride in the restaurant. Time waiting for our order was what i would expect. Great coffee wish they did breakfast. Plan to visit again when Im in town.

From the first day of my visit and every other time the personal, owners and managers provide AMAZING service following with the MOST delicious and freshly prepared food. They are very unique and well known with their signature FOOTBALL PIZZA that you should really try! I highly recommend them!

Love this place, food is really good, especially the rice (its really important to me that the rice is not dry), and the pizza is great! Try the extreme chai latte. Most importantly, Seer (possibly Sear) the owner, is an awesome guy. Love chatting with him, great humor, makes you feel welcome.

From New York and while I havent tried like every place in Minnesota, this is my favorite local pizza based off of the flavor of the sauce (not just going basic, store bought), and the texture of the pizza. It also isnt at all expensive, so underrated in my book.

Surprisingly good pizza and Middle Eastern fare. Service and cooking is slow but if you go in with that expectation you will enjoy it. The place has recently been redecorated (late 2015) and is more pleasant than it used to be.

Good service, good pizza. Pizza had a different taste- a good taste- but not like any pizza Ive ever tasted before. Also the football pizza is actually shaped like a football which is awesome.

Seems a little silly, but this really is some of the best pizza in town. Lots of cheese and a fairly thin crust. Basically the best incarnation of bar pizza. Good prices too.

The BEST pizza in town. If you havent had Afghan pizza from here, its almost like youve never been in Minneapolis. Mmmmmmm, pizza is hard to reinvent, but the Azizis did it!

Their pizzas are unique and have a taste that is unlike anything offered in the area. Well priced and delicious, order yours spicy if you want the true experience.

Small local place that makes great pizza. The meat lovers pizza was awesome. Apparently Thursday is trivia night as well.
