Zazzy Pizza Spots in Minot
There are a lot of great things about living in Minot, ND. One of them is a unique pizza experience. Our local restaurants do pizza differently than the big chains or regional trends like Chicago, New York, or even California. Here, we like our original crusts, flatbread pizzas, and creative toppings that introduce all new flavors and textures to the idea of "pizza."
For this reason, no two pizza places are the same, and if you're looking for zazzy pizza that puts the "zazz" in Pizzaz, then you'll love what we've got to offer. Check out the best pizza restaurants in Minot and what makes each a new, exciting, and delicious pizza experience.
The Starving Rooster
The Starving Rooster is a great lunch cafe that serves delicious appetizers, soups, salads, and a great selection of sandwiches. Appetizers like bruschetta and baked artichoke dip pair perfectly with sandwiches like pulled pork BBQ and meatball subs. But what they're best known for is the local style pizzas.
The Starving Rooster style pizza crust is crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, giving a robust and tasty base to every pizza. They offer brick oven-baked pizzas and flatbread pizzas with your favorite specialty topping combos and gluten-free options. They also use the brick oven for baked pasta.
For dessert, you absolutely must try the chocolate chip cookie skillet, a giant warm, gooey chocolate chip cookie in a mini square skillet topped with melting vanilla ice cream.
Happy Joe's Pizza & Ice Cream
Happy Joe's Pizza has a thin-crust style with toppings that go all the way to the edge. But the crust is only the beginning. Locals love the inventive toppings, including taco pizza, BLT pizza, BBQ pizza, chicken alfredo, chicken hot wings, nacho, cheeseburger, or the Happy Joe's Specialty Pizza: Canadian bacon and sauerkraut. Yes, these are all pizza combos, and people enjoy them, so you might too!
They also have pretty good calzones and breakfast pizza. In addition to pizzas, they have a pretty good menu, including appetizers, salads, burgers, and sandwiches. For dessert, there is a variety of dessert pizzas (including birthday cake pizza) and personal pints of ice cream.
Uncle Maddio's Pizza
For artisinal pizzas with amazingly fresh ingredients, head to Uncle Maddio's Pizza. The crust is fluffy, and the topping selection includes beautiful fresh vegetables, meats, steak, and more piled high on every pie. You can get specialty sauces, including fresh pesto with both classic topping combos and the unique options that Minot locals love.
Uncle Maddio's also has tasty pizza-style cheese bread, tasty Caesar and Greek salads, wings, meatballs, and calzones. You can choose from a cookie or cannoli for dessert. As a plus, their prices are extremely reasonable.
Prairie Sky Breads
Prairie Sky Breads is not overtly a pizza place, but they serve an amazing personal pizza as part of the cafe menu. Each pizza is served on a log round, which protects your table from the heat and helps it remain warm on the table in a wonderfully natural way. As bread specialists, you can trust that the crust is absolutely delicious, and the locals adore the inventive pizza topping combinations that rotate through the menu options.
The crust is fluffy and crispy at the same time, with an amazing flavor. Toppings are generous but not overflowing, creating the perfect balance of flavor for any specialty or personal topping blend. Many people come back regularly for Prairie Sky pizza over other options in town.
Spicy Pie Pizza
Spicy Pie Pizza is the closest to New York-style pizza you can find in Minot Pizza. In fact, its mixed reviews often represent the split in preference between the local specialty style and classic New York pizza. In other words, Spicy Pizza Pie serves a flexible thin crust and a spicy pizza sauce. They have fewer "creative" toppings (so there's only taco pizza, buffalo chicken, and buffalo ranch, in addition to classic toppings).
They serve pizza by the slice and by the pie, flatbread pizzas, bread bites, garlic knots, and gluten-free options. They also offer delicious grinder sandwiches, tacos, tostadas, and wings, so there is something for everyone. For dessert, there are zeppolis (cinnamon sugar donut bites), peanut butter rice crispy treat bars, and DippinDots.
Prices are also notoriously excellent, which means getting a full lunch or a big group meal on a comfortable budget.
