Punch has the best ingredients that I have ever tasted! Everything is fresh and is never spoiled. The sauce is different than that of Papa Johns (or any other disgusting pizza like that). I guarantee that once you taste Punchs Pizzas, youll never go back to the cheaper kind that you buy in a box. The only thing that I dislike about Punch is that it is in such a small place. Everything is cramped and sometimes the lines are out the door. (But that just shows how much everybody likes it!) The waiting bench (which is rather large) can only fit a certain amount of people, and is usually overflowing with popularity. Even though Punch is known for its Pizzas, try their salads too! The Punch Salad is superb. I do have to say that Punch is good for takeout. You can order your pizza (or salad!) to go, or to dine in. I recommend doing the takeout, though. It does get a little cramped after a wile of waiting. The staff there is nice too, and theyre not creepy in any sense. They will be glad to answer any questions you have regarding Punch.

I was a regular purchaser of Punch Pizza. I decided it has been too long since I enjoyed one! I usually enjoy in the restaurant, but I took this one out and home to enjoy. I am sadly disappointed that the pizza I received was poorly made. The crust was too thin and all ingredients slid off as I ate it due to a very thin crust. It seems there wasnt enough cheese to hold everything in place. The crust was limp and seemingly not cooked enough on the bottom, although it tasted alright. I probably wont make it back there anytime soon for a limp pizza with all the ingredients sliding off. Too bad, it seems the quality has slipped or maybe they were just to busy to cook it appropriately. I wont hurry back with other choices I have better luck with, especially for the prices they charge.

I love the concept of punch pizza as a whole. They are definitely the most affordable and the most Delicious hand stretch dough pizza in the whole Minnesota. Its coming from a pizza pragmatic so trust me their pizza are good. Never been a huge pizza fan, but there, the pizza is just at a whole other level of good. However I recommend the Minneapolis location. Calhoun cooks barely add any cheese to the pizza. Even when I ask for easy on the sauce, the pizza comes soggy. I gave them 3 chances. Now I am out :/

Great pizza and amazingly fast service! I just tried this place for the first time and there were at least a dozen people ahead of me in line when I arrived, yet I was out the door with my fresh-out-of-the-oven pizza in ~10 minutes. The pizza was delicious, tradition italian with a thin crust and all fresh ingredients from the sauce to the toppings. I got mine to go but there was a large seating area both indoors and outside that could accommodate individuals or large groups.

Someone somewhere ranked this place the best pizza place in Minnesota. I have been to a lot of pizza places, and I would probably agree (though there are some niche places like Pizza Patrol and Sven & Oles in the northern corners of the state that vie for this spot, they ultimately lose due solely to the fact that I live in Minneapolis). Great pizzas, quick service, and decent prices. Ive never had a complaint with Punch, and I dont expect that to change.

Punch pizza ranks among my favorite pizza places. While this location is more fast-foodie than the original Highland Park restaurant, the pizza is consistently delicious. And while you wont get table service, youll get your meal quickly. I love the margarita and a punch salad, but I think youll be pleased with anything you select; and if you dont, bring it back to the pickup counter and theyll make a new one for you in 90 seconds.

Same as the other Punches, although the location is better than most. Parking is not so good, but so long as you bike there (which you should be doing, anyway), theres no issue. Really wonderful pizza, and unlike the St Paul location, you order and wait for it, rather than being waited on, which is nice. Seems more casual, or something. Not a whole lot of beer, but whatever. Pizza is like food-beer, anyway.

I love this Punch location. I lived nearby for 3 years. Theres just something about the way the pizzas taste here. I think theyve had a group of core staff there for the same period of time, if not longer. I also like that they have local breweries on tap. I would recommend skipping the dinner rush and try to go early or else eat a little later, otherwise youll be standing in line for a little bit.

Wow. This place surpassed our expectations and we expected a lot! Love the authentic Italian Neapolitan pizza and family-owned feel. The father was working along with the daughter and son when we went. All their pizzas are personal-size and brick oven baked. We got the Toscano and custom Sausage and Mushroom. We added extra crushed tomato otherwise you dont get a lot of sauce. Great!

Best pizza I have ever had in the States. Compares with the stuff made in the good restaurants in Italy. Light, unbelievably flavorful, and right out of the oven. Perfect balance. And their salad is at the same level as their pizzas. Also, this particular location is right next to Rustica bakery, which has amazing eclairs. So, wonderful place to go out to.

I was very disappointed with the Punch Pizza because they were really stingy with their ingredients. I ordered feta cheese on my pizza and could hardly find it. I certainly didnt get a piece of cheese on each bite. Even the other two ingredients that came with the pizza were scant. I didnt think their pizza was worth $10.

Punch is simply the best pizza in the Twin Cities. Remarkably consistent quality of both food and service at all locations. Neapolitan style pizza, meaning thin chewy crust with artfully sparse but delicious toppings. Do not come here expecting American pizzeria style pizza. But do come prepared to be blown away.

Delicious light pizza that doesnt leave you feeling weighed down like a lot of the food from other places. Everything is very fresh, the pizza is cooked in a large pizza oven where youre able to see it. Ive never had a bad experience here. Its a very relaxed place where you can enjoy some very yummy food!

Had lunch here and was very satisfied. Very good Punch Pizza Lake Calhoun food. Pizzas were homemade (not MN style, but good). The pastas are homemade and very good. The sauces are great! Get the meatball appetizer and THAT sauce outstanding! Nice atmosphere, good service, good drink selection.

The best pizza of this style in the Twin Cities. Tons of high quality toppings, dough so good youll eat the crust even if you usually dont. Its worth every penny. I stick to the classic Napoli with pepperoni and mushrooms, but honestly everything Ive had from here has been great.

I love everything about Punch. The food is fantastic, with tons of options so you can have your pizza exactly the way you want it. I love the environment, its a good value, and they post amazing online deals very regularly. I always walk away from Punch Pizza feeling great.
