Punch Pizza
Twenty-five years ago this month, co-owner John Soranno built a wood-burning oven in a St. Paul strip mall and forever changed the way Twin Citians look at pizza. The crust on this meticulously prepared Neapolitan-style pizza wet on the bottom, bubbled and charred around the edges is at its glorious best as soon as it leaves the oven. With takeout, consider ordering the parbaked version and completing the last crucial step at home.

94 Twin Cities restaurants that closed in 2020
Pandemic, riots devastated the food-and-drink scene in the Twin Cities this year. December 28, 2020 9:50am
Saying goodbye to a beloved watering hole, a neighborhood café or a four-star restaurant is never easy. But in 2020, the pain kept coming as the pandemic brutalized the Twin Cities hospitality industry. Some restaurants, already hurting from dining restrictions, were swept up in the destruction that unfolded in the Minneapolis and St. Paul riots. Again and again, places that surprised and delighted us, that entertained and nourished us, served their last meals. Here are 94 of them nearly three times the number of closings we wrote about in 2019.
