Reviews of Punch Pizza Eden Prairie (Restaurant)

Cole Pixley

Fabulous pizza! Highly recommend. Sometimes the crust gets a bit too burned but most of the time it's cooked to a perfect crisp. Get a single pizza for yourself.

Benjamin Gaston

Love the pizzas, they are cooked in a hardwood stone oven. The pizzas come out quickly! I have eaten really Italian pizzas and Punch pizza is very very close to the exact Italian pizzas

Preston Luman

One of our favorite pizzas! It is authentic Italian wood fired oven pizza with a crispy (sometimes a black spot or two). Not everyone cares for this style. It is NOT Domino's. Salads are tasty. Italian wine selection is good. Always served quickly. You can watch the cooking. I always admire restaurants that allow you to watch. Cozy ambiance.

Alex Wenthe

Best pizza in the twin cities

Ben Kruger

Great pizza but theres a long line and that really annoyed me other than that it met my expectations

Samantha Soung

As much as I love this restaurant, I really do NOT like that they do not do take out orders over the phone. Their wait lines are always 30 minutes long because they’re so popular. When you want your food, you don’t want to wait half an hour for it, you want it now. They do need a bigger place too, you can barely fit anyone in this side corner of the building. They’re so popular that they should be able to have their own building, I don’t understand that. Other than that, it’s a great place to eat pizza, I come here at least a couple times a month for delicious pizza that’s made right in front of you if you stand and watch them make it.

Kerry Kaiser

The pizza is like nothing else you've tasted. Delicious, fresh, and fast.

Leah Baker

Easy in and out- ample parking. This is the best tasting pizza anywhere. The ingredients are fresh-- try the margharita for the closest taste of Europe! The wood fire baking give the dough a crisp light flavor. The salads are large portions and again, very fresh ingredients. You will NOT be disappointed.

Noelle Gonzalez

Pizza is pricey compared to comparable places. Ingredients are very good and services is quick if it isn't busy. If it is busy prepare for standing room only.

Bryan Frana

Great pizza and fun staff. We took their recommendations and loved it. I had a margherita pizza with Fontaine cheese, sausage, onions, and basil.

niketa walawalkar

Fresh ingredients and really good pizza

Excellent brick fired pizzas with a few beer options to pair.

L.James Wegener

Good service, food out quick, delicious and tasty, best pizza around. The Maximus pizza was delicious with just a bit of spice from the pepperoni and red pepper flakes.

J.P. S.

Best wood fire pizza in Eden Prairie. I go 1 to 2 times per month, typically for lunch. The Neapolitan is my favorite and a fountain lemonde. It never take more than 5 or 10 minutes to have hot pizza at your table for dine in or to take out.

Mark Kuller

Excellent food, quick turn around

Aditya Prahalad

Totally awesome place. One of my friends suggested this place and I was imoressed. People say that if there is a line out the door, it means that is a good restaurant. I wanted to do a carryout so I ordered the eggplant gluten free pizza with extra eggplsnt. It took about 25 minutes, but we'll worth the wait. Pizzas range anywhere from $11 to $25 depending on the toppings you get. Also there is a big red earthen oven that give the pizza a good crisp. The gluten free crust was good.

Jake Freeland

Wonderful selection of great tasting pizzas with excellent service and a unique atmosphere. The only complaint I have is the price of these pizzas. The servings are generally small but cost a lot.

Chris Dickson

Best pizza you'll find short of going to Naples and getting your wallet stolen while you're eating it. OTOH on a busy day it can take an hour to get your order filled. Don't let that put you off.

Vida Dam

Great thin crust wood oven pizza that is always on point

Max Puig Powell

Food was amazing, and the atmosphere was perfect. Only drawback was the old cashier/register jockey. She aggressively questioned us several times on if we needed help or had questions while we were deciding. She then proceeded to interrupt us several times. followed by not returning the gift card we'd used when asked. Topped with the fact that the water tasted like melted plastic made it unbearable.

felipe garcia

Pretty good pizza, nice service.

Claire Adamski

Really good food, but layout is poor.

Annette Weber

Everything we ordered was delicious. My Italian niece was with us and loved it. We ate outside, and it was clean and free of trash/litter/flies/noise.

Todd Braun

Excellent food and great service.

Arun Batchu

Delicious , wood fired pizzas for a great price, in a cozy , warm ambience fostering nice and intimate family conversations.

Adrian Braswell

Punch Pizza is one of the best places to eat and enjoy time with your friends and family. It is also very popular place to find in town. I would highly recommend it.

Aviral Asthana

Punch Pizza is one of the best places to grab some real tastes of Neapolitan Pizza. Dubbed "the best pizza I've ever had" by many locals, this place has a wide variety of vegetarian, meat based, and mixed pizzas with an equally wide array of toppings in their signature collection. They even offer a create your own pizza service for you to really customize the Neapolitan tradition into your own perfect pizza. Lastly, if you don't feel like pizza there are also delicious salads as alternatives. In terms of pricing, this place can seem a little pricey compared to other fast food/semi fast food restaurants but it definitely makes up for it with the value it provides. I recommend all those looking to have a good, Italian style pizza to try Punch! Also, if I were to provide one negative it's that the lines/waiting times can sometimes take a little too long during the peak dining hours but for some, the anticipation just makes the food better.

Kishore Dasararaju

Choose from their pizza selections or make your own, made fresh while you wait. It's fast and delicious. Great bread with salad.

Anca van der Linden

Awesome pizza, quick service, convenient location.

Ashley

I love Punch Pizza and this location is amazing! The staff is very friendly and the food (of course) is amazing!

Marcel Nienhuis

Best pizza in the twin cities in my opinion

howard pearlman

The same quality pizza you get in Naples Italy...without the 10 hour flight. If you want to have Italian Pizza the way the Italians make it, this is the place to get it.

Clare Larson

Tasty pizza. Great for families. This location is always busy

laura hauser

Punch has good pizza and is a nice place to stop for a quick lunch when meeting people. Not unreasonably priced and the food always come out nice and quick even if there seems to be a long line.

Sarah Goranson

I just have to say, this is my FAVORITE pizza place! Their Bufalina is so tasty and different, and the kids love just the plain Margherita. They have a good rotating (small) selection of local beer and a good atmosphere, although the line for takeout can be pretty long! Get there early to avoid the longest wait. I recently had to contact their customer service because of a mix-up and I was floored by the personal and quick response. So great to support local businesses who really care about their customers and community!

Rebekah Ritson

Very accurate wait times when ordering for carry out. Rocket salad is delicious

Guilherme Fonseca

Amazing pizza ! Great atmosphere and parking lot up front.

Brenda Gilsrud

Love this location. Punch's authentic brick oven pizza is the best!

Kev Fin

Great pizza and atmosphere. Staff were friendly, asked questions on what we like, and helped to make the experience the best possible. The staff I saw (while ordering, eating, and leaving) were all smiling and was evident they enjoy the work in providing great food at a cost. $24 for two personal pizzas is the one reason why I will visit sparingly

Brian Hannah

Great pizza and great service. It usually takes about 10 minutes for your pizza to make it to your table. Make sure to see how many cat statues you can find!

Jim Sillery

A pizza in 90 seconds. In Punch's ovens they come out fast and delicious. The Punch salad goes great with the pizza. Craft beer is also available. Come early, seating can be limited when the outside seating is not available.

Zoe T

Excellent pizza!

Chandrashekhar Kankarla

Liked the wood fired Pizza and the freshness of the ingredients.

David G

Food is authentic and awesome. It's a little pricey so I only go for special occasions but it's gooooood

Joel Fralick

Very yummy and busy place

Alexandra Tabakov

Not your typical pizza that you're used to. Nothing like dominos, pizza hut, etc. Has an authentic taste to it and one of a kind ingredients. Was here on a Saturday night and it was extremely busy. Every one was nice, just a bit overwhelmed. Plus we got 2 coupons for 2 free pizzas.

Mariah Riley

Food was delicious as Punch pizza always is

Siddarth roy

Vesuvio pizza has a little punch !!

Gino Luciano

Great food and tremendous service. Loved my time here!

Scott Scanlan

Really good wood fired neapolitan style pizza! Big enough to share, but get one for yourself!

Mark Larson

Always great!

sophia koehnen

Best stoned baked pizza ever

Alison Anderson

Pizza was delicious and perfectly dressed with toppings. Nicely textured thin crust. Don't forget to order a salad to share. Super tasty chop salad was our favorite. Just be prepared to stand and wait for your table and then wait for your order. In fairness iit was 7:30 on a Friday, but they were definitely backed up and had a 35 minute wait for orders.

Jody S

Pet Friendly Patio!

Rachel Roccanova

Great neapolitan pizza!

Subhash Negi

Pizza cooked on their in-house oven was tasting great.

Mike Farrell

Great wood oven fired pizza, great salads, all at reasonable prices. Service is good and and pizzas are made quickly. Not fancy, but service and food is outstanding.

Abhinav Asthana

It's okay. Nothing special tbh

Dmitri Vande Zande

One of the best pizza places in Twin Cities

Shawna Parker

Wow! Such good pizza. Definitely on the smaller side for pizza, but well worth the price. The way it works is a little confusing at first, its not your average sit down place. You have to order first then take your number with you and they'll bring it to you. The workers were not very cheery and made the atmosphere a bit dismal. Otherwise, I'd recommend stopping in for a pizza! Ill probably get mine to go in the future

Ben

Great food fast and cheap!

Rachel Iverson

Line went fast. We went up to order our dessert and they forgot about it :/ waited 20 minutes then asked again. Very busy, great pizza

Calla Swanson

Delicious! Note: get one pizza per person unless you are NOT hungry or are a little kid. Good atmosphere and even better pizza!

Clinton Holder

I love this place. First of all it's always super tasty. This particular time I joined a friend for lunch and it's was really busy. Regardless, they had our food ready in under 10 minutes. I'm not sure that I've actually ever had a bad experience at Punch and I've been going to them for over 10 years.

Stadiume Hott

Decent quality Pizza place. Brick Oven authentic Italian style with good quality toppings/ingredients.

Valerie Cooper

Delicious pizza made fresh. You can watch your pizza being made fresh before its placed in the huge wood fire oven. There are tons of pizza options as well as the ability to customize.

Derek Daly

Great thin crust pizza

Caleb

Best authentic Italian style pizza chain, hands down. I've been to other style pizza places, and none of them come near to the quality that Punch pizza so easily delivers. Don't be put off by the fact that this is a chain - they're a chain because they're successful, and they're successful because they know how to make some darn good pizza. This is really the only pizza place where all I order is a standard cheese pizza, because it doesn't even need anything else to be amazing. The crust is so perfectly charred on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. Their tomato sauce is just perfect. Everything is excellent quality. This is not only some of the best tasting pizza I've ever had, but it's also among the healthiest pizzas calorie-wise. If you're visiting Minnesota and don't have Punch pizza where you live, I would HIGHLY recommend giving it a try. They have multiple locations to choose from, and they're all equally delicious.

Brian Olsen

I love this place. We go once a month or so. The only issue I have is a major lack of seating. The pizza is consistently awesome.

Erica Lynch

The whole family always loves to go to Punch Pizza

Rob Barrett, Jr.

So, this place, to be honest, is how I judge every other dining experience. I just want to come out and say that at the beginning. I have had so many wonderful meals over the years at Punch, that I am forever grateful. When i say I judge every other restaurant by Punch I mean that if my normal Margarita Pizza with sausage is $7.50 and I eat out at, oh say, the Bachelor Farmer and my meal there costs $75, was that meal worth 10 Punch pizzas? Most likely not, and in the case of the Bachelor Farmer it wasn't even worth 1 Punch Pizza, but alas, I'm turning negative. Punch Pizza is incredibly fresh, impossibly crisp and chewy at the same time. There's just the right amount of sauce and toppings and the fresh mozzarella is to die for. They cook it in a wood fired oven for just 30 seconds at 850 degrees (Try doing that at home) which renders a crust unlike any that I can recreate. They take their pizza really seriously and even monitor barometric pressure for dough rising. We normally go and get the large Punch salad and one pizza and split it. I don't know much about the rest of the menu as I normally get the same thing every time. My kids like the Mimi pizza, but you'll have to take their word on that. Punch was co-founded by John Puckett who started Caribou Coffee, so he knows his way around the business. Go and try Punch pizza and be ready to judge everyone else by them.

adak nassiripour

Authentic pizza and fresh salad ( we ordered punch salad)

Farhan Ahmed

The line is not as long as I believed it to be. I got the margherita pizza for takeout. It was cold by the time I got it home. There was a piece of basil on every slice. It is a meal for one person, and a snack for two or more. The inside is very nice and has a good view of the pizza makers.

Andrew Blakeborough

Good pizza more in the Italian style. Didn't have to wait too long for the chefs to prepare it either.

David Tidaback

Wonderful wood-fired. Napolitan style pizza. Beer and wine, all for reasonable prices.

Wron Knight

Some of the best pizza in the Eden Prairie area, the service is great too!

Ryan Halverson

Staff is always courteous and friendly. The pizza is delicious and hot. I love the artichoke dip.

Josh Feland

Incredible pizza and gluten free options.

Eliza Nebeker

This place is usually busy but that's because it's good! I'm always impressed at how quickly they can make such high quality food. It's on the pricy side but totally worth it. Don't miss out on the hazelnut panini for dessert.

Michael McMurphy

Went to punch pizza for the first time last night before going to the Minnesota arboretum Christmas lights,WORST pizza I have ever had in my life,crust was burned and raw,ingredients were no where near the pictures they show,cheese almost non existent,the owners need to not only order pizza secretly to inspect quality but go to st croix chocolate factory and eat a real artisan fire baked pizza,not even a bathroom in the place,would never go back,it’s the next morning and its still sitting in my stomach like a lump of coal.ps i gave zero stars but it makes you put one star to post review

Sean Taylor

Delicious, crunchy, full of flavor and absolutely worth a visit! Punch does a great job quickly delivering fresh high quality ingredient pizza to your table while keeping your night simple and low cost. These personal sized pizzas come through with perfect crispiness, gooey cheese and flavor that, bad pun intended, really has a punch! The salads are even more extraordinary with stunning ingredients, the cheese really steals the show! If you’re looking for some good food that’s quick and reasonably priced, I highly recommend you stop by this place. It’s a little tucked away but not far from the center of action.

Ann Thompson

SUCH amazing pizza!

Chris Palmer

Put me back on capri. Best I have had state side.

Duane Gilliland

Simple and delicious. Don't let lines fool you, the pizza bakes very fast.

Jonathan Leibovich

My punch experience has always been amazing simply due to the pizza, but recently, it has been extraordinary. This young man by the name of Jacob Berger is the nicest individual to have ever worked there. He always stays on top of his work and is very kind to us whenever we order. He is the epitome of “Minnesota Nice,” and for that, I would like to personally thank him.

A K

I was looking for best Pizza eateries and this place was highly recommended in most websites. So, I thought of giving it a try. Their pizza's are thin crust with minimal cheese and they nice to have on the spot. They have a very simple menu and their service is great. But if this is the best pizza in Twin Cities then I don't have very high hopes for Pizza here. Also, avoid taking this home because it gets cold very quick and it gets very dry when you reheat.

Ryan Young

Great Neopolitan pizzas and salads

shawn Jerde

We LOVE - LOVE- LOVE this place and their pizza's. The taste is unique and always packs so much flavor and texture. It's a bit on the expensive side but still one of our favorites.

Brian Huggins

Good brick oven pizza! You can tell everything is made fresh daily. The staff there are very curious and helpful. I went in and pretty much asked them to make me whatever her favorite was. Ended up getting back of staff favorite which was: Arugala on a pizza with lots of olive oil goat cheese and motzerarella. Also lots of crushed garlic. There was some basil strips as well as some roma tomatoes. Also prosciutto.

Justin Nelson

Delicious, fresh, made to order pizza and apps

JD R

Pizzas and toppings get smaller and smaller everytime we go and prices keep going up. Not being robbed anymore.

Emily

The food and service is always incredible, and the pizza is delicious (sorry i didn't get names) Thanks to the employees working tonight (7/15) around 8:30, the pizza was delicious. I accidentally left my drink on top of my car and drove off, spilling it all, and they graciously allowed me a refill even though I would have 100% understood if I had to buy a new one. Thanks again!

Asim Akath

Authentic italian pizza made with fresh ingredients. I love it!

Keerica Johnson

So good

Zach Bramel

Easily the runt of the Punch-litter. Awkward space and consistently checked-out staff.

Proper Family

Great traditional thin crust, wood stove pizza!

Anton Korotchuk

My favorite Neapolitan pizza place in the metro area!

Ilia Gomelsky

The best pizza in a town.

Thomas Smith

This restraunt should be in every town in America. Yummy, yummy wood fired pizza, good, fresh salads. Simple, tasty a relatively quick dining.

Tom Kusnierek

Authentic

Nicholas Eull

Pizza and service are always good. A bit of a gamble at lunch as there isn't always a table readily available, but they do a good job of managing the wait.

Brian Van Bogart

Best pizza this side of Naples. The one in Italy. If you want authentic Neapolitan pizza, this is the place.

zahir abbas

One of the most popular pizza restaurants in Eden Prairie. Sells Neapolitan style pizza. I just had pizza one time there. Traditional woodfired oven, cooks within 90 seconds. Awesome taste and great service.

Andrew Schmitt

Good service, great brick-oven baked pizza!

Sarah Hamel

Pizza is very fresh and tastes amazing. It doesn't have that greasy processed taste like other places. Highly recommend. But does get a line out the door during lunch time and there is not that much seating

Sarah S

Love this place! This is not your traditional Americanized pizza, this is way more authentic! Small, personal pizzas from fresh dough and ingredients, quickly cooked in a wood burning pizza oven. Try their margarita pizza! It’s simple and delicious! A good start for those new to Punch! I would eat here everyday if I could, it’s that good!

Shawn Fokken

Not a huge fan. Tasted more like stewed tomatoes on a soft crust.

Hitopp

The pizza is a good size and tastes light and fresh. The only major issue is the current space available in this location. There isn't much seating or space between the seating. We sat in a booth and had a baby in a high chair on the end of the table. I think we had to adjust for people walking by at least 10 times while eating there. If you have a family (5+), I would avoid this location during peak times.

Vicky Li

Consistent with other Punch locations. Nice staff and I love the pizza. My favorite is the margherita extra.

Victoria Dittrich's

Best pizza page I've found locally or on all my travels. If you are a pizza lover Punch is a must.

Corey Buhl

Pizza and service are always good. I really wish they would add a best option. Sliced bread and oil, or cheese bread, or some kind of side the pizza sometimes isn't enough to fill you up. But great place for a fresh pizza.

Shannon Kantack

Great food & service.

Greg Garritty

There were four of under in our group. The pizza was great as usual. I especially love the dessert panini. The only thing that I don't like is the seating. It's always busy so it can be a pain to find a seat.

Jim Shelhamer

Great pizza

TomDaBendy

The pizza is great and what I like about this place is that the pizza cooks very fast!

Nelly P

Love the pizza!

Nora Makky

Very cramped space. Had an unclean feeling. First time at punch, pizza was ok.

Vincent Shad

Love love love. My favorite pizza since 10+ years in Minnesota. Go there with friends and family. Wish their patio was better designed but I love how the food is, how the staff works and the decor inside. Keep it up Punch!

hailey stammer

Best pizza EVER. I probably go here every other week. The pizza is amazing and cooked in 90 seconds. The ingredients are so fresh it doesn't even feel bad to eat pizza. Not only is the pizza good but the salads are as well. The chopped salad is a must to try and comes with rosemary bread. the staff is very friendly and cleans the tables fast. The only thing is there isn't much seating for busy nights. people are often left standing waiting for seating to open up. On busy nights the line is almost if not out the door, but moves fairly fast. Definitely worth the wait. The prices of their pizzas are alright and the best deal is probably the margarita pizza, couple of dollars less. This pizza does not keep unfortunately, it is really only good right when they bring it out to you, not a good day after snack pizza.

Mackenzie Johnson

Delisious pizza and foccocia bread! Pleasant and helpful staff!

Tiffany Wollum

Very good pizza, fast service.

Laurencio Ronquillo

Great place easy parking. Fast food with great food quality. Amazing salad and pizza that I had. Great ambiance and friendly service. I will be back. Indoors and outdoors option.

Michelle Doyle

Fast service and great staff!

Deepa Gokhale-Bhujle

Punch is always reliable pizza with great taste. It has right amount of crispy and right amount of cheese. Pizza had nothing to hide as every ingredient is cooked right and the best quality

Kimberly Smith

Love the pizza. Though it is often very busy and I would like to see a little more variety of non-pizza options. But as far a pizza goes it's absolutely fantastic.

Lisa Kraayenbrink

We had one of their specialty pizzas this time, the Siciliana. It was good but a little salty for our taste and the crust wasn't quite as crispy as we like it. Love that they offer wine by the carafe too. Overall, we've had good experiences here so would still highly recommend and give it 4 stars even though this time wasn't the best.

Angela Palacios

Best pizza place around. Ingredients are fresh. If it's not right they make it right plus some. Staff is so nice.

Julie Greene

Neopolitan pizza. So yummy!
