MN Pizzeria Is One Of Top 5 In U.S.: Food & Wine

MINNESOTA — When it comes to pizza, the question is perennial: What pizzeria makes the best pie? According to the well-regarded cooking magazine Food & Wine, Pig Ate My Pizza at Nouvelle Brewing in Robbinsdale makes the cut.

The list is composed of the creations of top chefs and bakers who, according to Food & Wine, “are among the new breed of pizzaiolos who are just as fanatical about the temperature of their ovens as they are about the provenance of their ingredients.”

Pig At My Pizza ranked No.4 on the list of 28 restaurants. Food & Wine said the eatery "pulls off its funky, unorthodox pies with brio."

Food & Wine gives the top nod to Pizzeria Verti in Philadelphia. Rounding out the top five pizzerias are A16 Rockridge in Oakland, California; Milo & Olive in Santa Monica, California; Pig Ate My Pizza at Nouvelle Brewing in Robbinsdale, Minnesota; and Del Popolo in San Francisco.

The 28 pizzerias in the report are located in nine states. New York City has the most, with 12 pizzerias, followed by California with eight and Pennsylvania with two. Arizona, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Rhode Island and Washington each had one pizzeria that made the cut.
